Listen if you make him a DH at age 22, then he's a bust. I'd rather continue risking him in the OF than remove basically all his upside as a player so early in his career.

So the speculation that his arm was going be amputated was premature? Shocking.

I know it's a super unpopular opinion but ever since Eloy returned from injury in May to yesterday, I don't think he was bad in LF

he was a major factor on the 2005 championship team, and if you can't see how bad eloy is then that's on you, wow

Soxtalk gonna Soxtalk. A player comes up and has a good week = he's part of the future. Player comes up and has a bad week = hes awful and will never improve. Obviously not part of rebuild. Classic Soxtalk.

This is only year 3 of a 5-6 year rebuild. The Sox have plenty of time to find a left fielder.

Why does every other team get to hit the new “tightly wound” “less drag” baseballs, and the White Sox have to use the 1906 version?

Thanks for the Cubs wins Ivan, but I Nova want to see you in a Sox uniform much longer

Pilkington hitting 94 in the 6th.

You mean he won't have to have Tommy John on both elbows?

Dr. Google is the best I've ever had. He's caught my cancer early over 20 times now!

Going to bruise my funny bone just to be like Eloy

Yep. How exciting! Where is all the minor league depth in the Sox supposed top 5 farm system?

Actually he’s Goins to KC. Rimshot

Worst case scenario he gets TJ surgery. Even in that scenario it’s not like he’s stuck at DH forever. Look at Otani in LA, guy is a 2 way player and even as a DH full time he is having a great season. He’ll be back to pitching and hitting next year without being rushed. Some people here are so worried about player’s value at certain positions. Eloy can still work on his reads, fly balls, and routes while recovering and still be an OF after a year. It’s not like TJ is endgame for his positional career. Plus he’ll still be able to hit, we love him because of his bat not because of his Engel -esque defense.

Just so someone keeps saying this... Both of Eloy's injuries are the kind of thing that should be limited by effective coaches working with these outfielders.

I agree. This wasnt a case of him going for the ball awkwardly or trying to put his foot on the wall. This was him making a good aggressive play for the ball. If Tilson wasnt there it wouldnt have been an issue. This was a communication issue not a bad outfield play issue like the ankle injury.

Par for the course for you to assume basically the worst case scenario.

Bingo? You agree that Adam Engel might be their best hitter. Jesus fuck what a fan base

Fundamentals win or lose games. The White Sox don't seem to care about them, don't seem to stress them and then when you get games like tonight...outfielders running into each other, guys missing cut offs, errant pick off throws, outfielders taking bad angles / decisions turning hits into extra base hits...nothing is said, nothing is done, no one is held accountable. Same BS we've seen for years. And with respect, please don't give me the "rebuilding" excuse. High school teams know how to do these things, how can "professionals" not be able to? Just sickening tonight to a bad pitcher and a God-awful team.

Sounds like injury more serious than it first looked. Just lovely!

And then there will be 69 games left in the season.

If someone is getting hits it isn’t meaningless. Age is meaningless unless you’re dead

We are witnessing the bottoming out of a bad bad baseball team. This is setting up to be one of the worse second halves in White Sox history. Everyone from the GM to Manager to players to announcers seems already checked out and ready for the season to be over.

Stoney says Duffy is not a strikeout pitcher, which means he’ll K about 10 Sox tonight!

Flat-Earthers might be closer to correct than whoever is arguing that

Super Nova is exploding.

Let's just try not to run into each other.

👍

Too bad Jimmy Piersall isn't still alive. The Sox haven't had a good coach working with their outfielders since he used to back in the day.

Lets face it...you could trade Castillo, Jay and Rondon to the Toronto Blue Jays for a Blue Jays poster and our fans would be happy.

lol.. dude sucks I guess he fits perfectly then.

Let the Ryan Goins era begin!! Who??😁 Great another marginal player called up......like we need another AAAA player on this team

Thank you Dr Google.

What a surprise to all of us no one wanted Minaya.

It is unless you want next year to be another lost season. Players need time to develop in the majors too and it is better for them to do so in a lost season.

Sox Twitter is going to explode when the Sox announce that they'd purchased the contract of....Ryan Goins.

If he isn’t the guy called up what a damn tease, of all days to give him the day off. If that’s the case it’s gonna upset a lot of fans 😂

In terms of fangraphs WAR he'd have to be worth -10 runs as a fielder in LF to equal out to being a DH in terms of value. He is currently at -5.7 runs so basically on pace for -10 if he were to play the full season. The hope would be that he would get less awful in the outfield with additional experience, but even then I don't think he projects to ever be even an average LF at this point.

Yea probably not even close but ok

Talent wins more games than anything, and there was very little talent at the plate for the Sox tonight. As for that, the talent level on the field the next few weeks is going to be embarrassing with Anderson and Eloy out.

It's not unacceptable. The guy is a complete clown in the outfield and is a totally liability. The Sox need to stop trying to make him something that he isn't.

He didn’t look great, but not 6 runs bad.

And then be a month late in realizing they were hurt

I think the Sox plan is to try to get to 500 next year and try to compete for a wild card in 2021.

The only answer is no one has any idea what Giolito is going forward. He has a brand new delivery that is going to tax his body in different ways, so he's hit a wall. We don't know if he'll get over it or not.

A 4.50 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP against the Royals isn't "good."

This is so perplexing. You spent a lot of last season telling everyone that Giolito was interesting and may become something good, and props to you for that. Now he's having an all-star season, and as one of his "biggest fans" (which you kind of aren't, if this is your opinion on him), he's now "nothing more than a 3-4"? That's ridiculous, he isn't the 1.5 ERA guy he was in May but he also isn't suddenly a #4 pitcher. Long-term I think he's a very good #2 or low-end #1 but two bad starts (and really just two bad innings, if we're being honest) doesn't take a guy from future ace to #4.

^ this does not sound like the acceptance phase.
