I wish they could talk him into picking up the pace. Extra time to think does not help this guy. Something of a head case in my opinion. Did fine here with no pressure.
This game will help get the monkey off the back of a few players who have been putting pressure on themselves. Abreu in particular struggles when he is trying to do to much.
I think Hahn thought he getting the players these guys always have been. Their relationship with Machado was just a plus. Both players have either under performed or not performed.
I live in Michigan and blacken out of MLB for Detroit games. Watched the game on local TV and the post game guys were talking up how good the White Sox are already. One guy strongly claiming the Sox would give Indians and Twins a run for it before this year was over. Claimed only the starting pitching looked dicey. Nice to hear even if hard to believe. Good game.
He certainly has looked like a serviceable major league outfielder. That right field spot is still open for anyone who wants it. Maybe we've found him.
Joe West should be made to explain how tossing your bat back toward the dugout is worthy of the same penalty as throwing a ball at someone. He was over the top with this call. For years he has acted like people came to the park to see him.
