I'll be honest, if I were an MLB gm, and my lefty specialist came into a game and walked the lefty he was facing on 4 pitches, I'd be faxing the league office his release papers before he even gets off the mound. It's probably one of many reasons I'm not an MLB gm.

Maybe, but he was 100% in the right there

incredible contrast between starting the inning with Sheets's attempt to catch a pop fly and ending it with Robert making a catch look routine that plenty of CFs would be diving for.

Love that that happened just a half inning after Stone's speech about baseball players being more athletic than ever before.

Maeda's ERA just went from under 1.5 to 4.15. Early season stats lol

True, but it was also a cookie and Alvarez crushed it. Not letting Diekman off the hook because Benintendi could have made a better play on the ball (still would have been tough).

The only surprising thing is that Alvarez didn't hit a home run.

Most of the game I was thinking to myself "welp, same old Sox." and honestly, the still might be. One game is a small sample size. But to win this game the way they did, against the Astros especially, felt like exorcising some demons. More importantly, it also felt really really really good

Thank you for using this correctly. For whatever reason, I've seen a bunch of people this year (not here) saying things like "Hope springs eternal in the spring!" The pun is already built in guys, that's the point. We aren't quoting a 300 year old poem because we are super into enlightenment era philosophy.

Just put Liam in!! If he blows it he blows it, but you NEED to maximize your chances to get to the tenth here

Matt manning has to have one of the most "average" faces I've ever seen. Dude looks like one of the default faces in a video game character builder.

Cleveland really gave us a gift today. And unlike the rest of the year, in the Miggy era the White Sox actually take advantage.

I'd put my foot on the ball until I could figure out how to put some stuff down, but he didn't look steady enough to manage that tbh

Do you think that old man holding all the food got the ball? There was no one else even close, but it looked like he couldn't figure out how to put anything down to get a hand free to pick it up. tragic.

White Sox - Complete a Cut-off Throw Challenge [Impossible Difficulty]

It makes a ton of sense for this to be Hahn. He essentially got demoted when TLR was hired, and then has seen his reputation go from exec of the year to trash tier in a year. Then TLR finally leaves, the team starts to play to its talent again, he thinks he can save his job and his reputation, only for Jerry to try to enable TLR to come back again. If Hahn thinks he is on the hot seat anyway, or is just tired of being (in his mind unfairly) judged for the team's failures, why not take a shot on a hit piece like this. Maybe he finally got tired of taking Jerry/TLR's s%*# and lashed out.

Y'all think Tony was watching? Games like this can't be good for his heart....

Here's the best argument for Cairo I can make - - despite Robert and Moncada (and of course TA) missing a lot of the games, since the 9-7 loss Leury Legend has only started 3 games, and none since the Twins series.

These are the games you gotta win if you want to be a playoff team. These are the games we've been losing all year.

Taking two out of three from the Ms is probably enough to keep pace with the Guardians and vault us past the Twins. But if its going to happen, it kinda feels like tonight has to be the night. Luis Castillo is very good and very hot and very right-handed, and our best-case scenario is that we'll be throwing a slightly rusty Michael Kopech, but at this point it seems more likely that it will be Martin or a bullpen day. A win tomorrow will be a tall order, so we better take advantage of Cueto throwing tonight.

The whole thing sucks. I hope he gets better, and I hope he doesn't return to the team. The fact that failing the former would lead to the latter of course doesn't mean I don't want him to be fine. If anything, this just makes me more mad at the org. I have certainly made jokes about Tony/Jerry dying, weekend at Bernies, etc, in real life if not on here. Obviously I didn't actually want him or Jerry to have health issues -- the performance of my favorite baseball team isn't worth anyone's life, even someone who has made high-profile off-the-field mistakes. But the reason we make these jokes is because we feel that we've been backed into a corner where there is no path to a contending team without these horrible things happening. We won't actually root for them to happen, so we joke about them instead. In a functioning org, we wouldn't have even had the temptation to make these sorts of jokes. But those jokes suddenly feel real hollow when a health scare actually strikes. I guess, in the end, it just makes me reconsider whether I should make nihilist jokes or comments about Weekend at Bernie's or Tony coaching until he kicks the bucket or things like that. This is still a human being, and if I wouldn't say these things to his face I shouldn't say them when hiding behind the anonymity of a message board. Anyway.... Jerry when?

Nah, vacation implies it would eventually come back.
