Look at Ray Ray Run

Jack does this every year and is told this every year but still obsessed over a radar gun reading every start. He'll tell you he's a huge giolito fan though and one of his biggest supporters... just like yoan. Then he'll make irrationally negative and over the top critiques of both.

Your obsession with velocity over production, especially early season velocity, is absolutely hilarious. Giolito has been worth more than 5 WAR per 200 IP since 2019 and you call him a solid #2 lol I personally would bet on guys who don't rely on elite velocity to be damn productive, I'd also bet on a guy who has ADDED a + pitch to his arsenal each of the past two years. That's called growth. I'm certainly glad you're not the gm assessing talent and future production.

That's a bit of an exaggeration, he's not even the most overrated Angels prospect of the last decade+. Brandon Wood was #3 in all of baseball and he was a complete Hack. Adell still may figure it out with the bat. He's had some flashes.

Liam is back!

One player isn't going to carry an entire roster in that category - especially given that he lost significant time last year as well. Yaz accounted for 6.2% of all White Sox PA's in 2021. edit; And sorry, Sox were 4th in walk rate. 9th in P/PA. Still, they clearly were one of the more patient teams in the game.

Except the Sox were third in baseball last year in BB rate and pitches seen I believe.

Sox didn't need schwarber or castellanos because they had sheets lol You can't make that shit up

Sheets sucks

That ball had some absolutely absurd spin on it.

Bat drop time

The negative nancy haters are gonna eat crow tonight.

I'm gonna make a bold claim that these are thr only 2 runs lucas gives up tonight. Calling it with a man on second.

Terrible from lucas.

I have never seen trout strike out to a fastball down the middle looking in my life and I've watched a lot of trout. That change was in his head

Benetti said he expects to see a high scoring series as if he hasn't watched white sox baseball.

I think Ramos is likely a shoe in. He was already a fast riser and is dominating. Assuming he doesn't tail off too hard, I wouldn't be shocked to see him move closer to top 50 than back end top 100

No nod for simas kid?

Trying to get T-Shirts made before our next get together. Should it be MR's pals, or JFcrew

I never doubted Jose, so I had zero concerns about the baserunners. That's what it's like when you're the president of the Jose Foster fanclub.

Just wanted to stop by today to remind everyone about Ruiz mania. Never forget those who wanted to release Ruiz 1 months ago.

Yeah, he had that little scare in spring but hope you didn't just jinx it!

Andrew Vaughn is the best hitter on the White Sox.

La Russa was itching to pull Vaughn with the big bad righty coming into the game.

Vaughn wRC+ is now 191. Is that good?

Need to get that year of control back on Vaughn.
