Chicago White Sox

No walks!

Rodon picking it up a notch due to his hatred of the cheating Astros.

Below average speed perhaps, but we’re talking about a guy in the bottom 10% of sprint speed. If the hitter fails to execute then the base runner is dead to rights. I’m not against if we’re playing for a single run late in the game or a high contact / high contact hitter is up like Madrigal, but that wasn’t the situation.

Depends on what’s agreed to in the new CBA, but right now we could and likely would.

As impressive as Rodon has been and despite being younger, I’d still rather extend Lynn. Dude has become an all-time favorite overnight.

Yup, Collins is almost certainty the second slowest guy on the team after Grandal. Just doesn’t make sense to hit & run with him outside of very unique scenarios.

It’s so bittersweet seeing Hard Carl finally reach his potential after being DFAed and now approaching FA. Hopefully we can ride his arm to a title this year.

Exactly, it was a horrible time to call for a hit and run.

Mendick is to blame too no doubt, but ultimately I don’t like managers over-managing, especially early in games. And I’m not sure I get the logic of hit & running in that situation there even if I put my old school baseball hat on.

Three straight guys get on base and nothing to show for it. Stop inserting yourself in games Tony.

What the fuck was that???

Collins need to play more against RHP. I’d seriously consider going with him & Grandal at C & DH most games when facing a righty.

We should have added both. TBH, if it’s not for COVID and Jerry going cheap, it probably would have happened.

That’s not Grandal’s fault. And hopefully once get Eloy & Robert back and add a bat or two that won’t be a problem.

Because walks are incredibly valuable?

Wish we got two there, but I’ll still happily take one.

Let’s strive mightily to win

The Marlins are now 8.5 games out of a playoff spot, go get Starling Marte to solve our OF problem. He should be our #1 priority. Then go get Escobar to help with our 2B problem. I like Mendick, but banking on him remaining a league average hitter is a risk we don’t need to take. Let’s have both and actually have depth / options. Throw in a RH setup man and let’s be favorites heading into the playoffs.

Let’s fucking go!!!

Awesome post!

A distraction? Good god you’re a fucking joke

Burger is 25 and Stiever just turned 24. I don’t disagree about trying to sell high on Burger & Sheets, but Stiever is important pitching depth given his physical ability, proximity to the majors, and option status. Saying arguably our #7 starter is blocked is simply not true, especially when 2/5 or our rotation are going to hit free agency next year.

Nope, it’s never fair to ignore that Hamilton has been one of the worst hitters in baseball over the past half decade just because you’re mad Yermin hit a HR on a 3-0 count while up big.

100% fair game...go all out bro. Also fair to question how anyone could actually propose using Billy Hamilton at DH.

Get us a win!
