Snopek Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) This bum ass offense rode the coattails of the good pitching the past few series. The lineup continues to be junk. Edited May 26, 2023 by Snopek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 It takes a special kind of incompetence to draft top 5 in back to back years and manage to dig up two below replacement level players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy we have a 1-2 punch with no homers and it’s almost June, a number 4 hitter that hasn’t homered since the first week, and then minimal power at a few other spots.

South Side Hit Men Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Nice to see Crochet take a second inning. That said, issues vs. LHS has so far worsened with Abreu gone, and Benintendi isn't helping much as they are fifth from last vs. RHP. Perhaps an actual hitter and RF like Conforto would have helped far better than Flea. Let's face it, a RH playoff rotation of Faedo, Gaddis, Hunter Brown and JP France likely beats the Sox 3 of 4. Sadly, they will be facing much tougher RHS if they make the playoffs. 2023 Batters vs. RHP 26th .682 and LHP 16th .736 OPS 2022 Batters vs. RHP 18th .698 and LHP 7th .767 OPS 2021 Batters vs. RHP 7th .758 and LHP 6th .775 OPS 2020 Batters vs. RHP 8th .779 and LHP 2nd .887 OPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
