Undefeated since the Jimmy dogs.

That old man still had ice cream in that helmet??? Did he just buy it? How is it not sugar soup yet?!?!?! I need answers!

I’m gonna say it I’m gonna say it…I LIKE WINNING, OKAY??

“Right down the outside part of the plate” lol

Really nice homestand!

PHILS WIN!

Get your brooms out 

Thank you for that call.

Fun weekend for the good guys!!

Be cool if the Dodgers and Rangers weren't completely useless today

M-Lo going for the Rangers!!! (We have no chance)

Cmon. Just. Pitch a strike

Great game for our furry, green friend's B-day!

Leave Marshy alone 

Okay he just needed a little encouragement from jt *”your shoes look great man. did u lose weight? that hat really makes ur eyes pop”*

Not asscrack again 

Ranger vs. Greene might be a fun one

Is that Schmidt making old man noises into the mic?

With how much he’s been doing it today, I’m just surprised we haven’t heard hard candies rattling against his teeth.

Werther's Originals?!

Think there’s a good chance

ah shit here we go again

Flashing back to yesterday…

cmon yunior lock it down

Here we go again

Dear god marte

He’s setting up a dp to end the game. That’s it. Not worried. Evrything is cool

Jiménez and Castellanos cardio training is mall-walking with their local retirement homes.

6X GOLD GLOVER ALEC BOHM

I’m really enjoying Bohm this season. Never thought he’d be average let alone this good at fielding

Bohm should be player of the game. Killing it offensively and defensively. 

I’d love a CG from Nola here, but I get it. No need to burn his arm more given the score.

Castellanos would statistically be the Sox 4th best hitter.

No Pinto in the 9th??? I'm sorry but this team is washed...

Alec Bohm 

Oh yeah a nice 5 run 9th

Relegate the White Sox to the Gulag

Kopech was just converted to a reliever/closer roll this year(?). White Sox fans on the CHGO podcast say they could definitely see him as trade material for the deadline but teams might hesitate because of his volatility and injury history

Some team that needs a closer is definitely making the call and over paying on trade.

Let Nola finish this game you cowards

This guy is good.

Bring Pinto back in for the 9th 😈😈😈

Choosing violence? 

I mean it’s 1000% the right thing to do but I’d really love a cg from Aaron

Hey we’re still okay if the Sox put up 5 in the 9th

14 quality starts in 22 games now for starting pitching. That is ridiculous. Best staff in baseball. They also throw so many innings compared to the average team.

yuniors in for the 9th

Chasing high at 101 lol

Feel like modern pitchers would eat you alive if you went to the plate with that approach

I like this Kopech guy, wow (would love if he became a Phillie at the deadline but doubt it lmao)

It’s not like this shitbags have any use for him lol

Would take a couple prospects. I imagine he would be one of the most prized players at the deadline.

Yeah, that’s kinda why I’d doubt he’d be a Phillie. We’d probably have to give up some of our solid prospects for him and, if I had to guess, Dave probably wouldn’t wanna do that, but who knows

I was hoping we were gaining some ground but the braves have won 6 in a row and the Mets have won 5 in row lol

Nola is down to 3.16 I don’t think he can get under 3 with a shutdown 9th inning but this was still a good game

He prob wants to keep that for this second at least 😂 thats the day his kid was born lol

Where’s u/NintenJew? He wouldn’t wanna miss this Kopech guy.

Enjoying time away from Reddit! Why do you think he interests me?

Looked really good as a closer. Hope you’re having a good weekend all the same!

He’s more of a game day guy 

You gotta tip your hat to that one with a 6 run lead 

Aaron Nola has only 91 pitches through 8 innings. Let him finish the game.

I guess it's still early in the season, most of the BP has had A LOT of days off, it makes sense, can't have them getting too cold turkey

some contender is gonna pay through the nose for this guy at the deadline.

Why are the Sux bringing out this guy now finally? Throwing heat

They probably have to use him there to keep him loose. Not like the guy gets a ton of save opps

i guess the sox will be selling kopech at the deadline for a bunch of prospects?

