Not with the five bigger name 3B piled up in front of him. Urshela (thankfully not with CLE any longer), Chapman, Jose Ramirez, Donaldson, Bregman, etc, Certainly not with just three homers at a traditional power spot.

caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Even without Luis Robert and Engel, White Sox should have enough speed to spare to not be hitting into so many DP’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Sox have 3 runs in their last 37 innings. 2 of those were scored on an infield hit and a blooper. Thank god the Sox prioritized speed and defense instead of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to take a look at Chapman and Donaldson's numbers again (and Urshela for that matter) if you think they've been better than Moncada. Oh.. and the White Sox are in 1st place. Alot of times that does take into account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloy is a 40+ guy, Robert should be at 20-25+ and I think we all thought Vaughn would be showing a little more power. Madrigal-Eaton are really the only spots in the lineup where decent to good power wasn’t expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Twins erupted against Plesac, 3-0 early lead now a 5-3 deficit. Of course, we can’t rely on other teams beating the Indians for the rest of the season. Looks like Franmil Reyes will be out at least 2-3 weeks with abdominal strain. Caught a break.

2Deep Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 When you cant hit and score runs its like a slow death. Hopefully we break out soon. Every team goes through this, hopefully not extended for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because not everyone is so well versed on advanced stats...and the White Sox rarely get more than a couple spots. Kevin Cash might prefer to add closers over starters to the ASG pen, etc. Sorry, iPad autocorrect at 2:35 a.m. with work tmrw isn’t being a good enough fan. Heck, half the posters who are normally around are temporarily giving up on this game already. Edited May 23, 2021 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtom Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 The 26-16 record was obviously fool’s gold achieved primarily against a crappy central division (minus Cleveland). This team is not ready to play the big boys. What we Are seeing this weekend is not all Yankee pitching. I guarantee the next time Montgomery and Taillon pitch other teams will hit them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
