Slider FB Slider Slider to Lu-Bob...predictable result, until more adjustments are made.

What about starts since 2000 against Sox by crafty lefties with average FB velo under 92?

Consistently a 10-15% spread between the two, with FG always the higher number.

Almost put him on that Ten Best after Trout list...

Yet somehow, in the last month, Trump has closed the lead from 12 points to 4, almost within the +/- margin of error...

But a 670ish OPS number. He was paid to be an 800+ OPS middle of the order, impact hitter. Look at his LAD numbers. 816, 767, 815, 848 the last for years prior to this one. 812 AVG

Here's the thing, we have a Hispanic manager. We have the biggest contingent of star or near star-level Cuban/Hispanic/Latino players of any team in the known universe. There's always going to be cliques, and it's not always white vs. Hispanic vs. African-American vs. Asian, but it's not unusual, either. Every clubhouse, from majors to minors....has divisions. We just happen to have more than most to resolve, culturally. In the minors, maybe it's the resentment from a 9th rounder towards a "bonus baby" with a $1+ million hypercar. In the end, someone has to bridge the gap between the two factions. Past White Sox teams, it was always Buehrle and Juan Uribe that got along so well together and had great senses of shared humor. Ozzie, famously, created most of the controversies and created an "us vs. them" mindset with everyone united against outsiders, the press/reporters, the Cubs, all the alleged snubs and swipes towards the stepsister to the Cubs with the inferiority complex. KW always played this up, the Raiders/football mentality, mixed up with David vs. Goliath. We have so many huge (or soon to be) stars on this team, pretty soon we will be the hunted, and not the hunters. We have to learn to live with the attention, and channel/focus it in positive ways instead of allowing it to tear the clubhouse and staff apart.

For as well as Cordero has looked at times this season, a bit surprising to see a 6.14 ER.A... Robert gunned down twice so far in the early season. Bang bang play. Might have been reviewed if it was actually a closer game.

What? The Palestinian Authority....? Dallas Keuchel still has to EARN his place in this clubhouse, nothing is given to you in the game of baseball. What have you done for me lately, as they say. And he's doing the best job in the starting rotation in terms of establishing himself as a "streak buster."

He has an endorsement deal with Gold's Gym or Planet Fitness? Wants to get hired as an offseason bodyguard or nightclub bouncer? Maybe he just feels more comfortable like that...instead of always pulling on a loose sleeve? Keeps his arm warmer/snugger, lol? Personal preference, like high or low stirrups?

This is an absolutely huge at-bat for Dylan Carlson in his second career game...a base hit makes this game suddenly a lot more interesting, especially an XBH.

And one swing from Carpenter from being a save situation for Colome... And what were we just saying about no game even with a 7 run lead is safe enough from Ricky Renteria somehow screwing it up?

That 3-2 pitch was almost a strike but not well caught. Now Keuchel's not feeling well? You've gotta be bleepin' me. White Sox trainer ran out there.

That's why you don't sign TB Devil Rays. They constantly mess up your consecutive homer runs...

With Renteria, not even a 7 run lead is safe.

Eloy almost fell down on his homer. Reminds me of the one Robert hit off Rodon in the intrasquad and fell down on the seat of his pants while the ball was exiting the park to LCF.

8/14/08 vs. ROYALS

Let's not get greedy.

Abreu's was hit "well" but barely squeaked out down the line. Would have been a double in quite a few big league ballparks.

Heck the whole team is on E right now.

Indians taking it to the Tigers this weekend. 9-5 likely to have been the DET high water mark this season. WHAT THE HELL? Four in a row? Didn't we last do this in 2005? Chris Widger was one of them in that sequence, that I remember clearly.

Any reliever throwing Carson Fulmer-esque 91-93 MPH fastballs/cutters and mid 80's sliders is doomed in MLB these days.

LULL THEM TO SLEEP ATTACK.
