Chicago White Sox

Great at-bat by Sheets despite the outcome

We should win most games in which we score six runs

Are you drunk or five years old?

The game or this thread?

Jesus Christ, this country is doomed if the feds can’t find people who can actually type a single coherent sentence.

I wish you’d say this shit to Kopech’s face and watch him rock your keyboard warrior b**** ass

This shit is fucking unreal

What the fuck?

Unless the acquisition of Kimbrel & Tepera changes things, they are converting Kopech to a legit reliever role this year.

He’s definitely a two times through the lineup guy now

To be fair he was awesome last year, but the dude’s K rate continues to drop every year and he’s now around 5.6 per 9. For reference, he was around 8.4 per 9 when he won the Cy Young. Unfortunately for us, it’s going to be hard for him to be much more than a solid #5 starter if that K rate continues to decline.

There’s zero chance of a grievance no matter what we do, just ensure that 2023 option doesn’t auto vest

Lol...better KW on that ASAP

And that’s a totally fair take, but one good offensive is meaningless. Seby is a legit horrible hitter and one good offensive game doesn’t change that.

Better manage those Keuchel innings closely next year

Meatball city

Honestly, I hope this team doesn’t get too lackadaisical with such a huge divisional. Got to keep the foot on the pedal until October.

Lol...this doesn’t change anything, Seby isn’t a major league catcher (Collins might not be either)

Lol...so true, but glad the kid gets his day in the sun

Lol

Sheets is the real deal

That literally has nothing to do with anything. Did they cut bait on Carson Fulmer when it was clear he couldn’t provide any value at the major league level? For the billionth time, Zack Collins actually has some major league ability as he’s putting up a 121 wRC+ against RHP. That would be highly valuable as a catcher if used in a strict platoon role and if he wasn’t the worst framer in baseball (among other defensive issues). Might as well give him some run and see if he can make any improvement before trading him or cutting bait.

Assuming travel days between home & road games, we should be able cover the 7th to 9th innings pretty much every night in October with three guys sporting xwOBA’s of 95, 98, & 100 respectively. That’s absolute insanity and gives us a competitive advantage over pretty much any other team in the playoffs.

I really don’t think they’re banking on two HS draft picks that profile as 3B to be the answer at 2B in two years.

Embarrassing...thank god the Indians helped us out there
