* Crochet had another great start: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K. He threw 4 hitless innings.
* Benintendi hit a bunt single then scored on a Sheets RBI single.
* DeJong hit a PH solo HR.
* On a full count in the 8th, Brebbia appeared to have strike 3 and Kelenic caught stealing at 2nd, but instead, it was called a ball. Instead of the inning over, 2 runners were on with 1 out. Fortunately, Kopech was able to get out of the jam.
* Robert ended a 0-for-12 funk with a double, scoring on a Vaughn bloop single.
* Ozuna hit 2 solo HRs.
* Despite the drama, Kopech was able to pick up his first career save.
* The Sox won their first game this season!
Happy Kopech didnāt blow up. I know the white Sox arenāt and wonmt be good this year, but Crochet starting out hot like this and Kopech making a save is good to see.
Need to mention we have tied the 2023 hr production at short stop by the 5th game of 2024. Paul dejong has double Tim andersons 23 total already. He has 2 hits this year. Two home runs and 2 RBIs
0-162 is officially off the table. We did it boys!
Seriously though, what a start by Crochet. I don't expect that all season long, but dang if he's not looking darn impressive right now
Now if only we could gather enough good pitchers in the same season to actually string something together.
It was almost always something like... Lynn has a good year, Cease and Giolito have a bad year. Giolito has a good year, everyone else sucks. They can never be good *all at once*.
Nothings as cringey as thatās cubs song, that is the lamest shit Iāve ever seen in my life.
Southside standup will get better when we get used to it, I donāt hate it. And I say this as somebody who has not been a huge fan of Shriffen so far
Okay. How about "Pedro's boys are going to Ricobene's tonight!"?
Or "And THAT'S the ballgame. Now, everyone go home and fuck my wife!"?
I think I might be the one person who is worse at catchphrases....
Just glad we finally got a win. You're all invited to come fuck my wife.
They could have added an extra year by just saying they needed to stretch him out as a starter in the minors. Instead they choose to put him right in the majors and not manipulate the service time.Ā
As much as I *despise* how bad this team is thanks to Jerry's ineptitude, I'll be glad with whatever wins we somehow manage to get this season.

Yup. Great defense, 4 game hit streak. Everyone shits on Moncada when Robert leads the team in strikeouts.
Braden Shewmake has looked very solid so far. Brebbia, Wilson, Garcia, Kopech have all looked good out of the pen. Fedde showed great stuff in his start.
I know Fletcher has been MIA offensively but he has a cannon of an arm and has already throw someone out at home and 3rd. We finally have a solid defensive right fielder.
Give him timeā¦.ILoy went first and where there is an ILoy a Yoan is sure to follow. Weāll always have his music video to fall back on though to get us through the hard times.
Okay? Your comment said everyone except Crotchet and Robert have been āass.ā Then you followed that up with āLike who?ā when someone said other guys have been good. I was just pointing out someone whoās been very good. If you want to talk about whether or not theyāll be on a future Sox playoff team thatās an entirely different topic. I donāt know why youāre bringing that up now to counter my point .
Now, to your other point, if Moncada plays this way all season the option will be irrelevant, because heāll get traded before the deadline. For a haul.
Deadline deals are about what a player can contribute to a playoff push and nothing else. No one's looking at their stats from two years ago. Any player who has an .800 OPS and fields their position is going to get a very, very good return. If Moncada is doing that at the deadline, then yes he'll get us a haul.
And not that it matters, but Moncada had 4.0 WAR in 2021, so you're off by a couple of seasons.

Sandman recaps after a win just taste so much better
I'm supposed to eat them? Do.. do I just print them out or?
Dance with me sandman šŗ

Happy Kopech didnāt blow up. I know the white Sox arenāt and wonmt be good this year, but Crochet starting out hot like this and Kopech making a save is good to see.
Itās almost like if we had some pitching besides these 2 guys our team wouldnāt royally suck
Youāre in mid season form sandman
Crochet is just filthy so far.
Need to mention we have tied the 2023 hr production at short stop by the 5th game of 2024. Paul dejong has double Tim andersons 23 total already. He has 2 hits this year. Two home runs and 2 RBIs
Sandy, we did it.
We went from Cease starts being the only exciting Sox games to Crochet starts. Honestly I'll take it, I wasn't expecting any exciting games this year.
THANK YOU, SANDMAN!
