Why can't Britton pitch tonight.  He didn't pitch on Wednesday, did he?

No, just a guess that Buck is trying to stay away from someone.

On balance, I have been a strong supporter of the work DD has done.  But those who are complete Dan advocates must admit that the decision to jettison Miggy was just a mistake.  Plain and simple.  And that he is the same effective 3-4 starter that he was for us. 

Money move. Saved around 3.5M.

WSox announcers rubbing it in: "Let's put it this way...the Orioles...would love to have Miguel Gonzalez back. He's been nothing but wonderful for the White Sox ever since coming over."

We would. I understand why the decision was made at the time but he's missed. Great guy. Glad he found a home outside the AL East.

I understand the White Sox have the best BP in baseball.

They had the lowest pen ERA in the majors around a week ago.   I haven't checked since...things can change pretty quickly this time of year numbers-wise, but they have been winning so it's probably still near the top.

Would the white sox love to have Ynoa tonight?

If Ynoa can come close to what Miguel gave us, well....

Suddenly Jones is seeing his favorite pitch again. Get back to your Zen state Jonesy.

The announcers were very complimentary of Ynoa's performance.

It appeared he had lost significant velocity.   I know a lot of folks on OH were talking like he was done.

But yeah, the decision was made for money and turned out to be a bad one.

20,302. With nice weather I bet they would of had close to 30k.

Relax, it's a defensive replacement. Kim isn't hurt.
