Previous Message| Going with "unexpected" for sure.

| agreed. this organization was historically bad just a few years ago.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I would say 1990 or 2000 were more unexpected and better.

Posted by Ari Gold
|
| 0-18 with 9 ks. you almost have to think about sitting him.*

| Already tied*

| Couldn’t even finish the 1st*

| Had no idea that Jose Quintana was a) still in the league, and b) on the Rockies*

| Not Sox related, but the video of Verlander’s daughter running to the mound….woo that got me*

|
| Agreed. Very cool*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Wow, that was great. Just saw it*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Hell yeah Royals*
Posted by AintHatin
|
| Then, garbage KC reliever Nate Pearson throws 9 balls in first 10 pitches*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Now, 12 balls in 13 pitches. Walks the bases loaded with 1 out. Nice job*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| 5 BB's in the inning so far. Brutal. Will be another 9th inning CLE win*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Now, 6 BB's in the inning; 13 in the game*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Dammit Royals*
Posted by AintHatin
|
| and, of course, they hit a meaningless 2 run hr in the bottom half. having said that, the sox

| I thought the Indians couldn't hit0

|
| well, they are playing the royals.*

| 7 runs scored in total for the series. Fuck CLE*

| ozzie had no idea who steve perry was and tried kicking him out of the clubhouse in anaheim. lol.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| The whole first team to get into the playoffs after 3 straight years of 100 losses is debatable
Posted by timmer
|
| Jeez. They are celebrating like they won it all
Posted by timmer
|
| they deserve it. mune is a party animal.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Would be nice to get a quality Sandlin start and save the pen a little*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Great game, Sandlin. Much needed*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Brazoban has looked sharp since his return. Much needed*
Posted by bjl63
|
| he's throwing strikes and his pitch count isnt bad
Posted by apusikam
|
| Not bad so far!*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
| first winning record against the division since 2005?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| 2021*
Posted by UIHuskie

| and they didn’t win a game in kc the last 2 seasons!*

| was that a good year?*

| just a small town girl…*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Luis Castillo to DL*
Posted by Poldark "Arsenal fans are the only ones that consistently behave like dicks to a rival fanbase."
|
| good. let's hope they can fix him in the offseason.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| yeah stuck with that contract. and I was OK with the trade
Posted by Poldark "Arsenal fans are the only ones that consistently behave like dicks to a rival fanbase."
|
| Nice start. Leave no doubt*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| yes. lfg!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Colson with a chance to break the MLB single season strikeout record today. Needs 2 more*
Posted by OB25
|
| that has to be the lock of all locks with 4 games to go.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Schwarber is only 4 behind*
Posted by bjl63
|
| i’ll take colson. the bat is swinging him at this point.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| There is #1*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| rangers are going to lose. win tomorrow and in.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Hudson's broken, hopefully newcomb is fixed
Posted by apusikam
|
| well, they earned that loss. ineffective opener and poor plate discipline with risp.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| cle loses and kc takes the lead*
Posted by apusikam
|
| almost on cue. lots of losing plays tonight.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| 3-2 get me over to the 4 hitter with 1st open and a lefty on deck?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| hes kind of a shitty 4 hitter
Posted by apusikam
|
| ozzie going in hard that he should’ve been walked.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| who’s now 3-3 with 3 rbi tonight.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| back to back bases loaded and no runs scored. woof.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| and lol at colson using our last challenge on a called 3rd strike in his 1st of 2ks.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Can we have the only team ever to qualify for the playoffs with three regular starters at…..
Posted by timmer
|
| i thought you were going to say 3 regular starting pitchers, but even that is questionable
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| red sox have 8 hits and 0 runs.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| M E T S, Mets Mets Mets*
Posted by timmer
|
| 2-0 thanks to soto. he’s good in these useless situations for his team.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| meidroth just swung at a 3-1 pitch that almost hit him with the bases loaded
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| More brutal was running on a one hopper to 1B. As I said below contact play never works*
Posted by bjl63
|
| meh. they still ended up with runners on 2nd and 3rd. benny has to get the ball airborne
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| He does but do not run until it gets thro
Posted by bjl63
|
| it didn’t end up making a difference in this situation.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I was like, “D’oh!” when he did that*
Posted by timmer
|
| Was it a strike? *
Posted by bjl63
|
| not even close.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Can someone please tell me the merits of the contact play?
Posted by bjl63
|
| it would’ve scored a run in the red sox game tonight.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| 4 spot*
Posted by Taz Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*
|
| Fire Venable*
Posted by Poldark "Arsenal fans are the only ones that consistently behave like dicks to a rival fanbase."
|
| nice opener too.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| as predicted, royals offense continues on from last night. alreaday down 3-0 in the 1st.*

