QUOTE (ron883 @ May 10, 2017 -> 10:09 AM) The thing with Todd is 1. Had has people behind him who can take over. Jose, while nothing special when you account for his defense, has nobody knocking on his door. 2. Todd doesn't have the weird cult following that Jose does. jose could bat .200 for the season and youd have people here defending how great he is. You do realize that only about 100 players in the entire history of major league baseball have a career OPS above .873, right?

The stats of this team are so bizarre, across the board. They almost don't make any sense at all. Not only do certain individuals not make any sense, but you look at their team stats and wonder how this team could only have a team OPS in the .600s scoring 7, 8, 12 runs in many recent games. The whole thing is just baffling.

Who the hell is this team??? Gotta admit I'm loving this so far.

This is absolutely amazing

This team sure likes doubles

I look at their team stats and mutter to myself "who the heck is this team???" A lot of positive development from positions we will need next year, and if Davidson and Garcia emerge with solid progress, if Holland and Gonzalez are solid #3s and Rodon can come back healthy and strong we are looking at being a couple position players away from being in real contention. Lot of ifs I know, but something is different about the culture this year. I only wonder if our record ends up being too good this year to get the draft pick we need.

I will be at the game chanting for an Asche appearance. I'll be the guy in the Sox jersey

What the hell was that tag up with a 5 run deficit in the 9th?

Hahaha keystone cops defense for tribe today - yeesh Maybe everyone is hung over

Saladino looking horrible this afternoon with the golden sombrero

I'm good with this thread staying put. This team isn't gonna keep winning every game

Also I would like to say for the record that my guy Asche might actually be the right kind of bad. Apparently he's every kind of bad

It's nice to be on the other end of the inevitable "we should be handling this bad team at home" discussion being held at a Tribe forum near you rn

Well that was a nice start

I could get used to this kind of Davidson

Asche cannot be removed. He must play.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:38 PM) I remember when I still loved Jose as a player. Those days are gone. Jose is a slow starter. It's time white sox fans start recognizing it. I'll take the slow April and May to get the July and August stats we usually see from him

I agree that it's been a pretty good week - can Shields possibly play his way into some trade value for an NL contender (if we pay some of that salary) Dare to dream

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 02:58 PM) Love the avatar pic! Well done. He's my guy!

I'm really hoping Saladino continues to put up good numbers. He's not off the charts but he seems pretty serviceable as a 5th infielder (post Moncada callup) What were we expecting from him organizationally before last year?

Been a fan of this material since before the Sox won the series and it's still surreal to see stuff like this happening with GoT. Wish I could be there but I'm in FL that week.
