They've gotten themselves a bit more back into this race. 4.5 out with 10 games against the 2 teams in front of them in the next 2 weeks. It's put up or shut up time.
Yup, too bad that baltimore coughed up the lead twice, they really outplayed minnesota and should have swept them tbh

It's not RISP alone that's the issue. It's a team wide problem with getting guys in from 3rd and less than 2 outs. Their approach in these situations suck. They end up hitting a lot of grounders right into the drawn in infield.
They are hitting too many ground balls in general, not really a situational thing

it sounds crazy, but it would be great if we can hit a home run more than once a week

The White Sox have always emphasized being aggressive. And aggressive in their mind means hacking away at borderline pitches. That’s why they constantly rank among the league’s worst in O-swing%e despite bringing in countless new players from different organizations.
They also always preach going the other way which is a fool‘s errand in the modern game.
The players witht the best offensive numbers are patient hitters who pull the ball when it‘s in a hittable location.
These two approaches combined are the reason the Sox do not hit home runs at an acceptable rate and will struggle to consistently score runs

I still remember Carlos Lee hitting a HR in his first major league at-bat. Would be awesome for Sosa to do the same.

You are thinking of only the Sox farm system.
have a look at the catcher position around the league, it’s not great.

Who else can he hit there? Adam Haseley? The roster just sucks right now.
Haseley or Reese while not great by any stretch have a better shot at a positive outcome

When did he ever hit when it didn't count.
I've always wondered if he would make it in any other teams farm system.
he is a catcher with, presumably, a pulse. So yes

good news: tying run at the plate
bad news: it‘s seby zavala with leury,on deck

dumbass mullins playing deeper than a real centerfielder would
Can’t wait until they ban this shit, a centerfielder has to play three steps behind second base.

3-0 feels like 8-0 with how non-threatening the Sox have looked

There's very little that Leury does well that can't be done with someone that doesn't cost $5 million, such as successfully make it to the ballpark every day
long term deals for fringe utility players is the new market ineffiency,

More shade thrown by Stone

So there's this annoying fucker in an Orioles hat that comes down the aisle at the end of the inning with his glove looking for a ball from the 1B....I wouldn't care but he got the ball in the 1st inning and keeps coming back.
nothing fires up a team like a good fight 😆

tim just missed it

Cueto has been wearing it in terms of lack of run support, another good outing for him

Doesn't believe Harrison can get the job done. With Anderson next the send would be ludicrous.
it is ludicrous no matter who’s hitting next. Even if cueto had to bat next you don’t send him, hays had the ball before sheets reached third
