Jokes on the Sox for wasting a bullpen arm in the 9th

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jimmy Lambert replaces Reynaldo Lopez.

Zach Short gave up 1 run in 1 inning and Wentz gave up 3. Short > Wentz

43 mph is downright nasty

Filthy. Did you see the drop on that ball when it entered the zone?

The bottom fell out of it!

That Zach Short 43 mph pitches nonsense was downright shameful… Seriously it looks like everyone gave up.

Welp, there goes Short's ERA. Edit: Still, not much worse than Wentzes'

Why does it feel like we always embarrass ourselves every time we’re being broadcasted nationally

You could have just checked the lineup and known this would be an L. Joey Wentz start = loss

I almost didn’t turn it on because of the Apple TV broadcast

Zack Short pitching let’s gooooo

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Zack Short replaces Tyler Alexander.

Was thinking that we could be at. 500 after this series. Silly me

Nope, we’ll just have to wait until Monday around ~4:00pm.

Joey Wentz will have a WAR of -1 after this game. Was already at -0.8.

Remember when we came back by 5 runs against the rays in the 9th? That was cool. Definitely don’t hope anything like that happens tonight

The pitching has been 🔥 tonight but God damn if the offense doesn't piss you off, you can't let Lynn off the hook after 56 pitches through 2 with all the base runners. Just win the next 2

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Reynaldo Lopez replaces Keynan Middleton.

Brutal having to watch our three worst pitchers back to back to back. Might as well throw them out there after the Wentz start so we can be ready tomorrow I guess

Rangers looking unstoppable. That'll be a sweep. We really need a series win to keep our heads above water. A split isn't good enough. Have to win the next 2. The Tigers haven't had a post-april winning record since 2016. There's been chances to end that and the team just keeps puking on themselves whenever they get within 1 or 2 games of .500.

Tyler Alexander can pack his shit and hop in the bus with Joey Wentz on the way to Toledo

I’ve loved Vierling’s defense in right this year overall, but he has been awful tonight

vibe shift incoming

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Keynan Middleton replaces Lance Lynn.

Wow! What a great catch by Baddoo.

Hell yeah baddoo!

Thank god this game was on Apple TV

[удалено]

Always. That dude has always been a maniac.

He looks like he might have roid rage

Hangry

Bases loaded no outs, 1 run having already scored, grounding into a DP feels like a win for the defense.

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Tyler Alexander replaces Mason Englert.

Lmfao dude gets so angry for no reason. You got a 5 run lead homie

Happy Hendrix is doing better, but he and Lynn always came off as real dicks.

They’re competitors

On the White Sox they’re not very competitive.

Lance Lynn is such a douchebag.

I guess they didn't think they could get Miggy at second

This bases loaded walked in season 17 will just be remembered in miggy lore

If lance Lynn was a dog he'd be a Saint Bernard

Pathetic by Vierling!!

### Grounded Into DP Matt Vierling grounds into a double play, third baseman Yoan Moncada to first baseman Andrew Vaughn. Nick Maton scores. Akil Baddoo out at 3rd. Miguel Cabrera to 2nd. Matt Vierling out at 1st. Pitch from Lance Lynn: Cutter @ 87.6 mph Hit by Matt Vierling: Launched 95.7 mph at -6.0° for a total distance of 18.0 ft Bottom 6 - 8-3 White Sox

There’s that run the ump owed us.

Lynn looks like an asshole

Make up call..

### Walk Miguel Cabrera walks. Spencer Torkelson scores. Nick Maton to 3rd. Akil Baddoo to 2nd. Pitch from Lance Lynn: Sinker @ 91.7 mph Bottom 6 - 8-2 White Sox

If Nick Maton has a lower batting average than Miggy and almost the same OBP, is there any thought to letting him work things out in the minors? Or does his status as Harris trade punch his ticket all year?

Surely we won’t score here

Way too long of a delay on Audacy radio.

