Feels like an Arby’s night.

Happy anniversary!
These are sweet jerseys for Atlanta.
Over/under on how many pitches before the Sox are losing. I’ll take 15.
I think it will be a close game
I lose!!
Timmy playing like #2, hitting #2, kismet.
Watching this game and I am wondering if this is some sort of Stockholm syndrome variant
Anybody volunteering to watch certainly isn’t healthy.
I have to do work tonight so it’s kind of doubled.
Will the Sox make contact with a pitch in every inning?
Tim strike out was the tell of someone that doesn’t want to be there
Lance Lynn against this offense, gonna be some souvenirs for fans in the OF.
I’m glad Lynn gets to go vs Strider. Even 6 IP, 3 ER improves his trade stock and he’d basically have to throw BP to hurt his value at this point. Worth a shot.
Innings munching does have value
Thank you Lance Lynn for improving your trade value.
Strider might have a shot at the 20 Ks record
And frustrating as a Sox fan to see an organization able to pick a guy in the 4th round and soon after have a quality rotation piece
THREE runs in ONE inning. By the White Sox.
Shocking.
Well, maybe this season is my fault. This is the 3rd game I’m watching this season, and they’re 2-0 in the other ones. I guess I should have watched them all and they’d be in first place.
Well, maybe it’s not my fault.
I napped, wake, see it’s 3-0 sox… as Rosario hits a homer. Unreal.
Braves fans sound like they’re having all the fun.
It seemed that way upon my visit there in 2019. I think they’re happy with the team, the ownership, the new stadium, life, winning a bunch. yup, the opposite of a sox fan.
Albies could’ve easily scored, what happened with the cutoff?
In the meantime Schultz toying with low A hitters. Zero runs allowed this year.

Geez, he looked like he put half effort in on that pitch.
Oh snap, Colas frosted his tips.
I’d have done the same, but bad call Beni.
Rosario is a terrible outfielder.
That throw was something though. But that was white sox level corner defense.
Colas looked a little wobbly on that
Fun Fact: By Baseball Reference’s formula, in 5 games totaling 20 innings, Touki Toussaint has more WAR (0.7j than Jake Burger, Andrew Vaughn Eloy Jimenez, Yoan Moncada, Yasmani Grandal, Joe Kelly, Gavin Sheets, Lance Lynn, Aaron Bummer or Tim Anderson.
Okay, not actually fun.
Without looking, I’m guessing you could have used an “and” instead of “or” — since many of those players are in the red, I’m gonna guess that whole group combines for less than 0.7 WAR.
Combined.
strider is a relatively good matchup for this aggressive, fastball-hunting, low launch angle offense. they like hard fastballs and have issues elevating, so Strider’s FB rise is not as deadly for them. kinda the same reason they handled Verlander pretty well when he was w Houston
200 pitches minimum for Lynn.
Hahn might’ve called down, ha.
Signs of life for Colas’ bat.
He is looking hitterish tonight.
seems to be adjusting somewhat. he’s prolly nothing special but I think he’ll be an averageish RFer by next year
The Sox are playing as though they want to win this game regardless of the talent differencial.
I hope Graveman doesn’t blow this one
well…. these guys are good
Can’t remember the last save by Graveman
Now I remember 😋
Just a few seconds ago
This season is crap, but that was a hell of a baseball game.
it was a good game indeed
It’s nice to be reminded occasionally that watching baseball is supposed to be enjoyable.
Miscellaneous fact:
Luis Arraez just had his 6th four hits game this season. The White Sox only have 2 of those as a team. Eloy and Benintendi with one a piece.
Oh I thought you meant games where the team got 4 hits 😉
Helluva play by Tim to end it. That was fun.
Good footwork by Tim on that game ending double play too.
Nice play by Timmy to win it… any team that gives up 4+ to the Sox deserves to lose.
