They certainly make it difficult to be a positive fan, that is for sure. The pain is real.

Correct.

Jake Burger is an awful defender. Its pretty obvious to anyone that pay one iota of attention. Its like asking if the sky is blue.

Yeah, pretty brutal. A Hanser misplay caused by a Moncada ouchie resulted in this. Hanser actually messed up twice on the play - first by not just throwing it to 2B for the tailor made DP, but then by cutting off Elvis throw for some stupid reason. It really was a pretty simple play - he does either of those two things right and TA isn't hurt. Definitely adds to the sting for me.

Do you actually watch the games?

Eloy is probably back on Friday. If not, early next week. He took BP yesterday and is running.

I will be in attendance. Go Sox!

Now that we know he hasn't suffered a serious knee injury, can we delete this thread?

What players do they have significant $ locked into that are “bad”? Yoan is the only one you could make an argument for, and he isn’t “bad”. And it’s also over after 2024.

I think this injury underscores how important Elvis is, not visa versa.

Well considering there is no such thing as the 15 day IL, I wouldn’t hold that guys reporting in high regard. Just piggybacking off others I’m sure. But with Fegan reporting Sosa’s arrival, it’s pretty obvious TA is headed to the IL. What a gut punch. ?Theoretically possible it’s Yoan I guess, but sure doesn’t feel that way.

This x a million. Elvis hasn’t been great, but it’s $3M and all the other options are still here and remain options. Romy and Sosa and JRod haven’t gone anywhere. Elvis will need to start hitting or he’s going to lose PT. But even if he doesn’t, he still has value on this team as a bench piece for the pittance he’s getting paid.

Well, Robert is playing like a superstar, so that's a pretty big difference from last years club.

Literally every team has guys hurt. Look at Twins. Kepler IL, Kiriloff IL, Polanco IL, Correa hurt back, Gallo hurt hammy. Buxton isn't going to play the OF until mid May at the earliest. Its just baseball. Guys get dinged up. But I know that won't stop you from thinking this is something unique to the White Sox.

Nice win. Wasn’t pretty tho. Here’s to hoping TA is OK, and we see him in the lineup tomorrow along with Moncada at 3B and AV at 1B.

Both those called strikes to Elvis were no where near the zone. Awful

Its literally like 7% of their payroll

Not serious at all.

Benintendi might be boring, and it hasn't been a great start in very SSS, but the deal is fine. $15M AAV isnt exactly superstar money 2023-2027, he adds lineup balance, OBP and is a solid OF. He solves alot of problems. But he isn't some star and Sox fans need to realize that.

Hanser's play that hurt Tim led to a run but wasn't an error. 3 errors, but 4 costly misplays.

Ehhh, I am sure he's fine. He played another half inning after it, no?

Nice inning from Graveman

Really, really tough day for Hanser if TA is hurt. His mistake directly led to that.

Yes, plenty of posters here have said Gavin is a better 1B than AV.

Lol Sheets....where are the folks that said he was good at 1B?