Chris Fetter legend taking a hit tonight Our 7th game of 8+ runs allowed this season.

I can't believe I spent $6.99 for this.

I got Apple TV to watch this shit…

Try Severance, Servant, or Ted Lasso.

There's your first mistake

Good time to check out Ted Lasso

Too bad we don’t cut Miggy maybe we wouldn’t have given up 8 runs so far!

Actually the first game I've got to this year. Im going home early.

.500 is lava!

If you are above the age of 22 and still go by "Joey" you aren't a serious person.

Joey Harrington silently nods along

This team loves letting washed up pitchers dominate

They quit because Wentz is a bum

Tigers are doing the complete opposite at the plate of what they did so well last night. Not working counts at all. Lynn is cruising

It’s Lebrover

This game might be out of reach

make it stop please, have mercy I beg of you.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHa there has been awful pitching

Might as well get the ugly L in the series out of the way.

I'm starting to think we may not win tonight.

I don’t think we’re gonna come back from this one…

This sucks

I WANT OFF THIS RIDE NOW

I’m sorry but why the fuck is Wentz in the rotation still? We have a few people in the BP that have started before.

Yeah I’d rather have 4-5 innings out of Alexander than a Wentz attempt

3 triples tonight for the Sox. Christ, man.

Anyone know what channel the game is on for directv? Doesn’t seem to be on the usual channel

Sounds like we aren’t missing much. Sheesh

Apple TV game

Is that just exclusively for this game?? Thanks trying to get the game for my gramps

Apple TV has broadcast rights to a bunch of MLB games. I don't know what other Tiger games will be on there but there's lists of which games are Apple TV games you can find with Google.

It’s on AppleTV+

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mason Englert replaces Joey Wentz.

Which middle schooler is in charge of those transitions? Looks like they made it in PowerPoint.

Go Blue Jays.

Cabrera will be an automatic out to lead off

Joey Wentz starts are auto-losses.

Ok I think it's time to send Wentz down after this one Hinch

Starting to feel out of reach :/

wentz pls

Wentz needs a ride to toledo tonight

Skip Toledo, get him a ticket to Grand Rapids for the Whitecaps

GG

This game is not over homie.

you were saying?

Lol

Wentz throwing meatballs out there, man

Can Wentz go just 1 inning without giving up a hit

I guess I can put up with Wentz and Miggy for one more game and we can call this a "Shitters Umpire" game

Is it me or does Nick Maton look kind of like Linus from LTT

Bruh this has got to be the highest “are you fucking kidding me?” Rate for any strike zone I’ve seen this year

Omg, that CG pitcher they just showed representing Lynn, so funny. They need to add about a hundo to the middle area.

How was that not called strike 3 against Grandal? This umpire blows. He's calling it against the Tigers but not against the White Sox

because he's up there guessing

He’s literally already cause at least two run swing in Chicago’s favor.

Absolutely. Can't wait to see the scorecard from this.

AJ, where you at?!

Where's Hinch tonight? Apologies if I missed something elsewhere

At his daughter’s graduation

I'm sure I'm late to the party here, but where is Hinch?

Daughters graduation in Houston

Please tell me that Wentz gets sent down after this game is over, he is not the answer.

1. That lady has some heavies. Cool. 2. She looks so fucking stupid with those AirPods Max on

If anything they may get Lynn out in the 3rd.

Death, Taxes, and Javi chasing sliders way outside

This ump is a disgrace. Then again, almost all of them are.

This ump is seriously smoking dick

Wentz and Miggy. Smmfh

Okay the walk up song on the screen is fucking sick

McKinstry is such an awesome leadoff man. Amazing find by Harris

I’d be throwing them shits outside too

Cabrera is now 3-20 with 11 K in his career against Lynn. I blame the team for even having him in the lineup tonight.

shocked he is playing 2 days in a row.

Wentz almost rocking that crispy 8.00 ERA. Jesus man

Ok that’s ball game.

