Green Line Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The guy hitting .122 since the Minnesota series should be more worried about staying in the lineup. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoUEvenShift Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Really hoping he has a bounce back June and is invited. Would be a fun show to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 He should probably start, I don't know, hitting homeruns then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think he would be fun to watch. But a rookie tied for 84th place in HR, shouldn't be invited. Get hot again Yerminator, and maybe you will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think it should be an All White Sox home run derby, but that's just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I hope Yermin is doing all the little things and big things that got him this opportunity. I hope one successful month didn’t get him caught up in his own hype with sandwiches, yerminator, haircut etc. hopefully he’s just in a slump and will snap out of it.

I'm wearing his jersey to the game tonight. He's gonna go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWokeUpLikeThis Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 HR Derbies are played out and not realistic. Rather see a Sac Bunt Derby. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an unfortunate turn of events. Not necessarily because he wants to be in this, but that he may or may not be looking to cash in on what could be more of a flash in the pan career. If he eschewed the contest, I would be more convinced he himself was convinced in his long term. Now with this, I gotta wonder if he is seeing writings on the wall. Dude, concentrate.

With all the injuries this year, you pretty much have to give him a pass on playing time. There aren't 6 guys hitting well right now, let alone 9. Now, as for the order he puts those 9 guys in, that has been awful. Eaton stayed too long at 2 and Yermin too long at 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capital G Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Lol he's tied for 84th in HRs.... sure buddy, you belong there. He needs to focus on adjusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Can Tony be an idiot for his comments and can Yermin suck? Or do those things have to be mutually exclusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 He needs to get his approach in check. He can hit but he is taking absolute G hacks at every pitch even if it is a foot outside. He doesn't have an elite eye like grandal but he has had decent walk rates in the minors so he should be able to get his chasing at least somewhat in check, 43% o swing is just too high for a guy who walked 9-10% his last 2 Milb seasons, he shouldn't be higher than 32-33 or so.

The Grinder Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 As hopeful as I was he wasnt a flash in the pan, (which I hope he still isnt) I really like the guy and hope he can stick around at least until the AL figures him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
