harkness99 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Tony not playing Pollock against left hander. It's required by natural law that he does at least one dumbfuck thing per line-up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxwin Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Okay White Sox, make it two wins in a row and hopefully gain some more ground in the Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played one game (Game 2 yesterday) since August 3. If he can't play more than that, he needs to go. If he can but Tony won't play him, Tony needs to go or just send Sheets down already, don't give a rats ass about his 90 OPS + "platoon advantage". And why the hell are all three LHB consecutive other than they suck ass currently and shouldn't be near the top of the lineup?

A-Train to 35th Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Tony's got Vaughn and Sheets so messed up they may never recover. Consider Vaughn a natural 1B who only played 52 minor league games before getting called up to to the majors only to find there's no position for him to play so he has to learn how to play the outfield and just for grins lets try him at 3B and 2B. Vaughn is too slow to play the outfield and get's exposed time and time again. Tony must have it in his mind that Vaughn is the new up and coming Leury. The Sox don't develop players, they un-develop them. Edited August 10, 2022 by A-Train to 35th sp 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone.

Lefties have an OPS of 1.094 against Bubic, Righties at .698 It's backwards against the norm, but just the way it is. He's been getting torched by lefties .352ba, .460 OBP. Hence, Sheets. Now, to me? You DH him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You DH him Eloy got a boo-boo last night diving back to first base, and he needs to rest so we'll DH him because we need his bat in the line-up. Eloy's another IL waiting to happen, since his bat is hot Tony should make him the permanent DH and play Pollock-Robert-Engel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way this roster is constructed it's always going to be an offensively weak or defensively flawed lineup no matter who they play.

caulfield12 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Mariners with two amazing wins over Yankees, and thanks to Royals for giving them Carlos Santana. First season series win for Seattle against NY in two decade. 27 one run wins, very similar to last year. Looks like it will come down to Rays Balt Toronto Seattle for WC. But CLE/Min both now 1/2 game back, White Sox 2 back. Edited August 10, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, that explains why Pollock isn't in LF, but that still doesn't explain why it wasn't Adam Engel or even Leury Garcia rather than Sheets. Also, fuck you Pollock, grow a pair.
