South Side Hit Men

The old Billy Baroo should be pulled out sparingly.

Eloy has been injured a half dozen other times before 2021 Spring Training. The primary concern/detriment for moving him from LF to DH, offset by the improvement for both potential for avoiding injuries and significant defensive upgrade no matter who takes his place, is whether it will impact his hitting. Many players have issues successfully transitioning to a DH role. The Sox can live in 2022 with the extra depth at 1B/DH. Would work Mercedes both at catcher and first base after adequate preparation (I.e. not what Tony did that one game), would definitely help both him and the team if he had flexibility. If MLB goes to automated strikes, he would be a lot more viable behind the plate, has a solid arm.

Good friends we have had Good friends we’ve lost along the way

He's been sore for a week. Had Sunday off, to give him rest, until Robert hurt himself in the bottom of the first. He got hurt with his crazy baserunning, take the two days and hopefully stay healthy after.

David Wells was the only White Sox player I ever booed, when he was puking booze on the mound and failed to record an out in his start against the Cubs. Carlos Lee, a far superior defensive OF compared to Eloy, bailed Wells’ dumb ass out in extras. It was glorious! https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA200106080.shtml Wells was the clown how trashed Frank for not playing hurt, for his shoulder injury that shut him down for the season. https://tht.fangraphs.com/tht-live/10th-anniversary-of-david-wells-most-asinine-moment-5-3-11/ Game including Wells’ “performance”archived here: https://m.facebook.com/WhiteSox/videos/1133234710388686/

Great game! It’s your responsibility to create the thread for tomorrow’s early morning game, and beyond, if they keep winning!

In Katz We Trust! Nice to see the former SS crank out three hits tonight in his first three MLB at bats, and also pitch a gem. Not as enjoyable as last Thursday’s DH sweep, but as close as you can get with one regular season game.

Wonder if any of his balls were pulled for lab testing.

A solid game tonight. Still hope he gets his first game off tomorrow, the May schedule is packed including two DHs. One off day with 28 games between May 11 and June 6th (includes two DHs).

Great outing Dylan. No need to push this further (96 pitches), get someone up here.

Would be ok with Cease being done, definitely no need to push over 100 here (at 84 now).

Dylan to Yermin, hold my beer.

Last XBH by a White Sox pitcher: Carlos Rodon vs. Cubs 2017. Last White Six pitcher with 2 Hits in a game: Mike Sirotka 1999.

Madrigal very jealous of Dylan’s power. 98 MPH EV!!!

Nice to see Cease regain his composure against the heart off the lineup.

Dylan went yard 3-4 times in batting practice.

Nice story by Connor McKnight about Dylan’s HS career and aspirations of being a MLB power hitting shortstop. These hopes were derailed when his fastball hit 94-95, and he was converted to full time pitching.

DJ throws shade at Grandal: “Coaches are looking for him to crush a 3-1 fastball, instead of looking to walk and waiting for someone else to drive him in.”

Still MVP bitches!!!

Wonder if Katz could have fixed Manny Buenos Dias, Carson Fulmer and Dylan Covey.

Stone hates Hawk more than Grandal + David Samson + White Sox fans on Twitter.

You’re the one spinning “narrative”. Dump bonus money to save pennies. Trade prospects for a team friendly rental contract. Have the first decent team in literally decades and minimum contract for Jarrod Dyson is Jerry’s “Major Commitment” to winning, as spewed by his apologists.

LOL, are you serious. This is Jerry we are talking about, the miser who sent gave up international slot money (not actual money, the right to spend) for Texas to eat Welington’s option buyout. Saved $1.25M when combined with the earlier Nate Jones deal. Lay off the weed.

If Crochet is not considered a candidate to start eventually by the FO, it would be worthwhile to make this trade. That assumes Jerry would consider taking on $4M+ prorated. Could see Jerry wanting to send more prospects and or international bonus slot $ for Texas to take on most/all of the contract. The money, after all, has been spent.
