White Sox vs. KC Royals - for the Division Lead

[Mingo]

Let's take this series - like champions. Go the ace Rodon pitching tonight.

The much maligned Zach Collins with the homer to dead center. Adding to the White Sox major league trailing home run total at 26 on the season.

 

[Mingo]

Eaton breaks his 0-20 slump with an rbi single scoring Timmy. 2-0 Sox

 

[Mingo]

Jose doubles in Eaton - 3-0

I'm the only White Sox fan pulling them through tonight - so some of you guys need to show on the weekend - cause I go this one.

Present! Looks like the Sox will be a pitching led team this year...

Old school White Sox winning formula - pitching. The pitcher are on tonight.

not like they have a lot of choice considering a third of the lineup is mia.

good call removing rodon after 90+ pitches.

anderson can look so bad at the plate. surprises me he's hitting in the .290's. looked like he was trying to kill the ball that last ab. thought he was better than that with a man in scoring position less than two outs. he swung from the heels.

Sometimes he comes up and he's got the Jiddies.

5 pitches and hendriks looks like he's out of breath. not the closer i was hoping for. no one should suggest he's the best in the al anymore.

 

[Mingo]

Well - that's all she wrote. Good night all.

Chalk a dub up for the Good Guys. Now let's take the next one too.

1st place all alone ............ FINALLY! i will be pleased if they stay there.

Baseball is such a funny sport to predict. The Sox are in 1st place - while their highest paid stars are flopping, or injured and the throw away roster guys are playing like All-stars (Rodon - Cease - Mercedes - Ruiz - and Heuer). Even the HOF manager - who doesn't bother to learn the rule book - is managing like an out of breath clown, but still the Sox persist.

The one exception to the above is Timmy - who has clearly upped his game defensively (his stop last night of a ground ball to Moncada's left to hold the runners to bases full - instead of scoring a run or two - may have saved the game last night). TA also continues to hit - as his BA since 2019 leads MLB.

Rodon - is off the best start by a White Sox starter 5-0 (one earned run in 5 starts) since 1918 (that's one hundred years fellas).

Lance Lynn pitches tonight.

God bless American and God Bless the Chicago White Sox!

I got my first vaccine shot last night and was exhausted...Still am, honestly. It'll be better when things slow down at work after next week. Had enough of this work sh*t...A perpetual charlie horse isn't helping things.

That said...Who the hell did Carlos Rodon sell his soul to to create this turnaround?
