TheFutureIsNear Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 If I were manager I’d fine guys for sliding head 1st into first base. It’s just dumb and ultimately selfish if you get hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 This is actually a good thing. With TA7 back he will play everyday, and this keeps Engel in the outfield over Garcia. Madrigal needs to get back quickly though, since Mendick has to do a huge lift and SS backup is not great for him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Probably the only way Mendick keeps getting consistent ABs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendick is the only player on the team taking pitches and having good at bats right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the new normal of lift and pull everything, K or HR, is not necessarily the best course of action for the majority of Sox hitters. I never understood why with two strikes hitters don't try for contact only and to get on base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Ryan Goins has more than NINE lives with the White Sox...train your kids to be versatile Whit Merrifields/Ben Zobrists/Chone Figgins'es or left-handed throwing relievers, they will last in the big leagues until at least age 35, if not longer.

It's a recipe for disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
