White Sox (Martin) vs Red Sox (Sandoval): 8/4/26, 7:10pm

[moonslav59]

Is Sandoval the new Giolito?

[FredLynn]

Gotta throw strikes 

[Tedballgame]

Sandoval isn't going past 5 innings if he makes it that far.

[Tedballgame]

Absolutely, cannot blow a six to nothing lead

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Crochet comes back, Sandoval becomes the 6th starter.

[Tedballgame]

Bullpen  had better be up

Again, he reminds me too much of Paxton.

[Tedballgame]

Whew!!!

[mvp 78]

Stick a fork in Sandoval for tonight

[vegasbob]

White Sox with no challenges and Sandoval struggles with the .100 hitting #9 batter   , but prevails.

If he is still on the team, he will be a long reliever I think, if and when Crochet comes back.

'IF' being the key word.

[Tedballgame]

Remember Tristin Casas? His leg is fine now. In April he strained his abdomen and went on 60 day IL. Then in June, he hurts his wrist and is back on the 60 day IL. The guy will not be back this season, if ever.

Maybe not.

Tolle and Bennett need limits on IP, so maybe the pen might be best for one of them.

How about Tolle and Bennett as openers with Crochet and Bello going 4-5 IP every 5 days..

Man you guys are pretty tough on a guy with a 2.74 ERA.

He’ll be back. It’s the way things have been going. 
Where does Story fit in?

 

[Tedballgame]

Franklin Arias up to .281 at AAA. Hits his first two times up tonight. Next year's SS.

[Bailey_Fox]

I’d like to see some more runs here, just prove that the first inning wasn’t a fluke.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The White Sox starter doing a pretty good impersonation of Bello.

He will be at ST , if there is one. to see if he has anything to contribute. 

If Willson is alive and depending on Yoshi and Duran outcomes over winter, Tristan has about a 5% chance at DH. Do recall he is a proven slow starter, I tend to see him at Worcester. He is the new Dalbec

[FredLynn]

I hope someone is warming up

I thought Story would be our SS for the next five years 😬

[FredLynn]

Crochet is throwing and Anthony is hitting off a machine having progressed from hitting off a tee

[moonslav59]

6th inning and Wong is the only Sox batter hitless.

[Bailey_Fox]

WILYER with some insurance!

He definitely never made any Short Stops to the IL.
