According to fangraphs, Avi is now 156th out of 164 in terms of WAR. With Utley on the DL, Alexei is far and away the worst hitter in baseball.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 06:15 PM) Yay, Sanchez hits another easy grounder You might as well hit and run every time he's up

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 06:11 PM) To me it seems to be an organizational philosophy that baseball stupid across the board is fine. I was watching the Twins over the weekend, and they were talking about how Vargas hits the ball on the ground an awful lot. Given the way Suzuki has hurt the Sox, it seemed like a no brainer to IBB him.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 07:07 PM) Similar to Monday this game ended in hurry after starting well. Hughes will retire the next 12 in a row. It really is amazing how s***ty players can simply destroy the White Sox on a consistent basis Rayburn and Suzuki come to mind. Made no sense to pitch to Suzuki with open base there.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 07:08 PM) Seems like this team just doesn't care anymore They ever cared this season? Flat and lethargic since a week into Spring Training.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 07:04 PM) He isn't a great RF The sooner they move him to LF, the better. If not, trade him because he doesn't hit well enough to be a RF given how awful he is defensively.

Well, this game is just about out of hand. Disappointing from Sale, but the Twins have owned him all season.

.264 and falling for Avi

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) Neither guy will be a very good MLB player it seems. Tim Anderson is the 2nd baseman of the future, IMO

Another 7 pitch first inning

Cubs bullpen has been great of late. Another walk off win as the Dodgers forgot how to hit.

Outside of Alexei, the team played very well tonight

Loving these 2 out RBI

Real nice AB by Eaton!

Another awful effort by Alexei.

Nice Melky!

soto with another big hit

Really happy they played Alexei tonight

Avi has to learn how to hit an inside fastball from righties. His current approach is terrible.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 02:19 AM) All because Jeff wanted to peg Hunter and field a ground ball. Captain of Attitude

Of course they give the run right back on the 1000th hanging breaking ball of Samardzija's season

Stupid decision by Samardzija to not see if that goes foul

Why does Sanchez refuse to get his legs into his swing? That approach will never work at this level

Conor had no clue where the fielders were playing

Nice hit by Soto, slide next time
