Lynn does have nasty stuff today.

Unless Miller dominates which is always a possibility

That would be a waste . Hamilton has no future as likable as he is accept as a coach. Frazier probably doesnt either but better than Hamilton's in all likelihood.

I like this post a lot. However I reread the whole thread. Moral of the story, well read our exchanges assessing the Sox at that moment in time.

I look at it this way. Jake is a breathe of fresh air when there's like a million things Sox related to fret about. He's in a lineup of guys who still should be in the prime of their careers like TA and Moncada who have already peaked .A guy like Eloy we may never know how good of a hitter he could be. Was hoping Vaughn could take the next step in his evolution but not so far . Robert ,we're just hoping he doesn't turn into Moncada and just stay relatively healthy for once. With so much to b**** about you have to find the silver lining and those breathes of fresh air. I'm not going to fret over what he could be. I'm going to enjoy him while he's mashing however long or short lived it might be. I don't call that a personal bias. It's just finding something blossoming amongst the weeds.

Because he's just considered minor league filler. Never great stats or anything down there. Tonight might be the highlight of his career.

And if you missed it Remillard was the 1st White Soxrookie to reach base in his 1st 4 MLB AB since Johnny Callison in 1958.

Not to be lost, 6 no hit innings by the bull pen .

Remillard holy moly !

Great day by 10D !

Dodged one

I'll take everyone on the team making the same type of bad decisions if they produced like Burger. Oh wait they all do make the same bad decisions as Burger and don't produce like him. The guy has 375 MLB AB's and 25 HR . Give him a chance. The way people were talking about him before he even was in the lineup on a permanent basis you'd think he wouldn't be able to produce positive WAR at all like Vaughn has struggled with.

Helluva job Santos !

It is a sads state of affairs butnot because anyone defends Burger. He's amomng <LB leaders in HR s per AB. He belongs in the lineup and when you have a .250ish hitter who mases a lot of HR's but K's often would find AB's for the guy. That means even more on the Sox whohave been playing very competitive baseball even on the current swing against .500+ teams. The pitching staff has been a lot better but the offense doesn't get a lot of runs or walks. He's still got a 135wRC+ and 1.2 fWAR is which is only behind Robert on the team among position players. Criticizing him because of a 2 week bad batting average is not nor has it ever been among the Sox most pressing problems. Sad state of affairs indeed but when a guy fights back through major injuries and contributes more than all the guys that were traded for to be the catalysts to an extended run of playoff years and is always smiling and hustling people are going to defend him because he's one of the few bright spots.

Yea I'm sorry for some reason I misread Robert swung at the 1st pitch out of the zone which is what I was talking about not Eloy so my mistake.

I already mentioned that the Dodgers have a nice catching prospect behind their #1 prospect who is a catcher. I think he is the Dodgers 7th rated prospect. Dalton Rushing in A+ . LHH might not be so great at catching though but has a good arm.

Looked in the zone to me if you go by the strike zone on the screen with the ball turning white meaning it hit the zone. Now you can argue that the TV zone is inaccurate but that's all we really have to go by.

Well you know these 16 game seasons you can't have an off day or 2

Not on pop ups

Last shot at it boys . Let's go !

Kind of lucky Seattle has only 2 runs with 6 walks and 8 hits

OMG a 10D HR

a run !

A hit !

Sox will likely look like the Walking Dead tonight unless they can light this Woo kid up.
