We all know Liam Hendriks is the best person in baseball, but I really want to drive that home a bit more. Our Jimmy V Award recipient went above and beyond in his old stomping grounds. The A’s also made a donation to the Cancer Support Community in the Bay area.
More than just a game ⚾️ After beating non-Hodgkins Lymphoma earlier this season, Liam Hendriks met with Yoally, a Bay Area native and breast cancer survivor, before tonight's game.

This recap started positively, so let’s get to the bad news. It’s a bullpen game, and we’re playing Oakland.

The regular crew is gone, so we’ve got Len Kasper and Gordon Beckham.
Oh Len Kasper on my tv

The Sox scored in the first, but also left the bases loaded, because duh.
Tanner Banks only allowed a single in the first, and kept the A’s off the board.

Tim Anderson continues to have abysmal at-bats, this being the second of his game so far.
Why does TA even bring a bat? What an unreal strikeout.
— Why Sox (@pasoxandswim) July 1, 2023
The bases are loaded again! What could go wrong?
Bases left loaded twice

If only Eloy didn’t hit a groundball like 80% of the time lol
— Billy (@WhiteSoxCenter) July 1, 2023
Leadoff walks are known to haunt, and haunt they did. In the blink of an eye, it’s 4-1, A’s.
White Sox gonna White Sox. pic.twitter.com/wxRjJxT7X4

Losing to the worst team in baseball LMFAOOOO it’s going to be a wild night.

Let’s take a quick detour to a team that is actually having fun.
The Pirates are what I wish the White Sox would be. https://t.co/wPSnl54lXX

TA is still bad.
Medina is a HOFer if he just faces TA

It’s getting a little spicy in Oakland.
Jose Castro, White Sox hitting coach, ejected by plate umpire Tripp Gibson between innings. Possible beef with the strike three call on Anderson.

It’s still 4-1 in the fifth.
It’s the easy part of the schedule they said #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/RUcni1B8Pk
— Melissa Sage-Bollenbach (@soxmom72) July 1, 2023
Now: 5-1.
Do you think the A’s looked at their schedule and said “YES at least we get to play the #WhiteSox now!”?
— Mike (@shure_michael) July 1, 2023
Twitter users are dropping like flies.
Ok…I think that is enough of this game for tonight… pic.twitter.com/VZq89vUPff

This team. I swear.
The White Sox are bad and they should feel bad.

Idk how many Fridays I have let these guys ruin but it’s a lot.

This team leads to unintended drinking.
I told myself I would not drink tonight, but when the As scored 4 runs, I decided why not.
— Jacklyn Hilligoss (@JackHill43) July 1, 2023
And questioning everything.
Do the A's actually look like a decent little baseball team, or are they just playing the White Sox?
— White Sox Twitt3r (Is Baby Hippo) (@SoxTwitt3r) July 1, 2023
The bases are loaded again in the eighth!
Love that Sox got three straight hits. Hate the fact they have no speed and the bases are loaded with no runs.
— Mark Hoger (@HogerMark) July 1, 2023
Andrew Benintendi knocks in two with a two-out double.
Andrew Benintendi, worth every penny

TA, on the other hand ...
I really miss when Tim Anderson was good at baseball
— Optimistic Sox Fan (Ride Enjoyer) (@WhiteSoxCheech) July 1, 2023
And we’re back to being down four runs!
The A's had been held to fewer than 10 hits in each of the last 19 games, longest in Oakland history.
— Chuck Garfien (@ChuckGarfien) July 1, 2023
They have 10 hits tonight.
Hey! We’re within three!
Luis Robert Jr. hit 11 home runs in June.
— Josh Nelson (@soxmachine_josh) July 1, 2023
16 RBI.
But with two outs and Yasmani Grandal up with an 0-2 count ...
:(
— SoxNerd (@SoxNerd) July 1, 2023
Goodnight, friends. Sorry if you stayed up for this garbage game.
Final: Athletics 7, White Sox 4.
— LaMond Pope (@lamondpope) July 1, 2023
The A’s scored 4 runs in the 2nd and held off a late Sox rally.
Andrew Vaughn had 3 hits and Andrew Benintendi had a 2-run double.
Luis Robert Jr. homered in the 9th.
Sox went 3-for-12 with RISP.
