Cutoff man let the throw go through. The play at the plate was somewhat close.

You still need a 1B even in an NL park, and I trust Grandal's bat far more than Abreu's right now.

Collins catching Giolito doesn't have to mean Grandal is out of the lineup. There is another position Grandal plays.

I'll be honest, I'm a bit hesitant to click on a link labeled "Jim Crane's ass"

The Offense - Near Term Actions
CentralChamps21 replied to Chicago White Sox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
First pitch hitting approach needs to vary by hitter. Hitters that are better at laying off those sliders and/or working walks, like Grandal, Moncada and when he's back Madrigal, should almost never be swinging at the first pitch. Hitters that are prone to chasing bad pitches with 2 strikes, like Anderson and Abreu should be aggressive on the first pitch if they get something they can drive. The younger guys who have bigger platoon splits, like Vaughn and Collins, should be more patient on their platoon advantage but more aggressive on their platoon disadvantage. -
Having two days off this week lessens the need for him, so my guess is this weekend.

I've been writing off the bad offense to missing so many guys, but here are the OPS for the last 30 days from the guys who aren't missing: Moncada 778, Vaughn 747, Anderson 732, Abreu 710, Eaton 540, Mercedes 348. Only Grandal is above 800, joined by replacement guys by Goodwin, Engel and Lamb. Maybe getting Eloy and Robert back will take the pressure off these guys and they will do better, but I'm starting to get a bit worried about TA and Jose specifically.

A doctor famous enough to sell books is probably not a good sample for doctors in general and a governor is a politician so definitely not. If you have questions about conflicting information that you are hearing, the most trustworthy people you can talk to are doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists at your local hospital. If you don't know any personally, talk to your friends to see who they know and see if you can talk to them. They can tell you exactly what COVID is doing to people and how the vaccine is helping. They learn a lot in the process of their jobs and the best ones learn a lot more on their own. As someone who lives with a mother who is a nurse, I can tell you this. I never heard her discuss politics before COVID, but in the last 15 months, I've lost count of the times I've heard her upset, sometimes to the point of tears, at the volume of lies being told about COVID by people who are Trump supporters.

Civale just left the game at Wrigley in the 5th with some sort of injury.

Is he not out of options yet? Seems like it might be time for DFA.

We did a family vacation to New England. Flew into Hartford, rented a car and drove around all six New England states. Wasn't really going to go on any more vacations with my parents but they paid for it and they really wanted my help with driving so I went along. Highlights were Nantucket, Provincetown, Boston, Kennebunkport, and the Ben & Jerry's HQ (tour still closed though). I wanted to go to Cooperstown but my mom didn't care to go and my dad has been there (though not since Frank or Harold's induction).

6-19 GT: Sox @ Astros (6:15pm)
CentralChamps21 replied to Chicago White Sox's topic in 2021 Season in Review
That's how it used to be, not sure if it's still that way. Cardinals game got postponed, so Sox game should get a wider distribution on FOX. -

6-19 GT: Sox @ Astros (6:15pm)
CentralChamps21 replied to Chicago White Sox's topic in 2021 Season in Review
6 innings 3 runs is a shit start at home against Baltimore. It's a decent start on the road against Houston. -
Anybody else watching Euro 2020 (+1)? Germany blowing the doors off Portugal right now.

If they're going to build it, it needs to have a retractable roof so they can get a Super Bowl and Final Four, among other things. -
6/17 Sox @ Astros, 7:10 CT
CentralChamps21 replied to SoxFanForever's topic in 2021 Season in Review
If the Sox keep winning, there comes a point where if Cleveland is within 3-6 games, they're in a strong WC position and the worst that could happen at that point is falling down to a WC spot. Even a pessimistic 1-3 vs HOU and 11-7 vs PIT/SEA/MIN/DET/MIN/BAL still leaves the Sox 20 games over at the AS break. -

6/17 Sox @ Astros, 7:10 CT
CentralChamps21 replied to SoxFanForever's topic in 2021 Season in Review
I was watching MLB Tonight last night and they had quite a few look-ins at Houston. The ball really flies out of that place. Can't expect to win these games 3-2. Offense is going to have to produce. Hopefully Engel can man CF for 2 or 3 of the games, and hopefully Yermin is not in the lineup more than once or twice. -
Hahn: Too early to know if Sox will be buyers
CentralChamps21 replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
If that's honestly all it would take the trade should be made today, and Hahn should be looking for someone who would take Eaton and pay 1/2 of his remaining salary. I'm skeptical that it won't take more, though.
