  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. So 2000 wasn’t Frank’s prime? Ok.
  4. Frank Thomas was a career .248 hitter vs the Cubs in 131 plate appearances.
  5. The orioles have a bad major league lineup. The white sox have a good AAA bullpen
  6. 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.
  7. LOL I guess Jeremy Reed was a flat out bust out at that point.
  8. 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.
  9. Also we are very quietly 9-6 in the last 15 since starting 3-8
  10. Manny! McCann! More Home Run magic by TA7!
  11. Is McCann experiencing some absurd outlier or???
  12. I'd see what Rondon could do with the stick this year. Could we move him to first?
  13. Will cross 1000 career PAs tonight
  14. Did Tim actually serve the suspension yesterday? Or was he just out of the lineup?
  15. 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
  16. nevermind, it just started moving again.
  17. what is happening in this game? gameday hasn't moved in like 10 minutes.
  18. So is Moncada still in the game?
  19. Why is Eloy batting fifth and Anderson sixth? Considering Anderson's been on fire I would think he merits batting higher.
  20. 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
  21. Great comeback! I’m hopeful that we might see a good stretch of baseball coming up from the Sox, given the opponents...