| Don Cooper.....*

| Coop'll fix .... ah, shit.
Posted by AintHatin
|
| unreal. just a putrid back end of the pen. got all of the kc bats heated up for tomorrow.^
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| meh, didn't use any of the leverage guys
Posted by apusikam
|
| except taylor had to get up and throw in the pen in the 9th after castillo gave up the granny.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| why is richards still on this team?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Bee Bee Richard? Been retired for a long time....*
Posted by osklister
|
| CLE going to win another game in the 9th. Ugh*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| 6 in a row and the sox gift wrapped them the first 2. nobody but themselves to blame.*

|
| If only that CF botched the dive, Randall would’ve had the cycle*

| Michael Massey uodate

| I’m in a fantasy football league with his uncle*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Maybe I’m still haunted by Friday but I’m getting uneasy about this one*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Noah has eased my fears. Thank you.*
Posted by bjl63
|
| he’s looked really good since being called back up.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Likewise*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
| Pink Floyd Randall Grichick. Interesting career.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| good that they’ve given kc no life. huge catch by grichuk in the 1st.
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| 7 game hit streak for Doyle. Good time to get hot*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Red Sox playing like a team satisfied with a wild card spot
Posted by timmer
|
| i can’t believe you didn’t bet the house on the guardians tonight.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| The house was already mortgaged on a 2-leg parlay on Mune&Colson KOs
Posted by timmer
|
| Lost the house on a Mune shattered left elbow
Posted by timmer
|
| Long-ass day but a big win
Posted by AintHatin
|
| curious decision to take martin out after 4 1/3 with 70 pitches and nobody on base
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Martin had an issue with his calf.
Posted by AintHatin
|
| and that flared up after he struck somebody out and nobody on base in the 5th?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| and key bullpen guys not used and a day off*
Posted by apusikam
|
| CLE is on the road the rest of the season. Need to hope they lose a few*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Nice rebound after Friday*
Posted by bjl63
|
| OAK puts up 2 on CLE in top of 1. CLE then scores 5, without an out, in the bottom half
Posted by UofIL6
|
| They are a terrible offense too. The juju is off the charts
Posted by bjl63
|
| Good bounce back. Now do it again tomorrow*
Posted by bjl63
|
| so with a real starter going, lets optimistically assume he goes 6 and we are up a run or 2
Posted by apusikam
|
| hea gonna need to go 7 and not walk or hit the bottom of the order*
Posted by apusikam
|
| The thing is, this is not just a Sox problem it’s a baseball problem
Posted by bjl63
|
| but we have overused the leverage guys
Posted by apusikam
|
| And if Taylor and Hagen become starters then it’ll be even more of a problem
Posted by bjl63
|
| But Sox starters sans Burke are average at best. Need to acquire 2 this winter*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Wait, did the new guy take over from Chairman Jerry? *
Posted by osklister
|
| 6-13 in their last 19. That'll put a damper on the season quickly*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| :-( Was hoping we'd keep the Central.
Posted by osklister
|
| Allowed 6 hits to their 8-9 hitters. Plus an 0-2 HBP*
Posted by bjl63
|
| only had two baserunners after the 3d inning*
Posted by apusikam
|
| LOL. The axles are falling off the bus now*
Posted by timmer
|
| That’s all she wrote tonight. Horrendous game*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Bullpen so cooked*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| maybe if they expand the rosters to 30*
Posted by Sammich
|
| Get to 2 strikes and can’t finish the job*
Posted by bjl63
|
| they are all either cooked or bad
Posted by apusikam
|
| yep. tale of 2 teams at this point.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| They've burned the bullpen out. It has to cover 5+ innings nearly every night*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
| That walk is the winning run for DET. Lockitup*
Posted by bjl63
|
| What a disaster. Stop give them free bases*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Of course*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| whens the last time we scored with the lead after the fourth or fifth inning?*
Posted by apusikam
|
| Thank you, Braden. Holy cow*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Even more impressive on the replay*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| hicks can’t finish another inning.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| good stuff and apparently no out pitch
Posted by apusikam
|
| Ugh, Chris Murphy*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| terrible.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| CLE was down 3-0 early, but like every other game in the past month, now have the lead late*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Smith has the goods*
Posted by timmer
|
| indeed.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Sox chase Sears with 2 out in the 1st. Up 5-1
Posted by timmer
|
| and then give 3 of it back by leaving sandlin out there.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| hagen should’ve been brought in a batter sooner, but did another great job.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| kind of a lucky win, but we’ll take it.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Needed all that luck tonight. Please can we get a blowout W tomorrow?*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| i dont know who gets you 27 outs tomorrow*
Posted by apusikam
|
| sandlin looked good last time out. schultz, smith, and newcomb? and hudson only threw
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Thank you, Miguel*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Si*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
| wtf?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Terrible decision*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| taylor back out
Posted by apusikam
|
| terrible.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| They should fine our relievers for every walk issued*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
| youve overworked the shit of these guys
Posted by apusikam
|
| They have thrown a ton of innings*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
| Man on third again with less than two outs and we can't bring him home. SIFUABS!!*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
| Doyle should have bunted*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
| You should almost never bunt
Posted by bjl63
|
| we love to strike out with runner on 3 and 1 out*
Posted by apusikam
|
| They work on it in spring training*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
| mune with his first triple!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Have the lucky horseshoe tonight, because play hasn't been great (save for Grichuk defense)*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| survived another really shitty walk in a leverage situation*
Posted by apusikam
|
| with a coin flip review.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| hicks cant get through an inning
Posted by apusikam
|
| nope. too wild.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Going Doyle->Rogers->Acuna->Braden is not ideal*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| nothing like a high leverage spot on the 5th
Posted by apusikam
|
| at least he looked good. dodged some bullets with fedde getting hit so hard.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| I had no idea the winner of the AL Central is in line for a bye. Crazy.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| American League has become the LeBron-era Eastern Conference.*
Posted by OB25
|
| I feel bad for Tampa. They should demand to move to the AL Central
Posted by timmer
|
| I feel bad for Detroit. 12 games worse than their pythag record
Posted by Sammich
|
| I feel bad for Detroit-ers, because they have to live in Detroit. *
Posted by osklister
|
| i heard this morning the montgomerys and mune have the 3 lowest ba in mlb
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| And top two in SO%
Posted by timmer
|
| With Mune and CM top two in SO%
Posted by timmer
|
| Colson is a lefty Mark Reynolds with slightly more defensive value
Posted by Sammich
|
| Colson is a tough one. Offensively he probably has no reason to be in the show right now
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| I’ll give Braden a pass as he was in AA to start the year. I groan anytime Colson is up w RISP
Posted by bjl63
|
| Colson: kickin' azz and takin' names from All-Star break '25 to AS break '26.
Posted by osklister And since July 4th this year.... kinda blah. :-/
|
| it seems like the montgomerys are always up with risp

