Tim Anderson's Second, Quieter Breakout (fangraphs)
More than the fact that it's great to have good players on good contracts, it's wild that they haven't missed on one yet.

The guy has no idea how to approach an AB and still has been a top 5 player in the AL. All you can do is laugh. Maniacally. Dude has a legit shot at ROY, MVP and a GG. lmao

Y'all need to chill
2018 was absolutely being thrown around at one point.

Reynaldo Lopez Optioned to Schaumburg
Along the lines of complaining about being yanked and not understanding why he was. Probably the 54 pitches through 1.2, friend.

Reynaldo Lopez Optioned to Schaumburg
I, uh, didn't see that coming yet. I'm sure his comments last night didn't exactly engender any sympathy.

The grandal hate is vastly overblown
Sox fans tendency to be incredibly jealous of the Indians and Twins will never cease to amaze me.

RR
1. Home runs are good. 3 run home runs are triply so. They've already won a lot of games because they hit more home runs than everyone else. 2. You're projecting.

I forgot how butt hurt some of ya'll were about Narvaez

When has Cleveland won games with their offense? They have been above average twice in the last decade. This current White Sox lineup is 10 times better than anything Cleveland has put on the field.

Sox vs Twins 9/2/2020 Lopez vs Berrios 7:10 CST
You’d think it was 15-0 in the bottom of the 8th.

Worth pointing out that this game has a less than 1% chance of meaning anything at all.

It hasn’t even been 48 hours.

Any one guy doesn’t NEED to be anything. You need the collection of picks to pan out. Counting on anyone guy to do anything out of the draft is a fools errand.

Sox vs Twins 9/2/2020 Lopez vs Berrios 7:10 CST
Your expectations of guys out the draft is all out of wack. The average 4th pick has a career WAR around 10.

Guys, not everyone in the lineup is going to have a shot at MVP one day. It’s okay if Madrigal is just okay.

Podsednik and I honestly don’t think it’s close

Setting the over/under for Lopez being out of baseball at 18 months.

Clevinger wanted to be White Sox
Anyone citing the 27 games Grandal has played and the 17 that McCann has played as proof positive that McCann is great and Grandal is shit has absolutely zero idea what they’re saying. period. End of discussion.

Clevinger wanted to be White Sox
Idk if I mentioned it here, but I definitely had conversations where I said there's like a 95% chance a huge chunk of Sox fans hate Grandal even he does exactly what he's done the past few years. His positive traits are quiet, and you kinda have to spend too much time thinking about baseball to appreciate some of them, whereas the negative parts are pretty loud (ie low BA, not particularly spectacular power, blocking issues etc.)

I know, that’s just generally where people want to move him. Same logic applies to 2 and 3 though.

I’ll meet you at 5th. I still think he might be a little too streaky to want penciled in at leadoff.

Stolen Bases
The value of a steal is pretty much directly proportional to how many home runs/xbh you're team hits. This team hits a ton. Steals may as well be worthless.

I still like Anderson, Moncada, Abreu at the top for now
