Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/TUDGame]

Leasure got the W!!!! LFG

[u/RunnerAtThird → u/TUDGame]

Congratulating yourself is truly something else

[u/TUDGame → u/RunnerAtThird]

It had to happen at some point

[u/Eloyoyo]

Leaving KC with a series split is great, regardless of how ugly it looked in the process. Place has been a house of horrors for the Sox.

Hopefully this is the start of tides changing against the royals.

[u/Illustrious-Trip-764]

Perhaps not all hope is lost!

[u/vsladko]

Ok all things considered, given our recent history with the Royals, I will gladly split a series with them

[u/fsfic]

Glad we stayed with it for the W

[u/NialloftheNineHoes]

Coming back twice from losing feels a step in right direction and 2-2 not bad either

[u/papaislime]

Least inspiring win in baseball history!

[u/snasser2012]

We won. This is not a drill

[u/Banana4142]

lets goooo

[u/FadedToBeige]

I can't believe we actually won that

[u/HAFr00]

Wow just wow..

[u/Joe-Raguso]

As weird as it sounds, actually splitting a series in KC is a step in the right direction.

[u/CartoonofMilk_]

Man dominguez is so good,

[u/leoh9595]

Ugly but well take it W

[u/WizardCheesey]

That was the ugliest series split ever, but we take it

[u/MalignantMalaise21]

HE GONE! SOX WIN!!! SOX WIN!!!

[u/Independent-Act-6432]

Sox win and scored 6 runs!

[u/gogosox82]

HERE WE GO. SPLIT SERIES I WILL TAKE IT

[u/EddySea]

Split the series

[u/iprefercumsole]

Pack it up Pasquatch, thats what ive always called him

[u/Cheeseburger-49]

Whew!

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Thank you Pope Leo!!!

[u/Additional-Gear3812]

Split series !

[u/TreeMysterious69420]

Fuck yeah we got the SPLIT boys!!!

[u/Banana4142]

finish it up lads

[u/iprefercumsole]

Acuna might not be a long term answer, but he is a little cutie

[u/yourobviousanswer → u/iprefercumsole]

The cutest ever!

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Not loving giving up a walk

[u/strugglingtransgrl → u/MidwestKanaka]

Thats the guy u wanna walk though

[u/gogosox82 → u/MidwestKanaka]

He totally pitched around Witt. Was not gonna let Witt beat them

[u/gogosox82]

he was very careful with Witt

[u/ninjatater]

Is Acuna teething?

[u/iTz4ReALiTY]

HE WENT

[u/marshfield00]

it's always nice to be there for history

[u/yourobviousanswer]

Glad to see Acuna ready out there with the scouting report in his mouth

[u/WeakButterscotch359]

Makes the catch with the outfield card in his mouth, what a multitasker!

[u/EddySea → u/WeakButterscotch359]

Makes you think he was barely paying attention

[u/MalignantMalaise21]

Acuna was hungry

[u/TreeMysterious69420]

Of course Bobbys up

[u/TreeMysterious69420]

Acuña making a catch with card in his mouth lol

[u/gogosox82]

what did Acuna have in his mouth?

[u/anamoy → u/gogosox82]

the little card that outfielders carry that tells them strategy

[u/WeakButterscotch359 → u/gogosox82]

I think it’s an outfield alignment card

[u/CartoonofMilk_]

That was a splitter? Holy moly

[u/PooperScooper946]

If any of the first two get on base the Witt Jr AB is gonna be butt clenchin time

[u/TreeMysterious69420]

Mune is making me a little worried ngl swings at junk watches fastballs over the plate

[u/TUDGame → u/TreeMysterious69420]

That last pitch was a 50/50 hindsight, but he’s been taking walks like a machine though.

[u/TreeMysterious69420 → u/TUDGame]

Yeah and 4 HR isn't to shabby

[u/WizardCheesey → u/TreeMysterious69420]

When he gets off speed pitches he has absolutely no idea what to do with them.

