We sure as shit could have used Kopech. That said, everybody is facing the same thing.

His deer stand.

He does sans Lorenzo apparently!

The Sox' graphic team is embarrassing.

Moncada was flying open yesterday and dropping his back shoulder. He's prone to it early on in the season when he's still limbering up the switch hitting. Just something that happens to him from the left side.

I'm with you but I don't think Renteria knows the concept of a true platoon situation.

Well damn, I figured he'd be coaching or something by now. Always nice to add a Michigan Man back into the Org!

Man we have a lot of dumb selfish people in America.

He's def made some changes to his swing and so far so good. He's quicker to the ball, by a lot.

He's Bo Jackson if Bo only focused on baseball from the time he was 10 or so. I think that's the comp. He is the best athlete I have ever seen in a Sox uniform. In fact he makes guys like Anderson and Moncada look pedestrian.

According to this I don't think that's correct. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-roster-transaction-rules-for-2020-season Yermin is already on the 40 man and part of the "60 pool". I don't think having him on the "taxi squad" makes a difference. I think Renteria just really loves Nicky.

You already have Mazara and Garcia and Engel there's no need for Delmonico.

At least he got to pitch some big league innings but yea, it sucks for him and the Sox. Next man up tho and so far so good with the pen.

Should have been Delmonico going down but whatever. Is Garcia back today?

My god is this team actually doing things right for once? https://theathletic.com/1966848/2020/08/03/how-the-white-sox-have-guided-their-latin-american-prospects-through-a-pandemic/

He was locked in almost every AB. Was clearly seeing the ball well I love how the Sox now have guys like Moncada and Grandal that thrive in deep counts, at least as much as possible.

Grandal is growing on me already. He had some really great ABs in big spots against KC. With him and EE it finally feels like we have a critical mass of guys that are professional hitters and more often than not are going to have a good approach with runners on base. Maybe it will even start to rub off on TA when he gets back. Also, when Madrigal went from 1st to 3rd yesterday all I could think of was how he's going to drive the opposition bat shit insane being a little guy that's a pest that catches everything, just like Little Nicky Punto did to us for years.

Madrigal doesn't have much pull in his swing for better and worse he's never gonna flip his hips and dump a ball into the concourse in right. The load mechanism he uses seems to maximize the time he has to commit to any given pitch and he makes it work. He could shorten it and sell out for power but I don't think that's his game. He has excelled with his approach at every level so if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Keep playing well please.

how am I more sober than you caufiield at this hour? madrigal is a nice player. his shit isn't unicorn technicolor.

whoever said "mendick looks like a guy high school guys think is a guy who fucks" is my hero, that's got to be one of the funniest thing I've ever read here. He totally does. This team fucks, let's not cancel the season.

Moncada crushed it right at him

Why are we not pinch hitting???!!

GOD DAMNIT.

FUCK RENTERIA AND FUCK DELMONICO!
