[Eloy...yet again...]

Do you count the latest one day absence and the appendectomy this year against Eloy....or the injury celebrating a home run...or the injury and surgery because he  reached over the fence to catch a home run? Give the kid a break. Al major league players sustain injuries. Eloy has been switched to DH and it appears that he is in better physical condition now. We need his bat in the line-up or we don't have a chance, this year or next year. You don't deal away superstar players or those who have that upside because they are not easy to replace.

Guys regularly rob home runs and don't hurt themselves

Most guys don't hurt themselves celebrating home runs

What point are you trying to make?

I guess you have to watch the games to fully evaluate players rather than just immersing in stats.

Are you Eloy's dad? The guy is a buster. He's as unreliable as it gets

Yea get rid of Eloy...one of the most talented hitters on the team.  WTF kind of stupid is that?

He plays half of every season

You realize Strider's almost at 180 Ks already?

That's a Nolan Ryan or Randy Johnson number/pace.

You realize that some fans have high expectations for a former #3 overall pick on a 2-0 fastball after ~1300 career plate appearances?

[7/15- White Sox at Braves, 6:15, Fox]

On 2-0, Vaughn pops out to the first baseman 15 feet to the right of the catcher. Another bum

Half of SoxTalk would despise Acuna Jr. and his chain if he played for the Sox.

What a stupid thing to say

We would despise Acuna because he would either be injured all the time or shitty if the Sox developed him

[7/15- White Sox at Braves, 6:15, Fox]

Remember when Eloy, Robert and Moncada were all badass prospects like Acuna? Must be fucking nice

Hair and his personal life have no bearing on this. Regardless he just isn't any good.

Enough of this "lost valuable time with tommy john" s%*#. Kopech blows. This is who he is

No force at home.  He has to tag Sheets.  

I'm aware of how force outs work. From the time he bunted to the time he tagged Remillard, it was 1.5 seconds. Sheets would've been easily tagged out at home

Why no suicide squeeze??????????  Worst case scenario you have Elvis and Remillard on base.

If that was a suicide squeeze, it would've been a GIDP with how hard he bunted it at Goldschmidt

[7/9: Cards @ Sox: Matz vs. Giolito, 1:10 CT]

Great job by the shitty Cardinals wasting an out with that bunt

Benetti sounds like he's ready for a break from this ass team

[7/9: Cards @ Sox: Matz vs. Giolito, 1:10 CT]

Stone has said 4 times that Graveman doesn't have control inside today & he's still in there because the manager is a loser

[7/9: Cards @ Sox: Matz vs. Giolito, 1:10 CT]

Such a dumb team and even dumber organization

Looking forward to which college pitcher or hs/college 1B/DH they choose! It should be a true nail biter of an evening!

There will be no more real no hitters: One pitcher getting the job done. They shouldn't mob the relief pitcher who finishes a no hitter. That is stupid IMO. Analytics has pitchers' arms falling off after 103 pitches.

There will be no more? Forever? Want to bet?

He wants Manning to stay in to see if he could get it solo. 

And that's analytics? He wanted Manning to throw 140 pitches?

Now that's a 'bad team' loss. No runs at home in July against a lousy team. 15 under .500? One or two likeable players? Yeah it's probably the worst team the south side has had in a long long time.

Today's MLB LOL. ... Detroit pitched a no hitter today ... with 3 pitchers. Big deal. This sport is void of drama cause of analytics. Good job analysts, ruining a sport in so many ways.

What does analytics have to do with a combined no hitter?

This whole organization is so bad, especially if Hahn’s job is safe.  I feel bad for anyone drafted by them tomorrow.

James Fox is really pumping this draft up though! Between whatever sap they take at 15 & Noah Schultz, I can't wait until these guys make the bigs only to be failed by organizational ineptitude.

Katz fixed Cease amirite?!

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

Anyone want an oft injured, slow, unathletic, terrible defensive player who hits the ball on the ground too often offensively? His name is Eloy Jimenez and he could be available for trade in late July!

[Moncada]

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but

ahem

is this bum ever going to play again? What the f***. Grifol said like 3-4 weeks ago that he looks fine but Moncada says he isn't 100% still. What a crock of s%*#

"Kopech struggles with command in loss." What?! Wow there's a shock! Not sure which one is crazier, the loss or that Kopech still can't throw strikes!
