Chicago White Sox

Batting a guy with a 4 wRC+ vs LHP in the two hole doesn’t help, but ultimately the players need to be better no doubt.

Nice work Yermin! Now it’s time for an old fashioned Yasmani walk and then an Andrew Vaughn dong!

Need a bomb from Jose, Yermin, Yasmani, or Vaughn.

We weren’t winning with zero runs anyways, but now we’re wasting pitches from Lynn and will need to go a rocky bullpen even earlier.

Oh look, the Cardinals trying manufacture a run late in scoreless game. I guess Tony was right about not being able to out-manage Shildt.

It is weird we never run, even when the offense is ice cold and filled with multiple slap hitters. We sure as shit are doing a poor job of trying to manufacturing runs in wake of hitting so few HRs.

Lynn ain’t eligible for a QO I believe, if they still exist in the next CBA

Alright base-runner on for the heart of the lineup, need one here badly

I’d wager large sums of money Rutherford or Sheets would out-produce the the 54 wRC+ we’re getting from Leury, although Hamilton is probably the beneficiary and he may not be able to top that.

Thank god Lynn is an absolute stud and doesn’t give a fuck if we plan to score runs or not

Oh look, more runners LOB for Leury

No I did not, which is definitely a bummer even if I don’t view him as the savior.

Not as much as tray

These Grandal walks are definitely more valuable with Vaughn behind him.

I read this as Nick Swisher and almost had a heart attack

I think when Engel comes back maybe you can roll the dice on one of those guys. I’d probably go with Sheets first, but both guys have great splits right now against RHP and both are on the 40 man roster. Give Eaton a couple weeks off and hope he can back a better player.

Well that’s unfortunate, cross Marte off the list then.

I’ve been calling this a slump for a while, but we also are giving too much playing time to non major league hitters in Leury & Hamilton and relying on a hobbled Eaton and developing Vaughn in the corners. Engel will help some no do doubt, but we desperately need an OF bat that can actually hit RHP.

Let’s score some fucking runs!

Lol...I’m not disagreeing with you by the way, just pointing out how bad Leury has been. At some point they should just call up one of the Charlotte outfielders, although I’m not sure they will cut bait on any of the veterans this earlier.

They have to add some type of bat full stop and they should try to do so sooner rather than later.

To be fair, he’s still considerably better than Leury even in his broken state.

Bad break there

Come on Yoan, save us here buddy

I’m watching with the sound off, but what’s wrong with Bader? Nothing looked that bad on the replay.
