Every starter other than Burger had a hit. Gutsy performance from a banged up pitching staff. Sousa got unlucky then made a mistake to Miguel, but got the ball to Banks and Graveman with the lead. Kelly back tomorrow. Hopefully Liam is available soon.

Great job by the offense today to put up a cushion for the short-handed pitching staff. Jose is doing that thing he tends to do once or twice a year where he carries the offense by himself for a couple weeks at a time. Others had good games (Pollock, Leury for example), but it’s the power that Jose provided that the offense has really been missing. Nice to see Robert get a couple hits, but his plate approach is so off right now, flailing at every first pitch slider that is a foot outside of the zone. He can get by on pure talent, but he’s not going to be a consistent hitter until he cleans that up.
Excellent job by Banks and Graveman stepping up to pitch for a second straight day, especially Banks who went nearly 40 pitches yesterday and pitched a clean inning. Sousa is still not pitching well, it scares the hell out of me whenever he’s in the game with runners on base. La Russa keeps turning to him to face lefties, but lefties are hitting .371/.439/.543 off of him. He was lucky to escape the 7th with a lead, and lucky to go unscathed in the 8th after giving up 3 straight rockets that were hit right at defenders. 2 of them probably would have been HRs in most other parks in the league. Maybe in 24 out of 30, if I had to guess.
Anyway, it’s about time a little luck went the Sox way. But Hahn needs to pull a trade for a LH reliever sooner than later.

FWIW, I have no problem that the Sox seem to be shifting more this year, and in fact it worked a couple times later in the game. That's what you hope for, that it helps more often than it hurts. Ozzie had a comment post-game that the shifting decision shouldn't just be based on the hitter - it should be based on the pitcher as well. Certain guys are easier to go opposite way against, for a variety of reasons (velocity, tendency to pitch inside vs. away, type of pitch, etc.). That's definitely true, but I have no idea whether McEwing (and the analytics team) take the pitcher into account (and neither does Ozzie). I would hope they do.
