QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 04:20 PM) Explain to me why Chase field has one then? Monsoon season? 90 one night does not equal 105 regularly

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 04:16 PM) Yes. They should. Too damn hot. I get where you're coming from and I understand that you're hypersensitive to heat. But I really don't see any team closing their retractable roof if it's 90 and sunny.

Davidson 4th and Anderson 8th, huh?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 12:52 PM) For those who say he defers too much: he's a handicapped man who's never played baseball in his life most likely, calling a professional game with a former Cy Young winner. I'm *glad* he defers. Why should I give a s*** what Benetti thinks of a certain play, player, or situation? I haven't noticed this at much this season, but it is really annoying when the broadcasts become a glorified Q & A session with Stone. There's a difference between deferring and acting like this is the first time you've ever watched a baseball game.

Jose Abreu

Shields and Gonzalez are just placeholders for Kopech and Rodon, really. And if Fulmer doesn't do well, he'll turn into Stephens soon enough

Aside from that walk, rough game for Yoan

QUOTE (Quin @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 09:10 PM) Schwarber-esque right there. Schwarber would've tripped and fallen over much further from the ball

Not to mention Moncada is already one of the best defensive 2B in the game. A .750 OPS to go with that is a very valuable player- and that number will most likely go up throughout his career

Engel's throw on that... good lord that was bad

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:53 PM) both really. https://www.mlb.com/news/statcast-introduce...017/c-217802340 Thanks. And I see your point- if Engel is gonna be a complete liability offensively, he needs to make 4 star grabs.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:51 PM) And where did you get 100 extra OPS? Is he gonna hit 20 more home runs than I gave him? Remember, I was generous on his BABIP, so .740 is lucky. Not likely. I still don't know why you think he's gonna be a worse hitter than he was last year

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:48 PM) catch probability 41% on that engel drop so no, it really wasn't an extraordinary play. It wasn't routine. It was a play, as I said, that an "elite fielding", light hitting starting MLB CF needs to make more often than not. And credit Engel, he knows it, you could see it on his face. Does catch probability on a fly ball take into account shifts/where the fielder starts at, or is it purely based on batted ball stats?

A .740 OPS? He's gonna regress from last year, huh?

ANDERSON

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:57 PM) I really don’t like Davidson batting cleanup. I’m simply not a believer. Even if I were one, he profiles as more of a 6 hitter. Having him at 4 just kills rallies

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:42 PM) ah this year... Yeah, that's what I said. That 1-2 pitch from MiGo would've been a strike for Happ.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:40 PM) that's gotta be against RH. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...ar=2018&t=b

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:37 PM) Moncada still looks like he has no chance batting righty .286/.375/.429 as a RH this year entering today. Small sample size? Of course. Bigger sample size than yours? Yes.

Hope Nicky proves to the team that he can hit LHP, even though the numbers already show that

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:14 PM) Christ Happ is nailing the corners. But they're all out of the zone

Very wide strike zone tonight. Hope it goes both ways

RIP to Donaldson's yips

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 01:14 PM) He not only sucks but trading our best bullpen man (David Robertson) for him was nuts. Is there anybody in this bullpen as good as Robertson? Jones. And Kahnle had more trade value than Robertson due to the team control
