Despite Chicago's struggles, second baseman Gordon Beckham has batted .390 with seven RBIs in his last 11 contests. Who IS this guy?!

CWS 7/6: De Aza 8, Ramirez 6, Rios 9, Dunn 3, Keppinger DH, Gillaspie 5, Viciedo 7, Beckham 4, Flowers 2, Sale LHP

Flowers is playing? I refuse to watch.

 

/kidding (only because Sale is pitching)

Phegley usually sat or DH'd once or twice a week in Charlotte.

 

I'm guessing the playing time will be 60-40 Phegley -- until one of them (Phegley, I hope) earns the majority of the time.

 

Sox wearing home unis on the road?

 

that's what Farmer says.

What's the red about?

Turn back the clock uniforms? I don't remember TB ever wearing that uniform.

Turning back the clock to 1972

The Rays didn't exist in 1972 so it's a kind of tongue in cheek event

turn back the clock day.

 

Seems strange for a team like Tampa.

 

But everybody needs a gimmick.

Was that not last year, though? Or do they just chuck in a random one every now and again?

It was last year, for us. This is a Tampa promotion

Ah, grand. I think not having Hawk has me a bit addled.

For sure. These chumps are boring

Fauxback uniforms for Tampa.

I dig the Rays uniforms

I kinda like 'em too.

Fundamentals escape DeAza

Typical White Sox/Sale game so far, 2-0 Rays after 5.

3-0

poor sale can't catch a break with our terrible offense and bad defense

Well that's it for Moore...good for the White Sox. Maybe we can score now.

I hate Tyler Flowers.

118 pitches for Sale, the best and most valuable player on our team by a mile, after hitting the 120s his last start. Robin needs to cool it with him, immediately. It's not like we're going to win anything this year, and given all the concern about his propensity for arm troubles down the line due to his his pitching motion...Hahn need to pull RV aside and get him to cut that crap out. I know it's terrible but at this point I almost wish Sale would get some kind of a minor leg/groin strain that would keep him from throwing for a few weeks.

Good post about the pitch count. It's ridiculous what's happening with Sale right now.
