    Benintendi is the lead off hitter that I was looking for the whole season. Wasted too many opportunities with TA leading off most of the season.

    Yes, this ump is bad. He also called a strike on Sheets on Sheets that was clearly a ball…
  3. hankchifan
    It is. There are no adjustments. Keep making the same mistakes.
  4. hankchifan
    That is the main reason we are last in OBP.

    Grifol is bad. We dodged a bullet. It could have been a 3 run homer , it hit the wall. No way thatt the lefty Banks be allowed to pitch to Duvall.

    The philosophy looks to me is to swing away early in the counts , and swing for the fences as often as possible. Unfortunately,we don’t have many contact hitters or consistent sluggers. Need to change philosophy to more patience at the plate and some small ball leading to homers with men and not just solo homers. IMO.

    You are right. Sox did not really need Grandal. Should have spent that money on a power hitting outfielder Instead. Another Hahn screw up, which he repeated trading for Kimbrel, when we did not need a closer but needed a 2B and a RF instead.

    Except maybe leaving Lynn one batter too long with 105 pitches.

    Elvis with the blue suede shoes rocks it! Remilliard running game helped.
  10. hankchifan
    Remilllard is better player than TA now. Better defense. More patient. Can bunt.

    Hate to lose another game after hitting four solo homers again.

    The White Sox have the worse defensive infield in the majors on the field now. And one of the worse catchers. It’s hard to win close games. A decent 2B would have made the play with 2 outs in the 9 th to win the game but TA did not get in front of the ball.

    TA grounds out to SS with RISP. Another walk scores forBoston. Vaughn drops a popup. What else is new.
  14. hankchifan
    He is one of the slowest runners in MLB and one of the worst defensive 1B.
  15. hankchifan
    But we don’t love walks to be on base when we hit homers.
  16. hankchifan
    And Burger at 3B as well.

    Was watching Cubs-Cardinals game from London. Nick Madrigal went 2-4 with one RBI. He is hitting .260 with only 14 strikeouts in 127 AB. Announcers were reminding me that Nick is a very good contact hitter, which we desperately need with all our free swingers. He would have been more useful than Kimbrel-Pollock. Another bad RH move , probably due to his bromances with relief pitchers.

    I am afraid that a fire sale will be coming, with the main purpose being a salary dump and we will be left with an even worse team. Hahn will not cut favorable deals and will end up with even more relievers. IMO.
  19. hankchifan
    What team are you referring to?
  20. hankchifan
    Only the Royals and Oakland have worse records than the Sox, and you know how bad those teams are.
  21. hankchifan
    Rick Hahn has not been an efficient GM. Has not gotten a good return on his payroll investments. He should be canned.
  22. hankchifan
    RH will probably trade our starting pitchers for more relievers.
  23. hankchifan
    Every White Sox pitcher tonight has pitched well. 17 Red Sox strikeouts, a season high for them. Our problem has been our terrible offense, lack of clutch hitting with RISP.
  24. hankchifan
    Sheets keeps making the same mistake. Swinging at balls over his head with the same bad result. No adjustment. He should be benched.
  25. hankchifan
    Lucas also hurt himself with the hanger to Denver’s for a 2 run homer. One pitch has been the difference so far. The errors also hurt.
