It was the same with the Reds guys they interviewed.

The K Zone on fox is off. The box was at or below Votto’s waist just now

Not sure I'm quite there yet... but very pleased so far. Also great to see the Kip Wells references in the broadcast tonight.

Rocking a new profile pic for this bizarro game with Reynaldo Lopez.

Cishek had a sub-3 ERA the last two years and has pitched less than 9 total innings. Ruiz's career WHIP is close to 2. Gotta give Cishek a bit more rope still.

Mazara has just over 30 at-bats... with a wonky pre-season. Also his OBP is actually above his career OBP right now. So if he's struggling but still managing to get on base somehow I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. The guy's not exactly an all-star to begin with. That being said... not good against lefties.

What's the reason for worrying about launch angle? I personally like it when Eloy goes oppo all the time. I'm a long-time fan. But the last time I had a lot of time to follow the Sox no one talked about launch angle. So I'm genuinely curious.

Yes people in the Sox organization need to realize that you can also breathe through your nose. Lookin' at you Don Cooper!

Not in 2021

Carlos Santana and his 48 walks this year says hello...

Just gonna go ahead and quote myself here... Abreu came out and took three pitches, and then got a good one to hit. Good job. Also nice job making it to second easily.

Good to see Jose Abreu is okay. Although I'd like it to see him have a more patient approach at the plate. His walk rate is way down. He's a dangerous hitter. Pitchers are going to be careful with him. But he's hacking at a lot garbage... my two cents.

Anyone else missing Stoney and Benetti right now? Sheesh...

Did that end up being an error on Colome? I hope it was. The reason he didn't touch it was because he played it so poorly. Not because it was a tough play. Looked like it should be routine.

Haha there was a player named Jesus Colome though...

Jeff Dunham??? Seriously - been enjoying Stone and Benetti all year. I have MLB TV and am constantly jumping around and the other guys seem pretty stale.

I was just wondering...

Colome was two nights ago.

Cordero with the rolled up sleeve is hilarious. Just has to be the gun show with him 24/7.

Isn't that Capra?

Unfortunately Florida is quickly catching up to Illinois. And deaths have tended to lag cases. Take a comparison with New York and Florida. Florida now has more cases recorded than New York. However, New York has 166 deaths per 100,000 people. While Florida only has 31 deaths per 100,000. You would expect those numbers to start getting closer together over time. Hard to see Florida's health care response being that much better than New York's. If the gap between Florida and New York on deaths per 100,000 is only split in half, deaths would reach over 20,000 in Florida. Up from the 6,585 today. And of course the more Florida health systems become overwhelmed, the worse they will be able to handle patients with COVID. This will also have negative impacts for patients that need medical support for reasons unrelated to COVID. Up to now, Florida has 2,148 total cases of COVID per 100,000 people. That number is 1,409 for Illinois. In the last 7 days Florida has 334 cases per 100,000. That number is only 78 for Illinois. Florida also had almost 1000 deaths in the last week. While Illinois had 117. The only thing Florida may have going for it, is that while the virus may be evolving to be more contagious, it may also be evolving to be less deadly. More deadly forms of the virus have a harder time spreading. Hopefully their health system has also learned from other jurisdictions that got hit hard earlier. Anyhow, take all of that with a grain of salt. I'm not an epidemiologist. It also doesn't mean Illinois couldn't slip back into serious trouble. Sorry - I know this doesn't have anything to do with the White Sox.

Thanks bud! Things are good. Hope all is well with you too. Pandemic is finally giving me some more time in life to check back in with my Sox. I had still been following them, but more casually in recent years. However, that didn't stop me from visiting US Cellular for the first time to see them a few years back. They lost, but it was Grateful Dead night. lol I also saw them lose twice last year in Kansas City. Detwiler and Reynaldo were the starters, so no surprise there. But talent like Moncada and Eloy gave me hope. Cheers!

And this ball game is O-VA!

I live in Ottawa, the capital of Canada. Around one million people live here. We have had our struggles for sure, but right now we turn around test results in 24 hours 34% of the time. 92% of the time in 48 hours. In addition, when someone does test positive we are able to reach all of their contacts through contact tracing 85% of the time within 24 hours of a positive test. Part of the reason we are able to do these things quickly is we keep the cases down so we don't overwhelm the system. *knocks on wood*

Nice mask wearing there by Francona... ?‍♂️
