Chicago White Sox

Wasn’t his wRC+ like 115 this year? Seems like that’s more than starter caliber once his defense & base-running normalize to expectations.

No they don’t, but you owe the MVP a massive apology for all the shit you’ve thrown his way

Fuck Ricky Renteria and honestly fuck Hahn & KW for not telling him what to do. I’m sure Parrot will hit a HR today given all the hate, but our process is completely broken with EE as our DH today.

It’s amazing how bad this lineup is against RHP when Eloy is hurt. I can’t believe we’re still rocking Edwin at DH. Hahn should be completely embarrassed that we’re starting a 37 year old who put up a 71 wRC+ as our designated hitter. Fuck, I’d rather give the start to Collins in all honesty as he’d at least add some balance.

I think Jimmy previously mentioned the Marlins & Mets as other teams with the necessary slot to sign one of these guys.

If anything the delayed signing period hurts us, as it makes it less likely one of these guys waits out another year. It’s almost certainly going to be one or the other.

I would say so. A big chunk of our slot is already accounted for and there are several teams with space left I believe.

I also would go with Mazara over Leury if Eloy is unavailable. SSS, but he had a 97 wRC+ in his last nine games and nothing was overly flukely.

We don’t have the slot left to sign both, but my guess is either guy would sign with us all else being equal so hopefully we have our choice of which guy to go with.

Huge win!! Now just need Dallas to end this shit!

Nothing, he’s more than earned the closer role

Three outs away!!

I haven’t really been that nervous today, but I’ll admit the thought of a Colome 9th inning with a three run lead does terrify a bit. And yes, I know he’s been awesome this year, but that doesn’t make watching him any less stressful.

Ricky should just let Bummer close this one out, but he’ll no doubt go to Colome

First Ricky “getting cute” moment of the Series and now we have to bring a reliever into a high leverage situation.

Pull him!!!!

Pull him!!

Who are you talking about? Giolito?

That’s fine if he can’t play the field (which sounds like is the case), but I really don’t want to see EE in the lineup anymore.

Oh same here, would be amazing

Grandal will be catching him

Agree, but I’ll take my chances of him heating than EE at this point

Three K’s for McCann

McCann needs a hit here or risks Ricky giving the DH job back to Parrot

He’s lucky we’re playing a man down and giving him an active roster spot.
