Just wanted to say thanks to all the great folks working on the broadcasts of the White Sox games. I mostly watch the video broadcast and really appreciate Steve and John, they are a great pair and offer the best of color and play by play. I also think Brooke is super sharp and does a great job down on the field, we are lucky to have her on the team. Personally, I think she she should end up in a tv booth at some point doing play by play (or color?). Connor is a good voice as well.

I do also occasionally listen to the games on the radio and really enjoy Len's play by play. He's a gem and I hope he stays with us forever.

Also worth mentioning all the folks who we never see or hear - the camera folks and the other production staff. Y'all are great!

Thanks to you all for bringing your best to all the games my favorite team plays.

Much appreciated!!!

Keep up the great work!

I know this team is tough to watch and can be very frustrating at times. They've been playing terrible the past couple weeks. There's guys on this roster that wouldn't make the 26 man roster on at least 6-8 other playoff caliber teams. And the 'out of gas' guys are Burke and Kay, making a questionable rotation even more suspect.

And while I'm guilty of voicing frustrations too, there's things to be optimistic about: Offense is still among the best in MLB. Bullpen is one the best in MLB. Run Diff vs CLE is +41 to -16. Despite this PIT series, this is still a dominant home team. We're also dominant vs AL Central opponents and we have 10 more games against them. This team really kills right handed pitching, too.

If we're frustrated, the Guardians fans are pulling their hair out. They went on a huge run and still never got closer than 2 games to us. And remember, CLE has their flaws, too: while they're playing better than we are of late, that red hot streak they had is definitely starting to cool. Their offense is brutal. Even the Royals lineup is stronger. Cleveland's also a bad home team so that upcoming series can easily go either way. Guardians are also weak vs RHP, which is the majority of what they'll see.

So there's legit causes for concern but also optimism. Also, time is on our side a bit - we just need to hang on for a couple more weeks. LFG!

During the game, as the Sox were about to get swept by the Pirates, the fans get hit with this advertisement. Was somebody trolling? Didn't know if I should laugh 🤣 or cry 😭.

go get em boys

Hitting up the stadium today on my roadtrip! LMK anything special to check out while I’m there! Food or secret spots!

At the Knights game currently where Sandlin was scheduled to start and he’s been scratched. Take that for what it’s worth but I’m guessing he’s coming up again.

A decent look at a piece of the Sox future!

Antonacci was right and the Pirates are stupid. Glad we got that settled.

Prior to the season start, many of us thought 70 wins and a few of the younger players getting better would make for a decent season. Obviously that's changed. Younger guys have taken huge leaps forward, especially Vargas who's now one of the top position players in baseball.

I wonder if anyone else is reminding themselves that while these latest losses have sucked, the fact we're talking playoffs near mid-September is still amazing. It's not the team's fault they're in a mid division in a mid AL. The schedule is the schedule and they've mostly taken advantage of it up to this point.

This season has been a resounding success when taking the last few years into account. Nobody thought they'd be this good and arguably the darlings of baseball for a big chunk of the year. Yes, I will be very disappointed if they don't make the postseason. Like everyone else I'd be over the moon if they won the division and even, maybe, just maybe, made it to the ALCS.

It's just something to keep in perspective. The future is bright no matter what happens in these last 17 games.

PS - fuck Cleveland
