How about a 5 game sample size? GOAT

He’s one of the best defensive 3B of all time

Leading baseball in wRC+ at this moment

I am pretty sure every White Sox position player will have a 5 game stretch this year where they look awful. I an sure we know what Yolmer is and what he will be.

...he's 26

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Herrera pitches an 8-1 ballgame lol

LOCK IT DOWN WITH COVEY NOW BOYS

Yeah not trying to diminish it it’s just striking, here’s where it’s at now. Last year he was 7 for 130 after an 0-2 count. 0-2 counts accounted for 21% of his PAs. This year he is 2-4 with a double and a home run after an 0-2 count. 0-2 counts account for 22% of PAs. He is doing more damage in all counts, but him turning his production after hitting 0-2 from horrendous to normal bad makes him a much more productive player. SSS and all.

Only Ricky could lose a game they haven't played.

We are so quick to whip ourselves into a negative frenzy when bad things happen that I fully support celebrating this small sample size by Yoan. May as well have fun when the luck is actually going our way. That said, if you (or the team in the extension hypothetical) are trying to put money on something, let's wait until at least May 1st before we start reading into the K-rate etc.

I unironically believe no position player on the White Sox will have a worse 5 game set than what we have seen out of Yolmer so far.

Yeah he will never ever be Machado defensively but that's fine. His bat and offensive game in general (speed and base running) have a chance to be better than machado.

Super cool wall in Cleveland that is 500 hundred feet tall.

Moncada looks locked in. I think he's going to have a huge year.

Hopefully they make everyone show up at the park then push the game back a day again.

People talk about his new aggressiveness early in the count but to me his best improvement has been on two strike counts, where he was truly unbelievably bad last year.

Offense and starters pg. Defense and bullpen bad.

Los vs *gulp* Kluber 12:10 Central start time. I am looking for 3 things: 1) 6 solid innings from Rodon at least 2) Clean Defense 3) Eloy's first bomb Let's get it boys. Go into the home opener on a high note.

Well done gentlemen.

Kimbrel as well, the reports were that he was looking for like 6/120 at the outset of the offseason. I bet that scared teams away, they went other avenues for their money and Kimbrel ended up hung out to dry. As for the draft pick compensation, even for Keuchel, when was the last 2nd round pick that made an impact for the Sox? Edit, looked it up. Bob Wickman was the last one, and Terry Forster was the other. Those are the only two. Ever. In the history of the White Sox drafting.

But they only played 5 games.

Can you get around that by offering him a minor league contract with a 12 million bonus for making the major league team?

I am not a Yolmer guy, but c'mon man. Its 5 games. Playoff series are longer than that.

Free agency is a myth

Why are you still talking about machado? Move on. Yonder has been a solid add so far and adds to the team. He's a professional

As noted, if Yonder wants to have a good year at the plate he's welcome to stay. So far he's been impressive.

Ricky won't be here in a couple years, lol.

I think we'd see Mendick or Goins called up first.

Anybody that thinks Ricky has a clue what he's doing with the pen should just be quiet. He spitballs it.

So herrera is in in a 7 run game? I don't get Ricky man.

If he's hitting the ball like this playing 3B...why mess it?

109 mph, 438 feet.

108.9 exit velocity @chitownsportsfan

Leury 4-5 haters can sit down. This is why he is the leadoff man. Now only if he can stay tf healthy.

he's done, already got the hug and "atta'boy" from Ricky.

Should have like 20 less pitches right now

He is a free agent after 2021. They should be hanging on to guys who can contribute in 20-21, not dumping them

Suckloy Bustmenez

I like this best hitter in baseball version of Moncada

Rodon has settled in and his stuff is FILTHY

Romy Gonzalez is injured and behind schedule. I was told it is a hamstring and he should join Kannapolis thereafter.

All it does is serve to further divide people. I try to take people as they come and just because I agree with someone politically does not make them a good person or even someone I would want to have a beer with. When I first heard the Smollett story I was skeptical but not dismissive the more that came out the more skeptical I became. We are sort of in a new era and I agree that some of the things surrounding women needed to change women should be heard everyone has a story I used to have a conversation with my parents about stories when they grew up one thing that always startled me was what they told about a teacher and perverts back then everyone knew but noone acted. They would say don't go to Ms Smith and if you see Mr Smith walking down the hallway immediately go to the womans bathroom. They would offer home tutoring there was this one girl who was new and my grandmother phoned and warned the parents they were told too late. They then moved to another city. I've worked at Bank in the late 90's where I was responsible for the uptime of the production servers my boss was a misogynist. Would he been allowed to do that now? No. For me it's important that any claims of racism, sexism, sexual assault are heard and not just hidden under the carpet but they need to be vetted too. We cannot just assume guilt and profess outrage before knowing the facts and we can not confer victim status either because otherwise we are creating a space for people like Smollett to exist. I also think when people prejudge these things it makes it harder for people to have a honest conversation later because one side basically has to admit they were wrong.

fucking meat ball and he barely even touches it.

Tomorrow has such a similar feel to 2017. The rain will be on and off, so there will be this constant tease that the game will be played. They may even take the tarp off and warm up..........then put the tarp back on because more rain is developing. Eventually it will be called. The Sox need to understand that they have discretion to postpone the game early and not go through this dog and pony show. A repeat of 2017 will just do more to damage the franchise and will cost them money in the long run.

Check out the new rule changes this year. The league and players union agreed to essentially obsolete that player type in exchange for a 26th roster spot.

We are putting together affiliate rosters. Outfields should look like this at the outset: AAA Charlotte LF Nicky Delmonico CF Charlie Tilson RF Brandon Guyer/Preston Tucker AA Birmingham LF Blake Rutherford CF Luis Gonzalez RF Joel Booker Micker Adolfo (DH initially), Luis Alexander Basabe DL A+ Winston-Salem LF Craig Dedelow CF Luis Robert RF Tyler Frost Bench: Jordan George, Zach Remillard A- Kannapolis LF Alex Destino CF Steele Walker RF Logan Sowers OF Ian Dawkins

I think one thing we all can agree on. Renteria isn't a very good manager, and really should be replaced after this season. Not that it matters much, but when is his contract up?

CWS is an absolute stud of a poster that we are lucky to have at ST.

Can we stop with this meme? He costs a pick and wants 4 years. It makes no sense.
