White Sox have no clue how to advance runners and play small ball in order to manufacture runs. Hence all the solo homers when three run homers are needed.

Sheets into RF as a defensive replacement lol.

Fwiw, Ahmed Rosario was the #1 FA to be in. this year's SS class... and that's just an embarrassing situation compared to the last couple of FA classes at that position. Also goes to show the importance of locking in younger players at middle infield positions like the Guardians Braves Reds etc., have done or are doing. CLE won't even blink when they let Rosario go after this year. White Sox produced four All Stars and multiple MVPs at that position if you count Escobar Semien Tatis and nothing almost nothing left to extract value from with all those in house assets.

Sorry, meant Anderson Abreu and Bryant. Andrus was just a reference point for how far Bryant and the Rockies have fallen off.

Hahn and KW are stealth geniuses... responsible for 3 of Top 12 fWAR's in the game. Unfortunately, only Robert for the White Sox.

202nd in fWAR out of 215 players with 200+ plate appearances... Along with Abreu at the bottom, you have Andrus at 188 and Kris Bryant at 196 for comparison. Pretty incredible falls for those three former stars.

Montoyo... the bench coach, too

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/philadelphia-phillies-broadcasters-picked-wrong-205954680.html Might want to avoid trading TA7 to the Phillies... that said, he would have to homer first to agitate broadcaster and long time pitcher Larry Andersen

Cojones

Explanations for stunning even and now odd year successes... yet another team that seems to get the most out of the least. (Note: Sox should be very grateful Twins let Lemonte Wade Jr. and Luis Arraez both get away.)

They would be better off developing their own catcher internally at least once a generation of players...

Angels 23-0 over the Rockies after 11 and 8 run innings... barely halfway through. Five homers, including Drury (Sox could have looked at but apparently out of budget) and Trout.

Can we get Bobby Bonilla back?

Great, have to listen to Youkilis touting the Red Sox all game long. Might as well throw Chris Berman into the booth for good measure.

Brooks Boyer put that together to hype up Lynn's trade value to a contender.

Red Sox 25-7 when scoring the first run. Tristan Casas showing Vaughn what size a traditional 1B possesses, looking over him...not that he's the greatest of defenders, either.

Reds should be looking at Gio Lynn Clevinger etc. Currently are down four starting pitchers...Lodolo out until at least August "Cincinnati Reds starter Ben Lively has a bum pec, and it has sent him to the 15-day injured list as of Saturday afternoon. That means he joins Nick Lodolo, Hunter Greene, Connor Overton, Justin Dunn, Vlad Gutierrez, Tejay Antone, Tony Santillan, Derek Law, and Casey Legumina in the team’s pitching infirmary, with Graham Ashcraft (dead arm/death of grandparent) having only just emerged from said list earlier today. The Reds announced the IL decision, though they’ve yet to announce who will take Lively’s spot on the roster." redlegnation.com

Who are now only 1 game under .500 again...

https://climbingtalshill.com/posts/it-s-time-to-give-jose-abreu-the-luis-robert-jr-treatment-01h19kc6mcr0 Tbought it was funny another Sox player was referenced to how they should handle Abreu's ($58.5 million albatross contract) in Houston.

No Hamilton. No Engel. No Leury. Preventing injuries to players who can actually run...see Moncada Robert Anderson. Mysterious falls in sprint speed...see Moncada. Romy the fastest player this year but he can't get on base. Andrus too old to run. Grandal Vaughn Sheets lack the burst to run.

One of the most interesting stats is that Cleveland has never been more than 7 games under .500 going back to the 2016 World Series team... the last year the AL Central was relevant until CLE won something in the post season last year.

Lions are definitely on the upswing and the Knicks at least made the playoffs two of the last three years and even won a round. Maybe the Redskins or Royals/Rockies are worse.

Don’t forget running Giolito out of town for no other reason than being the union rep. But at least Hahn et al didn’t lose the Brian Ball discrimination case…so yay for that? Cancelling Sox Fest, raising parking and ticket prices in some areas of the park coming off last year’s extremely disappointing season…getting James Fegan fired because the fanbase has started to completely tune out of anything to do with the team.
