Venable just keep putting lefties in the lineup against RHP and keeping everyone sharp when it's really not necessary. Like the 1st game with the win blowing out there was no reason to sit Elko against a AAA pitcher. Why call him up otherwise ?

I don't know what he's lost but the walking and stealing bases Robert is not nearly as good as the free swinging Robert.

Yep really good talent. Plays hard , shoes a lot of enthusiasm. Sox fans would go apeshit over a grinder with that much talent and swag.

Vargas takes over team lead in HRs ?

Var- Gone !!!

Cannon pitching well.

That thought only crosses an optimists' mind when your talent level is much worse. It crossed my mind too actually 🤣

Why on Katz ? Not expecting Busch to steal but it's the pitcher and catcher on the field. I'm sure it's something they practice. In real time it's up to the players to execute.

I wouldn't be longing to make that catch with a brick wall coming up fast either. The ivy isn't padding. Can't expect him to make that catch in that ball park .

A Very White Sox 1st inning. Meidroth hard hit double in the corner in left. Vargas sinking liner to right caught on a slide.Meidroth tags gets to 3rd. Palacios batting 3rd because there's a RH pitching lines out to left and Meidroth gunned out at home on a perfect throw by Suzuki. 3 batters, 3 hard hit balls,1 double ,3 outs.

That's pitiful. How do you get that info ?

That HR by Elko was the hardest hit HR at Wrigley this season and the hardest hit HR by the Sox this season. 111 MPH. Plus he's the only one to take a walk.

Sure PH for Elko wtf ?

That's why I wanted Elko and Sosa in the lineup today.

Robert invisible today . Vargas off the wall for a double 4 hits .Solid in the field. Great day.

Sure did and I doubt Getz called Venable to tell him to do that.

That strike 3 to Lopez acted like a screwball. PCA is a pretty good hitter. 6 RBI

True but Quero is 22. He could eventually hit with some power. How much is hard to say.

Thaiss having a bad day.

Castro the new guy.

Castro. This should be interesting. If he walks the 1st batter things could get dicey.

Rojas pitiful

So if you think Grifol was a bad manager and Venable is a clone but instead blaming Venable you rather blame Getz by broad generalizations about lineup contruction and playing time. I'd ask you for some examples of these lineup constructions and playing time where Grifol and Venable are the same but I know you can't prove it by providing a large sample size of examples of anything concrete so it can be analyzed. Just your usual no facts , accusations. It's ludicrous to think Getz is telling Venable to do things that he voices his opinion against.

Vargas again !

Yes rookie, never any appearances in the Brewers system taken by the Sox in the Rule 5 so had to be on the Sox 26.
