Sam Antonacci is asked what his reaction was to Munetaka Murakami’s go ahead 2 run home run. He confesses that he was hiding in the batting cage, eating an ice cream at the time. His teammate Miguel Vargas hears about this and called a child that needs to be looked after.

Pitchers: absolutely locked in 100% ready to answer the call every pitch is a battle between myself, my opponent, and the limits of the known universe if I break my focus for a single moment then the battle is already lost

Someone said the best part about the White Sox team is they haven't been media trained yet and it hits so hard

As if Jerry would ever pay for the team to get media training

The Mune interviews are great but when he said he was drunk you could see a tiny flash of panic in his interpreter’s eyes

Is there anything that is not literally the coolest thing ever about the White Sox?

I mean there was the whole black Sox thing…but I guess 100+ years is enough time to forgive them.

Old man Vargas wants Sam to stop eating ice cream on his lawn.

Best vibes in baseball.

It’s the reverse 05 where the starters were doing a bunch of complete games, now the bullpen is just out the whole game

Jays vibes across Canada were really high last year. That team bonded extremely tight.

The disappointment can only be described as devastating.

That ‘05 team was an absolute wrecking ball in the playoffs. I rooted hard for them in the World Series. Because I’m a hater.

2013 Red Sox were an ultimate vibe, but they weren’t young like these White Sox.

Same levels of dgaf though. White Sox because it seems like they’re young and don’t know any better, 2013 Red Sox because they were old and beaten down by life lol

It’s legit this part that makes me the happiest. All the canned responses from players and coaches these days are lame as hell. Give me a good Denny Hamlin meltdown or Allen Iverson no fucks given reply any day.

Don’t take that away from Grichuk. They literally call him dad

You can tell Miguel Rojas must have said something to him or ironed him out a little bit when he was on the Dodgers.

Wtf it was supposed to say "holy shit". I hate android swipe. I'm ah used to it i press send without looking.

Swipe is on a personal mission to embarrass me.

"Gotta clean up the kitchen because I spent all afternoon coming" was a recent one. THANKS GOOGLE.

u/Low-Crazy-8061 Baltimore Orioles 2h ago

Autocorrect once changed “my dad got arrested three times for protesting” to “my dad got arrested three times for prostitution” and I didn’t notice until my friend responded “……..?”

Android Swipe and a predictive text filled with sin are a dangerous game.

u/smellyjerk Chicago White Sox 4h ago

I meant having an unruly predictive by being a pervert or trash talky on the internet getting you in trouble when you dont want to lmao. Had some close calls myself on work related apps. Had a work related acronym autocorrect to BBWs before i noticed on Slack once pretty sure nobody saw me edit it...that was a fun day.
