Minor has now beaten the Sox twice* since 2020, something no other left-handed starter in MLB can say. Flashbacks to the era where we just added "Cy" to the name of any Royals starter because they all shut down the Sox every start.
* yes I realize one of those was technically a no-decision, but the Royals won the game"Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."

The good news (aside from Rodon's free-agent value taking a hit) is that Abreu swung the bat well tonight after Friday's injury.
Rodon didn't pitch well tonight. He gave up some two-strike hits that hurt him, and the Royals ramped up their offensive pressure, something White Sox hitters weren't able to reciprocate.
I wonder if there was any sort of a letdown after sweeping the Twins. Following the Twins series with a split pair of seven-inning games, with the Abreu injury coming just after he gave the Sox a 1-0, has to feel out of sync. Did they really lose the game on the next pitch after Abreu came out of the game?
The Sox head to Minnesota for three more against the Twins before a weekend series in New York. Sunday would be a nice time to get back on track.

Someone who didn’t watch the game wouldn’t have seen this, as it is isn’t reflected in the box scores.

The Sox have not played well since MLB made them wear those godawful caps.“It's not the high price of stardom that bothers me...it's the high price of mediocrity." - Bill Veeck
"If I was going to storm a pillbox, going to sheer, utter, certain death, and the Colonel said 'Shepherd, pick six guys", I'd pick six White Sox fans because they have known death every day of their lives and it holds no terror for them." - Jean Shepherd

Rodon got squeezed badly by the home plate umpire’s wildly erratic strike zone.

I didn't watch the game, but the first hitter of the game doubled on a 1-1 pitch from Rodon, and Rodon gave up the crucial 3-run homer on a 1-2 pitch. I know it's upsetting when you see your pitcher not getting close pitches, but it wasn't simply a matter of Rodon getting squeezed.Riding Shotgun on the Sox Bandwagon since before there was an Internet...
