HOFHurt35 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Another 10+ runs to a bad Rockies team. The more embarrassments the better. Doubt it changes anything, but the opposite would give Hahn a crutch to stand on at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bat has absolutely disappeared Dylan Cease too valuable to risk injury. Trayce Thompson (.619), Gavin Sheets (.647) and Zach Remillard (.640) the other options.

South Side Hit Men Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Lineup the last time the White Sox were 27 games under .500. Please note the Sox had all but two players at the end of the game under with an under .700 OPS. Tonight they only had two over .700. Ryan LaMarre, who I never heard of until this post, had the lone extra base hit (Double) for the White Sox. Despite this accomplishment, Ryan was pinch hit for my Nicky Delmonico. September 4, 2018 8 Detroit (56-83) over 3 Chicago (56-83) * Position / Player / H-AB / Season To Date OPS SS Tim Anderson 2-4 .719 3B Jose Rondon 1-4 .818 DH Welington Castillo 0-4 .741 1B Matt Davidson 1-3 .799 C Kevan Smith 1-3 .680 PH-C Omar Narvaez 0-1 .796 2B Yoan Moncada 1-4 .701 LF Ryan LaMarre 1-3 .716 PH Nicky Delmonico 0-1 .709 CF Adam Engel 0-4 .607 RF Ryan Cordell 0-3 .000 SP Lucas Giolito 1 1/3 IP 5 R 4 ER RP Hector Santiago 2 2/3 IP 1 R 0 ER RP Jeanmar Gomez * 1 2/3 IP 0 R RP Aaron Bummer 1 1/3 IP 1 R 1 ER RP Ryan Burr 1 IP 1 R 1 ER RP Thyago Viera * 1 IP 0 R Note - Colorado also tied the Sox with the same record (48-75) after the loss tonight Note * - Also never heard of Jeanmar Gomez or Thyago Viera until this post.

I am switching my allegiance for there stop this season to Jake Burger and the Marlins. Burger was 4-7 in the Marlins- Dodgers DH today, even though they lost. There was no need to trade Burger. Team control thru 2028, one of the top HR in MLB, one of the most popular players on the Sox team who was coming around.

And yes, the metal bat is a huge thing with him. A lot of his opposite field power he had in college in gone. I remember some shots to RF in previous seasons. Few and far between now.
