Game 23, 4.19.19: Yolmer, Yoan Back Solid Pitching Effort

Final Score: White Sox 7, Tigers 3
- MVP: Yolmer!. It's about time. 1-1, 1 R, 3BB, 1 SB. Involved in 2 double plays
- LVP: Yonder. 1-5, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 GDP. A pretty good outing by the entire team, so even this was not that bad.
Other game option: None

Game 24, 4.20.18: White Sox Get Their Asses Kicked by Astros
Game 24, 4.20.18: White Sox Get Their Asses Kicked by Astros
Astros (16-6, 1st ALW) @ White Sox (11-12, 3rd ALC)
Justin Verlander v James Shields (1-1, 4.15)
Final Score: Astros 10, White Sox 0
Final Score: Astros 10, White Sox 0
- Shields was pretty successful 1st time through order, then got battered in the 4th inning
- This is the game in which Danny Farquhar had a brain aneurysm in the dugout after leaving the game. I'm so glad he made it through and is healthy. It's easy to reduce these men to what they can do on a baseball field - stories like Farquhar's remind us that they are every bit as human and vulnerable as the rest of us.
- MVP: Adam Engel, 0-3, 1 K. Pretty good in CF, though. That's how bad this game was - someone who went 0-3 added more win probability than anyone else.
- LVP: Shields. *sigh*
Other game option: None

Game 25, 4.21.18: White Sox Close Gap on Astros...By Losing 10-1 This Time
Game 25, 4.21.18: White Sox Close Gap on Astros...By Losing 10-1 This Time
Astros (17-6, 1st ALW) @ White Sox (11-13, 3rd ALC)
Dallas Keuchel v Lucas Giolito (2-1, 5.30)
Final Score: Astros 10, White Sox 1
Final Score: Astros 10, White Sox 1
- My rule regarding avoidance of divisional losses means I had to watch this shitshow instead of the White Sox dropping a 4-3 game to the Tigers in 2019.
- Giolito has a godawful start. Truly horrific. Thank god, he gets better.
- Moncada got yanked for not running out a grounder in the 2nd.
- Trayce Thompson hit an opposite field homer in only his 2nd game back - this was predicted pre-game by Steve Stone.
- MVP: Tim Anderson. Seriously, the most positive thing that happened to the White Sox tonight (other than Thompson's meaningless home run with the team already down 10-0) was a leadoff double to begin the bottom the 1st. Thanks, Timmy. 1-4.
- LVP: Giolito. Easily the worst start by any starter so far in this imaginary season. 2+ IP, 5 H, 1 HR, 9 ER, 7 BB, 1 K.
Other game option: White Sox 3, Tigers 4

White Sox (11-14, 4th ALC) @ Orioles (9-14, 5th ALE)
Manny Banuelos (1-0, 5.40) v David Hess
Final Score: White Sox 12, Orioles 2
- I've never heard of a bunch of this Orioles team: David Hess, Richie Martin, Rio Ruiz, Tanner Scott
- Miguel Castro threw 3 wild pitches in the 8th inning before he got his second out
- MVP: James McCann. 3-5, 1 HR, 1 R, 4 RBI. Also a big play in the 4th to pick Renato Nunez off of third base.
- LVP: Leury Garcia. 1-6, but did score twice.
Other game option: Astros 7, White Sox 1

Mike Leake v Carson Fulmer (0-1, 6.19)

Game 28, 4.24.19: Santana Struggles Again, White Sox Fall Short
White Sox (13-14, 3rd ALC) @ Orioles (9-16, 5th ALE)
Ervin Santana (0-0, 5.40) v John Means
Other game option: Mariners 1, White Sox 0
- MVP: Jose Abreu. 2-4, 2 RBI.
- LVP: Moncada. 0-4, and Ruiz's 1st inning single went right through his defensive zone. That's not necessarily bad play, since it could be bad positioning
Other game option: Mariners 1, White Sox 0
