This minor league team will get swept. If they win one game then the white sox are really bad.

only a Sith deals in absolutes.

This will be my first Sox game of the season. I went to the Cubs last Thursday but that was a sitdown game. I hope my leg can hold up.

Why the fuck would MLB put an off day on a Friday. Unreal.

Boog's been pushing Wisdom's value lately. Even mistakenly calling him a 340s obp guy.
Reminiscent of Ken Phelps, Ken Phelps.

Ian Happ

did JD die and I was not told? Why was that fucker Dempster in the booth with Boog all week?



Yes Bob I noticed that too. When was the last time the Cubs were off on a Friday.

Keuchel DFA.

Yas on 2nd…2 outs, running on contact, slow grounder through the hole…gets thrown out by 45 feet.

He sucks at defense, isn’t walking, can’t hit, can’t run…he’s Cuban Keuchel.

I've always hated AJ...but his analyst work tonight has been top notched

AJ/Kasper would be a nice booth to replace Benetti/Stone.

Bases loaded and Wisdom up.

Need some runs here or the bullpen may blow the game.

Pitching's been really good thus far.

AJ not happy that Cueto faced Happ and Wisdom.

This Sox team is bordering on unlikeable.

‘04 Cubs vibes.

Seems Kaspar wants no part of AJ's critical Sox opinions.

Has Kasper ever shown an ability to be critical of anything?

It will be interesting when Heyward comes off IL. If he one of the worst hitters in MLB has any impact on Morel's playing time or positioning. Morel is hitting 235 playing INF, 353 CF. Remarkable that during Heyward's Cub stint this is the only time a teammate pushed him being on a hot streak playing his same position.

Sox have to be ecstatic Keuchel has a 1.5 mil buyout next year.

AJ really was entertaining going after Tony's lineups, and the Sox underachieving so far. Odd but funny pairing with vanilla Len

I do find it amusing the analytics crowd are among the same people that say lineup construction and managers don't matter yet they are obsessed with LaRussa getting fired. Classic example of where politics and sports shouldn't mix

It's likely that Suzuki will go on the IL, but they still need a 40-man move to bring Heyward back off the COVID IL. They'll need another one to bring Bote back off the 60-day.

Adrian Sampson got DFA by the Mariners, I could see the Cubs bringing him back on a minor league deal for depth, and then DFAing someone like Leiter to bring Heyward back.

I can see them really needing Bote because they don’t have enough guys who hit .225 and play shit defense already .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

I think Bote will stay at Iowa until Villar gets traded at the deadline. But they have to bring him back into the 40-man in order to option him.

Marquee mic'd Cubs third base coach Willie Harris during the game. Really interesting and enjoyable. Wisdom on second gave him a sign that he thought he could steal third. Harris communicated with Ross. Ross gave the red light.

Anderson pulled vag.

I think LaRussa could have challenged that out at third on the bunt.

Stroman and Simmons some nifty glove work.

Would they like Simmons? Cubs need to open up a 40-man spot and Simmons is still better than Mendick.

this has been a good game to watch. team has shown some life. it's going to be this kind of year. at times playing good ball and at times looking like shit.

why not pulling stroman here? he's done.

added-

whoever this mcguire guy is he did stroman a favor swinging at 3 pitches all out of the strikezone

great defense by the cubs today

Robertson blows it.
1-1, extras
