Writing about the White Sox for a 16th season, first here, then at South Side Sox, and now here again. Let’s talk curling.

Watching Cease walk the world I thought, does anyone in baseball walk more people than Sox pitchers?
The answer is yes- Pitt, Texas, Wash, Kc ,Cincinnati. That is all.
Combined with the fact that the sox hitters have the fewest walks in baseball. Safe to say free passes are killing us this year
Last I checked, our pitchers lead MLB in pitches per plate appearance also…just a very inefficient staff overall.
They’ve improved, last I checked the Sox had second most BBs.
The rebuilding seasons were not only more fun than this season, they were significantly more fun. This is brutal.
Really is amazing what expectations do to the feel of things. Sox haven’t lost a series in a month. It’s been an excellent stretch. But it feels like a slow death
It looked like both Tim and Josh slowed up on the ground ball up the middle. I’m not sure if either would have been able to make the play, but that was odd.
Oh my, yasmani in the open field
yaz with the slowest 1st to 3rd i have ever seen
If Seby hits a ground ball here, Texas might be able to get the old 6-4-3-2 triple play with Yaz at third.
Lmao at picturing that
Skip had to love that one lol.
Jose Berrios: Double Agent
Im thinking what’s better than the twins losing? The twins blowing a large lead to lose. Right team to do it
Well, to be fair, they did DFA the guy (Duffey) who blew it yesterday lol
I have faith in all twins relievers to blow games.
Im good news, I just checked the schedule and Berrios will pitch again in the series finale vs Baltimore and not in the following series vs Cleveland
Solo homers in back to back innings, 5-2. On their way
Vlad jr bomb, 5-4
Eloy!
He’s back!
That was a beauty
Bombs away off the Lockheed Martin sign
An extra base hit for Yaz!
Yas waking up is a welcome turn of events
Yaz walk! Yaz 1st to to 3rd! Yaz XBH!!
Yasmani is not fast.
His “running as hard as he can” looks like a leisurely jog.
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be catchers.
Let ’em be pitchers and shortstops and such.
DJ on watching Grandal trying to stretch that into a double:
“My heinie was clinched!” He then went on to add sound effects.
I can’t believe they wasted that effort.
That fly ball was close to a repeat of yesterday, only Vaughn got to it this time.
Any line drive towards Vaughn raises my blood pressure
Vladdy Dadi, We like to party!
No lead is safe against the Bluejays
I know the heat’s oppressive in Texas, but man it really just looks like they traded in a beautiful ballpark to play in an Amazon fulfillment center
That’s kind of the vibe they go for in Texas.
Ugh. Moncada is next level awful. Competent with the glove to be fair. But what an absolute mirage he put on earlier in his career. Such an absolute waste of salary for someone that’s supposed to produce. He can’t even nominally provide offense. Ray Charles could quite possibly equal his performance at the plate.
I’d still rather have him in there than Burger.
Overall I’d agree. Mainly because Moncada is far more competent with his glove. I honestly have more faith in Burger offensively. That says alot about how incompetent Moncada has been at the plate.
For all of his struggles, he’s still hit pretty well with runners in scoring position. That along with the glove make him playable.
He laid off some pitches that shocked me.
Dylan Cease is next level awesome right now.
Sox should be doing literally all they can to try and sign him long term.
God you must feel like such a chump looking at strike three right down the pipe.
Eloy is really hitting the ball hard
Popeye with another home run tonight. What’s gotten into him?
Started eatin his spinach?
Gracious sakes Tony is an atrocitie. Seriously… a hit and run there!? 🤦♂️
I can’t really blame him for starting the runner with Abreu up there. He leads the league in DP’s every season.
Meh. Different strokes I guess.
So dry: “You get hit, you go to first base, that’s kind of the way this works.”
Lopez fitting right in in that Twins bullpen.
Tapia was down 0-2 and rips a rbi single, 5-5!
Nut shot alert! Lol.
We’re #2! We’re #2!
Oh shit
I’m so tired of hearing about Moncada’s talent. He’s not good and continues to be by far the worst link in this offense!
Because we need him defensively please hit him 8 and just leave him there!!
