You don't understand how it works. The only way to get better at hitting MLB pitching is to face MLB pitching. If we delayed Moncada's promotion we would have also been delaying his eventual success.

95 loses next year then the rebuild has failed and we are going to have end up doing it all over again. If White Sox are awful next year, where are these great players going to come from to make this team good? Are we going to wait until Moncada finale season with the Sox until we start expecting to compete?

Seems like an attempt to save a dying franchise and I support it. Last year White Sox had the lowest market share ratings in baseball, this season they are probably trending even lower. Meschandise sales are probably way down too. Have you seen game threads lately? Have they ever been less active? I made it through last season but even I am struggling to pay attention this year. Bringing up more of the young guys may not help us win right now but it will make the team more interesting to follow.

Coop will make sure to put an end to that.

Any report on Burdi's velocity?

He was thriving as a starter too before 2018.

You can also go on twitter search and type "latinos n word" or similar type search and see thousands more complaints from black people about latinos using that word.

Maybe I am mistaken but are you implying that it is okay for all non white people to say the N-word? Because most black people would strongly disagree with that including objecting to latinos using the word unless the latino was also black. Also Angel Hernandez is a white cuban which why it was funny for him to claim racial discrimination a few years ago.

Who cares how many at bats he has had in minors, look at his results because that is what matters. Should Sale have stayed in minors for a year or two just so he can get enough minor league innings? When a guy is ready he's ready. I think the problem is Luis Robert has clearly made some enourmous progress since the last time we saw him but most fans refuse to alter the original time frame we expected from him. This isn't the Robert we seen in previous years. He was showing very little power at all and now he is hitting home runs almost every other game. Time to alter the original time frame because this is a new Robert we are seeing.

What is the point of keeping keeping Robert in A+? I have a feeling White Sox don't want him up this year at all, similar to Eloy last year, so they will delay his promotions as much as they can. If they promote him to AA soon and he continues raking it will be hard for them to keep him in the minors all season.

How is defensive WAR calculated? I decided to look up Moncada's WAR numbers and noticed virtually every player on the team(including Moncada) are rated negatively in defensive WAR on Baseball Reference. The only 2 positive defensive WAR players are Engel and Sanchez. How the hell does Yolmer have a positive defensive WAR right now?

I would say context matters. I think teams are more tolerant of it if it comes in late inning clutch situations. Tim seems to do the bat flips and showboating even in the early innings.

The nightmare is over. I wonder if they were waiting for him to get his first hit or if it is just a coincidence.

We are now missing our 2 best hitters in the line up.

I said when they got rid of him that I wouldn't be surprised if he had a great 2019 season. He showed the batting average in 2017 and a lot more power in an injury plagued 2018, I had a feeling he would put together if he was heathy in 2019.

Avi currently has a .8 WAR according to Baseball Reference, that includes a positive rated defensive WAR. Just saying.

It would have been nice if we didn't use are 2 good bullpen arms yesterday.

What the hell kind of rule is that?

They are going to throw Eloy nothing but junk here.

Has it been confirmed Moncada is going on the IL?

Way too late when he's already been ready. He completely dominated in AA last year.

Ricky is the moron. They assume that because why else would a manager pull him after getting one out in the 7th with no one on base and a 3 run lead.

Being benched in place of Engel for 1 and a half seasons even he was healthy held him back. He won the starter role in 2017 and was good but got injured, when he came back he was never given the starter role again until this season.

Why didn't GIo have a short leash in yesterdays game? He let Gio go over 100 pitches despite battling most of the game but pulls Nova who cruised the whole game. Renteria's strategy is awful. I haven't even mention the ridiculous pinch hit of Sanchez for Rondon just because a pitching change. He puts way too much emphasis on righty/lefty lefty/righty match ups which causes him to make awful moves like that. I'm not someone who uses managers as scapegoats. I never jumped on the Robin hate bandwagon like most White Sox fans. I didn't use him as a scapegoat for bad White Sox teams. Robin was hated for managing a team that failed for many years but his managing was never as bad as Ricky's.

Nova shouldn't have been pulled. Why did Ricky put Gio and Lopez back out there but needed to pull Nova who was cruising in this game? Nova should have had a chance to finish the 7th.
