This just in: Covey still sucks.

Not a very good AB for Moncada here in the 1st inning.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 17, 2017 -> 12:27 PM) Anderson had his first career four-hit game against the Tigers, going 4-for-5 with three singles, a double and two stolen bases. The White Sox shortstop has been on fire as of late. In September, Anderson is batting .428 with four doubles, two homers and eight RBIs to go along with 13 runs and seven stolen bases. He also has nine multi-hit games in his last 12 outings and extended his hitting streak to eight games. Per CSN quite the remarkable turnaround for TA. Somehow he now sits at .3 fWAR for the season. He has a chance to finish around 1 fWAR and run neutral at SS defense wise. Pretty encouraging, although obviously he can't just crater the first half again next year. But he won't have the new contract pressure and I pray he doesn't have any more deaths in his circle.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) There was no doubt Moncada was scoring on that, got to love speed. yea and good baserunning getting to 2nd before that.

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 06:40 PM) 96 rbis for jose, beast great OP on this thread.

Anybody watch Donovan People's Jones today house one from 79 yards? #1 overall WR recruit last cyle, top 10 overall. Anyways, he and Moncada run the same damn way. They glide.

ump misses a perfect strike.

Seems like Moncada gets quite a few hits in the hole to the right side.

This team is too good right now to really tanking anymore. Long term that's good but kiss the 2nd and 3rd pick goodbye. Probably 4th. Great to see Reylo doing well again.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 11:50 AM) I'm already thinking about where the Avi statue should be placed Lol, I'm thinking of where to move Franks so Avi's can be more prominently displayed.

great report. yea according to pitch trax the ump blew several calls.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 09:46 PM) Best command I've ever seen Fulmer have tonight, hope it continues. there was some wierd juju in the building tonight. Sanchez had his stuff from three years ago and Fulmer looked like a legit backend rotation prospect. Just one night, but pretty unlikely coming in. Sanchez blew by his swinging strike high by 10-12 I believe. He was past his previous high in the 5th inning.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 09:17 PM) I can't believe any team would draft Chris Sale. His delivery was so violent and crazy! chris sale has a smooth, leg powered delivery. It's nothing like fulmer's. People were concerned about the so called "inverted w" elbow action. Obviously I'm not a pitching expert but a poor delivery, in MLB, stands out. Fulmer's stands out.

TA's range on popups is absurd.

and then an awful call rings him up. FFS, this ump has missed numerous strikes low in the zone now calls one up and in that is clearly out of the zone. Robots cannot come soon enough.

Moncada got a cookie and missed it.

Goodness Castellanos is a god damn joke in the field. How did Smith not take 2nd there? Poor hustle.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 06:58 PM) OPS is actually a stellar .785 now. Even better His wRC+ is 113, that would be tied with Robbie Cano (appropriately enough) and good for 7th among qualified 2B. Not bad kid, not bad.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 06:58 PM) He's hitting .230 and his OPS is somewhere near .770. Once things get to normal with him and hits falling/getting comfortable within the strike zone, he's already on a path to being a top 3 2b in the AL soon. He looks good, really good.

108 mph exit velocity. Mercy.

Moncada now has his iso up to .198. That is a reason to get very excited. He's flashing this power this early, the sky is the limit.

Way back! Yoan! That was a damn missile.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 06:31 PM) Sanchez's change is pretty good tonight so far. Fulmer has his work cut out for him. Yea he's got his three pitch mix working. Thing is Sanchez can fall apart at any time. I'd expect some better swings 2nd time through.

Fulmer's delivery just looks awful to me. Rushed, no leg drive, all arm whip.

Sanchez actually appears to have good stuff tonight. Go figure.
