Jake Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 07:12 PM) Another milestone! (lol) Carlos Sanchez has been worth roughly .8 fWAR over the last 4 weeks and is back up to replacement level on the year! Seriously though, Sanchez and the Melkman have been critical in this run, hopefully they can keep it up as both are assets not just this year but hopefully the next couple. Somebody with the White Sox deserves a lot of credit for sticking with him. He had a long time where he was sub-Phegley level at the plate and they let him work through it. Most teams wouldn't. He doesn't have to stay this hot from here on out, but he does have to keep hitting well to show that we didn't just experience two flukes (one bad, one good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Morales barely misses a homer, then doubles and drives in two runs with yet another two out hit. Now leading the AL in RBI's with 69/70. One of the best signings of the off-season and likely the AL Comeback Player of the Year. 2-0 KC going to the bottom of the 1st. Just as importantly, DET up 2-0 over the Orioles early and still hitting. Just as quickly, Tulo walked and Donaldson ripped a double, so 2nd/3rd, no outs....probably a tie or worse like that. 2-1, sac fly for Bautista, RBI 68. Scored on one of those plays at the plate where the catcher couldn't block the plate...and couldn't make the sweep tag in time.

He let's some balls play him from time to time but for the most part he not only makes the routine plays -- he routinely makes the spectacular plays. Not many guys are fun to watch defensively on the Sox but with the sudden emergence of Ramirez and Sanchez up the middle the Sox' defense has produced several wow moments lately. I'm rooting like hell for the kid his twitter page is awesome, just all family and business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 06:17 PM) Hopefully the Yankees and Jays both beat up on each other or the Yankees just obliterate the east. Whatever happens at least we are in a position to scoreboard watch for a bit. If you think about it the Jays, with all that talent, are 1.5 games ahead of the Sox in a weaker division. If they are going all in, shouldn't the Sox at least consider adding a solid piece? The Jays have position player mashers, but the Sox have (suddenly) defense and elite (whole season really) pitching. As much as we b**** about Danks, most teams would be absolutely over the moon to have a rotation of a half seasoned Rodon as the 4 with Sale, Shark, Q out front and Danks as the 5th wheel. Yea they have some weaknesses in the pen in the 6th and 7th but if the offense keep up that will be minimized, which is what Hawk never seems to realize. Hahn and KW both know a bat is going to be worth more than another middle reliever and an elite reliever isn't worth the assets it would take. Toronto is only 0.5 game ahead, not 1.5 games.

About the only thing you can say is that he was coming into the season with a full year to get back his health and also joining a team filled with a core of players where he wasn't expected to be anything but a complementary piece. That and the fact that joining one of the better teams in either league tends to bring out the best in a player, like when seemingly any journeyman joined the Twins a decade ago, or the Cardinals/Giants/Yankees, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a good lineup, there's much less pressure in any given at bat and everyone loves hitting with runners on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
