  1. This is kind of what I was thinking. I don’t see how there could be a shooting and the place wouldn’t be cleared out.
  2. He is also a fan of pretending to not know a player’s name which is just annoying. He gave a good scouting report on Skorownski and how good his feet were. That’s the only thing I can think of that was interesting that he said.
  3. They did hit a lot of singles today...but they aren't trying to hit singles like it seemed like last year. Their plate discipline could be better, but they seem to be hitting the ball harder than last year. I have no stats to back that up but it just seems like they are. At least TA, Robert, Moncada and Grandal seem to be hitting the ball harder. The balance is much better as well (L/R) and I like that Grifol moved Moncada up while he is hitting well and has generally kept the same lineup. If we could start hitting just a few more home runs I would feel even better about the offense. I know we should take more walks...but if we are going to get this many singles in a game those are essentially the same thing as getting a walk.
  4. Yeah that would be interesting. It would be odd in the fact it doesn’t help you much now though. He is a few years away. But I like Abel.
  5. That is an interesting name that I wouldn't have even considered. Is that just a feeling you get or have you heard some rumblings?
  6. If you have Comcast you get Peacock for free. I only use Comcast for internet and get Peacock for free.
  7. This is what frustrates me about this team and their apparent approach. You would be better off with 5-6 hits in a game with 3-4 XBH than 11 hits in a game and 1 XBH. Your average would be lower but you would score more runs. Like you said this isn't very hard to figure out.
  8. No question. Really just playing Leury everyday in general. But those 2 were the toppers.
  9. I agree with this 100%. And I really dislike Tony. Once he stopped with the crazy lineups he has been more tolerable.
  10. How about a few starting bats? We could use some of those.
  11. This is one of the BEST posts/threads I have seen ever. On any site. With carefully thought out analysis and logic. Can you get a job with the White Sox? Any kind of approach shouldn't be a one for all because it doesn't work like that for every hitter. If you hit it better the other way (a la TA), great look outside and crush it. If you are better suited pulling it and crushing it (Robert, Eloy Vaughn and probably Pollock), then great look for that in the zone and do it. With 2 strikes just hit it where it is pitched to get on. This isn't rocket science....we should be able to come up with plans based on the hitter.
