Only one inning where we pushed runs across.

Not so fast, my friend!

I get it and I bang my head against the wall at a ton of what Colson does.

But I don’t get everyone complaining only about him instead of Mune or Braden or . . . others?

Tristan Peters entire 18 pitch at-bat

True. Outside of Castillo the TDL was not the downfall of the slump. The number #1 run scoring team in the league has had a lot of trouble scoring runs and Davis, Burke, Kay all have had their problem since the All Star break and TDL. The bullpen was overworked but allowed Hagen Smith to get his feet wet and is now flourishing.

Maybe if the Sox can clinch the Divsion with a couple of games to go we see a start by Thorpe but the Sandlin move was the right one. I think they just want Thorpe to get stronger and be healthy and he'll get a shot in Spring training. That should be a wide open race for the starting pitching staff.

Depending on any off season trades we're looking at possibly. Schultz, Sandlin , Smith, Thorpe, McDougal, Martin, Burke, Castillo or even Vasil and Taylor. Fedde could sign elsewhere but he may want to stay here where he's pitched best.

Kay also is under contract next year, right?

Also Shane Smith, Cannon, Kay, and Ky Bush.

Just got done watching the Chiefs destroy Denver.

Very, VERY happy they showed some guts tonight.

To keep the streak going I'll skip Tuesday as well and I'll check the score when all is said and done.

Would never have guessed a six run inning off of Williams.

We'll see but I personally think Smith and Cannon are broken beyond repair and who knows about Bush after he had another set back in his rehab.

Yes I kept looking at my list and thinking I missed a guy or 2 and then I was like Duh I didn't put Hagen. So turns out I missed Kay too . Thank you.

Right missed Kay, considered putting Cannon on the list decided not to .Did not think of Bush but even if I had I wouldn't have included him since I was trying to only consider guys who realistically could make the starting rotation with good spring Training performances. Shane Smith, given his melt down, could qualify, but there's a lot of guys ahead of him at this point. Not sure how much 2025 Smith will be considered if he has a very good ST especially if there is an extended lockout.

I will feel a lot better if they can win at least one more game this series. Would guarantee at least 1.5 games up with the tie breaker

Colson has earned a day or more off

Acuna should take over SS the rest of the way, a better glove and will get a hit once in awhile. Meanwhile Mune and BMont are problems, they have to go with Grichuk in RF the rest of the way with Doyle as late inning defense. Looking back, trading Derek Hill and Jacob Gonzalez were big mistakes.

Winning the series would be huge, with 12 games left if we win 7 the division is ours, here’s how, 1 more in Cleveland, 3 of 4 against Detroit at home, 1 in KC and 2 at home against Colorado. If we go 6-6 we probably still win the division but the key is winning 1 more game against the Guards, we have Cleveland down and the pressure is on them.

Hill sure. Gonzalez not so much it’s looking.

Maybe not Gonzalez as he’s struggling in Pittsburgh but who’s to say he would have struggled with us.

If Kwan is playing LF does he make the catch on Teel's liner that Martinez flopped on?

I’m not sure. They had him shaded way over because of the LHH

Could be the case but food for thought Kwan is lefthanded so he would of had a better chance over Martinez's epic flop.

We talked about this in the game thread but you can't watch anymore games this season after last night. And I have to go to book club for the rest of the year. 😂. Whatever keeps the streak going!

Listened to the guardians post game Podcast:

• They thought Vogt overthought it with the pitching matchup.

• With the White Sox winning the tiebreaker, the guardians no longer control their own destiny. Even winning the next two games, the White Sox still have it in their hands.

• Subtext was wild card is probably more realistic.

I think the only thing that really irritated me last night was letting Burke start that last inning when Hagen was warm, and the prior inning was 30 minutes of Burke waiting. There was no need for Burke to walk out there and give up that double

PLUS it was against a lefty. Totally agree

Again, it's the vibe that he is only trusting a few guys and really riding them hard.