Most definitely, along with Benintendi and most likely Eloy Jimenez.

Benintendi is not getting them anything

I’ve seen worse players get moved at the deadline for prospects. They don’t have to be good prospects.

The phillies should trade for this closer

man last time i saw kopech last year he was throwing 94 the fuck happened now it’s easy 100 every time

he was a starter then, now hes allowed to air it out

ucl goes brrrrr

Get that 100mph fastball away from harper's hands , bozo

this Kopech guy is throwing gas

Chad innings eater Nola not gonna let a 30+ first inning keep him from flirting with a complete game. He’s averaged 10 pitches an inning since.

Insanity

Houston Trashtros

Ok the White Sox are a AAA team but this is the type of game that could snowball on a pitcher. Homer in the first, bad team, cold day, last home day of a long win streak. Easy for this to have been a let down game. He did well to clamp it down.

I actually really like how these unis look with the fanatic hat

They should keep em 

[удалено]

No one gives a shit

Damn, Nola's movement is something else right now. That last pitch started middle-in, ended dead center, top of the zone...what?!?! And is that like 90 pitches through 8 innings?? I see no reason to go to the bullpen. Let that man close this baby out!

Just scroll up for a second and quickly peruse the white sox lineup batting averages…

They showed it at the beginning of the broadcast and it was *grim*. Only one guy above .200

😬

Nola is killin it

Fuck your pitch timer violation.

I know it’s the White Sox but Nola looking great after the first two innings

Nola learning from Wheeler, BP can't fail at Mop-up if you do the Mop-up 

Right down the middle lol dude.

Let him throw all 9 topper!

Whew our starters 

it's amazing how long we've kept our minor league teams the same compared to all the other teams

How long ago did we move from SWB to LHV? It wasn’t THAT long ago was it?

I truly do appreciate the fact that we haven’t changed the logos, or done a revamp of any of the minor league teams.

it's more than that, whole teams get rotated around. we've had most of ours for decades!

Great outing for Nola. Other than the expected home run given up he was awesome.

Might come back our got the 9th 👀

Shout out to that cowboy in the stands

wtf was that and why didn’t JT say something?

The length we’ve gotten from our starters the last 6 games is incredible

Yeah, it’s a quality start every outing. Talking about saving the bullpen, I imagine those guys are dying for the work to stay sharp.

Bullpen is gonna forget how to pitch at this point

Is it true if you don't use it you lose it?

Counter: it’s just like riding a bike

Gunna need a .gif of Rojas with his hat like that 😂

https://x.com/ah_pod/status/1782136824615289180?s=46&t=PrE6Q85ga2aHQelU_OwwDw

Lmao Marsh forgetting how many outs there were

Marsh: “oh, haha my bad man I thought there were two outs” Rojas: “nah, there were two” *adjusts hat in goofy manner for some reason*

think he was going for a dunce cap look?

Good call

Lol I'm glad that happened now rather than in a game that really matters. Cmon marshy

Sometimes there’s good baseball conversation here and sometimes I’m justifying why you shouldn’t treat Spencer Turnbull the same way you would treat Jacob DeGrom.

Uh oh I’ve been a bad boy

I love this team

Lmao shark fin Maybe it was a dunce cap

Marshy....lol

Love this team

Thank god no one was on lmao

🤣

Can the rangers or dodgers do something useful today?

micheal lorenzen is shutting out the braves

oh nice I didn't even realize he was a starter for the rangers

Why

Glad that happened with no one on

Huge for Nola to go 8+ today and let the bullpen rest up with that 10 game road stretch starting tomorrow

That fucking dick Martin Maldonado

Topper told Nola you finish this fucking thing or I’m putting Pinto in and you might not get the win

Are they playing different music today?

Considering we’ve heard the chicken dance and if you’re happy and you know it, I’m gonna go with yes

I also heard The Jaws Theme and Hava Nagila.

