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

108.8 mph off the bat for Moncada. That’s a good sign.
And his second hit was 106.5 mph.
And another reason not to play Leury
And a critical lackadaisical error.
Cueto is such a joy
Eloy might have noodle legs but he has a beautiful swing
Road Gavin just isn’t very good, for whatever reason.
2022 Splits for Gavin:
Home: .282/.356/.583 – amazing 163 wRC+!
Road: .224/.260/.272 – horrific 51 wRC+!
Career Splits for Gavin:
Home: .296/.360/.630 – amazing 172 wRC+!
Road: .210/.270/.288 – horrific 58 wRC+!
Can you quad-platoon a player (only starts home games vs. RHP)?
Wow, I got that Sheets hit better at G-rate than on the road, but I didn’t realize the splits were so drastic. It’s hard to figure what could account for such a huge difference. G-Rate is a hitter friendly park (especially for lefty pull hitters) but it’s not Coors.
Man on 3rd fewest than 2 outs….White Sox hitters worst nightmare
Robert is out of the game. He should have been on the IL 2 weeks ago. White Sox young players seems to need a month or more to heal any injury. They have the healing power of a 60 year old man.
As a man in his 60s, I resent that remark. I’ve not been on the IL even once this season
I speak from experience. As a man of 52, every time I get hurt, it takes a long time for me to heal. I remember when I was in my 20s, if I tweak my ankle playing soccer, 2 days later, I was back on the field. Now? I limp for 2 weeks. But not everyone is the same.
I wonder how good he was feeling before getting hit by a pitch on his hand in his first at bat.
Jason and Gordon have called the Seattle run unearned several times. It was earned.
Yep, good catch. It scored on an error, but you have to play out the rest of the inning. I can’t remember if they assume sacrifice flies on the deep Suarez fly out, but the single by Winker after that makes it moot. The run would have scored, regardless of the error, by unearned/earned run rules.
Why arenโt we talking about the ridiculousness of the error and how it might cost us a game.
Because it didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things? There would have been a runner on 3rd with 1 out without the error. Suarez hit a deep fly ball (that would have scored the runner from 3rd), and then Winker singled (which would have scored the runner from 3rd). Please set aside your burning hatred for Moncada and try to look at it logically.
You have no idea what would have happened next had the ball been fielded cleanly.
No one in the world misses that ball.
Yeah, let’s play Leury there. That will solve all our problems!! In fact, let’s sign him to a multi-year deal!! Oh, wait, we already did that.
Sheets’s poor defense has cost the Sox over the year but that run scores even if Sheets doesn’t commit the error.
Don’t worry, he’s not blaming Sheets for the error (see his first post).
Great job by Jimmy to get out of that. Now, time for the offense to score with the best part of the lineup coming up.
Jimmy “High Lev” Lambert has been a pleasant surprise.
We need a homer
Gotta work tomorrow. So this is it for me. Good night.
