Let me start by saying that I’ve been married to an incredible Cuban woman for 35 years. Her family is awesome too. But the Cubans on the White Sox need to go: Robert, Moncada, and Grifol. Lazy, injury prone, and baseball stooooopid. Trade them for a cafe con leche and a couple of medianoche sandwiches


Penstripedsox

At least we didnt have to wait 14 innings


DuckBilledPartyBus

Kopech’s wild pitch pitch is going to get al the attention, but don’t forget he already struck that dude out. That ump was trash.


Total_Air_6081

Yup.


TheDevolution27

Roberts is checked out until he gets traded.


Penstripedsox

Robert had 4 rbis today.


Penstripedsox

Who is roberts?


ClearSyllabub2349

Let’s be honest. There was no way he was getting the runner


Penstripedsox

Yeah most guys around the league hold it now. They just let it drop half the time. This l on dejong and maldenado (and the ump too ha)


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

Doesn’t matter you throw the damn ball.


Ruddiver

what did schiffren say was terrible. I keep rewinding it and cant tell.


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

The ump


GeicoFrogGaveMeHerp

The no strike call


Total_Air_6081

Fuck this Ump and fuck Kopech.


EightyHM

Why do you not even attempt a throw? I don't understand...


MattMickley

He didn’t want the game to continue. There is no other reason.


Eloyoyo

Luis loves holding the ball in those scenarios


Penstripedsox

You think he was gonna get him?


Eloyoyo

90% no, would’ve needed a perfect throw and tag. But he has done things like this before, his lack of effort is infuriating sometimes


SleepLessTeacher

Doesn't matter, you have to try...like every other outfielder in the league does on those plays.


SmittyPosts

it’s the game winning run, you have to at least try


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

He didn’t even throw the fucking ball?! What is happening


Jason82929

And the wild pitch leads to the loss Schriffen sounds whiny 


richyque

embarrassing


MajesticWalrus520

Nice try by Robert Jr


SleepLessTeacher

WHY DIDN'T HE THROW THE BALL?


8CelebrationBig8

No way he was getting him out anyways


Jason82929

No idea. Looked like he forgot the runner was on 3rd? Or he just gave up since it was highly unlikely he was gonna get the out 


benoobject

By that logic, why even catch the ball?


Jason82929

Well yeah if you’re not gonna at least try to make the throw you can just trot to the dugout once it’s hit your way 


Total_Air_6081

What can go wrong will go wrong


exzyle2k

Murphy's Sox


MajesticWalrus520

If Kopech gets hurt that will hurt his trade value


SleepLessTeacher

Oh great, he's injured. Now we can't trade him.


Penstripedsox

Terrible miss by the ump there. Maldy cost us 2 ks now


DuckBilledPartyBus

These strike zones are insane.


BigShot357

Ump scorecard will be quite interesting


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

You have got to be kidding me


TheDevolution27

OPE!


exzyle2k

What the fuck was that?


UneducatedReviews1

Looks like his spine csught


Total_Air_6081

Maldy….


CantankerousButtocks

Starts typing “blopech”… waiting… waiting…


TheDevolution27

It’s Opech cuz it’s always an ope in classic Midwestern fashion, and he’s like OPEC in that he’s always drilling batters with hit-by-pitches.


YouLiedToMeFirst

So Maldy would have to start the 10th on 2nd. Can Danny GuyWang catch?


Jason82929

Feels like a Kopech walk off HR allowed day


Safe-Register-3479

It's only been like a week, so we're due


UneducatedReviews1

100%. We got bad Kopech tonight


leoh9595

Butterfingers


MajesticWalrus520

Maldy tried y’all


MajesticWalrus520

I wonder if Kopech listened to his self-help tapes before the game tonight?


Jason82929

Maldonado making contact on a 101 pitch should count as a hit for him 


MajesticWalrus520

It was almost a homerun


anamoy

Thanks maldo


Jason82929

What’s with the weird “oooohhhh”’s this inning? Is this new? 


leoh9595

I’m sorry Brebbia I wasn’t familiar with your game


leoh9595

Hopefully we can get a team to give us something for dejong. I think I’m ready for his time on this team to be at an end


Jason82929

Someone should trade for him. Return won’t be much but you take whatever lottery ticket guy you can get for him 


richyque

Bogus strike out


leoh9595

Tanner has been looking a whole lot better


Jason82929

Less than 4 weeks until the trade deadline.  Time for everyone to lock in and focus on boosting their trade value. 


