    Everyone’s hurt. Let’s just agree to stop the game here and give the W to whoever is leading currently.

    Don’t think it happened but the narrative behind “he hurt himself trying to throw at the ump to scare him” is beautiful.

    Feel like 9 is the target number for a W.

    So Hoffman to close it? I think he’s all that’s left unless someone from game 1 comes back. We need 2 more runs.

    White Sox bring up their top prospect and he immediately takes a walk

    Didn't know rookies could do that

    Did some juggsian, league leading 23 caught stealing and lowers the percent to a league low 68%.

    Since Q started only A’s and MIA get screwed more. Umps always have and always will dick over small market teams.

    Was looking at that Tuchman fellow before the game. OF and leftie. 1.024 OPS. One year deal. But only 18 games, looks to platoon.

    They need to change the order so Jac isn't leading off every other AB. I love Salvy but God damn he is cold on non-doubleheader days

    It’s the worst case scenario for a brand new power hitter. No RBI potential and they can throw him literally whatever they want

    I'd rather him bat 7 or 8 than behind Salvy at this point
