Bird App Recap: The Seby Game v2.0
Zavala just wants to play in that lavender haze
Your Chicago White Sox head to the Big Apple looking for their fourth straight victory after sweeping the Tigers on the South Side. The Yankees return home after taking two of three from the Dodgers in Los Angeles. New York is 36-25, sitting third in the mighty AL East, while our Sox are 26-35, sitting fourth in the very pedestrian AL Central.
Here’s how Pedro lines them up on this Tuesday evening in the Bronx:

— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) June 6, 2023
On the bump for the visiting Sox, Lucas Giolto (4-4, 4.08 ERA, 1.26 WHIP) and for the home team Yanks, Clarke Schmidt (2-5, 5.05 ERA, 1.51 WHIP).
Injury news that may factor heavily this series:
Aaron Judge (injured toe) not in the lineup tonight against the White Sox.
— Chuck Garfien (@ChuckGarfien) June 6, 2023
White Sox avoid Nestor Cortes in this series. He goes on the injured list (shoulder). He's 4-0 with a 2.63 in his career against the White Sox.

It wouldn’t be a day that ends in Y if there weren’t pregame lineup consternation.
does pedro grifol keep forgetting that jake burger is not only on this team but is the best hitter we have????? https://t.co/SSduu1Djoh
— melanie. (@meluhkneesays) June 6, 2023
The answer, perhaps?
Not the Burger question everyone else is asking, but, why is Jake Burger so bad on the road so far this year?

The air above Yankee Stadium looks like a fog of smoke, which can’t be at all healthy.
We’re getting closer to first pitch here at Yankee Stadium and the air quality is real bad. It’s ominous. Smells like smoke.

Meanwhile, Triple-A SWB just postponed their game due to poor air quality… pic.twitter.com/UZMoAvpYTL
And Gordon Beckham is in the booth, which also isn’t healthy for anyone listening …
It’s almost charming how bad Gordon is at this. Almost.

Beckham is on the call tonight, oh fuck me...

And for the sake of levity:
Fun fact: the White Sox are fewer games out of first place than the Yankees.
