Insp Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Can the White Sox avoid being swept this series? Can the likes of Alonso & Palka avoid being nothing more than dead weights to the team? Can Eloy prove himself worthy of the superstar money that Hahn decided to lavish upon him instead of going out and getting much needed free agent help? For the answers to these questions and more, tune in today's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Not likely. They are bad. Alonso and Jay both became dead weights the second Machado signed with the Padres. Palka is a DH but can’t fill the role because of Hahn’s stupid addition of Alonso. Yes, Eloy will prove his worth. However, Hahn likely won’t.

pcq Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Palka will be fine and Insp still won't make any sense. This team is showing they can score runs but they need to regroup. You have to take charge when you play the Royals. Coach Rikki time to lead the troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) You had to figure a slow start with Jon Jay injured. Maybe Gio will pitch well today and the Sox offense will look good, and everyone can overact the other way. Last year after 2 games, the Sox actually thought there was a possibility their rebuild was a lot farther along than they thought. Davidson was an MVP... They are obviously going to suck, but I wouldn’t make any conclusions on individual players after 2 games.

Palka has a hard enough time proving his offensive value at DH unless he can OPS over .800. Palka playing the outfield will make him a negative value player yet again.

Natural shortstops who can play any infield position and slug .500 in AAA don't deserve playing time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) I think the Sox are playing Yolmer and hoping he hits so they can trade him. He won’t be manning 2B for long with Madrigal around and he is getting too expensive for a bench player who can’t hit. However, I do agree and would like to see what Rondon can do.

flavum Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Last year, the Sox were the last AL team to lose a game. This year, the Sox are the last AL team to win a game. So I guess that means we're on our way to a 100 win season. Let's go Giolito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You should switch teams now to save yourself the inevitable pain and suffering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polar Bear Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Time for Giolito to out up or shut up. Need to see much better command and ability to get outs from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliusO1274 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hopefully once Eloy starts raking we can get Alonso out of the 4th spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 For fucks sake...give Rondon a start at 2B. But nope gotta run Yolmer out there every day...maybe he will come up again in the 9th inning and provide another craptacular at bat just like the first 2 games of the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