| Well the only White Sox world series of my time occurred after one of the

|
| meh. they were over .500 in august and september combined. the issue was cleveland got white hot.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| well they did til they didnt
Posted by apusikam
|
| That team featured a dominant starting rotation
Posted by OrangeSox
|
| the Sox bullpen pitched 2/3 of an inning in that ALCS
Posted by Sammich
|
| It was unreal*
Posted by cpsteine
|
| Pre-playoff 2005, Sporting News had us with the longest odds out there.
Posted by osklister
|
| this bullpen is cooked
Posted by apusikam
|
| Shoulda kept Siranthony. :-((
Posted by osklister
|
| I’m going to mark this inning as the moment the wheels fell off the bus*
Posted by timmer
|
| not being swept by the Pirates?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
| yep. tires have been leaking since the trade deadline and last night they blew up.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Welp*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Walk a dude hitting under .200, Walk the backup C, give up bomb to .213 hitter*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Lol, Halpin entered today 1-for-35 off LHP*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| i wonder if he was ever up 3-0 with 2 runners on and got a grooved 94 mph sinker in any
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| par for the course.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Nice move yanking Smith
Posted by timmer
|
| not to mention newcomb has nothing today. hr, single and bb.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| now add a double. lofl.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| especially since he's got swing and miss stuff.*

|
| X-ray on Colson Montgomery's wrist negative. day to day*
Posted by Poldark "Arsenal fans are the only ones that consistently behave like dicks to a rival fanbase."

