South Side Hit Men Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 3 minutes ago, GreenSox said: Trayce Thompson - pinch hitter. Grifol lives in la la land that the most important thing is winning these gams. I believe it's more for defense, since Sheets (or Eloy) shouldn't even own an OF glove.

It's odd cause he looks more engaged and alive since they gone... Knowing Kenny who knows... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 3 minutes ago, South Side Hit Men said: They will tie the series if they hold on, but it's nice to see they have shown life in two straight games. They will be 3-3 .500 in the Chris Getz era with a win today. They finished decent last year as well, going 18-16 under Miguel Cairo. Bottom line is if we win today we will still lose the season series 4-3 to the A’s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwill Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Can I say I love Oscar Colas. I know he has not played great this season but he gets so happy when he gets a hit. I think he genuinely wants to be a good player. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Park Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 This is the Moncada that I was thought would be one of the center pieces of a champion . he sure has looked good lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t liked this guy since we got him in the Sale trade but for some reason I’ve really been pulling for him this year, one reason probably because I really respect his defense at third base.

He is outstanding defensively at 3B. I was against the Burger trade but I also thought the talk of moving Moncada to 2B to make room for Burger at 3B was ridiculous. Premium defense is important and Moncada provides that at 3B. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Given the lack of starting pitching unless the Sox are willing to go out and somehow acquire three starting pitchers you have to give consideration to Clevinger returning next year like it or not. He has been solid in this disaster of a season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Does it seem like Sosa isn't completely overmatched any more. The last 2 weeks he at least looks like an MLB player at the plate. I don't think his range is gonna get better though. Hands and arm look OK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseball_gal_aly Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I agree with this guy. I know I talk s%*# about Yoan because he's not worth his contract but man if he stayed healthy it completely changes the trajectory of the 2016-17 rebuild.

He's been essentially average to below average offensively for four straight seasons. Has it been all injury related? Seems like there's probably a lot more to it...

Highland Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Grifol stated that fans don't understand Moncada and that Moncada will produce more as his back keeps improving. Any kind of offense will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on all the reports that have been coming out from various people/sources (including mine this past off season) he isn't the "baseball-smartest" guy around and seems to be a disruptive clubhouse presence.
