Like, really take over. For the second day in a row.
Since returning from the IL, Charlie Blackmon has two triples and two home runs. He's back. pic.twitter.com/XNKeWTJcLV

Meanwhile, Zach Remillard had a hard time against the elements.
The sun, the ground and the Rockies are conspiring to make it a rough day for Zach Remillard at second base. The guy who beat a Remillard throw to first for a two-out infield hit scores when a smash at Remillard eats him up on a nutty bounce. Game’s tied at 2 in the fourth.

Just watched @whitesox 2nd baseman Remillard drop a pop fly he lost in the sun…..while his sunglasses were placed safely on top of his hat. You can’t fix stupid. #MLB

And the White Sox brain trust allowed Cease to face off against Harold Castro with predictable results.
Harold Castro owns Dylan Cease. And yet the White Sox let him pitch to Hittin' Harold.

Two-run double lifts the #Rockies to 5-2 in the fifth.

An unpredictable strike zone brought out the ire of one Elvis Andrus. I wonder who could possibly replace him?
Elvis Andrus tossed?
— Salina Rae Silver (@HeyHeySalinaRae) August 20, 2023
If only we had a young second baseman who needs more reps at the major league level during this lost season to take his place
Wait..
Oh, they figured it out.
Elvis Andrus, ejected during a Luis Robert at-bat, is replaced by Zach Remillard at shorstop. Lenyn Sosa enters at second base.

And a good thing too.
OMG LENYN SOSA pic.twitter.com/sRPAGsD9Jr

Lenyn Sosa homers in a pinch hit appearance. They have to play this kid the rest of the way to know what they have. #WhiteSox
— Ryan McGuffey (@RyanMcGuffey) August 20, 2023
Lenyn Sosa ranged far to his left to make a nice play for the first out of the eighth.
— Daryl Van Schouwen (@CST_soxvan) August 20, 2023
It wasn’t just Sosa— Oscar Colás got in on the action, too.
Oscar Colas Lefty-Lefty hit coming through in the clutch, this is madness! pic.twitter.com/G3eaLU8MzX

Oscar Colas 2 run Double

Lenyn Sosa 2 run bomb.
Almost like they should’ve been playing since June.
Play. The. Kids.
— Father Zo - Cesspool Lifeguard (@SouthsideZo) August 20, 2023
They make a fair point.
Somehow, in spite of themselves, the White Sox won.
Wait a damn minute y’all..the white sox won that game?!!?? AND AARON BUMMER GOT THE WIN???

“Guys we won a baseball game,” or whatever Andrew Vaughn said. #WhiteSox
