Eloy cannot cover anything outer half of the plate. He's completely clueless about it and so is the staff apparently.

warning track power comes through!

Yikes. Maldonado line almost dropped that.

Well damn, the Sox actually were correct about the first pitch time.

I don't know DeJong other than the back of his baseball card but it's shocking if any Sox fan really thought TA was a bounceback candidate. I made a post on exactly why he wasn't (mostly based on his batted ball data and statcast decline in his EV and sprint speed) and low and behold he hasn't bounced back and has actually been WORSE than last season by quite a bit so far. He's been so bad that it is likely he's out of MLB unless he turns it around in the next two months.

WTF man.

We'll just have to be patient and see how it pans out. The Sale trade looked immaculate for a few years too.

It's not a big deal at all. I've stopped wishcasting on super young pitching prospects. If anything it's a bonus he's already had TJS and hasn't had his MLB clock started. I think part of the problem with the Detroit rebuild and in part ours, was relying way too much on 23-26 year old pitchers.

If burger was a stock the Sox sold him at the absolute peak. he will likely never put up a stretch of 2 months at a 850 OPS or higher again.

Pitching coming back to earth with a thud this week. If the score holds today they will be 20-18 with a +1 differential. Their schedule is pretty tough to end May, with a trip out East to play the Orioles, Yanks and Nationals before coming home to face the Astros again. I'd bet they are .500 or slightly below by the time June come around.

I think it's entirely possibly we play like .400 ball from here on out. That would be like a 52-110 team. Just putrid but not historically awful. I agree, soft bias of low expectations.

He should just stop talking imo. The stupid s%*# he said about Robert's injury (was unclear if he actually had a setback or if they were just adjusting the time table back a couple weeks) only muddled the waters.

Don't yuck their yum buddy!

Not really a comparable situation given how much projected surplus value Q had at the time relative to his salary.

Fedde against Lively. White Sox current fWAR hitting leaders: De Bong .8 Moncada .3 Sheets .3 Big Dick Mendick .2 Lee .2 White Sox current fWAR hitting losers: Maldonado -1 Beni -1 Vaughn -.9 Shewmake -.6 White Sox current fWAR pitching leaders: Crochet .7 Banks .6 Fedde .4 Flexen .3 White Sox current fWAR pitching losers: Leone -.5 Soroka -.4 Wilson -.3 Shaw/Kopech/Clevinger/Garcia -.1

Everything else aside, what an awful statement full of ambiguity from the guy supposed to the clear leader of the franchise. PR isn't everything, but it's something.

Honestly I'm oddly into this train wreck of a season and yes, that's partially why I've taken it up. Soxtalk deserves some active threads and talk even if the team doesn't really deserve our attention or applause. Baseball is the backdrop of the summer and no matter how s%*# this team is I'll have it on with at least a half eye cocked on it.

you had the postgamer already cued up.

Seriously tho, that was a solid win.

Kopech is a 10 cent head.

oh yea gavin vaughn, even better lol.

lol a double moves his wRC+ to 45, come on, let's at least get an OPS over 600 before we start talking about how great he is.

shriffen embarrassing himself talking about eloy vaughn...
