Chicago White Sox

And Lopez has some serious stones, but it’s hard to let this shit get to you when it happens time and time again.

God I hate Engel.

Abreu with an RBI triple to make it 2-0 Sox!

Thanks Insp!

I’m forbidden to since I started yesterday’s and the Sox lost. But we’re already in the second inning and one hasn’t popped up yet.

That is really, really bad. Ricky’s got to make an example of Yoan for that one.

It really seems that way. With Vieira pitching well, I could see a swap between now and the All Star break.

Not that it would or should happen, but would we buy another year of team control if we sent Moncada down for the rest of the season?

Do you have a source for this? I haven’t seen any proposed terms rumored anywhere.

I can confidently say those are the three worst consecutive posts from a single poster in Soxtalk history. Can’t tell if the poster is high on meth or just really struggling to be funny. Either way, this type of garbage is ruining the overall quality of the board.

Nice thread Ron! God knows this board could use some optimism right now! Here are 10 things that got me excited: Tim Anderson’s improving patience (7.4% BB rate vs. 2.1% last year) Jace Fry becoming a bonafide stud reliever (11.6 K/9 & 2.17 FIP) Dylan Cease taking that next step towards becoming a TOR starter The pending addition of Nick Madrigal to Winston Salem Lopez being a badass motherfucker with giant ass balls Luis Robert’s insane tools being as good as advertised Giolito’s velocity & command gradually starting to return The crazy amount of outfield & pitching depth throughout the minors A future bullpen with Zack Burdi, Ian Hamilton, & Tyler Johnson in it Eloy fucking Jimenez

Also, the Knights announcer confirmed once and for all that the stadium gun is 3 MPH vs Trackman. Kopech was sitting around 97 MPH and hit 100 a couple times.

I’m no pitching expert, but it almost seemed like he was having issues with his release point. On the plus side, he seems to be inducing a ton of weak contact, including a lot of grounders.

I have a feeling Moncada has a big night.

And was coming off a four hit game. If Omar sat him two games after that for non-injury reasons then god help us all.

I’m actually hoping Robert is banged up or something, because giving Remillard any amount of playing time over him in the outfield is pretty ridiculous. So far so good for Battenfield. Anyone know what kind of stuff he has?

I’m all for objective & harsh criticism when warranted, but there is way too much whining & panic over pretty much everything. And unfortunately it comes from the same few posters repeating themselves ad nauseam.

You really need to give all of this more time before you jump to any conclusions. The league hasn’t adjusted to Torres & Andujar yet, whereas they have for Moncada. Two years from now Moncada could be the stud and the other two could be just good players. I get you and many others have a need for instant gratification, but Moncada is going to require some time for him to work through his issues. If you can’t endure that growing process, do us all a favor and take some time off from White Sox baseball.

What a terrible post, but par for the course I guess.

Man this board has really taken a dive in quality since we entered the rebuild.

I’d be a little worried I were Todd Steverson right now. Moncada is a cornerstone to the rebuild and if this coaching staff can’t tap into his talent (which we’ve seen plenty of) I would fully expect changes and the hitting coach may be the easiest sacrificial lamb.

Lambert is criminally underrated around here. With the velocity increase and changes to his repertoire (thanks James Fegan) the kid is a brand new pitcher.

AA rotation right now is Hansen, Cease, Flores, Lambert, & Tomshaw with Clarkin, Puckett, & Dunning on the DL.

Getz said they want to see Guerrero out of the bullpen for a while although he might get a spot start here or there.
