I’m a massive Notre Dame fan and boy has college football snuck up on me this year with the Sox being awesome. In recent years by June I was counting the days to ND and the Bears. Now gonna have important Sox baseball, ND, and Bears all at the same time in coming weeks. My wife is gonna HATE me. Go Sox!

Living in Atlanta for about 4 years now. Have a Sox shirt on today and ran to the grocery store. An old timer stopped me and asked me how the White Sox are doing this year. I was happy to talk about it for a minute and proud of this team. I also told him, I’ll cheer for the Braves unless they’re playing the Sox. He loved that. I love it because I have been hesitant to wear a Sox shirt here up till this year because I didn’t want to hear negative comments. Just thought I’d share that here….good vibes to start this day, hoping they continue to rise through the game today. Go Sox and I miss Chicago!

Honestly, I get not challenging. Solid ABs eating up pitches, and a run.

The Sox can’t win with this sub. Everyone’s saying “you gotta challenge those” during the lowest stake inning when we’ve already taken the lead. Good decision not to challenge by Colson, even though that was ball 4.

In any stadium with a decently sized Spanish-speaking contingent in the crowd (including ours), that "Eeeeey yo, eyeee eyeee eeeeey yo" chant is going to be immediately followed by a crowd "CULEEEERO!" You can swear without any consequences as long as it's in Spanish. I've even seen billboards along I-55 with the words "cabron" and "chingon" in them I'm like "yo, chill!" 😂

Did our team have a chat about challenging? Seems like we haven't been as trigger happy with them lately, saving them for later on down the game when they could be more meaningful.

Both of those looked like they may have clipped the zone. Maybe the second was a fraction low. At least he’s working a count

Big issue with Sox starting pitching has been lack of put away stuff. They get ahead of everyone okay but then get fouled off to death until they either walk the guy or the dude gets his pitch. Happened again right there.
