Bird App Recap: Rangers 2, White Sox 0
I’m starting to think this team won’t win another game this season
No fancy tweet for the lineup. It had to be quickly updated as the Trade Deadline Fire Sale was still hot and we were a man down at second base. The White Sox make a stop in Arlington to face the first-place Rangers.

The bright light known as Jake Burger is heading to Miami with my heart. Keynan Middleton makes his way to New York to join the last-place Yankees.
Thank you for what you brought to the clubhouse, on the field and to our fans, Jake and Keynan. pic.twitter.com/mxvXomiPEt

Here is a little salt to rub in your wound. I promise I’ll get to this game at some point.

At least we have the future of the team still in Triple-A, while Elvis Andrus gets tonight’s start.

Not a lot going on for either team so far.
All you guys crying that we needed to keep Cease because we needed starters forgot one thing.

2024 White Sox Opening Day Starter: Jesse Scholtens https://t.co/GeLZBeCimP
I’d love some runs from the Sox, but 0-0 is comfortable for now. Scholtens has kept the Rangers quiet for three innings.
Scholtens looks like the White Sox created him in the same 3D Printer as Dunning.

So close. So damn close to a two-run lead.
A homer in 21 of 30 parks. He crushed that ball https://t.co/s5PaWC00iD

I’m just so glad we kept all the power hitters on the team. Wait.
Vaughn gets 91 center cut and does Jack shit with it. pic.twitter.com/sZe5P3Jm8j

Scholtens gives up a run in the bottom of the fifth.
Garver breaks a scoreless tie with solo homer against Jesse Scholtens. Fifth inning. Sox have one hit.

Time for some retaliation. What about Ja —
The Sox could use a Burger Bomb right now!! Oh Well!

At least we have a pitching change for Texas. Maybe this team can do something against Josh Sborz.
A guy like Sholtens is giving you a game like this and you can’t do anything offensively. Looking forward to watching this same lineup, that has 1 hit with 11strikeouts and no walks through 6, next year too. ♂️

Nothing from the Sox. But the Rangers got another run in.
I’m starting to think Declan Cronin might not be a big part of next season’s contending White Sox roster.

There is a scumbag, whoops, setup man on the mound for the Rangers. Now would be the perfect time to get those bats hot, boys. Tee off.
Andrew Vaughn is 3-for-4 lifetime vs. Chapman.

Or not. Whatever.
Go sit down Yaz #WhiteSox

Welp. The Sox are shut out in just under two hours.
Ballgame. Sox blanked. It’s a 2-0 final on a pair of Rangers home runs. Jesse Scholtens was quite good as he joins the rotation. Sox’ bats did next to nothing, only three hits.

They’re 22 games under .500.
Will everyone join me in a little scream therapy? I’ll countdown to three and we’ll all just scream into the void, 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
18 innings without a run lol

Tonight is the 5th time in White Sox history they have struck out 16+ times and not walked.
— Christopher Kamka (@ckamka) August 2, 2023
Two times in 2023.
I’m so glad Rick Hahn let everyone know this is NOT a rebuild and they’ll be contenders next year! He’ll just talk to you after the parade.
WHITE SOX ARE BACK, BABY!!!!!!!
