Chicago White Sox 2019
Dane Dunning continues to impress, holding a potent Twins lineup in check.
Sox playoff magic number is at 2 and it's 9 to clinch the division. :rock:

Yes because anyone who would want the reigning batting average champion in his prime leading off is bonkers.../s.
Rodon will not have enough time to stretch out his availability pitch count /innings to starter range so Bummer and Rodon will be exceptional LH relief additions. Dunning is at starter pitch count level and doing great...Keuchal should be back...Pitching should be deep enough with quality arms, Defense a pitchers best friend has 3 Gold glove quality members in CF, 2nd base (x 2) and backup IF Of ...the only actual winner of the 3 Yolmer Sanchez, experience/leadership quality...Abreu, Grandal, Anderson, Keuchal. Players in prime , Anderson, Giolito, Grandal, Abreu to lead youth 5 tool talents...Robert, Jiminez and Moncada...jeez should be fun at minimum...reminiscent of KC Royals from a few years back.

I'll eat that crow. I didn't think TA would have another season with a batting average that high again. His evolution as a hitter is a bright spot for the Sox player development, both TA and the Sox deserve a ton of credit for what he has turned into.

Thanks! Anyone who advertises they are an Illini fan in Iowa gets my utmost respect.
Sox are going to the playoffs for the first time since 2008 :rock:
I hope that's how this continues. Hopefully, the guys that have been struggling will relax a bit and start hitting again. No reason to stress anymore.
So is it true that next month will now be known as Soxtober?
Massive gut punching loss tonight. If the Sox don't turn it around, their stay in the postseason will be very brief.
Ricky needs to have Robert lay down a bunt, just so he can remember what it feels like to make contact. Ditto for Moncada.
Sox are really limping to the finish line, eh?
I remember the end of 2005 being similar to this , limping in , then starting pitching and clutch hitting took over and allowed Ozzie to not have to make many bullpen decisions (which was a good thing)haha. Go Sox !!!
Renteria got pantsed last night, bringing in Rodon ahead of Plummer...oof...I have been a huge Renteria supporter...We need a couple wins for seeding I feel. then again haven't looked at playoffs and who would play who and 2nd round...time to get hot...
Going into tonight's game, the White Sox would be the 4 seed in the AL hosting the Yankees in the Wild Card round. The winner of that series likely plays Tampa in the divisional round.
Sox are the 7 seed and will play at Oakland in the WC round.
At least it's not the Indians or Twins I guess

Hasn't the Oakland Coliseum been a house of horrors for the Sox over the years though?
White Sox/A's Game 1 on Tuesday set for 2:00 PM CT on ESPN. Game 2 on Wednesday will have the same start time and network.
Pretty much
Sox take game 1!
Lucas Giolito was simply lights out.

Crazy stat of the day: Oakland had only played 6 games against teams with winning records before today. If Kuechel is anywhere near as good as Gio was today, we’ve got a good shot to sweep.
That’s right! Just the games against the Padres and Dodgers. An effect of the “siloed” scheduling. Crazy.
Similarly, I’m wondering how much of the crazy low batting averages in the two Central divisions is a product of bad hitting versus everyone only playing games against teams with Bauer, Darvish, Bieber, etc.
Sox lose a tough one. Battled back but came up just short.
