Chicago White Sox

Three straight fucking Ks

Leadoff batter gets on, K K fuck

He was technically a below league average hitter against RHP last year (99 wRC+) and still bats 3rd every day. He’ll have to really fall off for a change to happen unfortunately.

Renteria is way too old school to ever rock a lineup like that unfortunately.

Guys - It’s totally ok to hate each other, but can you please stop with the nonstop bickering?

100% agree, but do we even have another OF? Never mind, forgot he was at 2B.

Nice work Robert! Luckily we got big bad Leury to keep the chain going!!

Lol Nicky

I stand corrected!

Don’t think he’s referring to you.

It’s definitely the White Sox way!!

We needEd a high OBP, left-handed bat and desperately needed to improve our framing. Grandal was the best way to fill all those needs in one spot. And McCann was good last year, but also was non-tendered by the Tigers two years ago and is only cheap this year.

That umpire should be fired on the spot for that last call.

Didn’t he have the yips at the time? Look, if you want to say he’s overrated in terms of WAR because of his game calling or blocking or some other element of his defense, then so be it. But the dude is one of the best framers in the game and one of the best offensive catchers and most certainly not a DH or bad catcher like Jack is saying.

Yes I fucking do. It also happens that the one game you’re referring was started by a veteran, pitchability guy rather than young hurlers. I’m as frustrated as anyone by the start of the season for this pitching staff, but there are zero conclusions to be gained 3 1/2 games into the season.

He’s being sarcastic.

It’s three fucking games with a brand new staff.

Is he playing tonight?

I was 100% being sarcastic and if you actually think Grandal is a DH then you completely lack baseball acumen.

If we couldn’t afford Brock fucking Holt or Cameron fucking Maybin, then Reinsdorf should not own a Major League Baseball franchise.

We also needed a left-handed bat OBP, Grandal was literally the perfect addition.

And guess how you help your starting pitching that was hurt by poor framing probably moreso than any team in baseball last year? By adding an elite framer...

But what’s his CERA after three games and a short pre-season? Clearly Grandal’s game calling is the reason everyone sucks but Keuchel.

Unfortunately we added no OF depth this offseason.

Not getting a run there is killer.
