2 hours ago2 hr In 20 years, Burke will be honored at The Rail Yard Park, throwing out the first pitch to cheers of "Cleveland Sucks".

Also, it is not against the rules of god and nature to pinch hit for Mr. Mune.I know it’s re emphasizing but under no circumstances whatsoever should the all time strike out leader in baseball recorded strike out history be allowed anywhere near home plate with a bat.
2 hours ago2 hr I am assuming Newcomb is going to open for a best case scenario of 2 inningsThis is where Burke cements himself as a White Sox legend with 7 innings of no hit ball.
2 hours ago2 hr I'm not confident. But whatever happens it was a cool summer. I think what we as Sox fans worry about is that it's very possible this doesn't happen for another 5 years again. Sox got a few good young players but like last rebuild Jerry won't get it over the hump to sustain. The Sox will be dumpster diving again this off season. That is if there is an off season. I know they probably got no chance against Tampa but this series they should win

Going to have to roll with him. Brayden had a big hit in game 2, roll with him as well.

1 hour ago1 hr Yeah Randal's at bat yesterday prevented a huge inning. He looked way too antsy up there in that at bat. Hopefully not being in front of a home crowd has them playing better/loose.
1 hour ago1 hr Braden is currently unplayable against lefties. Against righties hit him right where is now. .430 OPS in the season good for a 22 OPS+

I understand Meidroth in game 3 striking out in the first inning the way he did, but the vets looking that bad cant happen.

It was so bad.I presume he misjudged how hard it was hit and thus took a real bad angle/route…off the bat I thought it was a routine out. In fairness I thought that quite a bit on some of the hits Taylor gave up.

1 hour ago1 hr This is the first game of the playoffs I have zero confidence in this team getting it done. the bullpen is absolutely gassed. Which means they probably win this in a blowout...because 2026 White Sox!
54 minutes ago54 min Author 20 minutes ago, fathom said:Also playing in right center field didn’t help.Kind of like having Colson shifted way up the middle when Taylor was throwing non stop curveballs to the first batter… that was a routine grounder that ended up being a single.

Braden was playing in RCF for an inside fastball and Colson was playing up the middle for an outside curveball. Unless both guys just completely missed ln location, the positioning doesn't make a lot of sense.

Not very sustainable.
9 minutes ago9 min To me, this series is our World Series. Making it to the ALCS would be a MASSIVE win for this team. They do not match up against the Rays pitching at all, and honestly I don't see the Sox nor the Guardians fairing well against them. It comes down to holding the Guardians to a few runs max. Burke looked awesome his last time out, and I am hoping for a repeat performance. Without scoring a few runs, the late innings will be a tightrope walk for the Sox. The bullpen is spent. They're going to have to rely on a couple guys at the end.
4 minutes ago4 min Ah s%*#. Ditka just passed away. Now the Sox need to go into Cleveland and win it for Da Coach.
