In the UK supporters of 'soccer' teams doing badly have hired planes towing banners saying fire the manager, maybe one of those flying over Guaranteed Rate Field would help nudge the ownership.

Not soon enough to save this game

Yep slam a Rookie player who is actually performing offensively for a bad day in the field.

Moncada looks absolutely lost at the plate at the moment, he is just a walking out and doesn't even look like he believes a hit is coming.

Yes if you keep playing on it then the fracture or break can take a long time to feel normal again and pain free.

Well he probably is an angry drunk ?

Yes, I wasn't sure if it was slang for drunk in the USA as well! ?

You could have ended that sentence at pissed.

Jerry won't be up yet!

No he was driving himself there and somehow got lost.

Reading this thread has cheered me up after yesterday's defeat, thank you!

Exactly right. In his post game comments TLR seemed to think he was a demon hitter on 1 or 2 strikes to lefties and that was his justification and seemed confused that anyone thought his action strange, just the mad ramblings of a senile drunk.

If only it was that simple!

But don't forget TLR knows more about baseball than us!

Well that intentional walk worked out well!

Mind you it is not just Garcia if you look at straight WAR then it is Garcia 288th with -0.9, Sheets at 289th with -1.0 and Grandal at 290th with -1.4.

His lower body never seems to hinder his dance moves!

A nice win with virtually every section of the team actually doing what they are meant to at a good standard, keep this going and things may look rosier in a couple of weeks!

Is the window still open? The bigger issue is do you trade Giolito now in the hope of a good return in the hope of extending the window? Much of that will depend on whether or not you think this season is a bust or are there any signs of a recovery? But that would mean replacing Giolito from the FA market as the White Sox have nothing remaining in the system and do the WS have that much financial free room with the current wage bill.

You know that the Sox don't believe in walks.

He will probably pitch a no hitter ?

If this is a journey I think the satnav is broken.

You forgot the big IF of keeping players fit and on the pitch.

That is a mighty big IF.

Must be the great work of the hitting coach ?
