Stop looking offspeed with 2 strikes kid.

Seems like whenever I'm hungover at work on a weekday and there's a day game it goes about this way. Sorry Soxtalk.

Bad luck on top of bad baseball, nice.

Making this bum look like fucking Greg Maddox. #justwhitesoxthings

shitty hanging breaking ball or a flat change cock shot meatball and he pops it up weakly to 1B. Dude.

Of course.

Two years running now.

At least we aren't Tigers fans, man it must be painful watching Cabby on that team.

Yes, please.

Nice throw by Eloy but Nick was running pretty well.

Part of my resentment lately for Jose is that they treat him like royalty. Like, if he doesn't want to DH too fucking bad.

Must be nice having a competent defensive 1B.

He plays not to get injured, which is fine with me. If he was the only below par defender on the team no problem. But we got bad defenders at LF, 1B, CF and RF most days.

Hammer me but I'm sick of Jose at 1B.

He's been going after the 1st pitch a bit more but for the most part pitchers have done a good job keeping the ball out of his wheelhouse. He really hasn't seen many meatballs.

Eloy looking a bit like bad Avi lately with those ground balls to SS.

Nova appears as healthy as he's been lately might actually be a decent Hahn dumpster dive.

Jose Abreu is broken.

Holy shit the angle on the Tigers broadcast has to be one of the worst in all of MLB.

can he catch balls hit 20 feet in front of him, and get a hit more than once every 30 or so PA? If so, he's going to be welcomed with open arms.

Ricky actually making a good decision, nice.

A for effort solid D for execution. Palka sucks it's amazing how bad the Sox' self scouting is on a year to year basis. This club can find -1 WAR faster than anybody. It's a fucking corner OF spot FFS.

not bad jason, not bad. My hate will abate for now.

pardon my ignorance but what do scouts think of that loading mechanism? not exactly a yoan moncada hip and wrist flip to the ball.

Believe they use UZR which takes forever (some say years) to give a useable sample. The number you're seeing on the page next to moncada is his average of runs saved (or not) relative to the league I believe and then position adjusted to come up with WAR (could be wrong, it was hard to find just now). So Yolmer, even tho he's a lousy 2B so far, he gets more credit than say a RF who's just average.