| Genius move = Tommy Pham. LOL*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| one bizarre thing after another. let’s hope they can hold on this time.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Noah Schultz in bullpen?*
Posted by Poldark "Arsenal fans are the only ones that consistently behave like dicks to a rival fanbase."
|
| he looked good!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Genius move playing Pham*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| and now acuna is up with the bases loaded, 2 outs, and swings at the first 2 pitches out of the zone
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| unreal. meidroth drops the ball on a tag and acuna isn’t tall enough to catch a liner just over
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Terrible error leads to 2 runs, of course*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| i was withholding judgement until this series, but it seems like they’ve just come undone
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Of course, runner at 3rd with 1 out....can't score him*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Clean up hitter in your biggest game of the season---Tommy Pham! Really?*
Posted by illini222
|
| Glad I inspired him*
Posted by illini222
|
| that wasnt even close to the warning track
Posted by apusikam
|
| Kay v. Messick tomorrow isn't ideal*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| and this 2 inning save thing isn’t a long term answer either.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| no its not
Posted by apusikam
|
| I still go back to Murphy used as the opener. Gross*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| that wasn’t ideal, especially since he sucked the last they tried it with him against cle.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Rocchio is this generation’s Nick Punto*
Posted by bjl63
|
| that fucking walk to the weak hitting catcher
Posted by apusikam
|
| yep.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| and that looked like a routine fly
Posted by apusikam
|
| Playing shallow to play for the tie on a single?*
Posted by bjl63
|
| freddy garcia and ozzie guillen jr thought the same thing
Posted by apusikam
|
| i think so, but why not peters in lf?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Who’d play CF? Doyle was removed from the game already*
Posted by bjl63
|
| i forgot about that. why weaken yourself defensively, especially with the lead
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Yep, bc there is a 2B playing LF. Awful*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Can’t walk the #7 hitter*
Posted by bjl63
|
| JFC*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Finally some clutch hitting. Close this one out, boys*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| i am shocked, just shocked.

|
| the opener has usually worked
Posted by apusikam
|
| Wanna make a lot of money?
Posted by timmer
|
| Urquidy optioned, Schultz recalled*
Posted by AintHatin
|
| Think I'd rather have Drew Thorpe if you need a starter. Schultz in the pen may be fine, but
Posted by UofIL6
|
| And, they should just bring up Thorpe and launch Chris Murphy into space*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| why him tonight
Posted by apusikam
|
| Agreed*
Posted by illini222
|
| There was something missing with him. He had no wipeout pitch nor special velo
Posted by bjl63
|
| 100 percent agree.
Posted by AintHatin
|
| big win. have the tiebreaker now as well.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Guardians also lost which is good
Posted by timmer
|
| ffs. the defense is just begging them to get back in the game.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| on cue to start the 9th as well.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| bjl, can we get a mea culpa on hagen?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| He’s been great but I’d still rather they drafted differently
Posted by bjl63
|
| JFC, Colson*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| awful. little league shit there.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| And, now Burke has to throw a bunch more pitches*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| whew.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Bats finally come alive*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| (Mune exception)*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| why is grichuk being sent there?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| should’ve been a 3 run bomb, but we’ll take that too!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Amazing what happens when you hit the baseball*
Posted by bjl63
|
| pretty lucky set of circumstances, but we’ll take it.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| what an ab for peters. 18 pitch walk!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Maybe that AB unlocked these guys*
Posted by bjl63
|
| and then breaks up a potential dp with his noggin to score a run!*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| this just in: teel is still way overrated.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| prove me wrong, please.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| nice.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| 0 for forever with RISP*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| at what point do you need to start bunting again?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| b monty made an awful attempt at one and then ks. terrible.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| and the leadoff walk to start the bottom half. brutal.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Dreadful ABs*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Another Mune strikeout. Bench him. Also…
Posted by timmer
|
| He is good. Why is benetendi honoring Trump with the helmet ear tape?*
Posted by Toonces
|
| at striking out? he’s been brutal since the hammy.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| He’s good though. Have to ride him every day.*
Posted by Toonces

| Mine’s KO rate is just over 35%
Posted by timmer
|
| 3 UER in a 3-1 loss. Gross*

| another day another guy fails to score from 3d with less than 2 out

| More garbage from Castillo. Trade deadline pretty much a disaster*

| White Sox acquiring Huascar Brazoban for Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider

| I was gonna say this feels light for Brazoban (even as a reliever) with 3+ years of control

| Yeah, he couldn't put any weight on it.

Posted by bjl63

| He really wasn’t that great this year so I could see teams souring on him, but…
Posted by OB25
|
| I mean, he was pretty great, just not a huge step up from last year*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| The Big Ten is also a really bad league so his numbers get graded on a curve*
Posted by OB25
|
| Really bad is a bit of a stretch. It runs the gamut and the bottom is pretty weak
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| The Sox liked Roch when he was in HS
Posted by bjl63
|
| Seems like it’s been trending towards Emerson since May.
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
| Just no Lackey. Too much risk with Catchers. Prefer Roch, but Emerson is fine*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Just a feeling, but I think Rock UCLA is giving off vibes to the scouts saying "no" to the Sox. JMHO
Posted by osklister

| I don't believe that at all. Buster Posey propaganda*
Posted by bjl63
|
| To restart this with another variable: Rock & the infielder have the same agent: catcher does not.
