Eloy gets him out of any penalty box. It stands as one of the great trades in White Sox history. He's going to hit 30-40 home runs without even trying; 50 many years trying and with the juiced ball. Tatis is one of the worst trades in the history of sports potentially but like I said, Eloy, is that good.

We care and wish u happiness and peace Jack P.

Wow in 29 at bats he has 3 homers and 7 RBI. He has seven walks. he's off to a fantastic start.

I didn't realize it was this bad. Was watching Sports Center for first time in a while and virtually all the highlights are home runs. Why not just play home run derby. Laugh if you must but I bet you MLB could start a home run derby league and hold it all winter in warm weather cities and it'd be hugely popular. Just like NBA 3 on 3 league; TBT and all that, MLB should add a home run derby league. It's all anybody cares about it seems.

I do think managers that never praise are so transparent. They are just trying to avoid getting screamed at and fired by the CEOs or the people right above them. They lay it on the little guys and gals, tear into them. I still say a good boss is one who appreciates an employee going above and beyond. I've seen too many examples of bosses taking their GOOD people for granted. Guess what? Those good people who have assholes for bosses start looking after 8 months and leave after a year. Life's too short to work for jerks. And I'm talking about excellent workers here; ones most companies would like to keep around if they are smart. They should get some praise along with $$ once in a while.

It's kind of weird baseball GMs decided the analytics of all vs. nothing is the way to go: Homers and strikeouts from all hitters 1 through 9 are desired. It's very bizarre because eking out runs here and there seemingly still seems like a decent way of scoring runs. For example, Madrigal leads off with a walk or single to right and takes third on a base hit by Anderson. First and third nobody out. Too much work. If you have enough guys hitting home runs you score 5-8 runs a game and that's enough to win allegedly. No need to risk pitchouts and out stealing while trying to go first to third. The ONLY weird thing about all this is some managers like Ricky still believe in the other stuff. How can the Sox brass EVER allow him to bunt when the new organizational philosophy is apparent. Just like all other teams it's lift and pull and hit 3 or more homers a game good for six or more runs. Very bizarre how relics like Ricky are allowed to bunt without being fired on the spot.

I've grown a lot. Instead of commenting, I wish the White Sox a victory and my favorite players big games as well! Peace out this Sunday!

I should have put a "great value" or one of the best values, then.

no, the best value for the buck; making pennies but producing quite nicely.

I do. That is true. Personally if you look at Jose's 125 hits, 24 homers and 83 RBIs in 114 games, he has added some nice moments to a horrible season IMO. At least for me.

I looked it up and it said 2.2. If that's wrong I can kill the item.

It's just one game. You guys remind me of Scrooge telling off Bob Cratchett for wanting off on Christmas Day: "It's just one day of the year, sir" was Cratchett's reply.

Leury was such a bargain this season at 1.5 million. Can you believe he was acquired in the Alex Rios deal? Is Leury's 2.2 WAR show he's the best value in baseball this particular season? If the Sox wanted to, they could hang onto Leury and go with Eloy and Robert and Rutherford and if Rutherford is a bust, just throw Leury in there. Leury in LF; and Eloy in right.

Some of you are acting very close minded. There's no reason to be this irritable over a harmless one-game gimmick. Walton shouldn't have been on a half-inning yesterday; he really gave up part of his schtick. He was on fire rambling about wild stuff regarding baseball and his love of the Big A, etc. He should have saved it for the broadcast. But Our team is so pathetic how can some of u guys be against this? It's something different in a horrificly dull season.

Eloy and Abreu did well also. Abreu back over .270. That would be cool if he could rally and hit .290.

You ain't kidding vile. To some, the grass is always greener with other players though.

Sox have the closer and setup guy. All they need for next year is Robert, Madrigal, 2 free agent starting pitchers and maybe a FA right fielder (or just let Leury continue his fine Sox career in OF). And maybe develop a third bullpen piece that is reliable as well. Just win baby.

Sox win.

OK

I wonder if that good looking girl is not that guy's date. There's a third wheel in the yellow there as well. Could be a family.

19 pitches LOL. Too many.

Goins with the Little League effort on that one.

Pretty good matchup here. 25 homers vs. Colome.

Semien is a very good MLB player.

One thing I've noticed about the Sox in games I've watched, if they do have a late lead they usually win. There aren't the bizarre choke jobs of the past 3-4 years. Ricky deserves some credit for that I would say. Colome is a pretty good closer but it's not like we've had amazing bullpens in the Ricky era. (I would'nt write this if this game meant anything; I don't think i'm going to jinx the win, but if the game mattered I wouldn't go there for jinx purposes).
