This pretty much encapsulates everything wrong with this organization right now. Sure, it was 50% joking around...but if he wasn't constantly getting hurt it wouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Must have the lowest success rate in the majors advacing runners to third with zero or one outs...

This is one of the very FEW record breakdowns that even has historically abysmal KC over the Sox due largely to the 2013-2016 time period.

One of the great mysteries is what happened to the team down the stretch from 2012 into 2013. A team that plated much better defense in 2012 suddenly just fell apart, more or less. Eventually they would add Abreu, who was just a monster back then... but too little too late to turn things back around. Feels like none of their top prospects like Beckham Viciedo and Avisail from back then really lived up to their promise... and Anderson was such a raw prospect when he hit the big leagues as well.

Statistically you would think three run homers are much more likely to win a pitcher's matchup than strunging together 2-3 hits. Almost showing Rodriguez too much respect. Scholtens game felt like a loss before game even started, no Robert inserted for defense late yesterday and now this stranger things lineup.

Even Mendick has been a loss.

Celtics on the verge of saving the NBA Finals from a tv ratings standpoint. Didn't think they had it in them down like that.

Yes, I meant after he was moved to third and hasn't been moved since... as his defense at second was borderline terrible.

Lawrence or Chicago snow/winds?

For some reason, Moncada is the one player in the sport that can't ever be moved around.

Cleveland Guardians' Jose Ramirez seemingly unaffected by wearing Moncada Collection day-glo sleeves, socks and apparel. In all seriousness, Francona really runs a solid ship over there. Quality human being. AJ and Benetti on Fox Game of the Week just interviewed Cal Quantrill and it seemed our "homer" broadcasters were having a lot more fun than being around the White Sox debacle.

Disconcerting?

29% chance of winning games league wide without home ring as a team. Not exactly the greatest of odds there for the Guardians, with only 30 on the season. https://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/team/_/table/batting/sort/homeRuns/dir/asc Four of bottom 11 in the majors AL Central. White Sox now 20th. Quite strange to not see Houston (Abreu) and Philly up there.

Two best organizations in baseball saw something there with him...Dodgers with an absolutely insane laundry list of pitching injuries.

Until he comes back as the next Jimmy Cordero somewhere else...

Pitched in 11 of the first 21 games... a pitcher with that injury history, that's more than he was accustomed to, especially since he had always been a starter. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/41389/jimmy-lambert

He was close to leading the league in appearances 2-3 weeks ago before Middleton and Santos arrived...

Can't try to overcome three teams in a four team race though... especially with Detroit soon to get back more pitching and the financial flexibility to go for it at the deadline.

White Sox with three hits all day. Almost ready to start cheering for Minnesota DET and Cleveland so the team is pretty much forced to trade some players at the deadline. Was tired 4-4, Twins looking to avoid .500 getting back out to a 7-4 lead. White Sox and Blue Jays might have comparable playoff odds lol.

But also smart base running to get to third when he started sliding. Robert likely catches it standing... but ended up all academic anyway.

Lambert just doesn't have his crisp stuff any more after being run into the ground the first 4-5 weeks.

. 065 is more likely

On the plus side, Vince Velasquez is 4-3 with a 3.06 ERA. Whatever can go wrong will go wrong this year...

Have you looked at Rodriguez' numbers this year? He might be the most valuable trade piece based on that strange contract of his. Or they hold onto him and do a QO. After getting rocked on 4/27, against TOR, usage came back down... that and the arrivals of Middleton and Santos. Bummer Lopez and Lambert are the three most expendable bullpen arms right now... but the first two names aren't going anywhere, but possibly traded.

That might be the real death blow on this season...I mean they might be just five back still after losing here, but desperately needed to make some type of run towards the 4-6 games under .500 range.
