Thought it was a gapper. Major league pop up.

Ah Burger. Have it your way

Yeah Tony had to go get him

Legend.

TLR has a semi-consistent lineup now. If 2 days in a row counts as consistent.

Burger delivered

Bumslayer mode. But this is like 2 bums swinging on each other behind 7-11

Somebody find that fan. He needs a radio interview.

Well Kopech needs more rest ffs

Well. There is no shame in this circumstance. And good meds out there too for us!

Tony likely was getting told the correct information in the dugout, but his old ass got it backwards.

Corpses are definitely better than zombies

Are you speaking it into existence?

Well, one player is making mega millions with a negative WAR. The other is in positive territory on a rookie deal.

As mentioned in another thread, this team has to start considering how it is allocated money going forward. Burger is a cheap date, and often puts out. Moncada otoh, fancy restaurants and lots of waiting.

The rookie has some tools. I don’t know how much projection he has. But the good player oftentimes shows the flashes as a rookie. Now its a matter of tightening up his D, which I haven’t heard any reason why that won’t happen. He’s not going to be Aurelio Rodriguez, but a lot of good third baseman have been pretty average with the glove, but the bat plays well.

Eloy is becoming a coach killer. Err, a team killer. There are a number of people on the White Sox like that. We know who they are. The money allocated has poor return. There should be some long conversations this offseason.

Well it’s a conundrum for sure. When a team is allocated a ton of financial resources into 3rd base, the offense has to be a considerable factor. Otherwise an organization can just stick a cheap glove there at third base as well.

Its great to be a fan.

Its just a baseball debate amigo. Chill.

Debatable for sure. One can argue offense is more of a premium at that position. Especially on this squad.

I’d still give him a fair shot to get better, and let a rookie be a rookie. Guys can and do improve. But they need the reps and a job.

At least Tony filled out a good lineup card today I see…. He is spotting dimes and eating onions!

As such, he’s been playing out of position. To have a slap hitter (that doesn’t even hit) at one of the infield corners is shooting the lineup in the foot. So what do you do? What do, you do?

Tony might be baseball senile, but he still respects the game and his people more than to do that. He’s just baseball senile, and has good feels about Leury. When his office phone rings, he might pick his glove and hold it up to his ear too however.
