poppysox Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Let's put a 7 spot on the board in honor of the 7th inning stretch. Should be doable against these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GamesToLove Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Seriously, a sustained period of competitive baseball and multiple postseason appearances is enough for me. I've thought since the beginning that I don't think the Sox need to win a championship for the rebuild to be deemed a success. We did the one-off World Series win already.

I'd be ecstatic if the Sox made the playoffs three years in a row or four out of five. Even if they fell on their faces in the postseason, getting there in the first place indicates you've got a pretty good club. That would be a very refreshing change. One you get to October it's a crap shoot like Jerry Koosman told me, one freak injury, one bad bounce, one blown call by a bad umpire and you can be D.O.A.

I'd bet the Nationals fans see it differently. Their team plays the best season but choke big time on the post season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the White Sox are the only one of the original 16 Major League teams to have NEVER made the post season in consecutive years....I'd happily take that issue myself. Which is why I said what I did in my original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Madrigal and Robert get here they'll have 3 30+ base stealers. No need to risk a broken finger, hand or wrist with Moncada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 27.3% K rate. less than 24% since June 1 (1.1+ OPS since that time). BABIP is a bit up compared to his average, but he's been so fricking hot how could it not be? Top 5 MVP candidate and he could win it.

bmags Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It's crazy how much he has lifted my expectations. I think I would have zeroed in on 28% k rate as the place to be this year, but I remember just wanting him to move his productivity on 0-2 counts as a RH to bad level from awful. Now he is even a good RH htter! Development is a real thing I guess, and the fact that nothing can replicate getting more reps against major league left handers except facing it as much as you can.

The votesr do seemingly look for anyone else than Trout to vote for though. Dude should have won 6 MVPs already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but those guys are going to vote LeMahieu or Bregman, because playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
