Yes with this quote, fuck home runs when the BABIP for the team was through the roof. He is similar to the Don Cooper theory of sacrificing speed for location and movement...although maybe Cooper was right.

I always liked Hendricks as a two inning guy similar to what I think they hoped Kopech would be. Imagine him coming in instead of Crochet in game 2.

1 is fluke 2 is a concern 3 is Jim McMahon territory Robert and Eloy are in category 2 and Nick is in category 3. How do you dislocate your shoulder sliding feet first?

Because GM's talk especially at the trade deadline. It seems the cubs were looking to take care of the traded players and get them to places they wanted to be. Kimbrel wanted to stay in Chicago and that was taken care of by moving him to the Sox. The Sox paid a steep price as well for this. The Sox will look really foolish if they picked up the option and had nowhere to move him to unless they are comfortable keeping him which seems foolish but maybe they really like him. Hahn better have a plan for moving him if that is the intent as $16M is a large nut for an 8th inning guy.

So you think the White Sox are picking up the $16M option with the hope of trading him for something of value or keeping him next year. Both are very possible but if the goal is to trade him I hope the foundation of a trade is in place as if not then he is in the Sox pen next year.

How secure is your job though?

There has to be a deal that was in place at the deadline that the Sox had a team obtaining Kimbrel this offseason. A three way trade with the Sox hanging on to Kimbrel for this season and him being moved in the offseason to make it easier on his family. I could be 100% wrong but that makes the most sense in all of this for this trade to make some sense.

For the series top 6 players 1 XB hit that's your series.

This otganization is weak minded and this game is proof. Kimbrel should have drilled a guy to start the 9th.

Yep

Yep

Hitting approach has been and will continue to be the issue.

Yep and yet Kimbrel is the issue

Thank God Kopech got into the game today.

Eloy 2021 post season about as good as 2020. Hopefully his mom is able to watch.

Can't move Tim off SS or leadoff..no rationale reason but they won't. Same reason Moncada can't play 2B. Hope Ray Ray chimes in with the stellar numbers from 1 through 6 and how 7-9 are the problem.

The offseason will be Sox fans being told health and growth are the answer to next year and hoping starting pitching is as good as this year.

Gold chains and open shirts for everyone

No pop in this lineup at all. Even Sunday it was not the guys paid to produce. Top 6 one extra base hit.

Mccullers is out

Or one of the top 6 hitters in your lineup did something. Other then the 3 run dribbler inning they have done nothing.

Top 6 has on extra base hit in series.

Should wear big red shoes and a hi mom button that shoots water.

Top 6 has on extra base hit in series.

Has kopech been better than kimbrel?
