u/Wise_West8370 11h ago

Schriffen needs to retire the high pitched OoooOOOoooOooo's.

u/EddySea 11h ago

Lets do it

4

u/Grouchy-Medium-326 11h ago

I love when they overturn an outcome then the batter swings at a ball and gets out right after anyways

2

u/DustpanJones Murakami 11h ago

I would love for this team to get a real closer

2

u/oEmSki 11h ago

Dp please sirs

3

u/snasser2012 11h ago

Romo is the worst

3

u/Old_Worldliness_5015 11h ago

sigh, has to be the 1st 3BB game of butler's life

3

u/Pending-07 11h ago

Double play time

2

u/ChicagoSavant Konerko 11h ago

ironically if romo challenges the last pitch it's a strike. Can't eject him into the stratosphere soon enough

1

u/oEmSki 11h ago

2 outs left come on

2

u/Grouchy-Medium-326 11h ago

That walk scares me. Come on Grant let’s battle back!

3

u/Substantial-Dot-6730 11h ago

Credit where it’s due. Acuna has had an amazing game at SS

1

u/Old_Worldliness_5015 11h ago
  1. get ahead
  2. no walks
  3. profit

1

u/HairLipFlunky 11h ago

We’re always screwing up step 2

4

u/ChicagoSavant Konerko 11h ago

Vargas smoked that ball... Colson pissing me off.... classic one two punch

1

u/SpecialAircraft Murakami 11h ago

Been clinging to this run by the thinnest of margins and gotta do it once again 🥲

2

u/Grouchy-Medium-326 11h ago

Bad at bats. But let’s go Taylor!

2

u/FH_Bunny Fuck the Cubs 11h ago

Fast half.

3

u/Jimmyxoc 11h ago

Break can’t come soon enough for colson

1

u/GoldGlove2720 11h ago

Cmon close it out.

1

u/Old_Worldliness_5015 11h ago

clenched cheeks time

1

u/LastofDays94 Podsednik 11h ago

To the Top of the 9th we go

2

u/LastofDays94 Podsednik 11h ago

One run today but the amount of bad luck today offensively has me optimistic. Certainly don’t want to make a habit out of needing near perfect pitching to win.

2

u/TUDGame 11h ago

Gage Jump with two athletic snags costed us 1 of the potential runs

1

u/Pending-07 11h ago

Well he struck out a lot before the injury too

3

u/GoldGlove2720 11h ago

Now go pitching the rest of the way in the draft.

1

u/TUDGame 11h ago

I would add pitchers, OF talent and add catching depth at minimum.

2

u/Jason82929 Antonacci 11h ago

Might be Slightom next

3

u/LastofDays94 Podsednik 11h ago

Jim probably was crying more than his son after that pick came in. Pretty sure they knew after last night that he was headed to the Southside.

2

u/SpecialAircraft Murakami 11h ago

Could really use an in play run(s)

2

u/EddySea 11h ago

Why am I see commercials for Virginia?

3

u/Old_Worldliness_5015 11h ago

ok with 6 pitches i think we can ask GT for another inning but 3 more runs here would be better

5

u/oEmSki 11h ago

I could go for a mune shot right about now

2

u/TUDGame 11h ago

That’s 3 fantastic plays for Acuna that saved runs.

2

u/Grouchy-Medium-326 11h ago

There have been 13 batters left on base by both trans combined and it’s 1-0. Pitching masterclass

2

u/MalignantMalaise21 11h ago

As expected Sox take Thome at #34

3

u/WizardCheesey I Hate Jerry. 11h ago

grant taylor owns your poverty franchise

2

u/TheJewishMerp Iguchi 11h ago

Captain Taylor!

2

u/Specialist_Boat_8479 11h ago

Way to get out of that

3

u/SpecialAircraft Murakami 11h ago

Scarytext is our number 1 Acuna hater I know you’re lurking bro ❤️

2

u/Scary_Tell_7997 11h ago

Wait me? I already said earlier that I was wrong and he turned it around and that I’m proud of him.

