Pretty hard to justify sitting Eaton with his numbers against LHP this year and the fact that we REALLY need all our best horses to get going to carry the team through this ten game road trip.

 

And that's why he is sitting him, 4 for 23 lifetime against Duffy.

 

Ignoring his 929 OPS vs LHP this year so far in 51 AB's.

 

 

Not to mention the fact that Danny Duffy has just come back to the rotation and is likely to face Eaton only twice...maybe, just maybe...three times.

 

And they say that Ventura's not really a genius using his intuition about line-ups. His last week, he's 6 for 34 so we MUST sit him despite his being one of the Top 5 players in baseball.

 

That's not even taking into account how bad we make our defense in one of the bigger outfields to patrol in the AL...east of Safeco and south of Minnesota.

 

(And I'm going to go out on a limb that most of those 23 at-bats came in 2014, when the Royals owned the Sox and Duffy looked like one of the most promising lefties in the AL the first 3-4 months of that season before injuries took their toll down the stretch. Not sure how relevant a handful of at-bats are in 2014. SAMPLE SIZE SAMPLE SIZE SAMPLE SIZE.)

 

Worse, in 23 at bats Duffy has struck him out 8 times.

I like that Rollins has an OPS of 1.433 vs lefties so when we face one, Ventura finally moves him down. And then moves Jackson up with the OPS of .400 to leadoff.

 

These decisions are making no sense of late

When was the last time the Sox lead a game? Felt like it's been a while.

 

Didn't last very long because of our pen recently.

 

The answer would be the first game of the DH against CLE Monday...and we were tied at one point in the second game.

 

 

Rainout game will be made up SEPT 19th.

 

 

Royals swing at the first pitch. White Sox don't...Farmer has that right, especially when so many pitches are for strikes and then you get behind in the count and become more defensive. Swinging at pitchers' pitches at that point.

It's all about the offense... we put no pressure of give our team confidence because of our dead brained, easy out at bats.

 

Been the same weak s*** for 4 years now and it hasn't changed.

 

 

They weren't playing and hitting that way the first 33 7/9th games this year.

 

But yeah, now they're falling back into bad habits again and the offense (and entire team body language) looks like dead man walking.

 

 

Sox seemingly not ready for Duffy's velocity. Swings are not the definition of short and quick. Throwing lots of strikes.
