GT 5/29: White Sox (21-25) vs. Astros (30-18)

Tyler atleast take some f***ing pitches; defend the zone, and take your f***ing walks.

He took a lot of walks in the minors, why didn't that translate to the majors?

[Feeky Magee]

How is JB with RISP; Melky?

Not that it really matters (both at this point in the season and ever), but Shuck has a 56 wRC+ with RISP and and Melky 106

He has bad pitch recognition and is a guess hitter. It's a shame because he's a catcher for crying out loud.

Hmmm very interesting. I would still move Melky down until he starts hitting consistently.

Lol since Flowers is ok that could be the funniest sequence of the year

[fathom]

Geez Flowers

That was a helluva catch by Robin.

Probably because MLB pitchers can challenge him with a fastball and blow it by him. As mentioned, he's a total guess hitter as well so not going to take many walks when you can't recognize a breaking ball.

[Balta1701]

And there's the circus bounce.

[Feeky Magee]

Carlos has started throwing balls. About three-quarters of his last 20 or so pitches have been out of the zone.

2015 White Sox

[Buehrle>Wood]

Awful defense

[fathom]

What the hell is wrong with this defense? Conor is just the worst defensively

[YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES!]

That shouldn't be an earned run, but it will be.

[Soxfest]

Conor has cost Sox a lot of runs.

[OmarComing25]

Conor should have had that.

[Feeky Magee]

Hmmm very interesting. I would still move Melky down until he starts hitting consistently.

Who is there to move there? Apart from Abreu and Laroche (and an injured unsustainable Avi), every single player is hitting brutally

[BigHurt3515]

How is there not 2 errors in that play

[fathom]

Conor looked like he has bricks on his shoes on that play.

[Dizzy Sox]

Hard to tell which was the worst part of that play--Conor's 'fielding' or Melky's throw. Both were terrible.

[Soxfest]

How many gift runs does this team have to give up a week?

[caulfield12]

Comedy of errors.

 

Home scoring decision should be changed in NYC. Feel sorry for Rodon.

[pettie4sox]

1-1 tie with both being gift runs.
