I mean, I am no one to talk. I like to drink and smoke weed. We shouldn't shame people. However, it's important to recognize who you are. I don't drive anymore. I have no need to (it saves me a lot of cash). Responsibilities, Tony. Why would anyone in their right mind hire you to lead a group of young men??

Eovaldi is sort of giving me Porcello 2016 vibes. A guy who has always been good but sort of always a ~3 starter getting all his ducks in a row and having a massive season. I had a 10 game plan that year (as well as other tickets I bought on the side) since I lived in The Fenway area back then. I must’ve saw Porcello like 8 times that year. If felt like every game, he would give up a run or two in the second inning but otherwise cruise and throw 6-8 innings.

Giolito sucked today, but overall... man. ChiSox look like they have pitching. Burdi looks pretty good. They keep rolling out impressive relievers.

You know the world is upside down when Giolito gets hammered but Dallas Keuchel shuts down the Sox.

Burdi has good stuff, but has an extensive injury history and pretty violent delivery. Not to pile on La Russa, but I would be annoyed as a White Sox fan he's using Burdi in this mop up role. He should only be used for 1 inning or 25 pitches max.

White Sox and Twins both have some great pitching staffs and some talented offensive players, and I think are both going to have strong records when it's all said and done. Very nice to be on our way to taking 5 of 8 games from them.

Very nice to be on our way to taking 6 of 8 games from them. I think this was a sneaky big win from this team. Had the Red Sox lost we would be looking at a team who had just lost 4 out of their last 5 and having these creeping thoughts that the 9 game win streak was just an aberration. 3 out of 4 against the Twins and a split with the White Sox keeps the hopes of a big year intact

I'll be honest, I really miss watching JBJ patrol Center. He moved with such authority and confidence. Apparently I took it for granted.

As long as he's hitting .231/.273/.404/.677 I won't miss him terribly, but his defense has been pretty good this year if he still has a 0.3 WAR despite the numbers.

Yeah. Thank God we got Cora back. We’re in good hands. This year could’ve been really ugly with a bad manager. Cora is a BAD MAN.

Eovaldi's final line might not represent how good he looked...hopefully Whitlock can strand these runners for him.

Whitlock is great out of the pen and the pen would look a lot worse without him, but I find it hard to believe Perez is a better 5th starter at this point.

The guy is so ridiculously effective. He has a great arsenal, he hits his spots, and he seems to know exactly what he wants to do.

Can I just say that I think bringing in a position player in the 7th when you are down 10-4 — with a pretty good offense — seems but early to quit?
I mean... you send Giolito out to take a beating, then fold with 3 innings left? I don’t know.
Add: maybe just doing Renfroe a solid?
Add: Mendick passes the Franchy test!

10:0 K:BB Could care less about the noise with 4 ER. Eovaldi is pitching great The results are somewhat more of a mixed message to me. Four runs, nine hits in six innings loses a lot of baseball games. The overall package with 10Ks, 0BB certainly has some very good aspects, but a season of similar results will not get it done. I’m more thankful for the offensive explosion today.
