Gio only ended up giving up one run 

And would have lasted longer but for the 2 errors by Story and one rotten call by the ump,.

Another K for Duran.  He has 3 and the rest of the team 6. 

[d-money]

White sox about to hand the game to the Yankees in the 9th. What a miserable franchise.

You can flip a coin on trading Duran vs Abreu.    There are some peripheral matters like age and cost that favor Abreu  but both have trouble with LH pitching

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm not sure there's a top and bottom to the Sox lineup. It's a crap shoot lineup where anyone can provide the big hit. Except maybe Wong.

Why do you hate Cedanne so much? He is going to win a gold golve this year, he can play multiple positions, he is young, has a very team favorable contract and is an improving hitter. Better get used to him being the center fielder for the next 8-10 years.

I don’t hate Cedanne. I hate the way he plays with a bat in his hands. He has zero plate discipline and at times looks silly at the plate. The only time he can hit the baseball is if the pitcher makes a mistake. His OPS is under.700.

Next question

Maybe he'll get hot in the PO's.

Maybe.

Meanwhile, Chapman in for the 9th with a 4-1 lead and an always dangerous Jays lineup.

Cora should bench him and Breslow DFA him

Why do you really hate Rafaela?

[d-money]

Yankees just tied the game on a wild pitch. The white sox are a joke. Two outs well. 

[vegasbob]

10 pitch AB ? 

Nice play by crummy SS

I object to your present tense because it simply isn't always true and certainly not lately.  Also, if memory serves, Anthony was especially good at being patient and nailing mistakes.  So was the splendid splinter.  Yogi, on the other hand, would swing at almost anything, but he usually could hit it.  

Tonight Duran has assumed the "silly at the plate" role.  

[Nineintime]

nice play by Story!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Very good D by Story.

Feel free to object. But I’m right

Rafaela isn’t Yogi

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

George Springer. Sounds like a name from Green Acres.

[Maxbialystock]

Unbelievable game!!!!

Drinks are on me.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

BIG WIN!

[d-money]

That was an incredible win tonight. The bullpen was amazing!!!

Nobody like Yogi.  A little guy who played huge, including catching Don Larsen's perfect game in a World Series.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The best and most consistent part of this team has been the BP.

Especially Whitlock and Chapman. They've both been excellent.
