Today’s rubber game lineup might actually be halfway decent for the White Sox, against a Dodgers left-handed pitcher.
It’s also Joe Kelly’s birthday.
There are some great views of the stadium today. Can this weather be better? I do not think so.
Danny Mendick continues to be an asset.
Can we give Danny a chance every day 2B when Anderson returns?

And the White Sox continue to block runners.
WOOO no more runners stuck on base! This team rocks! Go go White Sox!

Dylan Cease quite possibly had the worst call I’ve seen in years.
what was that last call? it SPLIT THE PLATE
— Janice (@scuriiosa) June 9, 2022
Gavin Lux got caught stealing and Yasmani Grandal fired a cannon!
Yas threw a runner ????

Right after, Steve Stone started chatting about TikTok. What does sound mean For you Page look like? Wrong answers only.

We saw Grandal do something good and then Josh Harrison decided to get a triple.
Seeing Harrison get a triple from Betts was pretty cool and funny
— Chef Eric (@superthisway) June 9, 2022
Now it’s 1-0, Good Guys.
That’s how you do it. Danny Mendick takes it 0-2 and puts the ball in second for Josh Harrison to score.

But arbitration.
This is the worst ump I have ever seen. The strike zone is absolutely brutal.

AJ Pollock is back for some more revenge. It’s now 2-0 Sox with his hit.
Someone found this tweet from earlier this year where he said Pollock would suck early on, but we’ll end up loving him on the White Sox. Accurate look!
—Joshua Tapper (@TapCityBaby) June 9, 2022
(The tweeter was Dodgers fan and Trevor Bauer’s nemesis, Molly Knight.)
Adam Engel was hit by a pitch and Harrison hit the sacrifice fly to make it 4-0. The White Sox are hitting lefties and righties, given that Tyler Anderson was drawn at fourth.
Is this “Josh Harrison’s game”?
— Brian S (@MagnificentStan) June 9, 2022
Pleasant.
Cease began to struggle in the sixth and Jake Burger’s error loaded the bases with just one out.
One thing is for sure, Dylan Cease can handle Mookie Betts.
This Dodgers team is a cheat. Hit Betts only for Freddie Freeman to come right after.
— Steve Morck (@YourBoyStove) June 9, 2022
Tony La Russa might be asleep. It’s 5-4 LA and Cease is still there, facing Will Smith.
Let’s wait for our starter to leave 5 runs and two more base runners before firing him when he’s over 100 pitches. #ChangeTheGame
—Steve Stapley (@SteveStapley) June 9, 2022
I’ve seen managers fired for less.
I’m not kidding when I say this, this is the worst run baseball team I’ve ever seen in my life.

Evergreen.
Why the White Sox?
– Ethan Katz’s personal assistant (@Emicristina1010) June 9, 2022
It was a very bad run.
this inning is why the dodgers will be in the world series this year and the white sox will miss the playoffs tweet
— Adam le doesn’t look directly at the sunworm (@trislerstudz) June 9, 2022
It was a really good game until the fifth, I promise.
Jake Burger atones for his mistakes and puts the Sox within a point.
Jake Burger becomes Nick Castellanos-lite in terms of “bat good enough to move a terrible glove”
— Bennett Karoll (@TheBennettK) June 9, 2022
Jake Burger is now tied for the team lead in home runs and has played just 34 games.
I can’t wait to keep Leury, Harrison and Sheets when Tim comes back—Joe Latham (@jnez50) June 9, 2022
Honestly, why is TLR here?
Tony La Russa intentionally walks a batter in a 1-2 count and the batter’s next home run is probably the most dismissable offense I’ve literally EVER seen from a manager. This is spamming the wrong button in the wrong level of The Show. https://t.co/PYvThlBEFi
— Max Mannis (@MaxMannis) June 9, 2022
Are we still enjoying the ride?
Oh Boy Stoney just said you NEVER see anyone walking with 2 shots. When HE 2nd guesses…. Oh man! White Sox Baseball…we’re changing the game EVERY DAY!
— WhiteSoxSuz (@WhiteSoxSuz) June 9, 2022
A lot of people seem to be missing Ricky Renteria right now.
say what you will about ricky renteria but i never felt this level of desperation with any of the games he managed
— (@likedemolition) June 9, 2022
Ricky Renteria wouldn’t intentionally walk a guy on a 1-2 count.
— Scotty Flemdawg (@flemdawg97) June 9, 2022
We’ve reached the bottom of the seventh, and it’s 10-5.
This recap is just going to be dark from this post and on and on.
It’s a weird feeling to see an opposing player insult my team manager, and I’m 100% on the player’s side
— Bayek of Sowa (@SowaTheArrogant) June 9, 2022
Either way, the Sox get a few runs in the eighth.
Gotta make it interesting at least
— Chef Eric (@superthisway) June 9, 2022
It’s still bad, even after the sorry excuse of a comeback.
Moncada still enters the game but NOT in PH for Harrison?? Instead, we choose to remove one of the few hot bats from the lineup, okay
— Liddle Tina (@liddle_ktina) June 9, 2022
Today was TLR’s magnum opus. A complete master class work of art!
— Ian Jacobs (@WSoxSeatAtTable) June 9, 2022
This game is packed. It’s now 11-9, Dodgers.
AJ Pollock has a three-hitter game. Two of them stayed in the infield, one bounced off the wall. It first represents the equalizing point.
—James Fegan (@JRFegan) June 9, 2022
Gavin has a chance to be a hero.
Gavin Sheets takeover at bat?
— Michael Shure (@shure_michael) June 9, 2022
(He was no hero.)
The Sox scored nine runs in a Dylan Cease start where he allowed no unearned runs. Pretty impressive that they found a way to lose.
