    Looked to me that they were sitting on his change-up; with the exception of Verdugo's single, I think all of those hits were off of high change ups.. The change-ups thrown by the previous Pale Hose pitchers all weekend were down and disappeared at the last second; the one's thrown by Giolito were up and did nothing except say hit me. Now he (or the catcher) may well have been tipping them; I don't know. But the ones he was throwing were not good ones.

    Steve Stone on the White Sox broadcast quipped “yeah, if it was 39, it wouldn’t have made it”.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Stolen base helped him; Dalbec’s rocket isn’t a DP without it.

    White Sox have a bunch of guys who are old school make contact types. It’s refreshing to see. I’m stuck with the Chicago broadcast; when Eovaldi struck out Madrigal, they said it was only the second time he had struck out all year and even more impressive, it was only the second swing and miss he had had all year (and as a foul tip, it wasn’t even a clean swing and miss).
  5. illinoisredsox
    Another effing infield hit; how many of these are they going to get this series?
  6. illinoisredsox
    Why TF do you swing at that pitch on 3-0? Dumb, although I doubt it will make any difference.
  7. illinoisredsox
    How many infield hits is that for Chicago today? They had a couple in the first game IIRC and at least a couple in this one as well.
  8. illinoisredsox
    That’s 3 today for him.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Get the feeling this team is going to be really streaky this year?
  10. illinoisredsox
    Time for a JD special
  11. illinoisredsox
    Well, no perfect game for the Pale Hose.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Perez should sue his defense; it has been pathetic. Should be a 1-0 game, maybe 2-0.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Horrible break there; that’s likely a DP if it doesn’t hit Houck.
  14. illinoisredsox
    That would have really been the only time, and it really didn’t end up hurting them thanks to Verdugo. If he used him in the ninth for Renfroe or Cordero, all the Twins would have done is held up 4 fingers, so that that would have been wasted.
  15. illinoisredsox
    So you won’t say when you would have used him?
  16. illinoisredsox
    I assume you’re talking about JD. When would you have used him?
  17. illinoisredsox
    I don’t think the Twins did yesterday; there was only 1/2 hour between games. But yeah, separate admissions have become the overwhelming norm; those should absolutely be 9 inning games.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Clemens first 20 K game was against Seattle; he did it again against Detroit a decade or so later.
  19. illinoisredsox
    I think I read this was the second time this year she had struck out 21 in a game; the earlier game was not as perfect though, as she walked a couple and allowed 5 hits and a couple runs.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Agree with almost all of these: Comments: #4 I can live with 7 inning doubleheader games so long as they are the traditional 2 for the price of 1 (fans are getting 14 innings of baseball if they stay for both). If clubs opt for separate admissions, both games should be 9 innings. #5, I thought they changed the rule last year (or was it the year before) to mandate that the September roster would be 28 players (no more, no less). I would add to the rule and say you still have to designate 26 for a particular game. Moving the mound back will increase offense and lengthen games. High School softball did this a decade or so ago; this area used to have state title contenders every year so it got a lot of local coverage; seemed like once you got to the state level, games would often be 1-0 in 18 innings. They moved the pitcher back 3 feet and the offenses took over.

    Carlos Rodon tossed the 20th no-hitter in White Sox history last night vs. the Guardians. A ninth inning HBP prevented a perfect game. I assume he will be on the hill for Chicago on Patriots Day.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Because once the White Sox added him to their 40 man roster when they called him up in August 2010, he was never sent to the minors again. He never burned even one option year (technically, he has 3 remaining). Any time spent in the minors before you are added to the 40 man are not option years. Any years you spend in the minors after you are added do. There is another provision though, once you have 5 years in the big leagues, you can’t be sent down without your permission. So while Sale has 3 options remaining, they are meaningless. Ditto a guy like Bogaerts.
  23. illinoisredsox
    You burn an option every year you are sent down after being placed on the 40 man roster. You don’t have to be called up to the big club for that to kick in. Teams will generally wait to put youngsters on the 40 man until they are ready to call them up for the first time.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Did the Sox win any of these last year? Seems like they lost every one of them.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Of course, if the ground ball doesn't hit 2nd base, it's a DP and Andriese pitches 3 scoreless.