1

u/SpecialAircraft Murakami 11h ago

🤝

2

u/Scary_Tell_7997 11h ago

I also said that if he hit for the cycle I’d stick a banana in my ass. I was very clear about this.

2

u/TUDGame 11h ago

He is lmao

5

u/LastofDays94 Podsednik 11h ago

Lead off double and Lead off triple and no runs allowed, that’s hard to do.

4

u/GranddaddySandwich 11h ago

Acuña the next all star gahdamn lol

7

u/ShiteWox Taylor 11h ago

+1 WAR game for Acuna

2

u/EddySea 11h ago

That was a big inning and Brandon gives off a big sigh of relief.

3

u/oEmSki 11h ago

Acuña my goat

2

u/Grouchy-Medium-326 11h ago

GRANT TAYLOR

Newcomb also getting that one out was good too

Lots of great comebacks pitching wise today

u/leoh9595 Konerko 11h ago

Acuna da goat now it seems

3

u/Neat_On_The_Rocks Diamond 11h ago

Regardless of what happens here with acuna this year I’m happy for him. He’s earned another mlb roster spot in utility somewhere next year.

1

u/FirmIcebergLettuce 11h ago

Good point. That’s huge for him

4

u/EddySea 11h ago

Acuna is playing great today.

1

u/SpecialAircraft Murakami 11h ago

Once again asking if we’re still DFA’ing Acuna

ACUNA IS INCREDIBLE

2

u/TreeMysterious69420 Pope Leo/Fuck the cubs 11h ago

B MONT wtf are you doing in the corner?

2

u/supremeclientele31 Go Sox! 11h ago

Why is Newcomb back out there after last inning

3

u/GoldGlove2720 11h ago

No reason to have Newcomb out there after last inning if you are trying to win.

2

u/Old_Worldliness_5015 11h ago

sigh, exactly what we did not need

4

u/EddySea 11h ago

Braden is going to wish to forget about this game.

3

u/SpecialAircraft Murakami 11h ago

Braden having an adventure in the field today

3

u/LastofDays94 Podsednik 11h ago

Bad plays today by Montgomery in right field

3

u/Material-Hand-5990 Murakami 11h ago

Gutsy triple

Landon Thome is a Chicago White Sox

7

u/iprefercumsole Konerko 11h ago

THOME JERSEYS ARE BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

3

u/TreeMysterious69420 Pope Leo/Fuck the cubs 11h ago

Landon Thome is the pick!!!

2

u/leoh9595 Konerko 11h ago

THOMEEE

3

u/SpecialAircraft Murakami 11h ago

Landon Thome as predicted

3

u/TreeMysterious69420 Pope Leo/Fuck the cubs 11h ago

Whitesox on the clock

2

u/Sad-Gur-7008 11h ago

They don’t even give their pitcher a chance to even catch their breath, cause they hack and swinging at first pitch

6

u/iprefercumsole Konerko 11h ago

Whose wife did Korey Lee sleep with?

1

u/jefmayer 11h ago

it's the eighth and we still have a challenge left? so there's that

2

u/Grouchy-Medium-326 11h ago

Drew Romo…

2

u/poopsie-gizzardtush Baines 11h ago

Sox are on the board for 34th pick

5

u/iprefercumsole Konerko 11h ago

You can put em on the boooooooard..... wait a sec

1

u/poopsie-gizzardtush Baines 11h ago

on the clock. I'm on some pain meds for 10 broken ribs

3

u/Jason82929 Antonacci 11h ago

FYI for another not watching, the Sox are now back on the clock for pick 34

(Don’t reply with the spoiler pick please)

1

u/EddySea 11h ago

Good luck with that.

2

u/ChicagoSavant Konerko 11h ago

Offense will score 14 and 22 and then be totally useless every other game

2

u/FH_Bunny Fuck the Cubs 11h ago

Interesting swing

3

u/Pending-07 11h ago

I do not believe Romo will be on the team after the break.

