They can lose Pineda, one of their best SP, for the game in the first inning and further destroy their already terrible bullpen. I think Yermin takes one in the back at some point in this game, but I would be surprised they went after TA or frankly anyone early in the game.
-
A .132/.387/.316 is something else. A 30% walk rate. 33 BB / 27 K ratio. I wish he was hitting his career average, but what he is doing right now with the walks is incredible.

They stuck Vaughn in RF for two innings yesterday. The product of a 16-4 laugher, or a showing of the hand that he may eventually be used there in the future? Half joking, but that very well may be his spot in 2022.

Glad you enjoyed the game!!!! I was there too and if was awfully fun!!

5/17 White Sox (Keuchel) v. Twins (Happ) Thread
ChiSox59 replied to bmags's topic in 2021 Season in Review
I will be there tonight (and tomorrow) cheering on the boys! Lets get a dub! Sad to see Jose will miss the series. Twins have a career infielder playing center tonight tho cuz Kepler got hurt yesterday too. They're just as banged up as we are. Let's find a way to get a W tonight! -
Abreu to Miss Twins Series - Ankle Inflammation
ChiSox59 replied to DirtySox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Well that sucks. At least the Twins are equally as banged up. 2/3 would be nice. Let's start with the W tonight. -
Why tho? I too think Madrigal needs to hit for some XBH rather than just being a pure singles hitter, but picking some arbitrary number as the cut off seems silly. He is currently on pace for around 35 XBH, and I don't think we've seen the best of him by any means. The doubles and triples and perhaps occasional homer will come. Not directed at you really - but people are trying to jam a square peg into a round hole around here with Madrigal. He is a unique player. He just needs to be really good at what he does well. This lineup has plenty of power - I still feel like he's a fantastic fit for a this team (when its fully healthy especially), and will be for years to come. We don't need our 9 hitter to hit 20 homers. That said, Madrigal has been pretty bad offensively lately so hopefully he snaps out of it soon.

Where Madrigal was drafted is completely irrelevant at this juncture. Madrigal isn't a power hitter. When this lineup is healthy, it is oozing with power and the last thing they need Nick to do is provide power. They need him to play good defense, hit .300+ and not strike out. Madrigal is struggling a bit the last two weeks, but he is going to be fine. He just needs to become the best version of Madrigal, not some power hitting 2B or whatever mold fans think they need to get with the #4 overall pick.

I mean if there’s ever a day to DFA Lamb, it’s tomorrow. Just not sure who would take his spot.

Can Rutherford fake it in CF or nah?
-
Yeah, I mean options are there to protect the player. But I hear ya.
-
He doesn't have options, so it would be a DFA. I think they'll give him a bit more time before they send him packing.

5/11/21 -Crochet's First ML Win - White Sox 9 Minnesota 3
ChiSox59 replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I think by rule we now need to post dog pics in every gameday thread until the Sox lose. -
Would be nice to get him in games. Annoying this visa issue is still lingering.

So much drama on here some days.

Addressing the OF shortage (Robert Injury Spinoff)
ChiSox59 replied to Texsox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Wouldn't Hamilton's utility come with taking over for Vaughn in LF late in games, which Tony is obsessed with doing even though Vaughn has been better than fine out there. I suppose Leury could do that too. Obviously Engel is starting in CF In this hypothetical. I don't mind Hamilton as the last man on this roster as long as he isn't overused - that is, strictly used in pinch running and late inning defense. I was cool with the Lamb signing - always been a fan of his. But he really has no purpose on this roster at this point other than Moncada's injury replacement. -
Addressing the OF shortage (Robert Injury Spinoff)
ChiSox59 replied to Texsox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Yeah, I guess. I am personally not in love with Gallo by any means, but he's probably the best fit. I would hate a Crochet for Gallo deal. I also would really prefer not to deal Kelley or Cespedes. If you could get him for something headlined by Thompson/Dalquist, with secondary pieces like Adolfo/Rutherford/Gonzalez and Ramos/Bailey/Rodriguez/Gladney, sure I'd do it. But I don't see that happening. One thing I do know - Gallo would quickly join Yaz as the Soxtalk whipping boys. -

Unless you're moving Eaton to CF, all Bryant does is put Yermin or Vaughn on the bench. Obviously he's a great hitter that you make space in the linup for, but if you gotta give up Crochet for 3 months of him while not really solving the problem...I'll pass. If they're gonna add someone, it needs to be someone who can play CF passably.
