Bird App Recap: Mariners 5, White Sox 1
There was something ... in the air ...
It was a beautiful day for baseball, as the Chicago White Sox took on the Seattle Mariners at Guaranteed Rate Field this afternoon.
Or, so the pictures would have you believe.
Sox really need to bring back Thunderstruck and also drastically decrease the volume of the concourse speakers before it blows my eardrums pic.twitter.com/hjTafPjh2v

But looks can be deceiving. It was ... a tad windy outside, today.
So far in this game, the loudest cheer at Guaranteed Rate has come from a bat boy chasing down a piece of paper pic.twitter.com/SXccovhD2S

OK, maybe more than just a tad windy ...
Its so windy it shattered that Coke Machine door. Wave of glass in the bleachers. pic.twitter.com/yt0i6s8skC

We were blown away by wind commentary.
This Chicago Wind is DIFFERENT

That’s why they call it the Windy City

That wind made for some pretty entertaining plays, at least.
Yeah, it's been a real day out here. https://t.co/FhF5DkxBga

It’s not something you see every day, you know?
I’m not going to lie, the three dropped pop ups by the Mariners infield today made the game worth it to watch. That’s something I’ll never be able to see again

lmao seattle's got larry curly and moe in the infield

This game is objectively hilarious.

The White Sox struggled to get the offense going despite there being the obvious opportunity to have some wind-assisted runs cross the plate.

But there was one player who had a particularly bad day. I’ll let your tweets do the talking:
Said it a billion times but players like Leury Garcia don't get regular starts on teams that win world series

Lee-oo-ree ain’t no damn good.

yo, sit leury

“leury garcia pinch hitting for eloy jimenez” is the equivalent of “we don’t have coke, is pepsi okay?”

And when the Sox were down in the ninth, who else could it come down to?
That’s how you end it with García 0-17 #changethegame pic.twitter.com/iAW75qIuYn

Not everyone was so quick to jump up and down on Leury García today. Celeste stepped in to defend her man’s honor:
Monthly reminder that the way Tony decides to use Leury in the field and in the lineup is not Leury's fault

In the end,
It is what it is ♂️ https://t.co/vWoWlCZhzQ

That was a lackluster game. #WhiteSox

can’t win em all, folks.

But don’t worry:
He’s not making the call just yet, but Tony La Russa said Jimmy Lambert is likely to get the nod again the next time Lucas Giolito’s turn comes up in the rotation

Tomorrow, the South Siders will try to pick up the wind-scattered pieces against the Tampa Bay Rays, and White Sox fans have a plan if things start to get out of hand:
I think we should all make farts noises at the games
