Time to flex on ChiSox
Altuve finished the Rays series at 2191 career hits, second among active players and tied for 193rd all time.
Dana Brown has got a lot right. If he says Chas will pick it up who am I to question that?
astros had a 44.5% chance of getting to the playoffs on august 5th. 8 wins later and we're at 82.5%. never doubt the stros
Let's go astros and thank you detroit for getting the win
We need a htownwheelhouse and Eric funko pop set
it has to be the wind
Can we talk about McCormick and him being an automatic OUT every AB
JP3 swinging for the seats
Even when they had the big win streak last year no one was in the stands
Chas needs to go. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time but he’s just not cutting it. His batting problems have now spread to fielding problems. Send him to Sugerland.
Looks like the Astros are not going to face Cannon. He shut them out last time.
Chaz had a 840 OPS last year with 24 homeruns. Man just fell off a cliff this year
I'd give Chaz the white Sox series. Let him play all 3 games and give him the full slate of AB's from the 9 hole. Sink or swim time. Anything less than 4 for 10 or 3 for 9, and his time on the big club for 2024 should come to a close. It doesn't feel as pressing right now because Tucker is out. But once he's back, Chaz is the obvious weak link. I like that he's getting an abundance of opportunities, but I'd rather Dubon get those AB's past the CWS series.
Great win but I’m a little concerned with Desenzo’s defense at first. Missed two balls that should have been outs. You can’t give the better teams extra outs!
You really trust Leon’s defense over Chas’ defense?
I was glad Estrada didn’t put Presley in for the 8th inning, but Abreu gives up a run. Frustrating.
So I'm wondering what is the difference in the bats now ? What are we doing differently? Why is Bregman so different now? Is he taking something different? Is he using different bats?? What is it ?
Mccormick has to go , we don't have time for that or the mistakes at first , that puts a spur taste in the mouths of the pitchers , have to make those plays
Dezenzo had a tough day at first yesterday…a really tough day. I hope he gets that worked out. Two errors in three innings isn't playoff performance.
We are getting hot at the right time. But this division battle is far from over. I like our chances with the leadership we have in the club house, but it definitely ain’t time to buy our Playoff Bound t shirts.
Even though they lost the series, Chicago dropped 12 runs on the Yankees in that first game. Gotta keep our heads down and keep handling business. If Breggy stays hot, we get Tuck and JV back, I like out chances. Keep grinding boys 🤘🏼💫🚂
Never under estimate the heart of a champion 😅
We are closing in on Yankees to get bye in first round
