Don't forget Flowers who can't hit
Well, that's a given. Really not sure what they're saving Conor for tonight. He's easily one of the most dangerous bats vs RHP

Eaton and cabrerra are really the main issue right now. Neither are on base enough to affect defensive shifts against abreu and laroche. The rest of the team is fine.
Alexei has been absolutely terrible. Sanchez can't hit at this level either. At one point tonight, 6 of the 9 hitters in the lineup were at .235 or lower with minimal power.

This offense is so bad.
Avi's lost his line drive swing from earlier in the year, and he's back to chopping everything to the left side.
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:25 AM)
What the f*** is wrong with Melky? He's just not hitting the ball hard anymore.
Even when he does, he's not strong enough to hit it over the head of the outfielder. It's just astonishing to see how weak he's been.

You guys are nuts. Sox don't have the roster to be pinch hitting here and there. All the candidates to pinch hit suck as well.
Conor and Shuck way better vs RHP than Sanchez/Flowers

Ruggiano got dfa'd today. .263/.343/.474 against lefties this season.
Pick him up to platoon with Melky
Already suggested it in this thread

Duke coming into this game really early.
That's probably going to come back to bite him, unless they misidentified Jennings.
It's good managing, as they have their big guns coming up and they're all lefty
QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 03:29 AM)
Garbage season for Melky.
Have to get him out of the 2nd spot. Him and Alexei are legitimately the two worst hitters in baseball this year according to offensive WAR for fangraphs