MajesticWalrus520

You guys, two balls have been hit to Paul and zero errors.


leoh9595

I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming


Jason82929

He knows the trade deadline is officially less than 4 weeks away now. Time to shore up that defense for scouts 


Pariah6-4

Snorlax behind the plate is a beautiful sight


Safe-Register-3479

I wish they could give him a Jabba the hutt looking gear behind the plate kinda like what they do in hockey for the goalies with just the mask


Pariah6-4

Hockey-style mask art for catchers would actually be sick af


Jason82929

6 runs for this team is impressive


Penstripedsox

They literally cant trade him the team will score 50 runs the rest of the year


MajesticWalrus520

Jerry doesn’t care about winning


MajesticWalrus520

Pham should do some shadow boxing to show the umps what’s up


doggoploggo

What not hitting behind Benintendi does to a mfer


SevenCitrus

Staying in this!


Pariah6-4

Holy fucking shit actually bringing RISP home


Safe-Register-3479

He was .122 with RISP to start this is a miracle


leoh9595

Lead Off Robert feeling it


anamoy

Holy moly tie game


PM_ME_YOU_THICC

Tommy about ready to throw hands


MajesticWalrus520

Maldy is coming in


Pariah6-4

LFG


Jason82929

Remember Yoan Moncada? 


anamoy

Pepperidge farm remembers


0sswald

If Sosa can improve at 3b, I'll forget about him. Offensively, Sosa looks to have figured out something at the plate


DuckBilledPartyBus

Sosa has looked like he’s figured something out a half dozen times over the last couple of years. I think we need to consider the possibility that he might just be a streaky hitter. He looked great after his last call-up, and then he cratered again. Yeah, he’s put a few nice games together this week, but he’s going to have to do it a lot more consistently before it looks like anything other than another streak. Because in the net balance he’s been bad: negative WAR and an OPS+ of 68.


Jason82929

Gonna be Ramos’ spot before too long. 


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124


Jason82929

Used to play for the Sox 


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

Oh I know lol


Jason82929

The guardians pick up 3 excuse me, indeed. 


Penstripedsox

3 unearned 


WizardCheesey

Give Flexan a contract. This guy is really good


leoh9595

Should’ve been out of the inning now we’re down three


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

Make a basic play we’re hitting right now


Jason82929

That’s White Sox baseball 


Impossible_Echo_9521

Cleveland really brings out the worst in us. Every time


MajesticWalrus520

Just Cleveland?


Impossible_Echo_9521

Would love to see the stats on errors committed vs them compared to the field


Pariah6-4

I can’t wait to see DeJong’s error total at the end of the season


Penstripedsox

Fuckin clowns


straightforwardarc

Heady, cerebral baseball


WizardCheesey

White Sox baseball baby !


leoh9595

Idiotic


Few_Culture_9608

If it couldn’t get any worse I just turned on Pluto TV to see what was on before bed.. and they are playing the Josh Naylor game from 22


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

I’ll say it i I hate dejongs game


anamoy

another dejong error


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

What the fuck did that really just happen


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

Jason Bennetti is a damn saint. Miss that guy


leoh9595

The strike zone is about 10ft wide for the Sox


richyque

HOME RUN


TheDevolution27

That Jardiance commercial is unhinged 


FadedPigeon88

sheets the oaf in the outfield makes me want to play in traffic


iiamthepalmtree

Do our coaches not teach how not to balk? I know the balk rule is a meme but I’ve barely been watching this year but I feel like they balk every single game I do tune into. Why are we balking so much? Is balking up league wide or is this another thing we’re pathetic in?


DuckBilledPartyBus

No MLB pitcher needs to be taught how not to balk, and no MLB team is spending time on “not balking” lessons. It’s just something that happens when a pitcher loses concentration. Sox pitchers are under a great deal of pressure because the team is so bad, so perhaps that’s contributing to it. But it’s not some organizational breakdown.


