South Side Hit Men

8 pitch inning, wonder if Tony tries for one more.

Last nine Kopech appearances: 9 1/3 Innings; 13 Runs; 11 Earned Runs. Thank God Cesar put an end to it.

Is anyone warming up? They need to replace Goodwin with Lamb for defensive purposes.

Really could have used the double play there. The lack of fundamentals doesn't seem to impact playing time on this team.

Let's keep the game thread positive today. Good thoughts begets good results.

Way to go Leury!!! White Sox 6 Toronto 1

That works. Tim getting the party started.

This would be one time I would consider a bunt, because Goodwin is a pitcher hitting against a LHP.

Nice dig out by Vaughn! Nice low pitch count inning for Carlos.

That's 4 runs, with nobody on and two out.

Yes, God forbid you provide fans who want to watch the game, the "free game" you offer, the chance to watch the game. Can't see them running Tim, especially on turf after sitting 4 games the past two series. Tony says most guys won't be stealing. A Back To Back And a Belly to Belly White Sox 4 Toronto 1

Yes!!! Luis Robert is back, baby!!! White Sox 3 Toronto 1

Make them pay with two outs.

Carlos pitching well, though at 28 pitches, may be on a shorter pitch count than normal. Hope he can get through 5-6 today. Did Tony say whether Hendriks (39 pitches Tuesday) is available? Bummer (27 pitches yesterday) will not be, not sure about Tepera (20 pitches).

Eloy listened to Luis' stay command. Good boy.

Yes, Cesar ties it. Let's beat this punk.

They hit the ball well, keep swinging this way and the luck will change, Robert xBA .590 Abreu xBA .400

In other news...

We won't be seeing Danny Mendick today.

I don’t recall Kenny Williams publicly speaking or going on record at all about anything in 2021. This was the last interview I’ve seen featuring Kenny Williams, very poignant.

With 3 catchers, they likely go with 12 other position players and 13 pitchers. If Engel and Hamilton are both activated, one current player must go to accommodate both (Lamb?). Sadly, it’s likely Sheets and Burger aren’t promoted, to accommodate Goodwin, possibly Lamb. JFC Fearing Engel doesn’t return with all the delays and setbacks this season.
