Look at Ray Ray Run

In between again and guessing.

Statcast hasn't been perfect, but none of those were even close. Obviously strikes.

How did they not challenge a single one of those pitches to Mune? Insane.

My contribution to the bait thread. I just want to say, even Getz supporters can't claim most of the reasons this team is OK because most of the successes were still guys from the prior regime and they gave him no blame for that, so no credit is owed. Getz still stinks obviously. Banni is awesome, always has been. And this team provides some entertainment for the first time in years. Those are all true. I want nothing more than for WE to dunk on me as a Getz supporter because this team stays in "contention" into August. He'll be wrong on credit Getz, but we'll both be celebrating the outcome. Won't happen since the pitching stinks, but still.

How? Where did I say he would stink? My entire point was he would be good enough (along with James Wood) for the team to have to play him all year allowing him to set the record.

For all who want to invest, Sam is 75-1 to win ROY. Lock it in! Grant Taylor has been amazing, but Davis Martin breakout is going to make #2 very hard to be correct. Murakami feels like a lock. Vargas has become an entirely new player and Curtis Mead is dog water. This was a whiff! Justin Lebron still can't hit for average in the SEC, this was a whiff! 3/5 in play after 7 weeks isn't too shabby though!

8-9-1 and you bring in your closer early. Weird choice.

Guy is running a 400 BABIP against but still rocking a 2.11 ERA. Insane.

Grant so unlucky yet so good still.

The guy who makes it all go.

As long as the Sox don't play him at Shortstop over Colson, I'm fine with it!

Wonder why no one includes 391 xwOBA Antonacci in their lists.

Even crazier when you look at the innings and understand much of that aggregate is cumulative.

Get rid of whoever you need to, to assure Colson is the only starting SS on days when he plays the field. Jfc.

Poster said they are playing like a 78-82 win team now does not equal saying this is an 82 win team over the course of the season. Hope that helps! Are you gate keeping team compliments now? I thought the mean stuff being said was negatively influencing executive decision making? I cant win!

The Banni effect I only watch entertainment that is actually trying to entertain me. That's my personal rule. Not sure what else youre going on about. My time is too valuable and limited to spend it on products consistently that don't even try to entertain me, when that's their job. It has nothing to do with what others think. I stopped caring what others thought long before old age, my friend!

Agreed. I think some of the offense will take a step back, BUT I think that'll be off-set by Teel and others maybe continuing to surge. The pitching on the other hand feels like smoke and mirrors.

No, it actually doesn't. If the White Sox were competing and contending the last two years, no one would be ecstatic or excited about a team below .500 pal. The Sox had the 3rd most wins in the 90's in baseball. No fan in the 90's was happy when the Sox were fighting for .500. It's very obvious that most people have changed their perspective because of the misery of the past few years. I will not allow this organizations incompetence to re calibrate my personal expectations, but you do you! I also simply don't break small samples down into smaller ones just to pitch a narrative. Baseball is a game of attrition, not a game where you evaluate possibilities based on smaller sample outcomes.

What a silly post. Why would last year's change, which reverted somewhat mid-season, have anything to do with the offseason changes he made this year, which have been much more significant than the swing change last year. He's swinging 3.5 mph harder this year than last. The biggest change for vargas is he got much stronger. Last year he wasn't good. This year he's been very good.

Guy has an xwoba after today in like thr 93rd percentile. His changes this year have been real.

The white sox most valuable asset.

Guy should be the starting second baseman but I'll admit meidroth is better than the other outfield options so LF makes the most sense today.

Welcome. We're accepting new members for a limited time!

Pal your anti antonacci stuff is hilarious.

Yes, the White Sox played historically bad baseball the previous two seasons, which is greatly distorting the perspective of this years team. Where did I tell anyone how to enjoy anything?
