More XBH for Meidroth. Ho hum

Wow, they must have an angle that we don't. I don't see how you can change the call on the field based on either of those two angles.

Sam took a little stutter step about 2/3 into the route and I knew that meant there was something up with how he was seeing the ball. Wasn't really ever running full blast because he didn't trust his eyes.

Yeah I mean, he makes Chase look like Hank Aaron as far as slugging is concerned

I'd like to register a complaint about CHSN just showing Hard Hit%, Exit Velo, and Launch Angle as the only stats for a hitter. I know they want to "get with the times" or something like that, and I'm a pretty big stats dork myself, but those three stats give me extremely little information about the batter. TBH, I think I'm going to try to figure out if there's a way I can complain to them directly so they know at least one fan doesn't like what they're doing. I got on MLB.tv and watched 6 other broadcasts, they all showed AVG/HR/RBI/OPS.

Rikuu Nishida erasure in here. I want to be there to see fathom's reaction if/when Nishida gets the call

Hell of a pitch to end that AB

Need to know which one before I can pass judgment

Stop sleeping on him

I don't feel too badly about this game. Runs are on the board for the White Sox. Some other things happened that weren't as good. Let's build this plane as it flies.

I wrote fathom a reply and Soxtalk's servers ate it up and spit it out so I don't feel like re-writing it 🫥

I think you underrate Chase's defense. I'm also pretty agnostic about how the production comes as far as power vs. whatever else. But I'm not expecting a lot of production from Chase whether it's from power production or not, merely good enough production for him not to be the weak link on the team unless the team is really good.

In my gut, I see Bonemer at 1B after a Viciedo-esque trial at 3B.

Hate to say it because I find him annoying, but Kelenic has looked fairly hitterish at the plate. Has hit into some nasty luck so far. Of course seeing as he has s%*# for brains I don't count on him maintaining any good level of play.

Sox fans look at Meidroth, a perfectly competent MLB player, and say how can we get rid of this guy? Surprised the same talk about Vargas has quieted down in the past week or two.

Comeback is on lol

Antonacci giving a little bit of a Madrigal vibe as far as being the heady, good-instincts guy and finally meeting his match against MLB competition in that regard.

Pretty easy to see why Seattle was a good bounce of the ball away from the World Series last year. All those lefties are hell

Just remember, Jordan Leasure actually has talent

Raley is having a great year. Don't throw him fastballs down the middle anymore unless you're left-handed.

So are they tickling balls after every double or is there some other interpretation of that gesture?

Wind must be blowing in over there because balls hit like that almost always go out to the corners.

Yeah you just have to hand it to him. Julio is going to strike out 50 times trying to recreate that swing.

Randy stayed home at third because the Sox have good tape on the 1st and 3rd plays

They're hitting pitcher's pitches at this point, not sure what you can do.