Penstripedsox

I watch all the games we play and we havent done it much but it should be not at all it hardly happens around the league


JamangoSmoovie

HOW DO THEY BALK SO MUCH


UneducatedReviews1

This is our 5-6 this year now… like what the fuck


Penstripedsox

“Carrssco’s dealing right now”  No, not really John, he’s simply facing the 2024 whitesox


Safe-Register-3479

See the thing about John is he’s about as real as a manikin and will say anything they tell him to


TheSmokedSalmon420

lmao your announcers are hilarious


Puzzleheaded-Fix6124

Hey respect stonie. The other guys fair game


Jason82929

The “sell the team” hot dog 


Safe-Register-3479

Down one? Now Pedro’s edging like fuck in the dugout


Impossible_Echo_9521

oh no. a schnee bomb


WizardCheesey

Flexen is such a fucking bum 😂😂😂


River_Pigeon

Ball was crushed


WizardCheesey

The scouting report on Robert is offspeed, low and away. Dude swings it at every time 🤦🏻‍♂️ been doing this his entire career


Penstripedsox

Yeah true


daBabadook05

You get these swings like 3x a game from Robert. How is this not fixed yet from early in his career


WizardCheesey

Made almost the same comment right after you 😂


Safe-Register-3479

Sell sell sell


hungry4clam77

Sheets with the CANNON


Impossible_Echo_9521

Really hate how their jerseys and pants are a different shade of grey. Cant help but notice it every time


River_Pigeon

Noted speed demon Paul dejong


Penstripedsox

Paul looked cooked around that turn cursing being sent


Souporsam12

Yall just love to hate lol. I think it was the right call, but that throw from OF to catcher was crazy


Jason82929

Not a horrible send. That was a pretty good relay 


ClearSyllabub2349

I agree. Despite Paul’s speed I thought it was just a spot on throw


Safe-Register-3479

Was a sad display of base running lol


Penstripedsox

Could have slid around the tag 


Souporsam12

To be honest that tag was crazy though, dude got em out on the bounce.


Safe-Register-3479

Yeah on replay it was a good send


JATH0R

LMFAO


richyque

OUTZ!


Safe-Register-3479

I could totally go the rest of my life not seeing another Eloy at bat


River_Pigeon

Same dude. Same. At least we’ll never have to see yoan again


Impossible_Echo_9521

Should dfa him during this half inning


chica-i-go

I am patiently waiting for the books to add Vaughn for the comeback player of the year, and hopefully, he doesn't get traded.


GoombaStoppingHoes

I need a complete season of Vaughn before I jump back on the wagon, but I'm happy he looks like he's figured it out so far.


leoh9595

AV club


GoombaStoppingHoes

Robert is just who Robert is at this point. He can string in some insane MVP level at bats but has the vision of a AA player and horrible discipline most times. I want to keep him so bad but his plate appearances can be so AGONIZING many times.


Penstripedsox

You gotta think they havent worked on it well enough with him or something.


Impossible_Echo_9521

Has some of the worst body language too, makes it harder to watch


Vividlarvae

Andrew Vaughn is a major league hitter.. the tour continues


Safe-Register-3479

Robert batting .122 with runners in scoring position no wonder he's lead off


Pariah6-4

Solo bombs only, you know the rules


Safe-Register-3479

Kinda like Vaughn


River_Pigeon

Take a look at Roberts risp splits for risp by year. It’s sad. Vaughn is considerably better


PrinceOfWales_

I know this is said ad nauseam but I can’t stand Schiffren. I’ve never heard someone sound lamer or more fake


Safe-Register-3479

That Growl HR call was the absolute cringest thing ever


Pariah6-4

To me that was ASG play-by-play material, if we can’t have Snorlax I want him there


Safe-Register-3479

I'm sure MLB fans would rather have Snorlax lol


Penstripedsox

Non whitesox fans seem to love him


Pariah6-4

If we must suffer, they too shall burn along side us


Safe-Register-3479

Suffering is kinda our thing around here at whitesox sub reddit


Gordo_1805

Anyone watching the pregame show? Was Ozzie agreeing or disagreeing with resting Pham today even though Pham has great numbers against the starting pitcher today (Carrasco). I was struggling to follow him.


SleepLessTeacher

That stat they just showed with players that have left the white sox since july 2, 2023 is just....sad. All those injuries and underperforming players minus Reynaldo Lopez. The White Sox kill careers. Ozzie just shit on Grandal lmao. Oh no...Ozzie now shitting on analytics...stop Ozzie please. Just go back to shitting on Grandal lol.


jonwar_83

At the game, guy rolled down his window to flip me off god bless


SleepLessTeacher

Lmao why did a random guy flip you off?


Pariah6-4

Wouldn’t have happened to be Jerry would it?


leoh9595

Robert hitting lead off. I like it


Pariah6-4
