Moncada to be back on Monday
lol wuhhht? On the winning streak Jake Burger has 2 RBI's and one run scored while hitting 191 with a 333 OBP. He has zero XBH's in that span with his slugging % being the same as hig average. Maybe you the one who hasn't been watching? I like Burger, but he needs more at bats in AAA; he's just lost so many reps the past few years it's hard to learn at the big league level. He's not Vaughn.

How Unconcerned Should We Be?
Let's not forget the White Sox have played in the worst weather in baseball this year and bad weather absolutely suppresses offensive output. Walking was contagious for this team last year. Yoan will get in the lineup and Yaz will get going (already signs of this with him walking more lately which was the first sign of his explosion) and the OBP and walk rate will go up naturally.

How Unconcerned Should We Be?
LOL there are over 35 players in MLB this year on pace to hit more than 32 homers. There are 13 players on pace for more than 40 homers. 4 on pace to hit over 50. Those paces won't all continue, and the ball is certainly hurting offense, but as it gets warmer offense will get better, not worse. 29 homers lol.

LOL Jack, this is always your problem. Ready to jump off the ledge when things are bad, proclaiming you knew this was coming and then being all-in on the "badness." Then when they start playing well, you don't do the opposite. It's really nonsense. 1. Comparing them to Cleveland last year? Cleveland was 22nd in all of baseball in pitching WAR last year. The White Sox, without Lance Lynn, have the 7th highest pitcher fWAR in baseball in 2022. 2. Did I miss Tim Anderson, Luis Robert, Jose Abreu, Moncada, and Vaughn in Cleveland's lineup last year? White Sox have 4 regulars over 114 wRC+ without Moncada despite the slow start. Cleveland only had two hitters all last year who played over 100 games with a wRC+ over 100. Comparing the bad Cleveland offense to the Sox this year is absurd. I'll take the Sox over 84 wins for whatever you want to bet.

I think having Sunday morning baseball isn't an awful idea. I'm not a huge fan of all the different services but maybe these services can actually advertise mlb stars better than mlb does.

Cohen is a crook and a POS, but he's not going to suddenly cut down on spending at any point. This is who Steve Cohen - lavish to the point of absurdity.

Doesn't guarantee it, but greatly increases the likelihood of succeeding.

Not sure what this means. He's been completely dominant for a month of baseball. The Sox gave Kimbrel 16 million for a max of about 60-70 innings. Rodon is half way there already - 29 innings. If he gets to 60-70 innings, from a financial and impact standpoint, he very likely would have exceeded the QO value. One could argue that dominating for 1 months impact on the standings, rotation and bullpen would be worth it now as well.

His average fastball this year is lower than last year. Big difference is he's keeping the fastball up this year - which led to its success year one with the + spin rate which has returned. Also, he's throwing more sliders and fewer change ups.

That slider has made Foster's fastball good again.

Is Benetti at the game? The ball was hit 270 feet.

The fanclub has to be short and catchy; no one wants to join the Jose Ruiz Matt Foster fan club; doesn't roll off your tongue the same way.

Please don't disrespect the Matt Ruiz, Jose Foster, fanclub. This negativity has led to the unlucky appearance.

Burger hosing him; where's Yoan. Still faith Ruiz will overcome and get out with only 1 across - just a small hiccup in the grand scheme of his season of dominance.
