CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Ok I know its way after the game was over but I couldn't help myself. Moncada did a lot of what made him the #1 prospect. He homered and hit 3 singles, drove in 1, walked twice, stole a base and scored 5 runs. Moncada raised his BA to .229 which is a far cry higher than it had been just a week ago. Abreu was 4/5 all singles and drove in 2 while scoring 3 runs. Jose raised his BA to .308 most likely the highest it has been all year and is creeping closer to that 100RBI season which we know he covets. Avi was 5 for 5 with his 17th HR , 1 walk and 7 RBI. Avi now batting .333 probably the highest it has been since some time in May. One of Avi's hits ( the last one) was the kind we have seen a few times this year, Yes it was an infield hit, he has plenty of those. It was one of those where the unsuspecting infielder took his time with a routine grounder and Avi beat it out. Quite extraordinary for such a big guy who also isn't left handed. Tim Anderson also continued his hot hitting going 3/7 . Sox pounded out 25 hits among them 21 singles. From MLB.com : Garcia's five-hit, seven-RBI game is the first by a White Sox player since Carl Reynolds on July 2, 1930. Their 21 singles Thursday tied a franchise record for the White Sox Oh yeah Final Score White Sox 17 Detroit 7 Edited September 15, 2017 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I wish Abreu would start coveting 120 RBI seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 More tidbits from whitesox.com He (Moncada) became the third player in franchise history to score five runs and reach base six times, and he is the second player in MLB history to do so within his first 50 games, joining Johnny Frederick, who did it in 1929. Moncada's five runs on Thursday tied the White Sox franchise record, last done by Tim Raines in 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 A sign of the times to come I hope. Yoan is starting to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm still always surprised by Moncada's speed. Speed is something where sometimes its kind of like a tier, where you are either fast, or acceptable, or paul konerko. And then some players just hit you with how much faster than "fast" you can be. When Yoan rounds third sometimes I think it's going to be like a cartoon, where he's running so fast the ground is going to start rolling up like a carpet behind him.

When he stole the base in KC at the same time Abreu hit that triple, and laid on the ground for a few seconds looking around and still got up and scored....lmao that was fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could get TA to walk some more....TA/Yoan 1 & 2 on the basepaths would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could Alomar and Lofton kind of action at the top of the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
