They live to fight another day! I gotta admit when it was 5-1 early I wasn't feeling to good but then the bats finally woke up.

For the record, the Sox starter Cease threw 100 and he got replaced with Kopec who also throws 100. It seems like 100 is the new 95. That is remarkable, because guys who could throw 100 came up like once a decade. Now it seems like every team has 1 or 2 of them. Don't tell me it's "better technique" or there is something in the water. Maybe it's a mutation, like dragons learned to fly.

Yeah, it seems like 100 mph is the new 92. That said I saw some tweet (I think from either Pitching Ninja or Codify?) that the White Sox had 1500 more 100+ pitches than any other team in baseball this year.

The bullpen was absolutely filthy last night and they need more of that to get past Astros plus the bats need to stay hot.

I think speed is measured closer to release point compared to years ago, resulting in higher radar readings. That said, average velocity has steadily gone up over time, probably due to better pitching mechanics and better medicine (widespread usage of TJ surgery and successful recoveries from it).

Ironically, even though pitchers are throwing harder than ever they are throwing fewer fastballs than ever as well. Hitters have gotten really good at hitting fastballs.

Goddamnit Astros Wsox game is postponed. Now I have to do something more productive today, like work. I'll save the Doritos and cheap beer for tomorrow.

I was looking forward to spending my afternoon watching this

On the plus side it means if we get a game 5 Lynn can ride the pine and Giolito will get the ball which is preferable for us White Sox fans. I love Lynn but just not against the Astros who seem to have him totally figured out.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen someone costing his team a run by getting himself thrown out before the guy on 3rd gets home trying to go go 1st to 2nd on a sac-fly. Nice job Duvall

Counsell is a ****ing moron. Why would you take out your pitcher who was dealing for a 20% chance at getting the run in? Vogelbach looks like he's 400 lbs and can barely swing the bat anymore.

Thank God Vazquez hit a two-run dong in the bottom of the inning, so no one has to wonder about what could've been

Pujols has hardly started a game in a month and a half. Wow he's in tonight. I bet he'll be goofy at first and at the plate. Hope not.

red sox collapse is real

not like they're doing themselves any favors - GIDP with bases loaded in 7th inning and getting thrown out at 3rd base with 2 outs in 8th inning

Kershaw said double on Pujols pop, lol, he hit 3 doubles in 100+ games setting all-time record.

Odds of Pujols scoring on single ... .0006.
