Sorry, that doesn't cause a hole in your bat. Yes he's been screwed a lot on pitches, but how about not falling behind in the count so quickly every at bat by not having a solid plan at the plate. The kid has had every excuse in the world made for him this year. His hit tool is just flat out awful.
-
Pulls off some more pitches for another swinging strikeout. This is rock bottom for him.
-
From what I see just on TV, Jose seems to go out of his way to encourage Yoan.
-
to be fair, post ASB, Yoan is 151/275/279
-
I do question how healthy Anderson is, so he'll get the benefit of the doubt with that. At this point though, Steverson better be fired the day after the season ends, and Ricky should be right behind as he's the one who's supposed to be helping with development of these guys.

Welcome to the dark side
-
If the minor league season was longer, I'd say it's getting close to demotion time. It's so disappointing to see how much worse he is as a hitter now compared to when he came up last season.
-
Another great exhibit of how badly he's pulling off the ball. If it's not inner half, he has absolutely no chance. That was the 3 worst swings he's had in an at bat this year. Keep up the great work Yoan and Steverson.

Nice race to get to 100 RBI
-
He typically does a good job of keeping the ball fair down the line
-
Was actually an inside slider. Good pitch for him to hit given his swing path. Just missed double.
-
Smith isn't really hitting though
-
Yoan missed that low changeup by a foot
-
Nice to see the Sox valuing defense as always
-
Madrigal has incredible range at 2nd (and you all know how I'm not his biggest fan)
-
As a closer, I think Lopez could hit 100. If you go back and watch his first inning with the Sox when he was amped up, his fastball was electric.
-
Whenever I watch Sheets, it seems he isn't even trying to loft the ball. If it's a sinker, he just pounds it into the ground. To my eyes, his swing needs a total overhaul if he wants to stay a prospect the next few years.
-
So Covey is our "opener" and Giolito takes over in the 2nd?
-
Both Rutherford and Sheets haven't homered in approximately 40 straight games. That's incredible considering the extra small fence in RF at W-Salem. Birmingham is going to be quite rough on them.
-
In 2012 I remember him having a fastball that looked like Mark Buehrle in a crucial Sunday night game at Detroit during the collapse.
-
Good point, he just do so many things poorly on the mound that it's really hard to see him turning it around. Inconsistent mechanics, bad pitching from the stretch, inability to hold runners and general lack of spin rate. He's still living off his prospect ranking from a few years ago.
-
God he sucks. 6.41 ERA after mid-August. Cooper is doing a wonderful job with the young guys.
-
He would never do such a thing
-
The biggest disappointment this season has to be that the only player on the roster that you could guarantee would be a starting player come 2020 or 2021 is Rodon. The first wave of Giolito/Lopez/Moncada/Anderson haven't jumped up and done enough to feel confident in them. Hopefully Eloy and Kopech do next season.

Holy cow, the Chicago Dogs owner posts on here?
