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

That curveball 🤤
Tim “single to right” Anderson
Not an Abreu scoop, yikes.
Stone changed from “cease is challenging hitters” to “That’s going to increase his pitch count” very quickly.
Cy Lorenzen
How many times do the White Sox needs to face Lorenzen before they figure him out?
28 pitches for Lorenzen through 3. Sox hitters have the worst /no gameplan ever. Constant protect mode. If it’s near the zone, it’s go time
And here we go with walks and the inability to throw strikes.
Well we lead 75-28 in pitches thrown. If we can figure out how to do that in runs scored, the run differential deficit would be a thing of the past.
Oh my, we’d actually still be 5 short. That’s incredible

cancelled out by #wildpitchdefense
man on 3rd and that’s the effort the catcher gives? thanks.
I’m not ready to say which of these two teams is the third best team in the division.
It’s win the division or top 7 pick in the AL central
That looked painful for luis

This is what a White Sox-Tigers game in 2023 should look like.
As long as we win, I’ll take it
Funny how we have all the core players healthy and still can’t scored. In the meantime our best hitter at home by 100 miles is in the bench.
1-2-3 innings all around
At least Lorenzen doesn’t have a perfecto going this time!
I said it yesterday- after watching Lorenzen dominate the Sox the last two outings, he will be Hahn’s biggest free agent acquisition of the offseason.
He doesn’t walk people. I’d trade Giolito for him right now
If he was acquired by the Sox he’d start walking people.
3-4-5, third time through the order today, 6th time in a week. 7 pitches, down without a peep.
I still don’t know how you guys can sit thru this day after day. It’s painful following it on Gameday.
Lol yeah but its baseball. I have an outside tv setup. Wife is tanning, pups are lounging around, food is on. It’s a good summer day, even if the white sox are actively trying to bring it to its knees.
I guess you can’t have everything perfect!!
That’s a lot better than me sitting at work following the game on Gameday!
Well at this rate you may make it home to see the end. A walk off would be a nice boost. Each team has the “heart” of the order here coming up
I like baseball in general
I love baseball- I have all my life- but I also hate self-inflicted pain!
That’s why we drink
Graveman has been fantastic this year.
Fantastic in different ways – Robert vs Lange’s breaking stuff may be a sight to behold this half inning
Should have bunted Robert
Lange didn’t throw strikes last time and he got an easy 1-2-3 inning… Beni had a different approach: swing only to strikes
Robert didn’t read the memo. Got K’ed with balls outside of the strike zone. One was almost a one hop grounder
Luis is definitely the Sox’ best player. I feel like the majority of team’s best players simply give you a better at-bat in that spot.
I don’t think Robert has had a single good at bat in 3 weeks
He chases a lot. But his chase rate this year is right in line with Julio, Bichette, Arenado, Trea Turner, etc.
The one eloy struck out was nasty but luis is trying to get them on the second hop.
Our 3-4-5 hitters, the “core” of this rebuild- 0-12 with 6 strikeouts. At least they won’t be coming up in the 10th.
New rule: whoever makes to 3B is granted a run scored.
Maybe that’s too hard. Let’s give each team two manfred men. You are free to place in any bag of your choosing
Reynaldo has been a supercharged Jose Ruiz this year, no?
As in throws hard, isn’t good?
Not tryna be a smartass just curious. I remember Ruiz throwing a lot higher % of off-speed stuff than ReyLo,, usually curves and changes where ReyLo tons of 4-seamers w sliders mixed in
Ahhh walking hitters makes its appearance again.
Big inning Rey-lo!!!
Except for Kelly’s hiccups in Detroit last weekend, the bullpen has been great. And it should continue to get better as Liam rounds into shape. Now get a run!!
Whoever tires first loses
LMAO
This game was probably the worst baseball game I have ever watched
Only 2 teams in the AL Central could play a game like this.
“Professional” baseball at it’s meh’ist
All 3 runs today scored on wild pitches. But a win is a win!!
I think the scorer may change that last one to a passed ball. I think most catchers don’t let that pitch get past.
What a weird play to end the game. I’ll take the win.
How many games have had 3 runs scored via wild pitch without any other method of run-scoring?
Hahn better start preparing details for the parade in November!!
I feel bad for the ump, but this is tremendous content
What a perfect ending to a deeply, deeply stupid game.
Love the stupid game comment! I’ll tell you something stupider. Why in the world didn’t Gonzalez start? Playing well at the plate and playing well in the field. Hustling on every play. Can you imagine, he comes to the park today and sees he’s not in the line up! I know what I would think. What the blank do I have to do? Maybe tomorrow the Sox will win on a balk. Haven’t seen that in a while.
