Look at Ray Ray Run

And they're 10th in xWOBA.

Pal, did you even read the post you responded to? I was responding to Jack as to why him comparing the 2022 White Sox to the 2021 Guardians made no sense. Now you're telling me the situations are nothing alike. Sheesh.

See, this is a great post that just reiterates my above post about you and Jack. Devers had 22 errors, Yoan 16. So your negative point was actually wrong by quite a bit.

The self proclaimed two "biggest Moncada fans" on Soxtalk hate on him relentlessly and couldn't be further from accurate on his ability or production last year. Both Jack and Polar Bear believe they're fans of Moncada, but they're more-so like abusive fathers who claim they just want what is best for their boy while they whoop his ass for having fun and smiling despite making an out on the baseball field. Neither of you are big Moncada fans because you don't actually appreciate all the areas he does contribute and make absurd proclamations like "Jake Burger has been a better hitter this year than Moncada was last year." Also, moving Moncada to second base would be a disaster of a decision and not one that a Moncada fan would recommend or want.

What does any of this have to do with Jack saying the 2022 White Sox are the 2021 Guardians?

Yoan Moncada ISO - 148 Jake Burger ISO - 113 Yoan Moncada slug - 412 Jake Burger slug - 352 Yoan Moncada OBP - 375 Jake Burger OBO - 276 If you honestly think Jake Burger has been a better hitter this year than Yoan was last year you should stop watching baseball.

During the winning streak, Leury is: 6/15 with 1 2B, 3 RBI's, 1 run scored. In May, Leury has a 982 OPS. I hate Leury, but every point you have made is wrong.

LOL Moncada had a 122 wRC+ last season. Burger's wRC+ was 87 this year. Moncada was 35% better offensively last year than Burger has been this year.

did you ever think, for one second, that a guy who didn't have an OPS of 567 might have put the team in a better position to not need a 9th inning walk?

You beat me too it. Very confusing post. Maybe he has brain freeze.

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.

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.

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.

All aboard!

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.

Once the offense gets going this team gonna go off. Starters are so good.

Matt Ruiz the MVP's no doubt.

My guy Foster silencing the haters in mass

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.
