Jose Abreu

Off topic but Blake Snell getting snubbed is pretty crazy. AL final vote is really tough, too. Rosario, Benintendi, Segura, Simmons, Stanton. Those first four are all deserving.

Good for him. He deserved this nod last year.

He has weird variation in his stats. .290 OPS in the 9th inning. .544 OPS in "late and close" situations. But... .814 OPS in high leverage ABs. .910 OPS in tie games. Of course, all of these are a small sample size. Still interesting.

At least he's showing emotion now

So do you send Giolito back out for the 8th? Bottom of the order, less than 90 pitches

Good thing Kyle Tucker isn't on the White Sox, you'd have people thinking he's a bust already. His swing does look a little long right now.

Imagine if that bunt went foul...

Soria is only on the books for 2018. He's gonna be traded anyway. His acquisition does nothing to prevent us from spending on free agents this offseason.

That's not what that article is arguing.

Giolito's W/L record?

Why should we play the game to appease antiquated statistics as opposed to winning?

Pulling him with 74 pitches can't be good for his confidence either

7 game hit streak for Yoan

Avi injured or benched for not hustling?

I wanted to post something similar but I'm scared he'll give up like 6 runs this inning

I would say Buxton but the numbers don't match up. Barry Bonds?

Soria has been one of the better relievers in baseball. I will never understand why you can't let this one go. It was a fine trade.

I usually defend Anderson but the umpire was right on that one. Unfortunate for him to have a bad AB there since his first two were pretty good.

Altuve is a different breed

That would be great. On the pitching side, I could see Stephens being added and us going with 6 starters (or Giolito/Covey being optioned). In the pen, optioning Rondon/Volstad and trading Soria in favor of Vieira/Hamilton, maybe Gomez, would also be nice.

Who would've predicted that Kevmar Smitvaez would be the best offensive catching duo in baseball since June 1?

But a 2:34 BB:SO ratio and 63% swing rate.

He's at least better than Engel. At this point all Engel is doing is being a waste of space. When Delmonico is back, he needs to be in left with Leury in center and Avi in right. Palka can DH/LF/RF so that he still plays 3-5 times a week.

Leury needs to be playing CF every day. That way we could get Palka/Tilson reps in LF

Dan Jennings from GM to (temporary) manager is another weird one
