*fast forwards to 8/1/2020 where Andrew Vaughn is slashing .300/.400/.600 for Charlotte*

What a weapon he will be the 2nd week of the season 2020.

Can you discuss the Cubs on a Cubs board with fellow Cubs fans? Great, thanks!

Watch more baseball in the Sox organization. You wont be disappointed. Base running I don't think is even coached. I watched Zavala kill a rally last week.

And with that HR, TA qualifies with PAs and is sitting tied with Lamaheiu at .331! 431 PAs needed to qualify after tonight and Timmy just had his 432nd.

"Abreu stat padding in another blowout game" - Ron.

Too bad we didn't have a decent CF to call up in September 😎

lol thanks. Back in my heyday of Soxtalk!

This did not age well.

Fun game nevertheless . 9th inning was exciting.

When was the last time you seen someone in this organization that knew how to run the bases?

With as many times as Moncada has been screwed in his career with borderline pitches, it's nice to see one go his way.

Jimenez about to pass McCann on the OPS charts... How many times in the last, oh, say decade...has everyone written how easy it is to find "acceptable" hitters at the corner outfield spots, 1B and DH. The White Sox, other than Jose Abreu, have spent a decade whiffing at this seemingly simplest task of all. In an era when every hitter's putting up 25-35 homers, that's inexcusable. Pitching, well...everyone knows how much volatility there is in that area, at least in terms of bullpens. Yet we choose the one reliever who anyone who followed the Royals from 2014-17 could have told you wasn't the same pitcher. He was broken, just like Carl Edwards, Jr.

That's disgusting and proves without a shadow of a doubt Avi woulda been great in RF this year. He's making something like 2.5 mill or 3 mill a year for gosh sakes.

That is a jaw dropping stat.

I really don't care if Nova gives up 9 HRs in a row. Just need the guys to hit well.

I'm still trying to figure out how he didn't score on Tim's sure double.

When the defense is terrible every year with different players on the roster, the coaching has to come into play

Okay, I think I am convinced now, Leury is drunk.

@GermanSoxFan probably punching the air defending this Leury clinic.

That route gets you benched on an HS team. Cant wait for Robert to come up next year.

I actually like him as a 9th hitter in a good lineup

I think Acuna and Soto ruined expectations for a lot of young players regarding fans.

I have to say I will never get tired of Jack Parkman musings about life. I don't agree with most, if any, of them, but they are always entertaining.

The next day a left fielders arm is the make or break from winning and losing will be the first in baseball history. It is already a historically weak defensive position and a LF'ers arm may mean less than anything else on a baseball field defensively. Manny Ramirez and Carlos Lee spent a decade ++ in LF - I'm pretty sure Eloy playing left with a very good defensive CF'er like Robert will mean very little. You're overreacting. Bad fielders have been in LF since the invention of the game and Eloy is far from the worst of the bunch.

Same. Really don't like the fit at all unless its a short term deal and Sox somehow find a lefty masher elsewhere.

Roethlisberger had 16. Mayfield had 14 (in 14 games). I'm not sure what Rodgers has to do with this, since I 1) never mentioned him and 2) I don't think he's the measuring stick for "pay him or don't pay him." If he was, no one would be getting paid besides him and Brady.

Soto is a very different hitter than Eloy. Saying a player has been disappointing because he wasn't as good as arguably one of the 3 greatest performances by a 20 year old in MLb history is reaching imo.

I think that's unfair. 775 OPS and 24 HR's in 2/3 of a season as a 22 year old is a nice start to me. The interesting part of his stats comes when you look at his day/night, later innings, men on base, type numbers. He hits better in primetime situations. Unfortunately most(all) of the Sox season hasn't been in contention. He also doesn't exactly have a stacked roster around him. Add another legit option in the lineup around him and start being in contention, and I think he will be the most impactful bat in the lineup.

He's on pace to hit 38 Homers over 160 games. The average isn't there yet and his k-rate has spiked but he's missed time. He could have been better but I think his future is rather clear and in no way did his ceiling or expectations take a step back this year based on his performance imo. That's why I would say his season has been fine and showed what we wanted it to show. He's 22 years old. He had just turned 22 when the season started.

The expectations for Eloy were so unrealistically high anything short of an MVP season would have been considered a disappointment.

Eloy has a 101 wRC+ in his rookie year. It's hard for me to frame that as a negative

This is maybe a WELL ACTUALLY, but maybe important if eventually you press charges--what you're describing is larceny/theft. Robbery refers to taking something directly from someone's person by force or intimidation.

Because he'll need those 2 weeks in the minors to prove that he's ready for the big leagues.

By not throwing to the left, obviously!

Nope.

That was Eloy's 4th multi HR game of the season tying the team record shared by Jose Abreu and Zeke Bonura .

If anybody was serious about Gordon, it shows the insanity of message boards. Think how old he is in a world we now think of 32 as old. Think how little production he gives. Same message board with a lotta people hating on Jose Abreu and somebody wants elder Alex Gordon who provides nothing with the bat?

WOMEN-VAGINA! WOMEN-VAGINA!

Great win! (even for the tank crew, this was a hell of a game).

Get ready for the AFL with our preview! Who among the White Sox will be participating?

I mean they have competed with some WS contenders this year...Minnesota at times, cleveland at times, Yankees, didn't they win the season series against Houston?

A lot of them are, yes. Sort of regretted how I phrased that. But doesn't change the fact that he gets to balls other SS wouldn't even dream of.

I'm willing to bet most of his errors are actually on the routine plays.

Your eyes will tell you Jeter isn't a Gold Glover.

I bought Charlotte Knights playoff game tickets for September 4th. We are sitting 2nd row behind the Knight's dugout. I'm very excited to see Robert and Madrigal up close.

Anderson’s offensive numbers this year (and presumably the next few years) would have set the table for a very nice payday through the arbitration process. Instead, he’s paid a mere $21M over the next 3 seasons and then the team has control for 2 more seasons beyond that at a reasonable cost of $12.5M and $14M. Just fantastic.

I don't like Rick Hahn but he has been fantastic at this.

I can see why you have trouble keeping a job. That is far too much supervision needed for most jobs to maintain any type of high level of production. Sounds like you need a factory or warehouse job where everything is on a movement and production schedule.
