Jack Parkman Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Watch how hitters react to Cease's curve and slider. There hasn't been enough of a sample size yet, but it is something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Something to focus on with the offense is their inability to elevate the ball. Since the ASB, they’ve struck out 32 times and have 38 groundball outs compared to 17 flyball outs. Guys like Abreu and Eloy are just pounding the ball into the ground.

Lip Man 1 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Another pitcher with a losing record and a high ERA facing the Sox tonight. Maybe they'll get more than two runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 This is year 1,000 of this damn rebuild and there are 3 players (yes Tim is hurt) that are guaranteed to be part of the team if/when they're good. That's a freakin joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 You can't compare those rebuilds. The Cubs and Astros were way more at aggressive/motivated at aquiring talent. The Cubs spent what $300M on pitching. Reinsdorf would spontaneously combust if he spent that much on anything let alone pitching. Also this is like year 7 of the rebuild. They only started trying to lose 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I’m not arguing semantics with you. The fact is 3 years since starting to trade everything with a pulse, their lineup is in a similar position( I say better) as the notable successful tear downs 1 year before starting to win a lot of games That isn’t to say there isn’t work to be done, but they are in a good spot.
