Easily one of the biggest wins of the season. If the Sox win the division, this game will be a major reason why.

Great come from behind victory after a horrible start with 7 straight Ks.
That's 3 straight series wins in a row, keep doing that and we should be right there at the end. We need to take 3 in Oakland, a sweep would be great. Twins lost to the Bombers, c'mon Royals, beat the Guards tonight and hope the Yankees win the nightcap.
I've been critical of Eloy in the past but he would be dynamite if he just could stay healthy.Last edited by LITTLE NELL; 09-08-2022, 06:10 AM.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.

That looked like it was going to be really ugly, given the start. 7 straight K's, falling behind 4-0.
A big play that was not mentioned already was Abreu legging it out on what would have an inning ending DP in the fourth (originally called out, overturned on review). He's out and Eloy doesn't come up until the fifth with the bases empty. Even if he hits one out, it's 4-1. Castillo has to pitch to Eloy in the fourth, he takes the first pitch over the wall in left, and now it's 4-2. Castillo also has to throw 2 more pitches to get Sheets out.
While Elvis's defense was great, his bunt in the sixth was beautiful, especially on the heels of Zavala reaching on Suarez's error. Puts 2 on with none out, and even though Moncada couldn't move them over, Abreu singles to make it 4-3, Eloy doubles to tie it, Sheets hit a sac fly, and Vaughn doubles to make it 6-4 and finally chase Castillo.
Good to see us take advantage of someone else's mistakes, especially in the ninth when Flexen decided to be Mitch Trubisky and throw 10 yards over everyone.
Got to win series at this point. All that matters. As Little Nell said, we really need at least 3 of 4 in Oakland, while at the same time Cleveland is up in Minnesota dropping 2 of 3.I want my $2

Great win. Team showed a lot of heart and fight coming back from a four run deficit. How about Velazquez in the bottom of the 8th? Shocking. And great to see Liam have a clean 9th. On to Oakland to hopefully exorcise more demons. .Last edited by Chez; 09-07-2022, 09:25 PM.

Nothing like great fielding, timely hitting and shut them down pitching that warms the cockles of the heart.
Now on to Oakland and hopefully exorcise a lot of ghosts past and take 3 of 4 or sweep the damn Elephants.

I'm glad to see them pull out the win. I was in and out today, saw the opening 7 strikeouts and the M's four runs. Went out, on the way home heard the score 6-5 Sox. By the time I got home, it was tied at 6-6.
Andrus is a keeper, one way or another. That is all. Is Kopech injured, or was it a precaution? Nothing on the Sox site. Hopefully it was just a precaution.
On to Oakland!

I only caught bits and pieces of this game, but it looked like a good one. It's been few and far between where the offense actually picks up the pitching, but that's what happened tonight.
Getting a series win on the road against maybe the hottest team in baseball is damn impressive.
Sox now tied with the Twins, 2 GB of Cleveland. Hopefully they can take advantage of facing the team with the worst record in the AL.
