    Not one they deserved to win either. Same old story, can’t hit with RISP. 1-8 today (Turner in the 9th) plus a sac fly. White Sox were 1-2.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Caleb Hamilton? David is still at shortstop.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Cora was never on the hook. It was obvious something was up with Paxton to have been pulled that early.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Four.
  5. illinoisredsox
    White Sox broadcast saying right knee soreness.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, the first part was. I look for what the pitcher is doing, what he’s throwing and where he putting it. Really, Lynn made one bad pitch today, to Casas. Even the walk to Devers had the look of either Rafael will get himself out or I’ll walk him. He should have been out of the inning on Arroyo. He was just really good today, commanded all of his pitches. almost nothing wasn’t on a edge or in a lot of cases, looked like a strike until the last partial second before dipping out of the zone ever so slightly. Ran out of gas.
  7. illinoisredsox
    One good thing; Devers doesn’t seem to be flailing at everything. He’s been a bit more patient today.
  8. illinoisredsox
    He’s mixing stuff up and putting the ball where he wants to with all 4 pitches. Let’s not pretend the Carmines are missing meatballs.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Major league hitter hits a homer. Time to keel over. Offense is doing nothing with the “washed up hack” Lynn, who, like Giolito last night, is pitching a really good game.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Which is fine, but what’s the deal today.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Of course not. Context escapes them. I don’t get to see many games, but I can this weekend via the ChiSox broadcast. One thing I’m seeing is he’s looks like he’s trying to pull everything. More worried about why Paxton is out so soon.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Wong looks very tired.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Winckowski warming up. Not a good sign with Paxton only at 63 pitches.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Huh? Paxton. 3IP, 2H, 1R, 0BB, 3K Lynn. 3IP, 2H, 1R, 0BB, 2K Looks pretty even to me

    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.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Just to throw a little perspective though, “washed up hack” Lynn struck out 16 Mariners over 7 innings last Sunday.
  18. illinoisredsox
    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.
  19. illinoisredsox
    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.
  20. illinoisredsox
    A bit shaky, but Walters did a nice job today and let the bullpen reset. 6 2/3 relief innings.
  21. illinoisredsox
    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.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Pitcher charged with an unearned run for the guy on second in extras.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Unfortunately, Walter’s going to have to eat some innings today.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Buxton is definitely out of his slump. 932 feet of homers today.
  25. illinoisredsox
    OTOH, if Ryan keeps pitching like this, it’s not going to matter who the Sox started or use today.
