Wildcard Round

Witt is unreal.

.388 average with risp who does that?

Fastest player, best infield arm or close...the very definition of a franchise player.

Took you that long?

I thought the Sox of 2021 ever better than 93 wins.

I thought that it might have been Kimbrel, or Lynn shitting the bed, or Opening Day against the tigers when Gio got hurt and Pollock bobbled an easy win.

But nah, it was this.

I hope the Tiger spend some money next season.

The Sox and Twins will be the armpitomy of cheap ass organizations. 

At least they spent on Correa Buxton and have Royce Lewis.

 

Ofc Hinch and Quatraro will finish 1-2 MoY whereas the Sox somehow picked perhaps the worst manager in MLB history.  Just unreal.

Grifol famously rejected by his own organization for an outsider from TB.

Three Central teams in the ALDS. What a time to be alive!

(yes, I know it’s not over)

They aren’t great teams that are on the verge of going 4-0 (on the road mind you) in the wild card round. What does that say about their opponents then?

That anything (as always) can happen in a short series.

[caulfield12]

1/13 with runners on base 

Former Sox farm hand Sam Long gets it done  two consecutive days on the road.

Baltimore 5000 fans less than capacity...pretty embarrassing not to sell out except for Yankees' games.

The White Sox did their part to make it happen.

What a brutal effort by the Orioles offense 

[almagest]

We all told Orioles fans to be careful assuming they were at the top of the AL in the offseason. I wonder how they feel now, after they won 10 less games than last year and got swept in the WC round by a team that lost 106 games last year.

[Tnetennba]

HA HA!

How’s that prospect hugging going for you Orioles?

Looks like being cheap doesn't pay Elias.

BAL swept two years in a row.

The worst part (for him) is his strategy of only drafting position players was their biggest weakness in this series, scoring just 1 run in 2 games.

Meh. I didn’t think the Orioles were any good personally.

[flavum]

5 of 15 and the one game knockout was better. I’m just saying. 

[WestEddy]

Eloy says the Orioles were short a bat. 

[PaleAleSox]

Been less successful than the Sox thus far.

For all the nut hugging of Elias last winter, his teams have 0 playoff wins to Hahn’s 2 with the Sox. Just sayin’

[caulfield12]

Brewers looking like NL version of Baltimore....Mets simply a buzzsaw right now.

[Bob Sacamano]

Kinda crazy how bad the Sox were affected the playoff picture. If they were a somewhat competent org (or just at all), Seattle and Boston probably make it over Detroit and Royals. 
 

Regardless, both those teams about to get whooped.

Royals last three playoff appearances ended in WS, 1985 2014 2015.

That takes the White Sox all the way back to 1917-1919 lol.

 

And I wouldn't discount the Tigers at all continuing their run against a Guardians' team where the main point is simply containing Jose Ramirez.

[caulfield12]

Joe Musgrove wearing #44 for Jake Peavy lol.

Cease would be starting G3 in his home state of GA or in LA on Sat Gm1.

So much for the all the talk of a terrible Central division, Baltimore acting like the Sox playoff baseball performance.

At least the Sox could steal a game.
