He basically carried the entire lineup in the second half. Expand He didn’t say Grandal was offensively challenged. Just that the catcher position overall around baseball is. He is wrong though about Grandal not having a monster year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Not when it's so driven by an anomalously high number of walks. Fine I just don't think he's a catcher that pitchers can't rely upon and he certainly can't control the running game (that's 50% on the pitchers too). He's the reason we now have to force McGuire into the lineup so much. And the division was already settled halfway through the season last year. I mean, those saying he is great are arguing the same for Moncada but Yoan hasn't actually been a great hitter since 2019.

Greg Hibbard Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I love the way Gordon Beckham, former grindy player and much beloved underachiever, just praised fellow grinderman Pollock for his amazing sacrifice fly, and described the White Sox as having a “great” day offensively. They were 5/29 with 2 doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is if LaRussa is willing to bruise Grandal's ego and do the right thing for the team winning games late. Should have been strike three there.
