Look at Ray Ray Run

?

@wegner crede and I guarantee a win tomorrow. I don't do that often but I'll be all in.

It would have been easier to say, "I was wrong" and my hatred of Yaz is laughable but instead you find a way to gloat. Hmm

Lol sticking it to the Yaz haters is even more fun than the train wreck. Yaz my guy!

You mad bro? Tell us how much Yaz sucks!

All I can do is laugh at the absurdity of your posts about Grandal pal. Have a good one.

Yes, surely those 21 AB's in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spot in the lineup are VERY telling.

Why would a guy batting at the top of a lineup accumulate walks in front of Leury Garcia? When your offense lacks power and talent, as the Sox does now, I would think a 124 wRC+ player would be a pretty valuable piece to have. So you'll defer to the FO who gave Yaz the biggest contract per year in their franchises history. Gotcha, glad we could agree!

Weird anti-Grandal vibes here that are pretty funny. You can't hit a guy with a 385 OBP at the top of the order. Odd stuff all around. So Giolito is such a pussy he can't tell Grandal what he wants to throw? Sad!

This is interesting; when looking at 2019 the r value is lower than the .47 value they show for 2018 which isn't THAT big. Good read in general, and I'll stand partly corrected but still maintain it's not substantial - we're talking a few points, not 20-30. I also wish the shift was accounted for here in their numbers as 5 of the guys on that top list are shifted against.

Leury Garcia has atrocious numbers vs righties WITH a .344 BABIP. Vaughn has bad numbers vs righties with a BABIP 60-70 points (236) under where it should sit. Vaughn is the obvious choice in LF over Leury Garcia. Edit: I'm not ready to draw conclusions on Vaughn vs righties after 124 AB's. I KNOW Leury sucks vs righties based on his entire career. Vaughn has been clutch and shown flashes, Leury just gives me flashes of pain.

jaja, obviously would want to see a win, but like a car wreck, I can't look away from the lunacy after a singular loss in a long baseball season.

Leury is significantly worse than Vaughn offensively. The White Sox have a power issue, Leury has a .065 ISO. Vaughns ISO is 172. Vaughns offensive numbers even with struggles against righties are significantly better than Leury.

This is not true. There's no correlation between sprint speed and xwOBA variance. For example, Shohei and Acuna have underperformed their xwOBA and Yordan Alvarez and Yuli Gurriell have over performed there's. This year, the change in the baseball has effected the link between xwOBA and wOBA though - as the r value is lower than years past but it may normalize as the weather warms and offense returns to normal a bit. Time will tell. Edit: I stand corrected slightly, thanks Dominkk. My apologies.

I kind of want to see it happen just to witness the "Rebuild is a failure" threads because of one losing streak which happens to every single team in baseball at some point. Maybe even a new poster named Ragggeh Raggeh will join to yell I told you so.

Somehow in your mind the win-now mode means bringing up a guy who has played 34 professional games in 4 years and putting him in the OF - when he's never played the OF in his entire life, and had two Achilles tears. Amazing stuff all around. The Sox lost one series. They'll lose more. Hope we don't have to deal with these absurd overreactions after everyone. The Sox need to go get an outfielder, not replace Andrew Vaughn with Jake Burger and play Leury Garcia more.

You'd give Burger his shot... in LF? ? Leury Garcia has an xwOBA of .266, Vaughns is .337. But you'd play Leury. Got it.

Oh, you're right. You said you wanted to play Leury Garcia and his 77 wRC+ over him. Even better. Two gun said he wanted to send him down and you played tummy sticks with that idea.

Vaughns xwOBA is 337, which would put him right around a 108-112 wRC+, but yes... please lets send him down and call up Blake Rutherford or something. White Sox mania, 2021! The rational thinkers like Cali and two-guns are just speaking facts while the rest of us are naive to the idea of sending down your only healthy outfielder and replacing him with a guy who won't hit lefties or righties. Truly 4D TLR level chess going on here. The White Sox just called up Luis Gonzalez lol with their latest OF injury and now they should send down Vaughn so they can call up another subpar AAA player. Genius!

Again, it is the sum of ones outputs that should be evaluated. The Sox have no outfielders but somehow in your mind they should be starting.... who exactly? Vaughn should obviously play his way through his issues, and he's obviously helping the team much more than any possible replacements would be. The guy has literally won like 3 games this year late. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezussss.

Andrew Vaughn has been nearly a league average hitter (wRC+ of 98) But he needs to be demoted when the Sox have no outfielders on their roster and he's been more than adequate in LF. Holy moly, talk about some logical thinkers here at Soxtalk!

I mean, at this point you're beyond depth. They acquired high end talent in their trades to rebuild instead of multiple pieces risking duds and failures from all aspects. You can argue which method is better, but there's not really organizations that can suffer the amount of position players injuries the Sox have and have viable replacements. The Sox are on their 7-9 outfielders, and their 6-7+ infielders at this point. They need to make a move for an outfielder badly. Mendick can hold down 2nd base.

Keep moving those goal posts caufield.

And anyone in MLB can win 4 out of 7 vs any other team. Jaysus

Uh, they don't. Lets use 2019 as an example, Cleveland was 93-69 and their expected py record was 93-69 Oakland was 97-65 and their expected pyth record was 97-65 Lol can't even make that up. In 2018 Cleveland won 91 games, their pyth record was 98-64 In 2018, Oakland won 97 games and their pyth win total was 95. In 2017 Cleveland underperformed their expected wins by 6 wins despite winning 102 games. Literally nothing you said is true. Cleveland has been lucky this year.
