Chicago White Sox Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hope scouts are seeing Leury is capable of being a dangerous bench guy in the playoffs and a decent fill-in in the event of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upton is a good player but nothing special. Expand Those are 3 above average (at a minimum) hitters. He has great fastball command tonight, it's just he still struggles mightily with his off speed pitches. When he was good last year, he used off speed pitches early in the count and then put hitters away with the high fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Anderson hadn’t taken a BB in his last 20 games and only one in his last 29. I’m not sure what our hitting coach is actually doing with these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Engel has a wRC+ of like 55 now. And yet they continue to trot him out there quite a bit. I really don’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That is the next thing Giolito has to to to take step #2. He has to get his breaking pitches over for strikes early in the count, and when throws one out of the zone don't bounce it or make it so far outside that it is an easy take. Jesus H.

I don't know why you'd ditch your best secondary pitch. When he was in the minors they were giving his curve a 65 or 70 on a regular basis.