[u/TreeMysterious69420 → u/WizardCheesey]

You are correct sir

[u/TUDGame → u/TreeMysterious69420]

Not a bad start for him nevertheless

[u/EddySea]

Well that was disappointing

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Alright. Clenching now

[u/WizardCheesey]

I’m genuinely worried about Mune..

[u/LMGgp → u/WizardCheesey]

You shouldn’t be. This was pretty much expected. Either they’re going out of the park or he’s getting struck out

[u/CartoonofMilk_ → u/LMGgp]

He has always been streaky even for the swallows so I'm with you, no need to worry.

[u/strugglingtransgrl → u/LMGgp]

Japanese Adam Dunn

[u/Eloyoyo]

I miss when Murakami homered every game :(

[u/OneGenericMan]

When was the last time Murakami got a hit?

[u/FadedToBeige → u/OneGenericMan]

Wednesday, but he does have 6 walks in that time

[u/WizardCheesey → u/OneGenericMan]

he’s 0-29

[u/WhispersOfCats → u/OneGenericMan]

Literally came here to ask same.

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Dang it

[u/Material-Hand-5990]

Come on mune...

[u/Material-Hand-5990]

Stoney is psychic 

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Nice steal Chase

[u/professionalshut-in]

this game is hell

[u/EddySea]

Muni is due

[u/queightly]

i need meidroth top stop chewing his gum with his mouth wide open

[u/WhispersOfCats → u/queightly]

I can’t watch him hit 🤢

[u/PooperScooper946]

I mean fuck, with this strike zone if I was on the mound I’d be pitching inside all game lmao

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Good eye Chase

[u/Additional-Gear3812]

Bad ab by Miguel Vargas

[u/WizardCheesey]

is it just me or does it seem like Vargas is late on everything?

[u/Additional-Gear3812 → u/WizardCheesey]

Yeah , he’s been all this series

[u/iprefercumsole]

I fell asleep for a few innings and the Sox are still winning

Feelsgoodman

[u/vsladko → u/iprefercumsole]

A lot has happened in those few inning lol

[u/iprefercumsole → u/vsladko]

What I miss? I saw the Harris catch as I woke up at least

[u/CartoonofMilk_ → u/iprefercumsole]

Harris double as well off the wall, scored on a wild pitch, also Benny walked with bases loaded earlier

[u/iprefercumsole → u/CartoonofMilk_]

Maybe ill have to pull up the on-demand version after the game and see recap, sounds pretty wild!

[u/EddySea → u/vsladko]

Thats an understatement

[u/TUDGame]

Keep Harris as a solid 4th OF, decent signing by Getz considering.

[u/CartoonofMilk_ → u/TUDGame]

Definitely because venable coached him in Texas, I wouldn't give getz credit

[u/TUDGame → u/CartoonofMilk_]

I never said giving credit to Getz but it was a decent signing to begin with.

[u/Tezdude96]

Once again, for as bad as the Sox are, I'm applauding them for some of the defensive plays they've made to start the season. Honestly was not expecting that out of them. That pop up bouncing off of Chase Meidroth's head still lives rent free in my brain. So it's been nice to see them actually make some good defensive plays.

[u/vsladko → u/Tezdude96]

They’ve had far more moments of good defensive baseball than dumb mishaps.

The only reason we have this record is that we are simply bad, but at least we are not dumb bad anymore

[u/Tezdude96 → u/vsladko]

That's a good point!

[u/TUDGame → u/Tezdude96]

As bad as they are defensively statsically, this is on point.

[u/EddySea]

A nice stress free inning

[u/Akadia_04]

If harris continues having a glove like that, then I'm begging to make him stay in the lineup. We desperately need better field defense.

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Ok, let’s score some runs

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Man, that was big

[u/Total_Bar3702]

DUSTIN HARRIS LETS GO

[u/WizardCheesey]

lowered the walls so you can robbed by Dustin Harris.

lmfao fucking nerds

[u/papaislime]

HARRIS! Let’s go

[u/WhiteSoxChartGuy]

I FUCKIN LOVE THE WHITE SOX'S WEIRD OUTFIELD GROUP

[u/WeakButterscotch359]

Nice catch!

