Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) He got outguessed right there. Here is fun with stats. Before that AB, Garcia had gone from a .530 OPS, to one just over .750... in one game. This is why quoting batting averages and such is a silly thing to do in the first week of the season. The more you know... Absolutely out guessed. Ya quoting batting averages right now is silly. He's hit the ball hard the past two games he's played.

lasttriptotulsa Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) Or Sands. The problem with him is that his defense absolutely bites. That could be an issue in a high-leverage situation, like the 9th inning You can bat Sands and then substitute Jackson in for defense in the bottom of the 9th.

Jose Abreu Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'd rather have batted Jackson and kept him in, but at least he subbed out the lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 How did Latos look today? I was only able to start watching last inning. His stats look good judging from the box score, but that can be misleading sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave up triple due to bad defense but I think he did good enough to win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I like the way we're pitching, but I hope our offense heats up a bit. 3 runs every game won't cut it with guys like Danks on the mound, or Sale/Q/Rodon on a bad day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an average SS in there, we have a couple of more runs on the board, at least. That is even including the amazing catch Kepler made in CF.

Even the guys that aren't putting up good averages have hit the ball harder than their stat line shows. I think this offense could be dangerous once the weather warms up. Plus I liked the execution to score that 3rd run today by bunting Garcia over and then hitting a sac fly to get him in. Seems like those are the types of runs this team usually can't manage to get.
