Count that game as a ‘phew’, I’m happy that happened win.

Ooh, I’m staying around on the ChiSox broadcast — the LaRussa postgame interview should be great!

Heckuva TEAM win tonight.  Everybody contributed to it significantly.

Because the 1 st run was unearned ,  does duran get a save ?

Where's the guy who called the loss in the 6th inning? Ghosted on outta here I guess. Called a sweep in fact. 

Fireworks in my neighborhood just started.  Nice timing!

Strike 3. But how does Anderson just give up on that last pitch. I believe the whitesox are done. Maybe the Twins could get Hendricks outta there. 

And Cleveland loses a double header to....... DETROIT!

Something about the old style guys just isn’t playing today it seems. Girardi, maddon, larussa…

Ozzie is classic on that ... can't wait to hear his breakdown on the triple play

LaRussa is the owner’s dream hire. I think there’s better odds Anderson is shipped out by the deadline for a boat load of prospects.

The White Sox just look so lethargic.  I bet the Sox fans are twice as brutal on Tony Larussa as Twins fans are about Baldelli 

They are.

Just called Arraez a “piranha.”

Somehow Rocco bungled his way into having Duran for the 10th.

No. 

Should save rules be altered at all due to runner at second rule?

Man ... he looks and sounds really, really awful

Probably not. If it’s a three-run game, it will be a save, since the tying run is on deck when then inning starts. If it’s a four-run game, I don’t think you deserve a save coming in with just a runner on second.

And it only took the world’s worst baserunning play to make it happen!

How do you figure? Because the Sox didn’t score there?

One can argue that identical work yields differing results. If you blow it, do you deserve a blown save? And at the least, it is inelegant if the special 3 run 1 inning case is covered by the other situation.

 

Meh. It is book keeping at this point though , so not really that important.

Circular reasoning Sammy says how many other base running blunders result in triple plays?

 

It was rather special considering how much of a team effort it was.

Anyway, thanks all for the company.

 

Sorry i napped through much of it. Day was long, as was the game.
