What happened in the White Sox vs. Yankees series?
Hemi, Harris, and Grody. Of course I follow Mark Grody on Twitter. I love you guys, and I'm thrilled to be here. I've been listening to the score for many, many, many years.
Middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score. Bob. Gale Vargas to straightaway center. Bellinger continues to drift and makes the catch just shy of the wall. And that'll do it. White Sox will lose this series to the Yankees in Game 2, the final 10-5.
White Sox got to get out of New York. It's not a fair place to be right now because of all the Knicks madness. There's too much winning happening. There's too much of a happy vibe in New York City right now. As the White Sox again get... Pretty pummeled by those Yankees bats last night. 10-5 the final score. That's how the White Sox follow up what was the Tuesday 12-2 trouncing at the hands of the Chicago White Sox. As we welcome you back into the Rahimi Harrison Grody Show on 104.3 The Score. And there he was again. Belly. Cody Bellinger, three for four with a two-run homer. And it was Anthony Kaye. I felt bad for Anthony Kaye. Anthony Kaye from New York, excited to be pitching at Yankee Stadium, excited to be in the Bronx.
Why are the White Sox struggling against the Yankees?
Those are his people. And then he just did not look particularly good last night. The White Sox didn't look very good last night.
The White Sox have the third worst ERA in baseball in the month of June. That's why they're 6-7 in the month of June. And they've had, don't get me wrong, they've had some good wins. We, of course, know about the series win against the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers, but they are not getting the job done on the road. In fact, this loss yesterday was the first time they had lost back-to-back games in quite some time.
I bet.
And it kind of hammers home the point that if you don't, at least play 500 ball on the road, you're not going to go as far. Now, the saving grace in all of this is that the Cleveland Guardians are on the struggle bus, namely because they're having to play the Brewers right now. So the Sox are still in first place, even after back-to-back losses. And the hope after the first game was, okay, flush that. It's just one game. Davis Martin has been better than this. It's not that big of a deal. But now I'm back to the original philosophy that I had, when Munataka Murakami went down. Do you know what that philosophy was, Mark? Survive. Don't get swept. Just don't get swept. And guess what? They haven't been in a position where they were going to get swept until now.
And now I'm back to don't get swept. Are they going to get swept? You think Sean Burke going to come through against old Ryan Weathers?
I think the possibility is distinct on New York Knicks parade day. Oh, my God.
Get out of there. For God's sakes, White Sox. Not in your favor.
Get out of New York now. The vibes are not in your favor right now playing against the New York Yankees in New York. It's crazy out there right now. The parade's already started, by the way. And for the White Sox to want to be in a position to salvage a game of this series, it's important. They have a very important series coming up against the Tigers where you feel like there's some blood in the water. You can maybe stomp them out. And then, of course, the series with the Guardians coming up on Monday. That's the first series all year against a very injury-riddled Guardians team. This is the time they should be able to take off, win or lose today against the Yankees.
Yeah, it's about to be on for the White Sox. Don't let the sweep happen, but for God's sakes, get out of there.
Who were the standout players in the recent games?
It was a good night for Colson Montgomery who had a couple of bombs and won one that felt like when Colson Montgomery in the third inning hits that three-run homer and the Sox are right back in it. It's 4-3 Yankees at that point. And then even Anthony Kaye, he had a man on third with nobody out. He gets out of that jam. Things were starting to look up. And then all of a sudden in the fifth inning, Jose Caballero, the two-run hit off of Sean Newcomb that makes it 6-3 Yankees. Sean Newcomb then takes that ball off the shoulder.
