Greg, they don't have a CFer for AFTER they trade Robert...unless you want to look at Greg Jones and aren't expecting him to hit more than .150ish. Believe me, you don't want to watch Palacios or Baldwin in CF too often.

Did some math/s... In 81% of their games, or 30/37, they're averaging 2.48 runs per game. 67 runs scored. Good for a 3-27 record. A robust 10% winning percentage. In the other 7 games, they've scored 61 runs on 8/11/10/9/8/8/7 runs scored in those specific games. Unsurprisingly resulting in a 7-0 record. They've scored 5 runs twice, 1-1 in those games. They've scored 4 runs twice, 0-2 in those games They've scored 3 runs eight times, 2-10 in those games. They've scored 2 runs five times, 0-5 record. They've scored 1 run five times, 0-5 record They've been shut out 4 times as well. 0-4 record A scintillating 2-26 when they score 0-4 runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yet we clearly need more of Nick Maton, Jacob Amaya, Palacios and Vaughn....and are not even willing to try Elko, Julks, Fletcher or utility guy Tristan Gray

White Sox (0-3) 26th in Runs Scored per game (3.46) Royals (3-0) 27th in Runs Scored per game (3.39)

Judge's numbers are absolutely insane...but definitely among the young generation of players. Ohtani ofc is a unicorn as well, especially if his pitching ramps back up to where he was before 2 TJS.

Of course. Hardly the Cardiac Kids.

I think I would walk him to face Sosa, lol...

Rojas has been white hot coming off rehab. We shall see.

Sigh. Well, at least it's not a DP? There's that.

Vaughn's big opportunity to come through or continue being a goat.

Robert's got to run simply to avoid the DP. Up to .190 now.

Don't think anyone had Miguel Vargas as the best player on the team (well, maybe other than Robert or S.Smith) at this point in the season...

Would be nice to bring an outfielder off the bench with a 728 OPS like Canha. Except that would be one of the leading hitters on the Sox.

Maybe Elko will follow in the footsteps of Oscar Colas and put out a social media please for release from captivity???

Well, it is for SD, lol...

Julks and Elko both have over 1.000 OPS numbers...try someone new por favor. Clevinger, thankfully, rocked for 4 in 2 innings for CLT, surrendered 5 hits.

Thorpe, Iriarte, Zavala (still struggling, but showing "signs" supposedly of breaking out according to our minor league forum...still at least 2 years away at the most optimistic) Wilson has been the second most effective pitcher in the bullpen after his 2024 fell apart in spectacular fashion. Royals' hitting with runners on base tonight pretty putrid...but they don't have to do MUCH, especially when you have Witt, Jr.

$288.8 million max value. That's almost FOUR TIMES the Grandal and Benintendi deals, lol. Plus there would be diminished skills clause/poison pills/team or mutual option years...no trade clause to AL Central, limiting potential return/s.

Vaughn 104 EV but a loud out.

With Pasquantino getting healthy as well, that's ALL you need to win in the Central, and the ghost of Sal Perez (had a great outlier season last year). Plus, Maikel Garcia's suddenly a useful player out of nowhere. Really should have held onto Singer instead of trading for India, tbh.

Just summon an AL Central team to play the Sox and suddenly catch fire...

2-13 vs. the AL Central and Bubic statistically has been their best pitcher with a 1.98 ERA heading into tmrw. They can't even succeed at following the plot of Major League as attendance has now pretty much leveled out at the bottom and Campfire Milkshakes/City Connect are carrying the revenues...

He has taken over the role of Sal Perez as Sox Killer...well, it's not like he isn't one of the Top 3-5 players in the entire sport at least. Cease no hitter in the Bronx through 6. 77 pitches. Bottom of the 7th will be the biggest challenge, until the line-up turns over again.

https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/runs-per-game There are still five teams with less runs scored per game than the Sox. The Royals are among them, Rangers, Rockies (in Colorado???), Pirates and shockingly, the Blue Jays At this pace, the White Sox are likely to end up 26th after the night.

Might want to be a bit more careful with Witt than that...lol. No reason to pitch to him there, except for the theoretical threat of a suddenly hot/ter Pasquantino.

Even Royals' fans might be tempted to ask for a refund... But at least we have Nick Maton back from Charlotte, who was OPSing around 400 last time I checked the numbers.