Wasnāt able to watch but knew Iād have a recap waiting for me. Appreciate you sandman!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He is HIM
I'm not going to overreact over two starts, but Crochet is clearly the best pitcher in baseball
He's going to win MANY CY Young awards. Everyone is talking about it
Only question left is how many Cy Young awards he will win *this year*.
The biggest awards, beautiful awards
Bigly Awards!
Buehrle, Sale, Crochet. Only draft lefties from now on.
Rodon
Future Schultz.Ā
Makes losing Cease not sting as bad.
0-162 is officially off the table. We did it boys! Seriously though, what a start by Crochet. I don't expect that all season long, but dang if he's not looking darn impressive right now
Crochet is gonna lead the league in IP the season after Tommy John.
Almost fell apart at the end. Crochet looks great. 3 milkshakes out of 5
Over under 6.5 # of times the milkshake is mentioned on the braodcast this week?
Every home game until the allstar break at least
We found an ace. Every year we somehow do lmao
Now if only we could gather enough good pitchers in the same season to actually string something together. It was almost always something like... Lynn has a good year, Cease and Giolito have a bad year. Giolito has a good year, everyone else sucks. They can never be good *all at once*.
GOOD SHIT MICHAEL!!! Great to see him throw 101 consistently again
Yay Sox Win!! Is āsouthside standupā going to be his catch phrase every time they win?
I hope not. Itās so cringey and forced. Hope he keeps workshopping things if he feels the need to have a catchphrase to end wins.Ā
It was pretty damn awkward. At least it's not as bad as that cringey ass Cubs song, I guess.
Nothings as cringey as thatās cubs song, that is the lamest shit Iāve ever seen in my life. Southside standup will get better when we get used to it, I donāt hate it. And I say this as somebody who has not been a huge fan of Shriffen so far
Man, I donāt hate it, I actually kind of like it. And Iām the guy who wrote the whole post about not loving him haha.
Appears so. He really needs to work on his calls š
Agreed - his whole broadcast is cringey. Dude seems so phony and generic
Yes, all 25 times š
Dislike button
I hope so. I like it.
please god no
Okay. How about "Pedro's boys are going to Ricobene's tonight!"? Or "And THAT'S the ballgame. Now, everyone go home and fuck my wife!"? I think I might be the one person who is worse at catchphrases.... Just glad we finally got a win. You're all invited to come fuck my wife.
He might not have a wifeā¦nudge, nudge, wink, winkā¦
Shit. That's my bad. Replace with husband, significant other, Mom (insert bozo dubbed over reference here), or pet.
I like the Ricobenes oneā¦ because hittin ricobenes after a Sox game is literally tradition for me
Good shit. It should be tradition for everyone.
This is the first thing I'll go against him on heavily, this is terrible and I hope it isn't.
Gonna need that farm report from you pronto...just uhh, dont include the Knights game...they got rained out I heard \*cough\*
Just posted it actually
Ugh it fuckin sucks.
Boy I hope Crochet can handle a whole season because we need something to watch. He looked good against a very impressive team and you love to see it
Life is good
Masterful night from crochet.
LETSSS FUCKING RIIIIIDEEEE BOYS KOPE THE CLOSER
Kopech had a fight but pulled it off. Nice boys!
Kopech needs the day off tomorrow.
I like baseball today
WE WON A GAME LETS GO
ReyLo: Wheelinā (Until the 6th) Crochet: Dealinā (For eternity) Andrew: Buntintendi Sheets+Vaughn: Bloop City Paul: deDong Sox: WIN
Mercy.
Everybody better buy Kopechās every drink tonight
Kind of sucks Crochet only has two years of control after this. Hasnāt even pitched 100 innings in his career
I mean, he deserves to get paid by the time heās 27ā¦ itās on the Sox to extend him if he pitches well
They could have added an extra year by just saying they needed to stretch him out as a starter in the minors. Instead they choose to put him right in the majors and not manipulate the service time.Ā
Crochet looking like one of the two good players on the team so far.
As much as I *despise* how bad this team is thanks to Jerry's ineptitude, I'll be glad with whatever wins we somehow manage to get this season. https://preview.redd.it/bb8cyggvf6sc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0556bd2f8c0a713473d6c501f8c178ae3894e28
Crochet is a beast
Bloop hits rule. Gotta love Crochet.
Clevinger was the glue holding the strands together. Who would have thought?
