Burger should be the starting 3B until/if he shows he can't stick.  Moncada moves over to plug the long standing hole at 2B.

Good plan.

TLR has ruined the season for many fans.  JR should listen to his customers.  Get rid of this manager and soon.

Hahn ruined the season with his poor signings.  Tony is just making sure we all know how bad they are which to me means Tony had as much a say as Hahn. 

Michael Jordan iis about as good an executive as TLR.  Both should be out of pro sports.

Abreu is way over the hill. 

He’s hitting like .350 the past couple weeks. He’s been bad overall but showing signs.

That's why I chose to say "over the hill" instead of "washed up."  But he's getting there.

Can't hit in the cold yet they continue to trot him out all spring.

I was told they built a great young championship core.

I was told this was their window to win multiple championships.

I didn't buy the hype then and I don't now.

I bought the hype cause seriously, on paper, Eloy, Robert, TA, Moncada, Abreu, the various catchers Sox have had, to go with Cease, Kopech, Gio, Lopez (he was supposed to be a stud as u recall), and overrated bullpen guys really looked like a dynasty on paper. Eloy, Robert, Abreu, Moncada in itself was a dandy foursome to dream about.

2 straight games that a Burger home run are the only runs scored?

[2Deep]

We are not  a good baseball team.

Nothing about this team says they wake up.

They have morphed into their manager

WE ARE WHAT WE ARE 

[maloney.adam]

They need to move in a different direction.

No energy. No accountability.  No adjustments. Same old crap every game over and over.  This tree needs to be shaken big time.

That would have been a million to one bet against three year ago...

I was told Rick Hahn is an elite GM.

I was told La Russa would have the team ready to play and would never be out managed.

I was told Grandal is an elite 120 game per season catcher.

I was told Mazara, Eaton and Pollock were the answers in Right Field.

I was told Nick Madrigal, Cesar Hernandez and Josh Harrison were the answers at Second Base.

I was told it was genius to rush an extension with Lance Lynn, and a acquire Craig “Our Best Idea” Kimbrel last July after heavy usage the first four months.

I was told a lot of things.

 

 

You were told a lot of lies.

Sox as usual we’re swinging at everything.  Not working any counts.  Not being patient and waiting for a good pitch to hit.  TLR, when awake, should start giving some take signs when warranted or give more playing time to patient hitters that work the count and take walks.

[The Beast]

Did any one capture the stat rankings from this year compared to last? It was a graphic in the Fox broadcast that was powerful.

The only "take sign" Tony has given in 2 years was to Yermin and he ignored it. Tony decided that was enough of being ignored and went back to sleep.

That's the name of the White Sox hitting coach

Yes I know. Sorry anytime I hear/see Frank in relation to the Sox I think of Frank Thomas

Abreu was 0 for 20 during the May run of record heat in Chicago. 

[Tnetennba]

Harrison and his .174 BA & .248 OBP really hit 2nd.  And the pickled brain corpse really thought it was a good idea?  It couldn’t be more obvious he’s grasping at straws and doesn’t have a fucking clue what he’s doing.

Did any reporter even ask him?

[pcq]

Tony is a double agent.

Abreu is not on the Top Ten list of Sox problems to be addressed right now.

Cesar is currently hitting .281 with an OPS+ of 101 while playing somewhat above average at 2nd for the Nats. He's not Roberto Alomar, but his play so far would be serviceable even on a contender. I still don't understand what happened there.
