Tony - "You really threw my guy out for arguing with those bad strike calls?" Umpire - "He also broke an unwritten rule." Tony - "Say no more. Thank you for your service."

He just has no use for the team anymore. Engel, Lamb, and Hamilton are all better than him and can play RF. I wouldn't mind an Engel/Lamb platoon there.

Since you would most definitely do this to another person if they made this mistake: Felix Paulino**

Many here owe TLR an apology over that signing. Everybody said signing Lamb was TLR's doing and that Lamb was trash.

Call me crazy, but I'm more worried about the upcoming games against the Rays and Astros, especially since those teams aren't garbage

That's good to hear. I always remember him having pretty underwhelming stuff. I don't want to get too excited since he is pitching in a notorious pitchers park, but some additional depth from the left side is always good.

Pilkington with 4 SOs in 3 perfect innings so far. He's having a nice year so far. @bmags or any other people who follow the minors closely, any reports of his stuff or velocity this year?

Isn't Sheets pretty bad in the OF? Not sure we see him unless there is an injury or if Yermin continues to nosedive.

Does your buddy post on this forum??

"We've put together this chart identifying high risk, medium risk and low risk positions as it relates to your hip flexor injury"

Due to my line of work, I initially read "POTW" as Publically Owned Treatment Works, aka a sewage treatment plant

The highest chance of precipitation is 15% at Midway during game time. Am I missing something? Looks fine unless that is way off.

I clearly wrote in the original post that the ratings are based on a singal season. I never said to compare that to his career Clutch. Many people here have questioned Jose's ability to perform in high leverage situations. It's "not predictive" according to you, but this sure as hell confirms what some of us have been saying. Tbh, what worries me more than this stat is if the weather is too cold in the playoffs. Jose is a notorious warm weather hitter.

Maybe it's purely coincidence, but Yermin has been slumping since the homerun incident. Maybe the manager publically calling out his playstyle and putting him in the spotlight for a week wasn't the best idea.

He needs to make some adjustments, and quick. Great bat control, but he can't lay off anything lately.

People would rather use their gut than statistics when it comes to the golden boy

https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jose-abreu/15676/stats#win-probability Per Fangraphs clutch stat, Jose is -2.11 over his career. The stat measures how good a player is in high leverage situations. See below for more on the stat. https://library.fangraphs.com/misc/clutch/ Over an entire season, -2.0 would be "Awful", while +2.0 would be "Great". I've always said it, but Jose crumbles under pressure and in the cold. Is anybody else concerned about him in the playoffs when it will certainly be colder?

What happens to Jose in October when it gets cold again??

Ump wouldn't have called that a strike

I love the white Sox post-game show

Have to seen Hendriks on the mound? We have no room to talk.

Jose is going to crumble in the playoffs. The weather will be colder and the pressure will be on.

He's so incredibly unclutch. Just crumbles under pressure. ZERO reason to swing there.

Jesus... He couldn't throw a strike.