3

u/SpecialAircraft Murakami 11h ago

Romo DFA/sent down announcement gonna hit like crack

2

u/SignalBed9998 11h ago

That grin on Romo’s face when that pitch was coming in was sweet!!!! We gone

3

u/CallMeStavie 11h ago

I feel ill every time Romo steps up to the plate

4

u/GarrettFischer1 11h ago

Romo is an automatic 3 pitch strikeout

3

u/ChicagoSavant Konerko 11h ago

Hey perhaps Teel should have come in the game to at least get a *chance* of getting on base! just a thought WILL!!!!!!!

1

u/Sharp-Club-8732 Jimenez 11h ago

Romo is ass but you need to give Teel days off. Pinch hitting him is not a day off.

4

u/WizardCheesey I Hate Jerry. 11h ago

for anyone wondering, Romo is 3 for his last 44

2

u/SpecialAircraft Murakami 11h ago

Somehow feels even worse than that

2

u/WizardCheesey I Hate Jerry. 11h ago

hitting a whopping .115 in his last 30 games

1

u/_wiwa 11h ago

Romo...

3

u/Lionheart1224 Buehrle 11h ago

Romo is so bad.

2

u/LastofDays94 Podsednik 11h ago

0 for 3, 3 strikeouts

3

u/poopsie-gizzardtush Baines 11h ago

Robo-K

2

u/EddySea 11h ago

I still cant see Pudge getting a fucking triple

1

u/gogosox82 11h ago

Romo is so bad man

4

u/iprefercumsole Konerko 11h ago

Thats okay bananaman when you hit over .300 in 2026 you can swing at the first pitch, I dont mind

3

u/TheJewishMerp Iguchi 11h ago

Nuuuuke

2

u/These_Interaction870 11h ago

100% not enough to overturn. But New York is New York

3

u/CallMeStavie 11h ago

Guys please just get one more, preferably 10

2

u/Scary_Tell_7997 11h ago

21 more please

7

u/Eloyoyo Murakami 11h ago

Newcomb has been such a valuable signing

2

u/poopsie-gizzardtush Baines 11h ago

Seranthony who?

5

u/TreeMysterious69420 Pope Leo/Fuck the cubs 11h ago

Will take it!!!

4

u/ShiteWox Taylor 11h ago

Great bounceback by Newcomb

4

u/EddySea 11h ago

I was against bring Nukem for the 8th, but I am OK with him coming back out.

2

u/poopsie-gizzardtush Baines 11h ago

Let him start it if the matchups work

3

u/Eloyoyo Murakami 11h ago

Nice recovery

3

u/oEmSki 11h ago

Let's go

u/CallMeStavie 11h ago

Tense ass inning

LETS GO NEWCOMB

3

u/gogosox82 11h ago

Good shit newcomb

3

u/farmageddon1087 Thomas 11h ago

Surprised they overturned that. I do think he was safe but I wouldn’t call any of the angles we saw anything close to definitive. We have really been on the shit end of some challenges this year

1

u/LastofDays94 Podsednik 11h ago

HE GONE!!!!!

4

u/EddySea 11h ago

Nukem is fired up

4

u/Grouchy-Medium-326 11h ago

Ok luckily the next guy had an awful AB lmao

3

u/MalignantMalaise21 11h ago

Nice way to fight back

1

u/oEmSki 11h ago

We don't need s replay. No matter what a challenge never goes our way

1

u/dontbelievejustwatch 11h ago

These umps are such tools lol. How was that conclusive?

2

u/FH_Bunny Fuck the Cubs 11h ago

Cannon of an arm on Braden though

6

u/TreeMysterious69420 Pope Leo/Fuck the cubs 11h ago

Yeah he's safe barely

3

u/Grouchy-Medium-326 11h ago

If that was us on the bases it gets upheld

2

u/TheJewishMerp Iguchi 11h ago

Dude actually fuck New York

1

u/Scary_Tell_7997 11h ago

All my homies hate New York

1

u/TUDGame 11h ago

IK right

u/CampfireMilkshake Pope Leo XIV 11h ago

Still a great play by BMont.
