Take a look around.
I’m the sunshine in your hair.
I’m the shadow on the ground.
I’m the whisper in the wind.
And I’ll be there until the end. #ForTheLand pic.twitter.com/bsBW6J5Szi
Writing about the White Sox for a 16th season, first here, then at South Side Sox, and now here again. Let’s talk curling.
I feel bad for Cueto…I feel like he’s had an inordinate number of games in which TLR puts out a lineup that looks designed to lose the game.
LaRussa utilizing the ‘some hands on deck’ deployment.
Francona probably didn’t game plan for this lineup. Tony outsmarting everyone again…
It has been decreed that Cleveland shall get every damn lead off hitter on in this series.
Another lineup with about 5 guys who should be bench players. Seriously, if we get swept today and have to face Bieber tomorrow, this season could be over.
Imagine this lineup without Abreu next year, the one guy who produces regularly and can play every day.
Leury will carry the load. That’s why Hahn gave him a 3 year deal.
Grandal doing things.
That was a great walk by Sheets.
100%
McKenzie might be tiring already
Little League defense
I could put up with our defense if we could hit. But to not have either……just not fun
We should put that play on the season retrospective
We can’t have nice things
3 runs look like the 27 runs Toronto put up yesterday
Just tuned in, why is Anderson not in the lineup? A day of rest?
Yes.
Unless something is wrong with TA and he sits the 2nd game as well, I think rest is pretty ridiculous. He never should have played in the allstar game if he is that fatigued that he can’t play a doubleheader.
All just nonsense so that Leury plays more than he should. La Clown’s middle finger to the fans, as if he hasn’t given that gesture enough times this season.
One of TLR’s favorite things is double-headers. He loves being able to plan out ahead of time his two lineups that get every position player on the roster at least one start. Tim, Eloy, and Pollock will start game 2. I’m pretty sure, based on this history, that McGuire’s going to start at catcher in game 2 vs. a LHP, which is dumb as well.
3d chess stuff
Yep, McGuire’s in against the lefty. Everybody gets to start. Yay!
So in a double header, Zavala starts vs a righty, and McGuire vs a lefty. I mean how clueless does a manager have to be to not notice and question that?
That’s a real head scratcher…Also, I seem to recall that Lynn particularly likes throwing to Seby.
Tony is consistent about the results not mattering I guess. The good news is that the Sox face a lefty in game 2 so they should score some runs. The bad news is Lynn is on the mound.
Probably pitcher’s choice of who they prefer to throw to.
And of course McGuire has a hit in his first PA
If they played in Europe, would Myles Straw be known as Kilometers Straw?
I love a good metric system joke
Erg
Kylometers Straw
Kylometre in Canada
Would love to know this offense’s slash line first time through the order at home.
We really struggle early in games. I was able to find it for the first 3 innings: .225/.276/.342.
Thank you for the legwork. Putrid numbers
It feels like Leury’s last hit occurred 8 weeks ago
Let me get this, TLR pinched hit the only credible outfielder available in this roster?
3D chess stuff
Yeah, not sure what to make of that. Is Engel hurt? Leury or Pollock will need to play CF.
Nice rally. I’m not going to say DSNB, because then they always stop. So: prohibit quitting immediately guys.
Tie game 😳
It would not surprise me TLR sents out Cueto in the 8th
Moncada with the matador defense again
I wonder how this will affect the White Sox Broadcasts.

Interesting decision to bring Hendriks in for the 9th given that Graveman has already been used. We’ll need someone who can get strikeouts in extra innings if we don’t win it in the 9th.
Not sure it was the wrong move, but it sure didn’t work out
Maybe they could deal Liam (or Graveman) to the Dodgers for a couple top prospects? It might be best to think about punting this season and think creatively about how to get some badly needed minor league talent. Relievers are easily replaceable in the FA market, so they might not be worse off next year.
The Yankees are desperate for relievers. Chapman sucks and they just lost King for the season. They have some good prospects.
Well, might as well give up 1 more run at this point, so they think about not putting in Clase.
