Michael Kopech and the White Sox kick off another home series vs. a division rival, looking to keep chipping away at the division lead and working their way back into playoff contention.
Tonight's #WhiteSox starters at Guaranteed Rate Field.

As the trade deadline approaches, Rick Hahn traded Reese McGuire to the Red Sox in exchange for veteran lefty Jake Diekman. We know Hahn loves his veterans.
The #WhiteSox have acquired veteran left-handed relief pitcher Jake Diekman from Boston in exchange for catcher Reese McGuire and a player to be named later or cash considerations.

SEBY ZAVALA WON.

Many of us can agree with Herb.
I’m gonna miss the Reese McGuire jokes because I’m a child.

We’ve all been there, Red Sox fans.
Don’t google Reese McGuire

Don’t worry though, Rick had a seat at the table for Ohtani!
Rick Hahn on the phone with the Angels:

“Ohtani is great and can play two positions, but what if I told you I could give you Leury Garcia who can play eight.”
Kopech had some zip to the ball tonight, and with the help of Yoán Moncada retired the first three Royals batters in order.
Yoán Moncada is 24 outs away from whatever you call it when a third baseman gets an assist on every out of a game

Kopech getting three week ground balls to start the game? Diekman was the spark we needed!

Tony looking more alive than ever in the dugout this evening.
He's falling asleep and it's the first inning!!!! @whitesox please do something about this!!! pic.twitter.com/wEXht5v1Ow

The White Sox offense remains dead outside of a few singles from Vaughn, Anderson, and Moncada. Though they will probably single themselves to death at some point.
If more moves are to be made, I know that extra pitching is important but watching this offense is painful. #WhiteSox

Like they are really bad, folks.
(This offense is terrible)
— Josh Nelson (@soxmachine_josh) August 2, 2022
Salvy hit a 452-foot moonshot in the fourth, one of the three hits Kopech had given up at that point. Not that this will matter, if the Sox can’t back up their pitcher.
Salvy WAY OVER the batter's eye

Give this man some damn run support. This shit is getting wildly annoying

Andrew Vaughn kicked off sixth with a double to center, let’s (hopefully) get some runs!??? Please?
A double?!?!?! https://t.co/dpw6t6PA1T pic.twitter.com/UXQUnIzQjP

Groundbreaking, but necessary advice:
I think we should try to win against someone in the division.

Kopech IS still looking mighty fine in the seventh. IF ONLY HIS TEAM COULD SCORE SOME RUNS, RIGHT!?

The math isn’t adding up.
A.) Putting ball in air at GRF = good.
— Brian Knights (@BrianKnights3) August 2, 2022
B.) White Sox approach = beat the everliving shit out of the ball into the ground, living and dying with singles.
A≠B
Leury García started a seventh inning rally with a swinging bunt, but the South Siders fell short as Andrew Vaughn grounded out on a great defensive play by Whit Merrifield.

José Ruiz for the eighth, because Tony.

Gavin Bonds to save the day again? Not quite — but anything will help at this point.
I’ll take it, sac fly by Gavin Sheets chips away at the deficit

2-1 with Seby on 1st with TA at the plate #ChangeTheGame
Jimmy Lambert in the ninth, however? Money.
JIMMY LAMBERT, ELITE LATE INNING ARM.
— Matt Ramsey (@kdgg09) August 2, 2022
White Sox offense gave some brief hope in the ninth with a Sheets single, but in they end they remained trash and ended on a TA double play. We’ve had enough. Time for Frank to go.

Fire Frank Menechino tonight.
— Josh Nelson (@soxmachine_josh) August 2, 2022
11 runs in four home games against last place teams. There's no need for him anymore.
Not to mention Tony quite literally sleeping in the dugout tonight.
Tony the last 30 min: replaced a top hitter (Vaughn) with Sheets, used Ruiz in a one-run game (again), and didn’t pinch hit for Leury. Has anyone checked if he even has a pulse in the dugout??

We’re .500 again — and back again tomorrow, or whatever.
