Palka love is one of the stranger White Sox fan memes.

It's your hyperbole that makes you such a douche.

It would be a better, more watchable team, if they made about 5 roster changes now- Eloy, Mendick, Collins, Cease, and maybe Kubat or Lambert.

Castillo needs to follow Yonder right out the door and off the roster.

Your argument here seems to be "some people here think Madrigal is going to be bad but the sample size doesn't support drawing an accurate conclusion. BUT, because people do this, I can use it to justify a sample size of 1000 PA for Moncada to predict his entire career with absolute certainty." The fact is, the sample size is not nearly large enough to support any statistical predictions. And on top it of all, you make toss in your personal "I don't think" predictions based on whatever you feel supports your narrative. Go away.

This is not something you could ever possibly predict. But yet you say it with absolute certainty. This is why people bait you.

White Sox fans have always had a strange fascination with big white dues that hit homers and suck at baseball. I blame Bridgeport.

Do you even read the horseshit you post?

Caulfield alt account? ?

Why Castillo was anywhere near the batter's box in the ninth inning is beyond me.

The 4 shitty guys really were shitty today

He was injured (ankle I think), missed a game, came back, realized it wasn't fully healthy, and now is taking a few days off to fully recover

I hope that's the last memory there for Nicky. I hope. I've thought the same for many guys the last 3 years, but like roaches, they just come back.

Yonder has achieved Adam LaRoche suck levels at this point.

That’s our number 4 hitter! Nice to hear some booing

Dude has an OPS above .870 right now and there is nothing flukey about his numbers based on the quality of his contact. Sounds like you may need to go back to high school cause your understanding of basic math appears to be broken.

It’s .886 right now. So, yeah, If say it’s in the realm of possibilities.

dude be quiet you're incredible abrasive and predicting things like your all knowing isn't going to help your cause. You do realize that Yoan has an OPS over 880 TODAY AS I TYPE After like 30% of the season? You do realize he's still 23?

I've seen more bad than good from Herrera of late to even give him that benefit of doubt. He sucks.

Fixed it.

Pretty disrespectful and excessive from Grichuk there. Lay the bat down after a meaningless popout in May instead of slamming it on the ground.

Why not keep Leury in CF and give Mendick a chance at 2nd?

What I was saying is that people without a plus fastball always have to prove it. With his track record, if Keuchel were throwing 93, he'd have a contract right now. Pilkington, similarly, is going to have to prove it and keep proving it. May not be fair, but that's the way it is.

That and, in the world series for example, when there is that stand up to cancer moment where everyone is standing for a couple minutes. As Bill Burr once said, "there's a time and place for that." Like are we not aware already?

memorial day weekend is now a month apparently. as if the troops don't get enough support every day. sick of military shit in sports.

He misses on his fastball out over the plate at a disturbing rate.

Also, in terms of the Palka question, he is not an OF option as this point, full stop. And if we’re opening a spot at 1B or DH by DFAing Alonso, give the job to Collins who has a much better shot of being a long term fixture. Palka had his opportunity this year and completely fell on his face. He’ll need a lot of injuries or trades to re-enter the mix IMO.

So you're saying you think Reinsdorf had something to do with the train's scheduling Just to have people drive and park in the parking lots ? Wouldn't it make more sense to have more fans buying more tickets and then also buying concessions ?

They waited three hours and it was still raining. You take the rain shortened win and don't even give the Jays a chance in the final four innings. Works perfectly fine for me.

I don't want to see Delmonico up in a white sox uni again. Really likeable guy.. but yeah at this point he doesn't have it.

Chernobyl has been solid so far as well. His Dark Materials looked amazing.

Yea some parts were frustrating, but whatever I wanted to enjoy it and did to an extent. Can't believe it's over, super excited to some day, in the far far future, read the books and the deeper detail in the story. This was and is a huge part of my life, there were highs and lows but it's been a journey I would do again and may still do all over again. Probably going to take a break from the series until the book comes out.

Would have been hard to write a dumber ending if you tried lmao

The HBO tradition of taking a first class long run series and having some over thought ending that makes most angry. They did this with the Sopranos and now they have done it with GoT. Underwhelming.

Anthony Rendon 2.0

The Fangraphs update just gave Moncada a huge bump defensively. He is now at a -0.1 defensive rating, way up from ~ -3, and 14th in baseball (among 3B). As a result, he is currently sitting at 1.6 fWAR and is on pace for about 5.8 fWAR. I was against moving him to 3B originally, but I want him to stay there now.

Alonso and Castillo combine to go 0-8 yet Rick insists on keeping them in the middle of the lineup. Can he be that baseball-stupid or is he simply bull headed? And I'm getting close to putting Herrera into the "Rick Hahn failure" off-season to go with the other duds he's acquired.

It seems Renteria’s lineup construction eliminates the chance of scoring in so many situations.

There we go! Time for a Yonder flare

Clearly its not, he can't ever attain 870.

RR’s moves are so push-button pre-programmed.

it's at 884 now.

Which is frustrating as fuck. Guys have bad stretches and clearly he’s in one of those right now. But Ricky gonna Ricky and just roll with the same old same old each & every day.

Nice Leury.... Don't stop now boys!

I fucking ignored you, why do I have to keep reading your garbage posts!!

The thing that frustrates me about Herrera isn’t his recent suckage, but the fact Ricky keeps rolling him out in high leverage situations. Until he gets his shit together, may use in the middle innings so he’s not killing us?

That wasn't even a terrible pitch. Vlad Jr is just gonna be a monster.

Herrera, another Rick Hahn FA gem.

Palka 1-2 with 2 more walks today. Hard to tell if this new patience is real unless you bring him up.

It depends on the situation and the person at bat. I am not a never bunter and sometimes the threat of the bunt is almost as powerful as the bunt itself but late in a one run game or less, with less then two outs, with a runner at 1st you have to be able to bunt. I often though see managers after the game say well I bunted early because it seemed like it was going to be a close game that is what I have a problem with.
