So, something may have happened

Jack‏ @TheSoxGuy 16h16 hours ago The White Sox are 25-25 since August 6th. That is an extended stretch of solid baseball. That is a good thing.

 

Every 27 games this season:

 

15-12

9-18

12-15

5-22

13-14

12-12, with 3 left

Didn't realise the Sox were that bad in July. That's dead odd with the tigers this month.

It didn't happen exactly from Games 82 to 108, but they actually went 4-23 in that bad stretch.

Wow. Wouldn't have thought the Sox or any other team had been worse than the September Tigers.

Starting with the Q trade, this team just collapsed until they got their bearings back.

Joe McEwing to be interviewed by Tigers

Four of the largest rebuilding trades by the Sox ended up with the other team making the playoffs.

 

Eaton - WAS

 

Sale - BOS

 

Quintana - CHC

 

Frazier/Robertson/Kahnle - NYY

 

BONUS:

 

Clippard - HOU

Maybe they had a decent manager to work with the stars. Just a thought.

Yep. Has nothing to do with the fact that they are just better teams.

I read where there are 24 ex-White Sox in the playoffs this year. So there is room for s***ty players on playoff rosters.

Hopefully the Yankees are sending Rick a nice edible arrangement after last nights game.

Tim Anderson of the White Sox had an official At Bat in 97% of his plate appearances, highest in the majors. Bill James Handbook 2018.

Does this count if he is hurt since he is technically not in the playoffs?

I guess he shouldn't count but figured he was part of that 24. Colon and Thompson (I may be missing someone else here) shouldn't technically count either because they're not on the playoff rosters.

You did really well. They are counting guys who basically played for the teams.

 

Santiago, Boone Logan, even Ryan Rayburn.

I wonder if Tim's .257 batting average is one of the best all time of anybody with as many as 587 at bats and an official at bat in 97 percent of plate appearances. You draw 13 walks all season, it's very unlikely you are going to hit much higher than .257 just because of the laws of probability I'd think.

That sucks. I hope he stays with us. I know he wants to be a manager, and he definitely could (I loved the flare he brought on the field last year as a 3rd base coach), but I'd rather him stay here. This team needs good coaches so badly, and McEwing is a good one.
