White Sox (Cannon) vs Red Sox (Buehler): 4/21/25, 11:10am

[Brandon Glick]

Holy crap totally forgot the Red Sox play at 11am today... let's get a win here.

[Brandon Glick]

Didn't even get a screen grab of the pitching matchup... sorry everyone. Let's just grab a W!

[jad]

Might help to make contact with those fast balls right down the middle.

[mvp 78]

The Boston jerseys are preferable to the yellow ones at this point.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Don't worry, it's still early... (not even noon yet).

[Tedballgame]

Vaughn Grissom is hitting .350 in AAA and can play first base. Please bring him up and bench Casas.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

The Zebra ties it! Off a righty!!!

[Tedballgame]

Walker can't walk lead off man after the Red Sox tie it up. That's bad baseball.

[Tedballgame]

Throw strikes WALKER!!!!!!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Walker is just not a good name for a pitcher. 

It may even be worse than Meatball or Headhunter.

[Nick]

Refsnyder just needs to be in the line up. 

Mr. Cora....sometimes you have to screw the righty - lefty thing.

Right handed batters are used to facing right handed pitchers. Lot more than lefty facing lefty pitchers.

Gonzalez should play as well. Casas is simply worthless.

Nooooo -- have to compartmentalize every player, label them forever; no room for gray areas in the gray matter.

Here's the Story (of a man not named Brady)...

Kristian Campbell: At. Bat. Of. The. Year.

[Tedballgame]

Casas is sucking big time. First and second, one out and an easy out again.

 

 

[iortiz]

Man they just displayed Casas numbers LOL!

How much more is this sustainable?

I'm happy he didn't hit into a double play.

He should be batting 8th or 9th if anything. Putting him ahead others at this point is simply absurd. 

[Nick]

Let's not freak around today......got to pitch Whitlock 2 innings and Chapman to close.

[moonslav59]

Story is really looking like the player we hoped we got day one. His arm is still a big question, but I hope he can keep this going for a full season. He had a couple short stretches of great play in previous Sox seasons.

He could be the key to the 2025 season.

Stay healthy.......anything positive offensively is a plus.

[Nick]

That's 3 straight decent outing by Walker Buehler after 2 shaky starts.

As long as he can give us 90 pitches per start, I'm good with him.

[vegasbob]

So will Cora pull Buehler with 3 to go, as he did with Crochet and Houck ?   

Having a 4 run total , 3 run lead, vs the White Sox is a scary proposition this season.   

Why can't Boston add a couple right here ?

[Nick]

We got 7, 8 and 9 coming up. Throw damn strikes!!!

Wow, Buehler still in the game with 91 pitches.

[Nick]

7 innings, 100 pitches, 1 run given up....good game by Buehler

[vegasbob]

So Buehler gets to go the extra inning for a full 7 of very good pitching.      Maybe AC should have done that yesterday, though Houck isn't the pitcher Buehler is now.

Gotta give him credit, especially for changing his approach to curveballs: meet them, don't swing as-hard-as-you-can under them.

To me, the key guy might still be Bello, a young arm that should be able to go deep into games all summer, which will help preserve the bullpen for other days when more brittle oldsters get starts.

Story gets hurt and we have arguably the best SS prospect MLB-ready to step in. Bello gets hurt and we have openers in August...

[vegasbob]

This is what makes baseball interesting:

Red Sox send up 5 batters in the 7th, 3 LH'ers and 2 RH'ers vs White Sox lefty Gilbert.  All 3 Lh'ers K, 2 RH'ers get hits,  Sox strand 2. 

Then we get to watch Bobby Dalbec vs Chapman, our LH ace,  and se BD continue his major league string of K's.

But the White Sox LH hitter, Benintendi homers off  LH Chapman .    SMH

[vegasbob]

Telling you now, 4-2 isn't the final score in this one.
