I fucked up on the % of season so far, my mistake and I fucked that up. Too many IPA's i guess. I still do think this team will be 1st in the central by Mid May/early June and get better as the season goes on. Call me a Homer fine. That's what I am. Im doing keto too, lets hope you are right. Team has no identity right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 didn't have a problem with Vaughn sitting tonight, but he should've played yesterday as much as Williams has been in the lineup, my guess is they wanted to see what they had before DFAing him, with Engel and Hamilton hurt, he was gonna get as many looks from the Sox as possible Lamb for Yermin was straight up TLR trying to show how smart he is by completely overthinking how to beat Bieber Sox weren't winning this game, but injuries and TLR being a conceited ego maniac didn't help matters Hopefully Williams is gone when Engel and TA return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, Yoan hasn’t been good this year and we need him to be better but dismissing the fact that Covid could have played a role last year cause Freddie was good is silly. It’s also probably not helping Yoan to have Nick Williams bat behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say it you probably get a pass. i say hit and I'm arguing with people all day. You don't bother with doing that. So that makes you smarter than me. I didn’t want him back, but I also thought the Sox would add a lot more than Eaton. It’s just funny to go back to the beginning of the offseason where we dreamed of an incredible lineup....and now we’re here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaRoache Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 White Sox fans deserve better. Some of these games feel like losses before they begin. No excuses in a championship hopeful season to run these lineups out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about they just stop with the clean up hitter nonsense? He's stated himself he's comfortable in the 2 spot so put him there. Make him comfortable. Give him some protection and see if he gets hot. Quite frankly with TA out Robert should be leading off. If you have Robert, Moncada, Abreu, Grandal everyone there is in a better position to succeed. What's been thrown out there so far is not working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was Dr Fakey that you keep making excuses for him and it’s possible he’s just not as good a hitter as we all hoped he would be. It’s early and I believe he will break out but you sound like a Cub fan when you keep making excuses for your players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be real, nobody in this lineup is an MLB caliber hitter right now except Eaton. The entire lineup outside of Eaton belongs in Charlotte.

Then if you take on Tony's every changing line ups and poor management we are a good to great team, we have too many things keeping us down at the moment. We have Nick Williams, Jake Lamb, Leury Garcia, and Danny Mendick in the line up way too much for us to be good with Grandal, Moncada, Abreu, and Robert being bad to below average at the same time.

Hopefully the lineup shifts with Tim back: Tim Eaton (who looks good) Abreu Moncada (for now) Mercedes Grandal Robert Engel (eventually) Madrigal/Mendick/Leury This is a much more competitive lineup than what we are currently trotting out.
