Chicago White Sox

After tonight just fire the entire coaching staff.

Please don’t challenge.

Either Hahn doesn’t pay close attention to the actual games or he hasn’t read any of the numerous research on the value (or lack thereof) of bunting. It’s just crazy in this day in age that our manager operates like it’s the 1980’s.

He is just so fucking bad.

Hahn must not watch these games, because I cannot comprehend how he allows Ricky to be such an idiot day after day.

Fire this fucking clown!

I can appreciate that line of thinking fathom, just don’t see how anything that just happened that inning should trigger that response. Kid looked really fucking good.

Yup, kid is legit.

Bummer is an absolute stud and hopefully a huge part of this rebuild.

Lol...one unlucky inning is all it look for this overreaction.

I don’t disagree. I do personally like Walker’s tools better though and I feel like he’s a guy who could really benefit from the juiced ball.

Fair take. Walker may be no different in the end and AA will be the real test no doubt.

I go out of my way to “drag him through” because there is a misconception around here that he’s been a radically better player as the season progressed when it takes about five minutes looking at his stats to quickly deem that wrong. I’ve said multiple times I’m not writing him off as he’s young and AA is tough like you said, but the kid has had a really bad season and he’s probably a 40 FV type prospect at this point.

Rutherford’s problem isn’t his lack of power, it’s his shitty K & BB rates which his home park has no impact on. You really seem to take any criticism of him personally.

So fucking true. At some point in the future those slumps won’t end, but right now it’s impossible to declare that.

Sounds we need to get you a tinfoil hat.

I mostly agree with your post, although I really don’t agree with the Ryan Sweeney comp. Ryan struck out like 11% of the time in AA (vs Blake’s 26%) and drew more walks. I also think Blake has much more raw power than Sweeney ever did, the problem is it doesn’t really translate to games.

Adolfo played half a season in 2018 and at least got 20 games at AA this year, that’s exponentially more playing time than Burger. Also, like I said he’ll be playing in the Arizona Fall League to help make up for lost time. And yes, we're getting an additional option for him. Writing off a guy who will be 23 years old at the AA is pretty nuts IMO.

I smell a hot streak coming Jose’s way now!! Thanks Ron!!

Adolfo had a recurring issue with his elbow that’s finally been corrected. He’s going to play OF in the Arizona Fall League to help make up for lost time. For now he’s behind Walker, but even with the injury uncertainty he’s well above Gonzalez & Rutherford IMO. Micker’s upside is crazy good if the arm returns to form. Also, I have no idea why Blake has so many supporters around here, because his numbers are bad this year and he’s shown little to know signs of improvement as the season has progressed (outside of his BABIP). Yes he’s young and there’s hope for him, but he’s done nothing to warrant the praise he gets around here.

Honestly if Collins made some adjustments, then I’m fine with him getting everyday at-bats in Charlotte for a few weeks.

What’s crazy is there’s plenty to rip them for them without actually having to make shit up. Just crazy how things have gotten around here.

Basabe > Walker > Adolfo > Gonzalez > Rutherford

Like where do you guys come up with these conspiracies?

Lol...you actually think Kenny Williams got fired?