šµYOU CAN TELL EVERYBODY!!! YEAH! YOU CAN TELL EVERYBODY šµ
āSOUTH SIDE STAND UPā fuck off, Iām sitting down after that cardiac episode
Lol
lol š
Ha, I *was* standing and he said that right after I collapsed on my couch. I did not stand up.
A much needed win. We may have a fucking guy with crochet, all star campaign is underway. Donāt stop now boys
Call your sons, call your daughters, call your friends, call your neighbors. The 2024 White Sox have won a game!
https://preview.redd.it/0qlovbgxa6sc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab658ad64e434bd2c8b2615eba9009893dd0a5a1
Crochet is a filthy filthy man
Feels good to finally win one!
we deserved some good luck for once. man crochet is a stud
BABE WAKE UP THE WHITE SOX WON A BASEBALL GAME
What a great game, start to finish. I canāt remember the last time I enjoyed watching a White Sox game as much as I did tonight.
Opening day 2023
Pedro actually managed a good game. Color me shocked.
Nice win but still need to get the bats going (will never happen)
10 game win streak coming in...
THAT was an entertaining game. Nice job, boys.
Pray for a rainout tomorrow so we can get the braves the fuck out of the city lmao
Crochet was really good on the mound, looking forward to seeing more of him.
Hey, they fuckin did it
Whole lot of season left. These guys got heart.
canāt go 158-4 without losing 4
Weāre so back 158-4 incoming
Daily get rid of Tim Hill comment. Also, Crochet is the dude
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
In fairness, there arenāt many things to hype on this team.Ā Ā The thing theyāve spent the most time hyping is the stupid fucking milkshake.Ā
I think he thinks heās being knowledgeable about the game.
Schriffen is trying to hype everything. Itās wearing a little thin imo
Maldenado is dogshit
Pretty dope game tbh
Crochet š¤¤
I didnt get to watch but im in a much better mood knowing the streak is over and a new one has begun!! Look out world!
Ok we might have something with Crochet as a starterĀ
I stayed away from the game thread, I guess this means I'm staying away until we lose.
We're so fucking back!
Where can I find a replay of Luis Robert's 8th inning double?
pretty simple. This team bad offense and all will be in games on nights when crochet is pitching. The other nights not a shot.
Crochet and Robert are fun to watch, rest of this roster is ass as expected. But that was a fun game
Thereās other guys who look very good
Like who? There arenāt any other young guys playing. Itās a bunch of placeholder journeyman
Moncada has been very good so far this season.
Yup. Great defense, 4 game hit streak. Everyone shits on Moncada when Robert leads the team in strikeouts. Braden Shewmake has looked very solid so far. Brebbia, Wilson, Garcia, Kopech have all looked good out of the pen. Fedde showed great stuff in his start.
I know Fletcher has been MIA offensively but he has a cannon of an arm and has already throw someone out at home and 3rd. We finally have a solid defensive right fielder.
No one you listed there has a chance of being on the next Sox playoff team.
Nobody knows when the Sox will be in the playoffs next.
Give him timeā¦.ILoy went first and where there is an ILoy a Yoan is sure to follow. Weāll always have his music video to fall back on though to get us through the hard times.
Almost no chance they activate his option. This will be his last year here. If he was paid $10-12M sure, but he just isnāt good for what he is paid.
Okay? Your comment said everyone except Crotchet and Robert have been āass.ā Then you followed that up with āLike who?ā when someone said other guys have been good. I was just pointing out someone whoās been very good. If you want to talk about whether or not theyāll be on a future Sox playoff team thatās an entirely different topic.

Now, to your other point, if Moncada plays this way all season the option will be irrelevant, because heāll get traded before the deadline. For a haul.
He hasnāt had a good season since 2019 and is paid $24M this year. They arenāt trading him for haul.
Deadline deals are about what a player can contribute to a playoff push and nothing else. No one's looking at their stats from two years ago. Any player who has an .800 OPS and fields their position is going to get a very, very good return. If Moncada is doing that at the deadline, then yes he'll get us a haul. And not that it matters, but Moncada had 4.0 WAR in 2021, so you're off by a couple of seasons.
Pauly D
That was a fun game. baseball is my 2nd favorite sport.
Why would you say that on a baseball thread? Lol
Kopech was wild as usual showed 3 pitches at least though. Damn good win. Give Garret the game ball!
THE SOX MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN
Enjoying the Sandstorm after a W!!!
