Moncada changed his luck with the pink shoes lol. Harrelson and Ted Williams would hate those shoes with a passion except Mother's Day and that Breast/Prostate cancer day thing they do everything year.

Maybe a clue that outfield defense is pretty important...

Jimenez a potentially MVP quality hitter...but never going to be a well rounded player with all of his value coming from offense. But yeah, Moncada was/is key. Grandal Pollock Leury can't be compensated for by Abreu/Robert/Vaughn and the defense.

I would take a free flier on LBJ and just hope for a hot streak. Feels more likely than Engel going on a tear. But not by much.

That was right in the middle of pennant race pressure as a rookie...they quickly reduced he wasn't ready. Way too many K's as would become obvious the next two seasons with the Sox.

Guardians came to play tonight.

https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-teams-2022-postseason-urgency-rankings Little bit surprisingly, Sox are still middle if the pack here too. Top 3 are quite obvious, then it gets murkier. Guardians 14th. Pretty pathetic for the Central that 2/3 contenders almost completely blew off the trade deadline or actually subtracted and gave another experienced catcher to the first place team in Leon. "This is a team with a ton of talent in its prime, an owner who wants to win right now, a farm system that isn’t producing a ton of future talent, a division that isn’t particularly terrifying and a manager who, well, likely isn’t thinking about how his team’s going to be doing in 2030. That’s to say: The time is now. For all their headaches this year, the White Sox are only three games out of the AL Wild Card and in the AL Central, which means everything they wanted out of this season is still in front of them. But if they fall short this year … there is going to be a pretty huge reckoning on the South Side."

.130, in starting lineup hitting ninth today, Jake Lamb 7th

Reyes was so bad in the outfield he was finally shipped out when his offense fell apart…he’s probably comparable to Sheets. What was his DRS the last time he was playing significant time in the field? Decent arm, but a statue, pretty much. Very very streaky hitter. Like Carlos Lee to the 8th power.

Didn’t Milwaukee already try that to disastrous results?

Chapman is supposed to be a Gold Glover. Paid like one.

Yep even then guys like Piranha Cave and especially Gordon and Celestino are gaining invaluable experience. And nowhere for Sano to play. He was Grandal/Moncada levels of bad early season.

Pretty good when you can win that one without Buxton. Well, tied with Guardians. Four more tough games for Twins...Dodgers probably will go 0-2 somehow. Need Orioles or Rays to eliminate each other.

Now Chapman made a terrible throw to home and couldn't corral it. Gordon should have been cut down and reversed the momentum.

Tired of hearing how athletic Vladdy is at first.

Oh no oh no.

Unnamed team about to be 2-15 in last 17 versus Dodgers, lol.

Lopez and T.Hernandez screwing up fantasy team simultaneously.

Fulmer trade saving Twins.

Spanish pronunciation made into Americanese lol. Jaime is James or Jim, but maybe like nickname...?

High fastballs out of the zone. Polanco is deadly in those situations. Plus split advantage and force at every base. Catchers that can defend, pitchers who don't throw wild pitches or walk the world in high leverage.

Yimi Garcia rules!

Smalls?

Polanco is their best clutch hitter...not walking? Changed their minds. Pitch to RH Miranda then maybe Gordon.
