NFL 2021 offseason thread
lostfan replied to southsider2k5's topic in A and J's Olde Tyme Sports Pub
Ryan Pace, frankly, was not having a good offseason before he drafted Justin Fields, that bought him a great deal of (well-deserved) slack Teven Jenkins may very well may go on to have a solid NFL career but the way they've handled this reeks of incompetence. Fields notwithstanding, whenever Pace trades up to take someone you should be suspicious of him at this point, because he's probably outsmarting himself again. -

Lopez going back to Charlotte once Rodon comes back, yes? -

Taking a hard line drive to the face is a pitcher's worst nightmare -

His stuff is electric. Up there with Dylan Cease and Michael Kopech. Just couldn't get out of his own head. edit: for some reason I thought SS2K5 was replying to my post about Lopez -

I've talked as much shit as anyone about Reynaldo Lopez but if he's legitimately turned it around, I'll be ecstatic -

Is it just my eyes, or has Tim Anderson's defense improved drastically from a couple years ago -
Tim Anderson is just scratching the surface of what he could be capable of
lostfan replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Tim is always talking about how he's looking to improve or add to his game, but I think the low walk rate is just who he is as a hitter. He's aggressive and he makes high contact, and he's done it over a long enough time that it's sustainable, but if he changed his approach and started taking more pitches it'd start messing with his DNA as a player. He's not, for example, Luis Robert, a guy who is still figuring it out. -
Who is the most unlikely hero of the 2021 White Sox?
lostfan replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
This was kinda hard to choose but I went with Yermin Mercedes. Yes his run was a fluke at the end of the day, but it was a HUGE boost to the team after just having lost Eloy Jimenez for half the summer. Kinda wanted to go with Rodon, but his case is more like "finally living up to his full capability that we all knew he had" -
Where does Tim Anderson's FOD walk-off rate in Sox homer lore?
lostfan replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
This is one of my favorites also -
So how many times have YOU watched the replay of Anderson's walkoff
lostfan replied to lostfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
This still counts. -

lostfan replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
As exciting and dope as TA's walk-off was, this was just a regular season game. So maybe the most memorable *regular season* moment ever but the HRs in the World Series all rate above it by default. My vote was for Pods, *nobody* would've predicted that at the time -
Didn't do the customary bat flip, instead he used Grandal's move, which looks just as cool
-
Every one of Michael Kopech's pitches is a strikeout pitch. I love it when he throws his slider until the hitter gets 2 strikes, then gives them the 100 mph on the inside corner and the hitter just freezes in place helplessly.
-
it's nice that we have *so many* options in the bullpen that we can actually talk about the All-Star closer maybe not being the best option lol (low key he does seem to blow a lot of saves for a shutdown closer but maybe I just think that cuz I'm irritated about it having just happened)

This is a really good write-up (Chrystal O'Keefe is a really good Sox Twitter follow too)
-
Just before he got hurt he was doing so good at this, his scouting report was exploiting him and he was just letting them throw him trash pitches and walk him

The demise of USA men's basketball has been greatly exaggerated. It's funny how high the standards are for them. They can't just win a gold, they have to absolutely dog walk every opponent all the way through by at least 30 points or it doesn't really count.
