Sosa Bomb.

Lopez's curve is a much better pitch than his slider. It looks like he's bringing the cutter/curveball combo back. I don't understand why he went away from that as it worked so well last year.

LOL. Gimme a break. You pulled some stats out of your butt and I pointed it out. I didn't say it sucked. If you don't want it pointed out, don't be wrong for no reason. Easy.

Madrigal in 52 games in 2019 .296/.362/.399 20 SB 5 CS. .761 OPS

I'm VERY hesitant to move Moncada back to second, as he's hitting his stride at 3rd. Anything is possible, but I just don't want to do it to him again.

Robert just KILT a hanging breaking ball.

I'm sorry, who?

Yeah, it’s a bummer they put him in.

TA being this good makes me unbelievably happy. Baseball needs guys like him desperately

Love Ricky taking him out. Letting him leave on a high note. Weird seeing Ricky making decent decisions with the starters lately.

I agree. I want them both to have the entire offseason to put any work in that they may need to in order to be successful. It's past time to worry about service time considerations, it's time to maximize their window. It starts next season, IMO. Guys who have a chance to contribute should be up as soon as they're ready.

He's turning into a star before our eyes. Both he and Giolito have made massive turnarounds from last season and it is wonderful.

Probably not much

I didn't "not like" your comment. You asked a leading question and I responded.

He knows nothing, just like BarStool Dave.

They give free stuff to fans. It's fine. It doesn't bother me.

Moncada is locked in. He's striking out a lot less. I can't wait for the upcoming XBH binge.

You said he's been hitting .375. The time frame you stated produced a record of 11 for 37, which is ,297. The time frame you then amended it to gave a record of 11 for 33. To hit .375, it'd need to be 11 for 29 (which is .379). You were off by four at bats, even on your second attempt. Don't be off by four at bats. I've loved this team since I was six. I will always root for this team. I want this team to be GREAT. The thing is...the management consistently makes this team bad. They've failed for ten years to anything. I wouldn't last ten years at my job if I sucked at it. Why should we give them ANY leeway? To make this franchise good, which is probably the thing I want most on this planet after the health and wealth of myself, my wife, and my kids, I think somebody else should be running the show. Hating Rick Hahn, Kenny Williams, Jerry Reinsdorf, and Rick Renteria does not make me an unsuitable Sox fan.

I pulled stats "out of my butt?" I was off by ONE at bat. That's some serious skill and my anus must be pretty lucky. Honest to god dude, you're completely miserable. You come onto this forum daily and act foolish by making ridiculous claims and predictions. You clearly can't stand anything that's going on with this organization, so why even bother?

I wish people would actually be informed before they personally insult others. I'm biased being in the field and knowing these guys but seriously. The primary job of the people you are insulting to to work with them AFTER injuries happen. They work with the strength and conditioning group to help prevent injuries However, they can't prevent them. They may be having issues trying to rehab them as well but if that's the case do your research and put the physicians in there as well as the athletic trainers follow their orders as well.

"Is Cease going to be call-" "I'm sorry, can I interrupt you for a second? I just wanted to say the rumors are true: I am the worst manager in baseball. Wanted to let everyone know. Thanks" Amazing.

White Sox are THE place for useless veterans on the position player side.

Madrigal actually should have walked that at bat. Got jobbed on a very bad strike call. He's locked in. Done alot of damage today being behind in the count. Solid contact all day.

Edit: whoops. had that backwards. Still, Robert with a homer

Game , goodnight

Moncada is hammering the ball

@Jack Parkman definitely deserves a ton of credit on Gio. I don’t know what he saw last year, but Gio is a total stud. Glad he was right because the road to contention is that much easier with one our TOR spots filled. Now I’m just hoping Lopez can regain form by bringing back the curveball and at least emerge as a quality #4 type starter. I believe he’s far more capable than that, but honestly that might be good enough for what we need once Kopech, Cease, and a high end free agent are in place.

Agreed

It was why he sat last Sunday

Okay that's fair. I was just curious what other people thought. trust me it doesn't ruin my sox experience when I watch games.

He's ditched the slider and is going with a cutter and curve. I think that he's using a cutter because it has a different speed and movement profile than his slider.

Soxmath is fine. If you don't like it, don't watch it. At least people win stuff, unlike picks to click which were meaningless.

sorry to get off topic but forget about Cease. Jason Kinander is 0 for 2

Not if they're mountains of humans!

I agree 100% I just feel like they've been rolling into a ton of them lately

Cheapie

Oh my god that was so effortless. 471ft.

WAR for relievers? lawl

Just be honest and say, I’m sorry Sox fans that I’m the worst manager in the majors. 😂

Why/how was he so calm? Wild Anyways, isn't he 2021 Draft eligible earliest?

That Vandy Rotation is gonna have Rocker and Leiter in it next season. 😮

You only need to have one team willing to overpay to solve their late inning relief problem. The trades of Sale, Q & Eaton were all overpays because of perceived needs of the various teams we sold to. In the case of Sale and Q the media constantly said the Sox are asking to much. When Rick actually has something to sell he does quite well.

Gladney is done. So are a bunch others. The 3rd rounder is a rich young man.

Jay was always a useful player in the way L. Garcia is useful. Decent all around player and doesn't cost a ton. Good teammate by all accounts. He just doesn't belong getting at-bats instead of Tilson or Cordell or anyone who might have a roll on our contending roster. Some careers just kind of drift away without anyone being at fault.

According to a story at MLB.com and at the Sox web site, he's been given some time off to "get a mental respite." Which is a polite way of saying he sucks and needs to be benched. Better late than never I suppose by the Sox.

Wait, people still use ERA to judge a reliever's ability? In 2019? Are we also still using RBI to judge hitters? Or errors to judge fielders?

I want Cole and Ozuna + RP. at some point in 2020 I would like to see this: C-McCaan/Collins 1B- Abreu/Collins 2nd- Madrigal SS- TA 3rd- Yoan OF- Ozuna, Robert, Eloy SP: Cole Gio Kopech Cease Rodon/Lopez

Yeah exciting is never the issue. Converting is.
