QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 08:44 PM) Remember when Longoria looked like a potential HoFer at 3B? He's been there ten years now. 2008 playoff series seems ages ago. Except that stupid Balfour nonsense with Orlando Cabrera. What's crazy is that his 2009 season, when he had a 889 OPS, was good for a 133 wRC+, in 2013, when he had an OPS of 842, that was also a 133 OPS+. Offense has fallen off. GOD DAMN LEURY. He needs to be benched for tmr IMO. Too many mental errors today, one of them on sheer laziness, the other sheer stupidity.

Narvaez isn't half bad really. And that is a sick Rawlings glove Swarzak has.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) Maybe the weight loss and concentration of "fast twitch" muscular development, rather than sheer bulk/power. I certainly think so.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 09:24 PM) 3-4 2b for Moncada Not at all surprising it took him a week or so to get back into any sort of rhythm after the thumb issue.

Should just stuck with Beck. Who cares about this game.

Hawk actually made a good point that this year Avi isn't missing his pitches. Obviously difficult to say what's changed but his bat is certainly quicker.

Avi!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 09:03 PM) I'm glad Ricky is contributing towards the tank any way he can... IKR?

christ almighty Renteria is a s*** in game manager.

sky didn't fall, sorry chicken littles.

nice throw dumbass.

My god, what a stadium.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 08:23 PM) Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm definitely not seeing what you're seeing. And Hawk & Stone both think it hit a cable or catwalk. And quite frankly, why would it be ruled a HR if it didn't hit anything? I have no idea. But if Hawk thinks it hit something think the opposite

Thanks ump.

That said, his bat is still way quicker as shown by pulling that pitch.

Avi is back into his crouch, I don't like it.

Yolmer Sanchez is blossoming.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 08:09 PM) Not to be a dick, but the video of it on MLB.com is titled "Sanchez's homer off the catwalk". To me it's clear as night and day it hit something and the first thing that came to mind was a catwalk. Not to be a dick but if you watch the replay it's clear it didn't hit anything. The TB announcing crew was all over it.

TA is fine. He's been -2.5 runs according to Fangraphs. That's mediocre obviously but for a 23 year old SS coming off a +13 year it's fine. He's going to take some lumps this is a great year to take them.

Renteria and RV both have no idea how to use challenges effectively. God almighty, can we please get a manager that has a f***ing clue about basic strategy in the modern game?

His command is just not there so far this year and for a guy that pitches at 90-93 he needs it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 07:21 PM) Yea. It was a super bizarre play you will see it On replay it clearly didn't hit anything it just had some crazy tail on it. I have no idea why they gave him a HR.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 06:29 PM) Who cares, as long as he's healthy that's all that matters no kidding.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 04:54 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen‏Verified account @CST_soxvan 11m11 minutes ago Carlos Rodon has allowed 3 runs -- 2 on a home run -- in 2 innings for Class A Winston-Salem. He also has six strikeouts. First rehab start. Apparently struggling with arm side fastball command. Stop me if you've heard that before. He's back, in all ways! Throwing 98 though is great. Must feel pretty good.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 05:24 PM) Sounds like a Chris Sale rehab start. Very encouraging to see. f*** yea. He sounds healthy. Let's hope he feels good tmr and the day after.
