have a day andrew!

Vaughn's bat speed is lost into memories.

It's a complete joke. I'm ready to fire Eloy into the sun.

Get someone warming if he walks this guy please.

So many bad ABs.

Blah. Maybe if he wasn't a billion feet off the plate he hits that ball out.

OK, here me out here Robert: he's wild, maybe make him throw you a strike.

jesus get the ball person on a diet.

Great game so far, keep it going.

Benitendi down to a 680 OPS, FFS.

Jesus christ we swing at a lot of sliders down and out.

Major Beckham flashbacks

falafel sounds good.

God forbid you'd take a pitch.

I'm starting to detest Andrew Vaughn.

You can use the quick and dirty rule that 10 runs = 1 fWAR. So .5 with defense, 1.3 with offense.

Giolito has his good stuff it seems.

I believe we cancelled one in Seattle during the really bad fires in 2021. God that was a trying time, COVID then fires.

So those same professionals that traded for him, failed to develop him, failed to ID his supposed "mental weakness" and then handed him a big contract are now covering their ass. That's what you're hearing dude.

Eh, everybody is tradeable, but the Sox aren't going to eat the money it would take. You just hope at some point he finds some consistent health and contact and returns to a 3-4 WAR player, not 1.5-2.5.

Cinci sucks and is rushing their prospects in an attempt to win 86 games. If that seems familiar it's because you watched the White Sox over the last 15 years.

Looking at the pitching matchups and with no Judge (who is carrying their offense) we should be looking to take the series. Of course, knowing that we'll probably get swept and go right back down to 12 under.

The odd man out is Sheets, I don't get it. Burger is the DH until proven otherwise. Sheets can take a seat. Sucks to have to play Eloy in the OF but is what it is. Moncada is our only above average defender in the IF. Until that changes he needs to be the everyday 3B. I get that nobody figured he'd only be a 2 WAR player, but is what it is. These glorified DH types like Vaughn and Sheets have no value defensively and they can sit more if they aren't hitting bombs on the regular.

Frank managed to hit 35 HR on one leg, how hard can it be!

are you kidding me? It was a crazy catch. 90% of guys would have just played it off the wall. It was in a huge spot in the game too as it would have put the tying run at 2nd with one out, instead it was two outs with a guy on 1st.
