caulfield12 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Nice to see the White Sox added a Tim Raines Day on September 9th...but they should have waited for a game next summer when school wasn't back in session. Will feel like an afterthought compared to Buehrle Day. Of course, the parting from the team was ugly, coaching-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saladino'sMustache Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Great piece of hitting there by Davidson. He killed that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Davidson bomb. #18. Yet his fWAR is only around 0.4/0.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hopefully that is a good sign for Davidson. He has been in a pretty good tailspin lately. After pushing his OPS to almost .900, he had fallen under .800 recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Daryl Van SchouwenVerified account @CST_soxvan 16m16 minutes ago Matt Davidson (.249, 18 HR, 42 RBI) was 4-for-36 with 20 strikeouts going into the at-bat. That was his first homer in 11 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also blows my mind that his wRC+ is only 108. But that'll happen when you strikeout ~40% of the time and hardly ever draw a walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Minaya's been getting a lot of strikeouts. Needs to get his walks and grounders closer to the levels he had in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renteria needs to stop bunting and letting our guys attempt steals regardless of the outcome.The kids have to learn and take their lumps if necessary.

flavum Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Doolittle was wasting one high and Frazier swung hard and hit it out. Trade value, baby. 1-5 vs Oakland could be one of the best things to come from this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had the usual Sox starting pitching they'd be right in the thick of it. But, they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
