Jason is a damn moron. Just wait until it warms up!!!!!!11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 07:16 PM) avi garcia is an earth worms worst enemy. Avi’s groundball rate has been out of control this year. Doesn’t seem like he’ll ever tap into that raw power. At least we didn’t extend him to big money after his BABIP fueled season last year.

RockRaines Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 07:20 PM) Here's every Avi at bat: Pitch 1: Fastball taken for a strike Pitch 2: Slider out of the zone, swinging strike (add some amount of foul balls/draws) Pitch N: Ground out weakly to the left side Last year he changed and the first few games this year. And now hes back to old avi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 07:20 PM) Moncada and Abi obviously do not like batting 1 and 2 in the lineup. Seems Hahn/Ricky are trying to hide some of our weaker hitters. Just let Yolmer or Leury lead off even if they are not ideal candidates either. Or Saladino. Let him play for 2 weeks and see if he gets good. Seems dumb to let Moncada and Avi suck when they are good hitters. Who are you benching to get Saladino at-bats??

This organization has failed to spot actual talent for over a decade, and yeah, their current prospect crush has a terrible strikeout habit, but you gotta have faith. Our front office has earned the right to not be questioned by the likes of you, thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
