Chris Sale Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Ugh Abreu hit would be asking for too much there. Would feel so good to steal this game! TA comes through again. He is playing out of his mind right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Eloy needs to make some adjustments...those swings were awful. Looks to have no confidence at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Since I don’t watch MiLB (just read box scores and scouting reports), I’m befuddled as to what’s so special about Eloy. We all know his defense is garbage and his swing, especially on breaking stuff, looks atrocious. Much improvement needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 55 minutes ago, Jose Abreu said: Not too far off. Add an earned run and subtract the 2 walks. Yeah, I was pretty close there, although I wouldn’t call it a big start. Promising in a lot of ways (good velocity, lots of strikes, no walks), but he could have easy dominated today with sharper secondary stuff and a little better command. Regardless, it was a much needed step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know his defense is garbage and his swing, especially on breaking stuff, looks atrocious. Much improvement needed. He made a lot more contact in the minors. He also hit the ball hard all over the place. Right now, even his contact is relatively weak. He'll get better, he has to make adjustments. Defensively though....he's a DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada and Eloy rated as high if not higher than all those guys and yet we have to wait and see. I guess if Eloy becomes Moncada his Sophmore year then all is fine. But would be nice to not have to wait and hold our breathes for anyone of these guys. Maybe Cease and Robert will be those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I'm incredibly annoyed that they're still struggling with the fucking Royals and Tigers. They have twice as much talent than both of them combined and they still lose series to those schmucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're underperforming. Am I stupid to think they should be right there with the Twins and Indians? Based on what I've seen this year out of the young pitchers and hitters they should not be losing series to the Royals and Tigers. Disappointed in Eloy and Abreu so far but outside of that there are a lot of positives here. Lopez/Giolito look worse than they've actually pitched because they had one bad start and it is April so that skews the stats.

They’re still starting 3-4 crappy players every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bullpen also looks worse than it is at the back end because of a bad outing from Fry and Jones. Both still have nasty stuff. Maybe I'm just being overly optimistic, idk.

They're already the 2nd worst team in fWAR defensively, and that's a big reason they've lost some of their recent games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily think Alonso has been bad he has 12 walks and is on an unlucky BABIP streak. Yeah the catchers are bad and I disagree about Jones. Abreu has been shitty.