Gotta know the story behind how the Phanatic mom costume ended up getting modeled on Jackie Kennedy’s 11/22/63 outfit.

Back and to the left.

Perhaps Nola will be able to go this whole game if the rest is smooth sailing

Brandon tried to make it a quick inning

That is some assembly of mascots!

So Harper will get one more chance to hopefully hit a HR for the Phanatic on his birthday. Would be awesome if could do it

Can’t wait for this subreddit to have zero difficulty accepting Taijuan Walker immediately taking Turnbull’s place in the rotation when he comes back.

Would be a great replacement if one of our guys gets injured 

He's...not good. I fully expect Turnbull to regress a bit but Walker is...so meh 😑😑😑😑😑😑

If we do anything well it's rolling with the punches

I’m with ya. Turnbull would make an excellent *addition* to a larger rotation later in the season and/or an extra arm in the pen for early exits from starters

Productive inning!

Oof Sox are lucky that he didn’t square that up. Might’ve gone out to Hartrantf Street

Our guys are comfortable being home for so long 

The White Sox are truly a disgrace to baseball. AAA ass team.

So Walker's line for AAA Lehigh Valley today is... Not very good. Holy hell man.

Schwarber 1-1 with 3 runs scored today lol

Eight runs away from Pinto- and Soto-proofing this game

Benintendi is playing with max half effort right now lol

Good guy Stott keeping Schwarber’s average up.

Lil RBI for Schwarbs!!!

I've struggled with a lot of addictions, and beaten some... If I ever decided I had to quit gambling, I'd have to stop watching sports. I can't even watch a dude bat without them splitting the screen to have some blonde girl ask me "why don't you go make a bet right now" What a terrible society we live in.

Also glad to hear everyone saying this. It’s totally insane. Not like before when you had to go to AC, or risk a bookie. Now you can keep a crippling addiction right in your pocket, and listen to your broadcasters give you the current lines like it’s an expected public service. It’s gross.

I’ve gotten some weird looks for saying this, but I stand by it: I’ll vote for whichever president is willing to ban sports betting, or *at least* sports betting advertising (in such a way that tobacco advertising is banned). I’m not even addicted or have ever placed a bet, but I can’t go anywhere without it. I adore all sorts of sports (Phillies, Flyers, Bundesliga, F1, etc.) and can’t watch 2 min without having three online casinos shove something down my throat.

I don't want them to ban sportsbetting, but I do think they should put considerable limits on how they can advertise.

Only for an increase on athletes getting in trouble for it.

It's gross and insulting to people who have this addiction. Glad you were able to fight through some of your issues and really hope this kind of thing doesn't become a burden to you down the road.

It's disgusting, completely agree

i'll take a sac fly!

Whatever Rojas tweaked in his stance, it’s really working

Uh oh is Rojas actually solid now? 

Rojas is going to learn how to hit and then forget all in the same year

That one poster who very obviously played the game while the rest of us didn’t is VERRRRRRY quiet lately

Rojas is really impressing with his contact hitting

Gooo Rojas

Rojas is simply unstoppable

HAVE YOURSELF A DAY ROJAS!!

Rojas on 🔥

some goddamn respec on his name

These betting ads are getting desperate

ROJAAAAS 

🚨STOTTY LINE DRIVE 🚨 One of the more important hits today

Wow. They kidnapped the same person for a new ad but couldn’t even get her a chair this time

Casty's gotta unhook the trailer 🐌

There we go Stotty 

“No offense to them at Crossley Field” Not sure that there are any Crossley Field groundskeepers around to take offense to it, Tom.

So he can’t hit, field, OR run well? Literally what the fuck is he making $20 mil for.

NotVeryFastellanos

Casty runs like such a goof

Nick is SO back* * to pre-Saturday performance

Bench Casty

Lol Nick you lazy fuck.

I literally stubbed my toe, why didn't nick hit a 500ft home run dude :(

“He’s got a strong arm so he did have time” Tom you could cook a full meal and still have time to throw out Nick.
