Jack Parkman Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 33 minutes ago, The Sir said: Assuming he doesn't hit again tonight, Timmy will have a seven point lead over LeMahieu with twenty games left. I said nobody cares about batting titles anymore, but now because it's Anderson I suddenly care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 TA7 with 11 BB 93 K but kindakool having a Chi guy leading in BA, another in RBI along with the MiPOY waiting in the wings. Abreu with 30 BB 131 K and Moncada with 38-132. The leader has 159 K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysox Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 It is a big deal if Timmy could pull this off. He would join Luke Appling who won the batting title in 1936 & 1943 and Frank Thomas who won in 1997. The rebuild just gets better and better.

ChiSox59 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Anderson out of the lineup today. Really don't get that with him so close to the qualifying threshold. Let the kid play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudyLawRules Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Wtf...resting TA today? After today...he's only 3 ABs from NOT qualifying for title. So stupid...unless he's hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think Ricky is trying to get Mendick almost daily abs which really might not be a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the difference between .330 and .335 in a given year means absolutely nothing for future base salaries.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) People may not think they matter but name the last batting champion in the AL who was not a good baseball player. Bill Mueller the worst winner in the past 25 years. If you remove him, every player since about 1980 was a star with 1/2 of them being HOF'ers. Everyone else is a star. Getting hits still matters and matters even more for a guy like Tim Anderson. Edited September 9, 2019 by Look at Ray Ray Run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think there are many more fans who (a) want to not care about batting titles, and (b) enjoy saying out loud that they don't care about batting titles, than there are (c) fans who don't care about batting titles. Go Timmy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Anyone know what Tim’s stats would be on a 162 game pace? Can I find that out on Fangraphs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy, he’s at 107 games. So multiply everything by 1.5. 216 hits, 105 runs, 45 doubles, 24 bombs, 78 RBIs, 24-for-32 in SBs, and 16 walks to 139 strikeouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thanks. I thought that he’d be close to a 30/30 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Tim did a Q&A while on a flight yesterday. There's a lot of good stuff here but this one made it move. He's so good when he stays inside the baseball. This is the approach I want to see Eloy use. Be dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my favorite player on the Sox. Loved this one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
