  1. Bizarrely enough vaughn is facing a big league arm in his first start.
  2. Robert has been better this year than Acuna and Soto were last year prior to their call ups.
  3. Yeah I just cant help but think the sox have a 4 WAR 22 year old sitting in AA working on nothing.
  4. Watching Ronald Acuna dominate and hit another homer makes me unreasonably angry that Luis Robert hasn't been fast tracked like Acuna.
  5. I know RBI's dont matter in the metric world but the actual damage and counting stats you have achieved matters for All-star selections.
  6. Yeah but they have 5 forwards in the rotation now and the league is going smaller so forward count probably matters more for rotational minutes than PF's. Thad is fine but the Bulls are better off being the worst team in the nba than they are fighting for an 8 seed.
  7. People really underselling the KD injury. Achilles can easily be a career destroyer.
  8. So you dont care about the context that caused the post to be made? Lol ok. Have a good one. I'm gonna head away from your pitty party
  9. It's similar to how someone will post something good about madrigal or yoan and you'll follow up with some comment about tatis or Manny. No, you're point may not be wrong but its unnecessary, adds nothing to the conversation and is merely made to be a negative dunce and talk down other peoples enjoyment and fun. I hope you find some happiness bud.
  10. Someone makes a positive post about Yoan passing Baez in OPS after Cub fans destroyed Yoan endlessly all last year... directly comparing his badness to the greatness that was javy baez. It was a common thing to hear cub fans doing this. In retaliation sox fans had a little fun with the OPS comment on twitter and here... you felt the need to point out that Baez plays SS and that Contreras and Bryant are better... you did this unprovoked because you were upset that a sox fan pointed out something positive and fun about yoan. It's hilarious honestly. You feel the need to defend the cubs and put down the sox... but you're a Sox fan. Truly puzzling stuff. Jerry now pays me to be happy about Yoan being really good and figuring it out quickly. Even more bizarre. Get a hold of yourself.
  11. His argument changes based on whatever makes the white sox look worse. Its exhausting.
  12. It's your insistence of breaking down every white sox success in a negative light that's the problem. You have to be absurdly negative about positive things for reasons I cant grasp.
  13. Well, Yoan's numbers are much more sustainable unless you think Contreras is going to maintain a 30% hr/FB rate. So when mccann is better than those guys you say you wouldnt trade him for him... but no one would trade Yoan for Conteras but "Contreras is better" according to you. Weird stuff.
  14. Zzzzzzz no matter what something negative has to be said about a white Sox guy... rinse and repeat.
  15. Awesome. Theres more to base than OPS. And Yoan and Contreras WAR are near identical with Yoan possibly passing him today. You could argue for Yoan but for some reason you love to be negative and down about everything. My goodness.
  16. Pal, are you even a sox fan? Jaysus.
  17. Why? McCann has a higher wRC+ than Sanchez this year. Home runs aren't the only thing that matters offensively.
  18. I think that's mostly physical limitation. You cant teach someone to do the things Ichiro could do with his hands or even madrigal. I feel great about madrigal because his bat to ball skills are unreal. When engel is fooled, he never adjusts his path to the ball - never can he keep his hands back nor can he redirect the bat path with solely his hands. The plane he is on is the plane he's on. Those are bad bat to ball skills. He has tried everything - different stances, hand locations, strides but it's none of those things. His hands and wrists just dont move with his eyes very well. That's not going to change. He's struggled through most of his minor league career too. But those two tools people love. He's McKay Chritensen 2.0.
  19. If you look at their hands in an at-bat. Watch on a pitch their fooled on. Tim can change his hand path seperate of his body and he gets his wrists turned over when hes fooled so he can generate some power and not just he stuck underneath or pulling off (popping it up or weakly grounding). Engel is always in between, and his hands move so little through his swing path. Stiff wrists.
  20. Adam engel has no bat to ball skills. Never has. The reason why I never worried about tim anderson (incredible hands and wrists) is the exact reason I think adam Engel has no chance (horrible hands and stiff wrists).
  21. Hand eye coordination is at the very center of athleticism for me - jmo. Hitting is pure and absolute hand eye coordination.
  22. Rutherford has been on another planet for about 6 weeks now. What a tear hes been on.
  23. I can't for the life of me see how someone could argue its "too early to call up Robert" while finishing their thought saying bring up Engel. Its amazing to me that people have concluded that Cordell is awful and should be demoted after 2 months of production as good as Adam Engels best 2 months in his big league career. Cordell likely sucks, but it is really odd to me how people want to say send cordell down and give up on him because he hasnt hit after like 167 big league at bats career but they want to bring up Engel who hasnt hit in 800 big league at bats.
  24. Lol some of you love pain and misery. Adam engels problem isnt his batting stance.
  25. When quality pitches get tee'd because the balls are juiced and the parks are small it makes you lose faith in your stuff and self as a pitcher. I dont think that'll happen with cease fully but it hurts development and stunts it at that level so he may as well finish it here. He's going to experience the same stuff here but the outcomes will be more realistic to what he actually has to adjust to.
