Yes.

What poem is that from?

Offer the QO. His arm held up way better than we could have ever expected for 130+ innings, and he was elite. With no structural damage, this season could have helped build back his arm strength along with another offseason program similar to last offseason.

No way Abreu doesn’t at least DH tomorrow. But Sheets at 1B scares me, so hopefully he feels well enough to play defense.

Depends how much they need Kopech games 1-3.

A Moon Shaped Pool is a beautiful album, and they are still one of the best active live acts.

People be complaining.

I don’t understand this conversation.

Yeah, we all heard you. If you saw my last response to you, I am taking this into consideration. For what, I have no idea, but that’s okay.

Yep. This season, I felt most comfortable with Rodon on the mound against any team. And not only to get a W, but to completely dominate. Was really really hoping they could get him healthy enough to let loose in a few starts in the postseason.

Okay, I’ll take this under consideration. Thank you.

Not surprised. Does not mean I cannot be upset about it. If you’re citing we don’t need him because he hasn’t been healthy since the ASG, check out the White Sox record before and after the ASG. They need Rodon.

When he took the mound, Rodon was the best starting pitcher on the team this year, by far. Team is not the same without him. This is not like losing a position player. Totally different outlook for the playoffs without him. Fuck.

Rodon didn’t look great after that last pitch. The 89mph “blew-by-you.”

Now is the time for rest. He’s going to have to push through this in the postseason. Imagine Keuchel getting the start in a do or die playoff game because Rodon needs another day of rest.

Is Giolito confirmed as the starter tonight? They removed his start today for my fantasy team and White Sox site still says TBD.

Dude’s body is exhausted. Going to have to push through it, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get a decent amount of days off over the next few weeks. Especially after Leury’s HR today, and Engel on his way back. A healthy Vaughn is the bat we want in the playoffs. Having a threat like him in the lower third of the order is huge.

I am not worried at all, honestly. It would be nice to see them playing better right now, but they could also end up wasting a hot streak that could net them 11 wins in the postseason. I know that might sound like a dumb way to look at things, but oh well. They have the talent to beat anyone. They just need to make sure that talent is on the field once the postseason starts. Their play in September should have no effect on their play in October.

Keuchel gonna show them youngins how to win big games tonight. As long as everyone else on the team does exactly what he wants/expects.

I don’t think the MRI revealed anything crazy. He also didn’t have a sudden injury and have to get carried off the field. I’m guessing they are being ultra conservative with this. If he comes back and re-aggravates it, he’d be out of the playoffs with only a few regular season weeks left. Playoffs without TA would be the worst. I know you’re thinking the same, and that’s causing your unsettling feeling.

Rodon’s shoulder was a ticking time bomb. We just have to pray more rest is the remedy to get him a few healthy postseason starts.

Not good.

In Leury’s defense, Leury’s defense.
