Here's compared to the league Expand I would say there's a near zero percent chance that the Sox coaches know these numbers re: Burgers speed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like is Jake Burger legitimately faster than Ronald Acuna Jr? Seems difficult to believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Train to 35th Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 On 4/26/2023 at 4:09 PM, JoeCredeYes said: So Colas shows the expected rookie slow down after the league adjusts to him and he now can't crack the startling lineup. Classic White Sox, the season is already meaningless, let him take his lumps and play nearly every day. Expand The beat goes on, let's throw anyone out in RF except an actual outfielder and see what happens. Meanwhile we still have no MLB ready RF or 2B while Hahn claims we are "competing for multiple championships." and "talk to me after the parade". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) I wonder how many games Colas has now sat to where leaving him Triple-A for a few weeks to get the extra year of control would have made sense. Edit: with a 7-17 record with Colas starting in 17 of those games, the team is 5-12 in games he was in the starting lineup. Really moving the needle!

TheBooneLoganEra Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 On 4/26/2023 at 4:37 PM, Buehrle>Wood said: Colas is batting .100 vs lefties this year. Sheets and Haseley should never be in vs lefties. So yeah. Maybe play Colas and get some experience but yes, these are the bodies he has. Andrus, to his credit, has a .375 OBP vs Lefites this year in 24 PAs. Not a big sample size but at this point, may as well be 1.000 for what we are dealing with. There is no making a good line-up here. Expand I understand the lack of options. But Robert should be closer to 9 than 3. Vaughn should never be 2 and I don't care what Andrus is doing he isn't giving quality at-bats to be leadoff. I hope I'm dead wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's supposedly in the top 15% or some s%*# (Robert in the top 11%) sounds ridiculous personally Expand actually, I'd never heard that before. I've always said he was fast for a big man though. I would bet he's faster to first base than TA. Tim is the slowest guy out of the batters box on the team. Maybe even the whole league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
