Gamethread: Orioles at White Sox
What fresh hell awaits us tonight?
The White Sox are looking to bounce back against the Orioles and the umpires in Game 2 of this four-game series.
Last night, the White Sox started a late rally after trailing 8-2 for most of the game. A furious comeback pushed the game to 8-6 with just one out and Andrew Vaughn on second base base ... then, well, just watch, in case you haven’t seen this everywhere.

The call was very controversial and met with plenty of warranted outrage. With the stunned and angry discourse coming to a head, Major League Baseball contacted the White Sox today to notify the club that Thursday’s game-ending interference call shouldn’t have been made, per a source to Jesse Rogers of ESPN.
The White Sox also issued a press release for two roster moves.
