Look at Ray Ray Run Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Sox should consider throwing Buxton less pitches to hit than more. Been on a heck of a tear since he came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellysox Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Didn't Rosario leave the game yesterday hurt? I thought he sprang his wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 We just need to play sound baseball. This team is good enough to compete with and beat the Twins. It's just that whenever we play this damn Twins team, we give away extra outs on defense. In both games where Giolito pitched, our 2nd base defense absolutely failed him. Just go out and play solid defense and we will be fine this series. At the very least, make the Twins earn it. Don't just give it to em on a silver platter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 2 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: all of it sounds good but for the maddening game threads; these threads drive my blood pressure through the rough. You'd think it was 2016 in most of them. my wife usually goes to the room and comes out for 1 or two innings to say how long the games are then retreats back into the room; only to continually ask is that it? then comes to watch the last inning lol. Love it that she comes in for the last inning. My wife pops her head up to ask me questions like "why does that guy (Eloy) always point at his arm when he hits a home run? Ask your friends on that site." I didn't ask but did google it to get her an answer better than my original response..."that's Eloy!!!" Game threads can be maddening, but I forgot to mention that I have started the last 3 games with a beer, but kept it at 1 to not get too sucked into the game thread madness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Yes, would also love to see McCann catch Cease, with Grandal at 1B and Abreu DH. And Parrot should be hitting 7th at this point, unless Ricky is sending a message to Rick. Does anyone here recall the cartoons in 2006 with Ozzie playing a pirate and Hawk a parrot saying "Can of Corn" and his other cheesy phrases? This is the closest Encarnacion should get to the field Photos courtesy of http://www.scottietheparrot.com/portfolio/whitesox.htm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Pony laying on thick in the pre-game banter Jacob Shiner @jacob_shiner 45m Replying to@stevestone I was thinking the same thing. Grandal has started the other two games against Berrios and gone 0-6. Ridiculous. Steve Stone @steveston 39m You noticed that Patrick Thornton @MeatFriday Replying to @stevestone Well, there are only 14 games left so I guess it's good to rest the best hitters a lot. It's good to have at least 2 or 3 of the best OPS hitters sitting out every game. It's really important to get Mazara, Mendick, Sanchez, and Encarnacion a lot of at-bats. Really important.

South Side Hit Men Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Oh, snap, now the cannon pointed at the other Rick. Money Mark @MarkMyWords35 37m Do you see any hope in the Sox being able to keep James McCann by resigning him in the offseason? Or should we consider this last stretch/playoffs as his swan song in a Sox uniform? Steve Stone @stevestone Replying to @MarkMyWords35 There is alway a chance.

I see it more as an indictment over paying the highest contract in White Sox history to your second best catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never have enough good catching. Grandal is doing exactly what he was brought here to do. That's take a lot of pitches, get on in front of the mashers, and hit for some power once and awhile. I don't really see the point in indicting the Sox for having two good catchers. Grandal is a nice fit in this lineup of mostly free swingers. Renteria needs to make better use of the DH would be my opinion, but you know Jose for whatever reason really wants to start 90% of games at 1B.
