jenksycat Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Sneaky Hahn has starters & offense clickin' then the bullpen blow every game. Love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 12:02 AM) Bummer continues to help the tank. Sucks Burdi got hurt, would have loved to see him as closer Obviously Tommy John is never good, but if it was going to happen eventually, this was about perfect timing. I'd rather have the bullpen be the reason we lose games than the lineup or rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 11:00 PM) By this logic, I guess you wouldn't have wanted Kris Bryant a few years back as he K'd 28.6% of the time in AAA. Funny how that's gone down in the majors. Maybe because he has elite bat speed & a great batter's eye and he's been able to make the necessary adjustments. Moncada's K rate was 28.3% in AAA this year. He's got tremendous bat speed & a plus batter's eye. He's a special f***ing talent just like Bryant and your view on him is simply short-sighted & lazy. Kris Bryant's OPS was 275 points higher that year than Moncada's this year. Strikeouts aside, his AAA stats in 2014 were insane. Moncada is not Kris Bryant.

greg775 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Doesn't matter. We're conceding games with this current bullpen so chalk up another L. Again ... fathom could get a hit off several of our bullpen guys at this time. Who cares? L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 12:06 AM) I'm gonna be honest- I have no idea what wRC+ is. I also don't care. You like peripherals? Try this one. 22% K rate at A in 2015. 25% at A+, AA in 2016, 28% at AAA in 2017. I can understand Blake Rutherford might need to fill in his boots a bit to reach his full power potential. I can understand that Zach Collins has been focusing on his D and his bat is still pretty advanced, stats be damned. I can be plenty patient with the young ones. But I don't see how a guy who has had serious contact issues his entire career will suddenly fix them to be a decent ball player. And Dombrowski still kept Devers and Benintendi and traded Moncada. Why would one of the game's best GMs be so certain as to which highly touted prospect to trade? See Kris Bryant's K rates at those levels (hint they're worse). As for Dombrowski, he traded Moncada over the other two because had obvious long-term holes in LF & CF while 2B was blocked for the foreseeable future. He was trading from a position of strength, which is what all good GMs do. Same reason Theo traded Jimenez for Quintana, who also happens to be one of the best GMs in baseball. And the early returns on that trade are incredibly promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure enough.. I'm still waiting on him to actually let his players with speed steal bases. Cody freaking Bellinger has more steals than Tim Anderson.

Nice loss Hopefully when this rebuild provides results in being more competitive I hope they invest in a serious managerial search. I hate a loss like this. This Sox played great until the pen comes in. Isn't there some guys in AAA that will never make it that they could bring up that may not get shelled as bad?