It was nice until it wasn’t
Cleveland radio announcer Tom Hamilton when the Sox throw the ball around the horn after getting three outs: “Why are the Sox throwing the ball around the horn? Well, I guess that says it all.”
Hey, they need any practice throwing that they can get.
So far this year, Cleveland has out scored their opponents in the 9th inning by 20 runs. Gotta put those guys away early.
Winning a series at home has been close to impossible
Rosario, Ramirez, and Giménez playing back to back games? No way. Doesn’t Feancona know players need to take breaks to keep them fresh?
Josh said game 1 was the worst defensive outfield configuration he’s seen. Larussa has accepted that challenge in game 2. And then they wonder why they can’t beat Cleveland. Slap single hitters vs. slow outfielders = 15 bloop hits per game
Engel cannot play back to back games. He’ll break.
Hawk Harrelson pointed out that the agents of these players are dictating players to go on a 10 day dl instead of playing with a hangnail. The players are told not to hustle and the pitchers are using the same theory now. This management is destroying the Sox.
Hawk Harrelson? Playing hurt is something the Sox have too much of in my opinion not too little of.
Totally disagree, the Sox need to pay for production rather than paying for what they did yesterday. Injuries like Robert is rediculous as he has been off for a week. Get some players who want to play every day not just get paid
Robert still has blurry vision, which is not exactly conducive to playing baseball. Hawk makes it sound like the White Sox are the only team that pays players who have agents. Go look at what Manny Machado and Bryce Harper have done since getting their massive guaranteed deals, and let me know if it made them complacent.
Sox don’t pay those two. Some players do play thru hangnails and hustle on every play both offensive and defensive.
Robert has had blurry vision for over a week, and you think he should just suck it up and take the field?
No, he still has blurred vision and the Sox don’t know why? It has been a week , continues to get paid?
Are you for real, or is this some kind of character you’re developing?
Playing hurt has been a problem because often this organization don’t use the IL properly.
Walking Maile is suboptimal.
Game 2 will be another chance to win….. Just kidding
Ugh, Vaughn forgets he has a good eye after going up 2-1 against a guy who can’t find the zone, and Abreu was late on 91/92 mph fastballs.
well it feels like Lance is back to last year’s level, which is good news
The swings on Lynn’s fastballs in that 5th inning looked like they are supposed to when Lynn is right. That’s very nice to see.
Total random thought, but given his lefty bat, catchers helmet and look of his face, it just donned on me that Reese McGuire is the spitting image of Mark Johnson. If you remember role players of the early 00 Sox
Both first round picks, too.
Josh Harrison couldn’t jump over a phone book.
I’m not sure that’s the best reference. I barely remember phone books and I was born during the JFK administration.
I was born in the last days of Carter, and I have 3 of them on top of my refrigerator which I use regularly.
You do?
Why not?
He’s reasonably athletic, but he’s stil 5’8”
There you go, Eloy! More of that, please.
It’s such a beautiful power swing. I don’t think I could ever give up on him.
I also can’t quit him.
need to be seeing a lot of the ‘ice in the veins’ jogging round third this second half
So glad that we had Ruiz all rested up for this situation.
I was going to say I pray that Kelly doesn’t make his way into this game at some point, but Ruiz isn’t exactly a welcome sight either.
This team is a banquet of endless sorrow. Lynn doesn’t give up any runs and still won’t get a win. Now the Sox need to come back. Unbelievable.
Disheartening. I gotta stop watching the White Sox playin at home.
Never had a doubt 😅
He’s not really going to bring in Matt Foster is he?
Oh, but he is.
That’s right. Foster’s going to do the ol’ rock-a-bye-baby routine. If the Guardians fall asleep then we win.
Hendricks pitched in the first game, he rests in the second game. This is becoming a trend ?
Just wow. I missed the end but I would been in disbelief that Foster would pitch in that situation. Neither Graveman nor Hendriks? It worked, but it’s almost like La Clown wants to put them in the best position to lose at all times. He’s been quite successful.
someone gave him the phonebook from a small town but it was enough.
Get that man some elevator shoes!