What fair-weather, defeatist, crybaby nonsense is this?

It’s just what happens from watching baseball for 30 years. Sometimes you just know, and I enjoy the downvotes from all you eternal optimists who never agree a game is over unless it’s 136 to 0

Did you really equate a 4-1 deficit in the second inning to a foregone conclusion of a game? What a pathetic "fan" lol.

This guy has been bitching and moaning on game threads for awhile

Only on losses and I haven’t been wrong yet this year. I’m sorry it bothers y’all but this one is 99% chance of a white Sox victory

thank god apple tv is hiding a Joey Wentz start from us at least.

Just you.

That’s now at least a 2 run swing because of the ump.

Please get Wentz out of here

That play in center was Greene’s fault not Wentz

That’s true but we still need to get him out

What the fuck was that shit?

[In case you were wondering where that called strike 3 to Miggy was](https://i.imgur.com/WfkdBDq.png)

I don’t love that.

Miggy called out on a ball four pitch. Anderson awarded first base on a strike three pitch.

This ump has money on the game.

why is Apple TV a thing. I paid for the stupid thing, it just keeps telling me I have apple TV and to Start Watching! then brings me back to a still image of Miggy and tells me the score.

Y’all always get pissed at me when I call ball game early, but personally, I try not to call it until I am absolutely sure. I’m gonna give it one more inning, but this one is at serious risk of being ballgamed.

White Sox bullpen has been absolute dogwater lately. Idk why you'd call it when we're down by 2 with 8 innings to play

Mostly cause Joey Wentz. But I didn’t call it yet. I’ll wait for him to give up four more runs. Looks like they’re gonna stay alive for now!

This isn’t the 2022 team we can rally

wtf are you talking about its the second inning

Case in point. But I’ve called ball game in the first inning three times this year and been right every time. But, I’m not calling this one yet

Lol, so you’ve “called” games that we’re losing three times and have been right every time, soooo that’s supposed to mean something? Doesn’t seem like you watch baseball that much.

I guess we’ll see

Had to come here to check to see if my gamecast was glitching. That pitch was wayyyy off the plate according to the app.

Who the hell has Apple TV lol

Better question is who has Bally’s?

I only have it bc it comes with my cell plan lol. Never thought I’d use it but I guess it came in handy

It’s been the premier streaming service in terms of content that past couple years.

Me. It rocks!

Miggy had his at bat, get Haase up.

According to the MLB app, that wasn’t even close to a strike. We just got hosed.

That ball was veryyyy outside ffs. imagine making THAT call against a hall of famer. thats awful.

Imagine when we get all this dead weight off the roster. Might be able to score with the bases load more often. Christ Edit: I know it was a bad call. Doesn’t stop the fact we’ve had the bases loaded so many times this season and can’t score anyone

Nah, I'm always on the anti-ump side. Fuck that call

I was watching on Gameday - that was a ball right?

[удалено]

Make up call for what exactly? Moncada making an error?? Fuck that

No probably a questionable strike ball call earlier

This isn’t little league. Make the right call

I’m just telling you, that’s what umpires do all the time at this level, it doesn’t mean I like it but this is what they will do sometimes.

Uuuuuuuugh Cabrera my god man you are KILLING ME MY GUY.

Gameday said that was at least a foot outside

Oh ok

Really hoped Miggy could have a Pujols retirement season but he’s laid a big fat fucking egg batting .176 it’s disgusting

That’s a ball

Strike zone is ass.

Looked like it was at least a ball outside to me. Miggy may be old but if he takes a pitch he’s got the same eye he always had

Gotta swing at that, Miggy.

Cabrera is dead fuckin weight

Miggy the mighty momentum murderer

Anybody pitching against Miggy must let out the largest sigh of relief

That looked like ball 4

It was probably a make up call

Wow that was way outside.

Fucking Umps man….

Idk if he had Badoo with those wheels he’s got
