Last matchup between both teams for the year. Winner of this game takes the 3 game series.
Today's starters: Stroman vs Sale
First pitch 1:10PM CST.
Who's ready for the offense that hit 7 homeruns yesterday to barely score 2 runs today
>>68947006
It's Sale day, I don't give a shit about the offense. I just want to see him not suck.
>>68947018
Pretty much this.
But knowing the White Sox, something's gonna go wrong again.
>>68947245
Well, it's hot and it's in The Cell, so most likely it's going to be dinger city.
FUCK YEAH EATON
well that was nice
Not at the game today so maybe now they'll have a chance again
Lets go Sale
Twins are perfectoing the yankees
>>68947677
>through 5
they'll lose
>14 (four(FOUR)teen) pitches through 2
This game is going to last like 1 hour
Melky you fucking dope
Dammit Melky.
>Melky
>Donaldson
What an absolute scum-tier play but a scum-tier player
>2 on, no out
>they blow it again
What a team they've put together
Shit..
hey look a double play the sox wouldn't have turned
>>68947677
>go to MLB.com
>look at scoreboard
>literally says PERFECT GAME in white on red
why the fuck would you do this
is this some sort of jinxing campaign to make them rarer?
>>68948168
>muh superstition
>>68948242
there's superstition and then there's just being blatantly counter-custom
>>68948266
>muh superstition
it's gone btw
>>68948305
obviously it would be when they announce it to the fucking world in the 5th innning
>>68948410
>muh superstition
>>68948428
speaking of perfect games, sale is sort of throwing one right now since donaldson technically didn't get on base
webm of blonde qt platting her hair pls
>>68948470
It doesn't work like that.
FUCK YEAH SALADMAN
Shitty bunt, but based Salad
>>68948482
>>68948515
it was just making me wonder, is the definition of a perfect game one with 0 total bases for the opposition, or no man reaching base (27 up, 27 down)? you could argue that since donaldson got out on the same play as he got a base, it didn't break up the perfect game, even though he got a hit (a perfect game that is also not a no-hitter at the same time?)
I dunno if that's retarded or not.
>>68948738
>canada
>>68948765
debate me nigga
>>68948738
It's just a game with zero blemishes of any kind. A hit where the runner got caught stretching is still a blemish.
hurray, another run
Stroman's just not ready.
>>68948871
Didn't he graduate from THE Duke University? He should be ready for anything.
>>68948799
just seems kinda unfair to call it a one hitter when no one even got on base.
this is assuming sale pitches the rest of the game with no walks, errors or any other bullshit too
>it's a sox catcher can't frame low pitches episode
>two of those pitches were in the zone
I fucking hate this. Is it so hard to find a catcher who knows how to frame pitches and get a hit once in a while
>>68949240
>and get a hit once in a while
I would take even a .100 average if it meant a better strike zone.
>creepy doll
TIMMY!
Timmy's getting hot.
wew
>TIMMMMMMMMMMMM
I hate this manlet
>le solo dinger man
>abroo was good for like a week
at least melky is good
>Frazier does nothing and a run scores again
I like this new trend.
How many wild pitch runs have we got in the past week?
at least everyone has stopped calling him the ace, that must've been hard to live with
fuck this team
>>68950982
What this guy said
Why did we have to play stroman today, I would have been happier with Happ
>sox turn a DP
neat
somebody stop the indians
He's got a shot at a Maddux
>people actually think the jays were going to be anything other than a .500 team
Yay right DP
>>68951826
>>68951639
Is there a stat or metric for almost/botched DPs? Is our infield defense really that bad or is it just the eye test and recency bias?
>>68951821
people overestimated the bullpen way too much. Starters have been hit or miss for the most part, fucking dickey is 0-5 in the dome. still trying to live and die by the longball
>>68951963
Infield isn't completely ass, but just bad when you need them most.

