    Here’s an odd K stat for you: Last night was the 7th time this year White Sox pitchers have struck out at least 14 hitters in a game. They are 0-7 in those games. (Courtesy of the White Sox TV crew)

    Great play by Berger; took away a likely triple from Duran.

    Just to throw a little perspective though, “washed up hack” Lynn struck out 16 Mariners over 7 innings last Sunday.

    The Sox aren’t a bad defensive team because they don’t make great plays. They are a bad defensive team because they don’t make enough routine plays. They don’t turn a DP for some reason. Throw to the wrong base and give up an extra base. Stuff like that. Stuff that doesn’t even show up in the box score as an error Those championship teams didn’t make those mistakes. They made the routine plays.

    Ryan was utterly dominant. Just have to tip you cap to him and move on. Today wasn’t that painful; Twins had the advantage. Yesterday was the disappointment.
  6. illinoisredsox
    A bit shaky, but Walters did a nice job today and let the bullpen reset. 6 2/3 relief innings.

    Defense helps pitching. They go hand in hand. A guy like Bello is going to give up a lot of ground balls. He needs guys to make plays behind him. Also, the more plays that aren’t made, the more pitches have to be thrown, which means less innings get thrown. The more pitchers you have to use on a given day, the more likely it is one of them won’t have it. You can’t count on 6 runs a game. You should be able to count on good defense. You may not win a game on defense, but you can lose one. Flemming wasn’t saying defense was the key to winning, he’s saying the Sox win when they play good defense. Correlation is not causation.

    Pitcher charged with an unearned run for the guy on second in extras.

    Unfortunately, Walter’s going to have to eat some innings today.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Buxton is definitely out of his slump. 932 feet of homers today.
  11. illinoisredsox
    OTOH, if Ryan keeps pitching like this, it’s not going to matter who the Sox started or use today.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Raffy probably should have had the lead off hit as well; not an easy play but one he needs to make.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Wil Flemming was just asked the question on the radio: When do the Sox win? Is it when they hit? Pitch? Play defense? His opinion was door #3, defense.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Defense has done the Sox pitching no favors this inning. Kluber’s 8th and 9th on Tuesday woke up the Twins bats.
  15. illinoisredsox
    To be fair, who could pitch anything like Martinez?
  16. illinoisredsox
    Per the radio crew, the Sox have obtained Tayler Scott from the Dodgers for cash (Scott was recently DFA’d). This is a real dumpster dive. Scott’s season and career numbers make Ort look like a Cy Young candidate.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, but he sucked as a second baseman defensively. He hasn't even played second base, at least at the major league level, since 2017. He even said on the Sunday night game when they had him micd up that it was an experiment that didn't go well when the Yankees tried to convert him.
  18. illinoisredsox
    No idea, but I’m sure he has data on how well Kenley fares when he goes multiple innings.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Who would you have used, knowing at the very least you have to get 6 outs to win the game? Sox failed x multiple times to score guys from 3rd and couldn’t even advance Verdugo from 2nd in the top of the 10th. That’s where the game was lost.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Pretty hard to keep a team from scoring from second when you know you only need 1 run.
  21. illinoisredsox
    He’s a good bunter.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Why does Arroyo not cover first there? Stupid alignment when they know Taylor’s going to bunt.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Radio guys just said McGuire left the game with a right oblique strain. That’s not usually a quick heal.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Gee, that hurt.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Well, that didn’t age well.
