May 1 vs O's straight doubleheader 3:10 PM start time
Jack, Frank Thomas was a 1.05-1.1 OPS player from 1991-1997. He was a .900+ OPS player for the rest of his career. vs the Cubs he was way worse than his career splits the point you are straining yourself to miss is that small sample sizes vs one team mean nothing

In 2004 Frank Thomas had a .997 OPS. In 2003 he had a .952. They weren’t his best years, but they were way way way way better than most players in the league.

So 2000 wasn’t Frank’s prime? Ok.

The orioles have a bad major league lineup. The white sox have a good AAA bullpen

Anderson probably won't have enough to win AL player of the month. There's 4-5 AL hitters ahead of him in terms of WAR and OPS.

Do you look at Jose Abreu at "32" the same way you looked at Paul Konerko at 34?
LOL I guess Jeremy Reed was a flat out bust out at that point.

Jeremy Reed? Dayan Viciedo?

Let's say Abreu is 2 years older than listed (although there's nothing to prove that). When Konerko hit FA as a 34 year old slow first baseman, did you want to renew him? as it because he had a breakout year in 2010 where he had one of the highest WARs of his career? Did you even think he could possibly replicate that? Was it simply because "world series"/intangible things? Did you want him to retire a White Sox, having played almost all of his games here? The sentiment with Abreu seems to be much that he's more disposable. Either flip him for value or don't re-sign him. The sentiment seems to be that he MUST be declining, even though we all know he was dinged up last year. Konerko was a career 27.7 WAR player over 18 seasons. Abreu is a 19.4 over 5+ seasons. If he has a .850 OPS / 3.0 WAR year, should we keep him? Btw I'm one of the ones who generally thinks we should NOT keep him but I'm wondering why I felt differently about Konerko in 2010.

Is McCann experiencing some absurd outlier or???

Jose Rondon needs to be the starting 2nd baseman
I'd see what Rondon could do with the stick this year. Could we move him to first?

4/17 1:10 pm - White Sox v. Royals (Giolito v. Keller)
If Tim Anderson continues to have a BA above .400 and an OPS north of 1.1 he can flip the bat on every damned at bat as far as I’m concerned Cant wait til he wins player of the month and maybe West can overrule and throw that out without any accountability and then Sox fans can find a way to blame the player literally setting April on fire for just doing what keeps him motivated to set April on fire Do you, Tim

So is Moncada still in the game?

4/17 1:10 pm - White Sox v. Royals (Giolito v. Keller)
Why is Eloy batting fifth and Anderson sixth? Considering Anderson's been on fire I would think he merits batting higher.

White Sox Winner!!
The New York Yankees aren’t really a shitty team. The Sox flat out outplayed them and their talent last weekend. Yes they’re without Stanton, but they still have a good team. The jury is out on the 2019 White Sox, IMO. They could be a 75-80 win team of things start really clicking or they could be a 65-72 win team if things go backwards again soon. one thing’s for sure - we shouldn’t be hearing any more talk after the last five games about how “historically bad” they will be this season

White Sox Winner!!
Great comeback! I’m hopeful that we might see a good stretch of baseball coming up from the Sox, given the opponents...
