Gotta feel sorry for a team that lived on miracle comebacks. Boo effing hoo. But anyone think that Taylor had nothing and got away with it?

100%. Velocity was down and there were a lot of pitches in the heart of the zone. Cleveland could have made it much harder on us but they kept swinging early in the count.

Thank you Cle for being so desperate and Getz for getting Doyle to make that look so easy! Go go White Sox!

To be fair, they kept smoking it early in the count for the most part

I would have rather taken by chances with Burke and his luck of the Irish. Against a better hitting team, we could have been in trouble in the bottom of the 9 th. But all that ends good it’s good for me.

Absolutely incredible if they make the ALCS but can't count the chickens before they hatch. Can never rule out the Cleveland team. As far as chicken counting, both the Rays and Yankees are incredibly beatable before we go up against any one of those titans from the NL.

Yeah we got screwed in game 1 with the Pham fly out, but we got some payback this game with Adell's fly ball going off the wall and Bailey's fly out not carrying. He didn't hit it as hard as Pham, but that is usually a hit.

sub in who???

Acuna?

I meant making sure to have your defensive OF ready to go by the 9th, pulling Peters for Pham

Joe Adell exit velo 108mph

Nathaniel Lowe 96mph

Angel Martinez 95mph

Travis Bazzana 99mph

Patrick Bailey 104mph

CLE clearly planned to jump on Taylor early this time which is probably the best thing to do

Pinch me. We are one win away from the ALCS.

And 5 from the World Series 👀. One game. At. A. Time.

I’d like to see Venable utilize Hicks more to Save Taylor’s arm.

Two time Gold Glover. Turned out to be a good acquisition by Getz after all.

I’m not gonna fault him for using their best pitcher if he said he’s good to go

Second screw up late against the Guardians by Sam. In LF. Will needs to learn that defense late is more important than a runner or even a run when you are up two in the 8 th. A costly unforced error.

I thought it was a clean single. Nothing like the misplay couple weeks ago, or whenever it was.

I'm curious whether Hagen was considered available.

Peters was subbed out of the game when the Sox were down by a run and Sabrowski was on the mound. I recognized the risk at the time but I think it made sense.

I just heard that Wednesday's game is going to be a blackout game . that is absolutely outstanding . I was at the last one in 2008 where Thome hit his the home run .

Just bash these weak ass hitters with a 12-0 win, super easy 😈

Wouldn't be surprised to see some Sandman too

The only reason Burke gave up a hit at all was because Peters wasn't playing left as he should be in late innings. Pham just isn't a good enough hitter, imo, to warrant weaker defense in the latter innings.

Yeah this was different than when he subbed Doyle out for Braden in the game where Sam couldn't catch the last out.

We already had a lead in that game.

This I agree with. But Pham did almost hit a 3 run bomb off Sabrowski on Saturday, so I understand the sentiment.

I'm not sure Grant Taylor is human....this is unbelievable

Burke ain't bad either
