f*** off Shark...just f*** off

Does Shark actually want to get paid this winter?

Well that was a good pitch on a 2-2 count

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:59 PM) That is interesting, indeed. Identical wRC+. More pop for Avi, more on-base for Soler. Strangest part is that Soler's plate discipline looks great, while Avi's look embarrassingly bad (from the Pitch FX numbers). Seems like Soler should be making a lot more contact, but he's actually striking out more than Avi. I wonder if he's got the Marcus Semien problem where he can't handle two-strike counts well. Hm...I would guess that you may be onto something there.

Alexei making some nice plays

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) Luckily we play in the AL that has a DH. Thompson continues to show strides the rest of the year and the off-season you could see him in RF and Avi DHing I mean that would be ideal. Even if Thompson doesnt end up grabbing that position(maybe a free agent)

Really it's his defense that is really punishing Garcia and the team right now. They'll have to figure that one out at some point.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) Did we get a he found it call there from Hawk? I missed that game and when I listened to the clip on MLB.com I was cracking up for a while. Sounded like Hawk was asleep there for a bit.

Avi made up for it!

Abreu looks good in 9

What the hell Tyler

Anyone got the White Sox broadcast? I forgot that the Cubs guys give me a headache

Atleast only 1 run surrendered...so there's the bright side

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) I can think of at least 3-4 runs Avi had literally been responsible for with his terrible defense over the past 3 weeks He more than makes up for it offensively though...somewhere

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:18 PM) Guys, please stop bagging on Avi. He's young and he more than makes up for his atrocious defense with his bat. 1.0 Offensive War and -1.7 defensive WAR

How the hell is that pitch a strike now?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 11, 2015 -> 07:24 PM) Striking out both Trout and Pujols is pretty impressive For sure...having 2 on with no out and doing that. Very impressive.

Glad Nate Jones back

I like Avi's swing a little more the past few days. Seems to be a little shorter.

I put embarrassed

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 6, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) It was a mistake, but it didn't cost the White Sox any trophies. Finding a really good catcher who can hit and play defense is a trick GMs pretty much luck into. I dont think asking a catcher to be good at one of the traits you stated above should be a problem. But right now he's been below average in both departments.

Might be worth the claim just for the hell of it

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 6, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) As soon as Soto started playing more, his numbers would decline. Flowers used to be that guy. People couldn't wait for AJ to leave. I was not one of those people at all. Heck even at his age AJ is having a very nice year for Atlanta. I imagine he's not gonna play much longer. But so far that decision was a mistake and it's still ongoing.

His defense hasnt been good. He's hitting has been awful to say the least. His pitch framing doesnt count into WAR which shows he isnt average. He's just bad. But we cant do anything about it until December. I mean Soto could get more starts or more time batting at DH. But that would be too logical for this coaching staff.

Mike Napoli hit waivers today or yesterday just fyi. May have already cleared.