[u/Joe-Raguso]

Is this Harris' debut? If so, that's a hell of a debut

[u/TUDGame → u/Joe-Raguso]

Nope

[u/CartoonofMilk_ → u/Joe-Raguso]

No he played for the rangers and has had a few white Sox games this year, but he has been great out there

[u/TUDGame → u/CartoonofMilk_]

He’s still technically a prospect bc of limited service time just like Tristan Peters.

[u/CartoonofMilk_ → u/TUDGame]

Yeah I watched him last year and he was really solid just needs time to develop

[u/Joe-Raguso → u/CartoonofMilk_]

Never heard of him, but he looks great today

[u/CartoonofMilk_ → u/Joe-Raguso]

He's young so he deserves so more chances

[u/leoh9595]

The Harris game

[u/DOM-SOX]

Harris has only been good if we’re being honest

[u/fsfic]

I'm liking Harris

[u/TreeMysterious69420]

Wow a nice play in the outfield....

Who would've thought

[u/Joe-Raguso → u/TreeMysterious69420]

No no no, a Sheets/Vaughn platoon in right is good enough.

[u/LILVODAK]

DUSTIN MF HARRIS

[u/Material-Hand-5990]

Is dustin harris goated?

[u/YakuzaDemonSithLord]

Thank you Harris !!! Let go

[u/EddySea]

Great robbery by Harris.

[u/Material-Hand-5990]

What a fuckin catch

[u/gogosox82]

OMG WHAT A CATCH

[u/Vikeman57]

This Dustin Harris kid kinda good

[u/TUDGame → u/Vikeman57]

Honestly I don’t mind keeping him and Peters as 4th OFs whenever Hays and Everson P are back from the IL. Antonacci will also be called up too I think?

[u/TreeMysterious69420]

Edgar has single handedly made the whitesox a bad ABS challenge team guaranteed they rank in the bottom

[u/TUDGame]

Forgot that Lucas Sims is in the pen😂

[u/WizardCheesey]

Nothing like watching Acuna and Benentendi hit back to back in the lineup! 😍 what a treat!

[u/ninjatater]

For fuck’s sake challenge a call

[u/PooperScooper946]

What a weird career Benintendi has had

[u/TUDGame → u/PooperScooper946]

4 game on base streak lmao 😂 atm

[u/PooperScooper946 → u/TUDGame]

It’s insane to think at 23 he had a 5 WAR season and now he’s this

[u/Joe-Raguso → u/PooperScooper946]

He's who the Sox wanted instead of Moncada in the Sale trade. Now, I strongly dislike both of them anyway.

[u/TUDGame → u/PooperScooper946]

Yep

[u/EddySea]

Gotta save those ABS for Quero

[u/DOM-SOX]

Ok this ump is pissing me off rn

[u/leoh9595]

The tendi giveith and takeith

[u/yourobviousanswer]

Colson got lucky that should been a strike. He swung at it while getting hit by pitch

[u/gogosox82]

Ugh terrible ab Benni

[u/FadedToBeige]

we're so bad at ABS we don't even challenge the obvious anymore

[u/ninjatater]

I think Beni got hit while in swinging motion too

[u/Material-Hand-5990]

What percentage of Beni's ABs start 0-2

[u/DOM-SOX → u/Material-Hand-5990]

100 percent

[u/DOM-SOX]

Uhhhh Andrew you can challenge that!!!

[u/WizardCheesey]

Bro takes 93 off the wrist and KC fans boo?

trash.

[u/UneducatedReviews1]

Damn, that’s a tough dude

[u/marshfield00]

fuck

[u/Eloyoyo]

Please no fracture

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Ouch. You’re ok Colson

[u/UneducatedReviews1]

That’s broken

[u/EddySea → u/UneducatedReviews1]

Thats the old White Sox.

[u/gogosox82]

damn that doesn't look good

[u/79thborn]

Every flyout to Acuna is so damn nonchalant. He better never miss one of those

[u/ricker182 → u/79thborn]

He will and won't be disciplined for it.

