Baron Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 We really need a second baseman. Too bad Hahn will be taking a nap during the deadline as he usually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio's most recent start before last night he dominated the best lineup in baseball. Some nights you aren't going to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins shrinks the strike zone dramatically when he's back there. Blame the umpires all you want, but framing will be a massive part of the game until there's an automated zone.

harkness99 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 i was telling my buddy who is also a white sox fan that this series would probably be very painful. and so far its just as i thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