>DPR (double play runs): The number of runs above or below average a fielder is, based on the number double plays versus the number forces at second they get, as compared to an average fielder at that position, given the speed and location of the ball and the handedness of the batter.
>>68952119
Based fangraphs. So it's definitely worse than average. Wonder if it's mostly on Lawrie.
Had to happen eventually.
Can't ever finish a game without giving up a home run
Or two.
Here's the part where Robin leaves in sale for too long
holy fuck do the umps ever ride sale's dick
remove sale literally right now
>>68951762
This is all your fault
White sox tears taste so good

looks to me like mostly balls that should've been strikes
fucking avila
Based Sale nonethless
Let's get some insurance please
>>68952627
Sounds like a new diet. Trying to lose a few more pounds?
>>68952597
Sale has been like this for his whole career. He gives up a lot of dingers.
>>68952703
kek
>>68952703
Your team's on the dive, this is just the start
>>68952773
>start
About a month late there britleaf
>>68952814
about 6 years late actually
>>68952773
>the start
Where have you been the past 6 weeks.
>>68952878
Well I did just get mob TV recently
>>68952773
>nigel trying to banter
I can't tell if this or Brexit passing is more embarassing
>>68952875
"All in" was a valid try, but after it failed unexpectedly and so devastatingly, they should have started over, not continued to try to tape back the debris. That's why the past half decade has been like this and why this year continues. All because of KW not letting go of the 2011 failure.
J.B CLUTCH
wait wat
>shucklefuck getting a homer
nice
JACK
BARDETTE
SHUCK
thank you insurance

>>68953133
BURDETT* fuck me for trying to spell it phonetically
>>68953180
At least you tried.
i hate boobtista
drob pls lock it
Alright drob, Finish it without incident please
All right now here we go
>>68953397
>>68953434
Yes :^)
gg Toronto. Best of luck in the AL East.
>>68953397
>>68953434
'no'
>Flies out
>implying either of these team are making the playoffs
>>68953879
Who are you talking to
WINNAH
BASED SALE
gg jays
Back to .500 and tied with the tigs
Much needed off day coming up. Seriously based Sale for even more much needed rest for the seriously malignes BP.
>>68953822
Congrats on .500 CHW
gg soxbros
elite sale certainly cucked us good today
>>68953937
YOU
OVAH
I wonder how many times we'll say "back to .500" this year.
>>68953879
I still think the Jays will win the AL east
Baltimore is a shit tier team due for a collapse any day now.
Sox might get the wildcard, I hope they don't because they cuck us every time
>>68954136
Better than saying down to 10 under
Then again in the big picture, maybe not
>if it weren't for the offense defying all probability and not scoring twice on bases loaded no outs
>If not for Migo shitting the bed so hard that even 7 HRs couldn't win
>we could have swept the week
Baseball
>>68954136
Your team is fundamentally strong and I expect a late season rally. The Indians are a meme and KC is overrated this year. You are best in AL central
>>68954238
>yfw we don't even get a protected pick this season and continue KW/Hahns wild ride
>>68954348
Sucks that the Sox can't play for shit within their own division. Even when the Twins come to town, it's not a solid bet Sox are gonna win 2 of 3.
>>68954444
>continue KW/Hahns wild ride
>quads confirm
NOOOOOOOOOO
>>68954348
I agree on paper and all that but for reasons unknown to us, this team just crumbles and becomes a completely different shittier team when facing central opponents. Many people have brought up scouting as an issue which could be true seeing how those same scouts practically gave us >shields and >migo
>>68954444
>Those 4 4s
NO I TAKE IT BACK
>>68954633
>dubs take it back
Thank you gets
Well this one stings. Would have been a strike out if we had robo umps
>>68955344
Or notnavarro/avila
>>68954444
Jesus fucking christ. You are a piece of shit for dropping quads on something that terrible.
Sorry I missed the GD thread today guys, I had a lot going on and I know you missed me.
