The Roaring 20's ! Nah maybe that's better if we were the Tigers and they get good.

Damn you're like a virgin on her honeymoon on X.

Me likey !

FIFY!

You are good, I never ignore anyone. Some people are just pussy's. You explained your reverse jinxy post .

or we don't read every post

Did not age well.

WOOOOOOO Jose Jose Jose Jose , Jose Jose !!!

How many staffs in MLB actually have all their relievers under a 5.00 ERA ?

Woot ! Thank u YoYo.

1 red zone spot on Hicks heat zone and Carson hit it and was basically right near it with the 2 other strike. 3 pitches right down the middle.

That's my boy ! I miss when we could adopt prospects.

I think the Sox have another HR in them this game so hold those Tigers.

Cordell either ate his Wheaties or really likes playing CF.

I wonder if they skip Kanny with him and send him straight to W-S .

Thank you I knew i was missing something in my head. That has to be it. Probably boosted significantly because of stolen bases and over all base running.

Admittedly I know nothing about wRC+. I know it's weighted runs created and whatever the plus is but that's all I know . Just by looking at the stats there I don't understand how Robert's is higher than Eloys, Eloy 2 more extra base hits, 15 more RBI, 6 more walks, 13 less K's, OBP about the same. Eloy slg. and OPS higher. I know their stats are very similar as is the wRC+ but strange to see Eloy's even slightly lower.

I am generally on your side in this. Just too few healthy PA's for Robert. We all are seeing that Robert will have the same problem as Eloy with the down and away breaking pitches But something you said made this click . Eloy had 3 X the minor league AB's and that still didn't help his ability to hit the MLB slider ? Why ? Because he wasn't seeing the best sliders in the world in AAA. Robert also plays with abandon, flying around in the OF and stealing bases. I'm really torn on this subject, I'd love to see him cut down on the K's and increase the walks in the minors for plate discipline reasons. I want him to also recognize those nasty breaking pitches earlier and what to look for in order to determine that they are not recognized in his head as fastballs. Baseball is one game that takes guys with great athletic abilities, a guy like Robert with quick reflexes, great hand eye coordination and embarrasses the hell out of them by taking advantages of the physical gifts and tricking him into using them . Can you learn to lay off more of those pitches by getting more experience in learning about when you should expect those kinds of pitches ? Once a pitcher gets ahead in the count you get exploited and your natural gifts are used against you. Jump on that 1st pitch fstball becuse he won't be seeing many once he gets behind in the count. Health is now always a question and he is healthy now. I fear waiting will just give him more chances to make a mess of his body. Yes I am paranoid now about injuries. I think he can learn more in the minors but he has to work on them and success often breeds contempt for change. He might have to experience the embarassment and failures of hitting against big league pitching in order to take changing seriously.

Thursday is free t shirt day and since it's the 4th of July maybe a fireworks show . Doesn't say on the schedule so I don't know. Might be a sell out or close to it. There's an off day on Friday so I'd guess they both are in the lineup. It's 1st 10.000 fans get the t shirt so get there early if you can. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/tickets/promotions/free-t-shirt-thursdays The 4th of July tee looks nice.

Who Knows, maybe he can be like Nelson Cruz.

Of course you should take them. It's all about making memories with Dad. Enjoy the children the lineup is secondary.

Bring him up to the Sox !

u is 2 broski.

Or even Mike Fiers who I was pushing for when he was non tendered.

Umm wouldn't that include us as Sox fans?
