Roll that Stone Away for the Sweep! 420, 1:35 vs White Sox

[jad]

Once the Devil Rays, of course, but that was long before this WeekEnd.

Holy smoke!  We're actually playing the White Sox and it's the third of a four game series.  But far be it from me to mess with the mojo man of the moment.

Oops.  Remind me not to get too caught up in holiday celebrations quite so early in the morning!

For a guy like Luis Robert? Yeah, probably. The other guys are all pretty much kids and making a name for themselves so I’m sure they’re happy that they have a shot in MLB.

Benintendi is exception but he’s also getting paid a lot to be a mentor or whatever White Sox want him to do.

Would be nice if houck pitched a nice game for once. 

[moonslav59]

I'm a big Cora supporter, but I do have issues with him giving hot players a day off. We just had a day off on Thursday, and Story has a .984 April OPS.

Now, watch DHam come to life.

Beats the heck out of being a minor league player.

I’d do it for $750K a year

[mvp 78]

Houck start should be fun. 

[Jasonbay44]

Is Houck serious? 

[Tedballgame]

Houck sucks again today!!!

That’s not happening 

[Jasonbay44]

I don’t know what’s more embarrassing, the White Sox hitting a backup catcher cleanup or that Houck gave up a bomb to him

[vegasbob]

ChiSox lineup features 4 guys hitting below .150, and 1 guy hitting below .100.  

Yet Houck finds himself trailing by 2 runs, worsening his over 9. ERA after 1.  2 out walks with no one on base, Tanner.   Get your head in the game.  

Now the HR was wind aided but no excuse.

[vegasbob]

Raffy with a hustle double ?  Very impressed .

Duran has got to find a way on base in the first. I know he's trying but it is a game changer when he does

[mvp 78]

WheelYER!!!

[moonslav59]

Abreu is buttah!

[Jasonbay44]

Abreu is having an awesome year

 

thanks White Sox for the two errors 

[vegasbob]

Wind works both ways..  Wilyer "Windy HR" Abreu covers the bet

[vegasbob]

Casas hits the same ball that won yesterday's game but the same wind that carried two out to RF slows his down., heading to LF

[moonslav59]

This could be a 16-12 game.

Good to see Casas going oppo, when they pitch to him like that.

[d-money]

Houck’s pitching is a problem. 

[Jasonbay44]

Hard hit balls this inning. Hamilton line out, sabol double and Duran ripped a single.

Counterpoint: a big chunk of that OPS came from the 2 HRs off lefty pitchers Friday night.  He's hitting .739 against RHP, 1.467 against LHP.

And inning needs with a hard Abreu out. 

[Jasonbay44]

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about opposing teams players upbringing? Like cool, they’re from Massachusetts, do we really need background stories and interviews with the family members for these guys??
