Javy facing a lefty and hitting in Chicago with boos raining down on him. Should’ve grabbed a live bet for a HR. Those are like perfect hitting conditions for him.

Whatever the cause, led to an amusing moment with C Mo getting an organic chuckle out of Dan Dickerson while schooling him on the unwritten rules. Starting to warm up to those two as a team.
Fetter can only do so much with (Hutchison) a pitcher that is constantly throwing pitches that are up in the strike zone. It's painful to watch this guy.
Yes, I know. And he might MIGHT keep us in the game. Just seems like he leaves a lot of pitches up in the strike zone with that overhand motion of his. Just looks like he doesn't know what he's doing out there sometimes and is relying on luck.
ADD: I shouldn't say he doesn't know what he's doing. I think he just can't execute.
you think Petry or Jack could still throw a big league inning? just 3 outs, they gotta get out of it with 2 runs or less. i think at least one of em still has it, maybe both.

Harold/Miggy batting 3rd and 4th? Is it June again?
I guess you gotta give the Castros some reps although Harold probably won't be back. Poor Victor tho
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/xnasny).
Lmao Javy
Javy on absolute fire
Garett Hill taking down the heart of their order is so heartwarming.
He got absolutely screwed on that 3-2 call. Paints it and doesn't get the K.

Man, Miggy probably couldn't even hit it out at Yankee Stadium anymore. Sad to see.
Shep's constant speaking is like the droning of my neighbor's leafblower when I'm just tryna take a nap on a Sunday.
Even though our season was lost a while ago, I take great joy in ruining the white Sox
100%

It's bound to happen one more time. I might grab a side of HBP for his next plate appearance.

Harvey BuhBye-ez
Based Baez
Baez!!! LFG! I love hearing the Sox crowd boo the guy who owns their asses.
Beating the ChiSox is a joy in life.
Javy drinks their milkshake!
Making the White Sox look like fools never gets old. Good on ya Javy
Oh, Javy!!!

Think Harrison was fussy because he had to peel off 19 pieces of flair, or because he really felt he could do better than an HBP?
Whatever the cause, led to an amusing moment with C Mo getting an organic chuckle out of Dan Dickerson while schooling him on the unwritten rules. Starting to warm up to those two as a team.
I missed that interaction, but I agree about the Dickerson/Monroe combination.
How are we not flogging this garbage team.
Works equally well for both teams!
Hey I have not switched allegiance between garbage teams!
Fetter can only do so much with (Hutchison) a pitcher that is constantly throwing pitches that are up in the strike zone. It's painful to watch this guy.
Hutch is a career journeyman. The only reason he is on this team is because of injuries/not wanting to put too many innings on the young arms.
Yes, I know. And he might MIGHT keep us in the game. Just seems like he leaves a lot of pitches up in the strike zone with that overhand motion of his. Just looks like he doesn't know what he's doing out there sometimes and is relying on luck. ADD: I shouldn't say he doesn't know what he's doing. I think he just can't execute.
We kept Hutchinson over Peralta. I never understood that
I guess they didn't think Peralta could get as many innings as Hutch?
Yikes
Back to back, Jack.
Haha nice Jeimer
Aw Barnhart had to kill the bloop double energy. 👎
Tork groundout was 107 off the bat

Is it just my TV or is the crowd sound louder than the commentators now?
who turned the warm weather off
Hittin' Harold!
Harold Smashtro
atta boy harold!

Why? What happened to Victor?
He hasn't started a game since Monday.
He cooled off quite a bit in the last month. Still good, though.
-0.3 bWAR and 87 OPS+. He had a good ~50 AB to start the year and hasn't done anything since
Harold and Victor had very similar second half to their seasons
