Bad baserunning by Sheets, but also really great play by Grienke. Very few if any pitchers have the presence of mind to cut that ball off at all let alone nail a guy too far off 2nd.
Excellent ab for Romy. 2-1 count, gets a fastball but it’s low in the zone so he spits on it. Then he gets something he can drive on 2-2 and gets the job done. Bravo!!
I’m very critical of sox hitters who swing at bad strikes in hitters counts. Way too often. So this might be the happiest I’ve been lately with a sac fly.
Against my inclination to doubt the White Sox when it comes to drafting and player development, I’m beginning to believe that Sheets and Burger are legit major league players.
Kopech’s not trying to nibble, his mechanics are simply inconsistent enough that he’s trying to throw strikes and they’re noncompetitive pitches instead
I can’t get on him too much there. He watched the guy not be able to get the ball over the plate the previous inning, so leading off the next inning he takes two pitches – which just happen to be perfect pitches. The last swing was bad.
What’s the hat being used in this game? I missed the significance.
It’s the Armed Forces hat. Pretty sweet
I thought probably but they weren’t showing the patch on the side in a still as everyone was moving quickly. Thanks!
Kopech looking great early. High velo, lots of life, aggressive. Keep it going!
Gavin Sheets, what are you doing?
TOOTBLAN is what he’s doing. You have to know and watch the runner ahead of you. I knew right away they were going to have to hold Vaughn on that.
All of Sheets’s crappy baserunning from last season is coming back to me now.

Lynn would never be in the right spot. I’m sour on his defense.

Robert not stealing the RF’s ball for once, but he def thought about it
We aren’t playing a RF, so he should have.
crazy how simply throwing that fastball 95-98 in the zone means success
Most frustrating part with the entire staff. The stuff is amazing. Enough with the walks. Get aggressive. Couldn’t possibly be worse

Sheets flew out but the way he worked that at bat suggests the trio of hitting coaches may be getting through to some of the players.
Kopech is … not bad through 5.
I know it is only the Royals, but with 5 innings of no-hit ball, zero walks and 7 strikeouts, Kopech is proving that he can be a capable starter.
we lost 3/4 of the last series. so.. “only” is an understatement for us sox.
So Kopech should pitch always with an extra day of rest?
try it until it fails. and even then… try it some more
Oooops
I mentioned unlikable Guardians the other day. I don’t know anything about him, but there’s something I just can’t stand about that guy.
He’s a Guardian. That’s enough for me.
The 2023 Guardians have a very 2022 White Sox feel.
I have seen better ar bats from pitchers than that strike out by Romy
so…he should become a pitcher?

Where was this Kopech before?
Can we please have Joe Kelly close this thing if Kopech doesn’t finish it himself? If he brings in Lopez I’m going to lose my mind.
Will you accept death hole male genitalia?
Graveman should split the difference between those two.
