I'll take that every 5 days.

[MNTSchmitt]

stupid windy city...that was gone.

[MNTSchmitt]

That a boy. Do it again...F' the wind!

[Joe A. Preusser]

PO----Lanco!

[Mill1634]

Jorge with the solo shot!! woo!

[spinowner]

KaBoom!

[ashbury]

PLONK!!!!

[glunn]

Polanco seemed determine to hit one out. Nice at bat.

[stringer bell]

Nice outing for Erv. I noticed the pitcher and the utility man have just "Santana" on their back. No initial.

You...jinxed? him.

[IndianaTwin]

You can put in on the booooooaaaaarrrdddddd, yes!!!!

It seems to me that if the batter is a very fast runner that should affect the calculus, both in terms of sacrificing and bunting to get a hit.

[Mill1634]

And Buxton is retired once again. 2-25 now I believe. 

[MNTSchmitt]

hey he is making contact! i'll take that over striking out.

Hitting is hacking through jungle undergrowth with a machette...pretty cool. Bunting is fine scalpel work on a mitral valve. I'm just saying, I don't want an Amazon guide doing my heart surgery.

I think we can all tell which is which. Incidentally the first team to put names on jerseys was the 1960 White Sox.

The balls will start falling.

It's not necessary to remove caps for GBA because it's not the national anthem. And then there's the question of whether it's necessary for it to be sung every Sunday...

[Mill1634]

I think Erv had another inning left in him. Oh well. Let's ride the bullpen. 

[ashbury]

STOP hating on the bunt.

 

Just. STOP!

Me, I love bunting.

 

I'm hopeful of seeing some again, in a postseason to come.

lol Bert "Whatever his first name is, Sanchez hits a single to right"

[Mill1634]

Good move going to Pressly here. Give Duffey the 8th, and Brandon the 9th. 

[crapforks]

Aaaanndd MLB.tv is down on three devices and 2 different wifi bands. All other internet activity is as normal.

[MNTSchmitt]

White Sox announcers are idiots. They said Soto's ball was annihilated. 

[stringer bell]

I doubt it would be Duffey. If the Twins are still ahead in the eighth, it will be Belisle.

[MNTSchmitt]

Way to get us out of the jam Pressley.

Hardest hit ball of the inning, but not a missle.

[ashbury]

An insurance run or two would feel good.