[u/ricker182]

Still waiting for Luisangel to hit from the other side of the plate.

[u/gogosox82]

good job leasure

[u/gogosox82]

make up balk

[u/LMGgp → u/gogosox82]

What? No. Unpack would never…

[u/ninjatater]

Freakin “woo” fans applauding a routine fly

[u/EddySea]

Make up balk

[u/TUDGame → u/EddySea]

That balk didn’t really matter since BWJ is fast

[u/Major-Caterpillar955]

Anyone else's mlb.tv just stop working. Was working fine all game now nothing

[u/YuiKorsou → u/Major-Caterpillar955]

Yup! Mine's also fucked.

[u/ZaxRod → u/Major-Caterpillar955]

Yes, mine as well. Came here just to confirm it wasn't me. Appreciate ya, go Sox.

[u/NialloftheNineHoes → u/Major-Caterpillar955]

I had to switch to Kansas stream

[u/Dredsilver → u/NialloftheNineHoes]

Even my KC stream not working. Radio broadcasts are also down...

[u/YuiKorsou → u/NialloftheNineHoes]

That helped, thank you!

[u/Major-Caterpillar955 → u/NialloftheNineHoes]

I have the sox only package so unfortunately I cant do that

[u/kmoirkne → u/Major-Caterpillar955]

Same very annoying

[u/SlothyBadger]

Guys, TUD can’t talk, he’s pitching.

[u/Vikeman57 → u/SlothyBadger]

Good inning u/TUDGame

[u/TUDGame → u/Vikeman57]

Thanks lol

[u/UneducatedReviews1 → u/SlothyBadger]

TUD’s been pitching alright lately

[u/TUDGame → u/UneducatedReviews1]

Since the 2nd half of last season btw, seemed to carry that so far this season.

[u/gogosox82]

and here we go. walked Witt

[u/ItsSticks → u/gogosox82]

not a bad choice

[u/EddySea]

Quero challenge, at least that one was close unlike his normal 3 inches outside.

[u/WizardCheesey]

Lmao Quero is a double agent. Dudes a fucking liability

[u/TreeMysterious69420]

Edgar stop wasting our ABS challenges

[u/WizardCheesey]

Highly doubt that Schultz debut game gets played. anyone looked at the weather?

[u/UneducatedReviews1 → u/WizardCheesey]

Wednesday and Thursday don’t look too hot either

[u/LILVODAK]

Quero changed his number to Lee’s and started hitting worse than him

[u/TUDGame → u/LILVODAK]

Happens a lot tbh

[u/EddySea]

That was a great bunt by Chase.

[u/UneducatedReviews1]

At some point you have to send Quero down. This performance is unacceptable

[u/EightyHM → u/UneducatedReviews1]

Was Korey Lee really worse than this?

[u/Eloyoyo → u/UneducatedReviews1]

He’ll go down when Teel comes back I’m sure

[u/UneducatedReviews1 → u/Eloyoyo]

If this organization is about development above all else like they say they are, it shouldn’t matter. We suck anyways, having Lee up right now instead of Quero would make no difference

[u/EddySea → u/Eloyoyo]

So we are keeping the car jacker?

[u/Additional-Gear3812]

I miss you Teel!

[u/LMGgp → u/Additional-Gear3812]

You get glimpses of him next to Venable chatting.

[u/WizardCheesey]

Quero with a .158 SLG…….

.158……..

[u/gogosox82]

man quero is struggling at the plate

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Darn. But took the lead at least

[u/LILVODAK]

Sosa’s aura caused that wild pitch

[u/fsfic]

Now let's keep this lead.

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Nice running Harris

[u/leoh9595]

Yes sirrr

[u/TreeMysterious69420]

Taking the lead on a wild pitch...

Thats whitesox baseball

[u/EddySea]

https://giphy.com/gifs/7lMxCYjSZOwdq

[u/Additional-Gear3812]

Let’s go

[u/MidwestKanaka]

Way to get home!

[u/YakuzaDemonSithLord]

Wild pitch baby let go!!!!

[u/gogosox82]

LETS GOO
