I'm not sure that we're getting runs with the White Sox and the Reds here tonight.
Castillo's going for the White Sox.
Rhett Lowder, who had been atrocious up to the, his last three starts, where he seems to have figured some things out.
The bullpen of the Reds has been good, but the White Sox can't hit.
That's the problem.
The Reds can hit, the Reds have been hitting.
But I, I, I Yeah, I've been back and forth with it was at nine, then it was eight and a half, then it was nine.
I don't know.
The, the Red The White Sox are gonna have to do their share if this thing's going over, no?
I think they would.
You'd have to get at least, at least three out of the White Sox, maybe four, if this game were to go over.
I'm not I, I, I can't make heads or tails of the White Sox sometimes.

He's been okay, but he's not the same pitcher he once was.
No, he's not.
And b- twist of fate, one of his starts I think couple of weeks ago was against the Reds when he was with- Seattle, and, gave up a couple of home runs, I think, in that game.
Gave up three, at least three earned there.
So it's not like the Reds haven't seen him before, with an interleague matchup, 'cause they did just see him a couple of weeks ago.
And a, advantage hitters in that spot, Tom, no?
When you get those, those rematches?
Yes.
Al- always.
The, you know, if the second time in, in a short period of time that the hitters see the pitcher, the hitters generally have the match-
