Most of what you're seeing there is value relative to position. Vaughn gets dinged something like 20 runs just being a 1st baseman relative to a catcher. And catchers get a massive positional bonus on the other end. I'm not sure if FGs publishes their positional value calculations but it's certainly pretty close to the traditional defensive spectrum with 1B and DH heavily penalized and CF, SS and C heavily rewarded. This is dated but is a good explanation. I think the values are much more extreme now.

The two elite defenders that were already on the team are hurt. Go figure.

Bro literally my first day of offseason BP frosh year of DIII the coach was like "you're never gonna hit for any power with that load". You watch a lot of other teams and they have guys selling out with huge leg kicks and loads and here our guys are looking to slap a grounder into the hole opposite way.

BIG DICK MENDICK!

Grossman is out there jogging.

Big dick Danny!

White Sox:

I predict cannon will get hurt if they let him wear this.

Vaughn taking an inside fastball the other way for a soft lineout is everything wrong with him. Pull the ball, elevate the ball, deposit that pitch into the bleachers. This is how it's done.

ELEVATE THE BALL! Jesus.

Here comes our Silver Slugger to clean it up.

He tried.

You can cancel the post game show. Sadly, not the rest of the season.

I'm going to throw something at the TV if I see much more of Lopez's 85mph popups.

batting practice.

He's touching 95 but he's getting lit up because he doesn't have a put away pitch and throws it down broadway too often. There was nothing in his minor league numbers that suggested he'd have much success.

Might as well just pin that to the top of every game thread until the 3rd or 4th inning.

What percentage of innings have we gone down in order? 90%?

Fletcher and Lopez would be nice players for a DIII team looking to win the league.

Our catcher once again having a hard time catching the ball.

vaughn once again just awful footwork.

Meatball turned into a DP, thank god.
