South Side Hit Men

Their roof doesn’t “close”. It gets close, covers the park from rain, but does not completely close like Milwaukee or other retractable roofs. Seattle is a mild climate, so there aren’t many times where heat and or air conditioning would be preferred in a ballgame. Last night was an exception to the rule.

Sadly, that’s an everyday lineup for many teams these days.

Hope they can take their first this season against a RHP. Had to laugh when I came across the fact Twitter unverified Steve Stone. https://mobile.twitter.com/ChiSoxFanDave/status/137938711661924352

Houston reclaimed both the Division and League lead with their win over Anaheim. They get a day off before facing Oakland on Thursday. Kansas City claimed their first division lead since the start of 2019. They finish their two game series with Cleveland today, before traveling to Chicago. Philadelphia relinquished their League lead to Los Angeles, but remain in first in the NL East. Cincinnati claimed their first Division lead since May of 2017. Three currently are tied at 3-2 atop the AL East. Division Lead - The last time each team has led their Division (ties don’t count).

312-609-1313. I give that number out for reward programs. And now the Dan Libitard show is on instead of White Sox baseball. Before the game was cut off, Kasper said the Sox are one game away of tying the all time record. with 18 straight against LHP.

Very nice, nice boost to Abreu's confidence after pressing the first few games.

The ESPN Radio feed has been down the past five minutes. It's a shame, because I love listening to DJ and Kasper.

The guy in the stands with the foul ball catch just high fived two dozen people. Super spreader event.

Are they calling pitches from the dugout with Collins in? Listening on radio, and they haven't mentioned it. Watched pitches called for Collins and Mercedes on the internet streamed ST games. Thanks in advance,

They should drop Lamb and call up Mendick, limit Garcia's playing time to the OF, can blend Mendick starts in more if Madrigal continues as he is. Wanted him up Monday to start the process, Lamb still hasn't played a game. Put him on the taxi squad or drop him. July would make it a full year in the majors, they should get someone at the trade deadline if he's drops into the 500s-low 600 OPS range.

Just returned to the White Sox game. Had to listen to this entire song during the sand dune segment until ESPN 1000 returned to the game. Guess I learned something new today. Sort of looks like a DH/C I know.

ESPN Radio feed goes to a God-Damn national show yet again. They are talking about mountain biking and sand dunes. This radio station is amateur hour. I so hate all things ESPN.

Not according to MLB stats on Savant. FF (47) 92.6 SL (13) 85.3 CH (29) 81.7

Robert can rake with the mistakes!

Perhaps they can trade Colas' bonus slot money, a win win for Jerry.

Nice to get out of that after the leadoff walk with minimal pitches. He should be able to go five, maybe into the sixth, depending on if he has any arm issues/concerns based on the drop of velocity.

You can't walk Marmolejos to start the inning.

Vaughn pops his cherry.

That was a Madrigal play there.

Left elbow discomfort for James Paxton. Hope he can return some point without another surgery.

It wasn't "a year", Nick Trubisky played a dozen couple games, in part because the dumb ass ran through a coaching's hold sign and jammed his shoulder at third. Kelenic was by far the best selection, no hindsight. They had no sure fire RF, no hindsight. Then they go, knowing they are jammed packed at DH and select Vaughn, who has no position with Eloy, with Abreu, with their precious Grandal $74M signing, with Mercedes, with Burger if he was ever considered. You got balls going past Collins, Vaughn learning a position on the fly. A typical Rick Hahn shitshow.

Child please. Madrigal has zero power, and when they squeeze his ass in the outfield, his slapped balls become outs. Eloy is not an outfielder, and pretending that he is lead to what has happened the past two years. Kelenic plays RF and CF. Not only was he a much better hitter, and fielder, but he also fit a need the Sox have been scrambling to fill for years. Mazara, Eaton.

Yes, glad I was wrong today. Tip my hat to Collins and for La Russa for starting him today. Still would like Mercedes to have a shot to catch, but not sure the club feels the same way.
