Davidson nice!

Great approach by Davidson. He looks so dangerous

Davidson!!

 

Awesome read by Avi

Luvvvv when they choke up

productive out from Omar.

Is Davidson this years Carlos Quientin?

Avi is turning into a 3 tool player...!

 

let's hope.

Well if Anderson can be a bust 1 inning into the 7th game, Avi must be an MVP candidate.

It is more the K% and lack of BBs. Also, I've been watching the games. Have you? Lots of swings and misses on stuff in the zone and out of the zone. Dude just seems lucky when he makes contact. Granted, it is very early but if the trends continue how can we argue that Anderson sucks? We have 3 years of evidence that Avi does, in fact, suck.

Davidson needs to start everyday at DH, at least while he's still raking

walked asche and hits Leury. Man I'd be pissed if I was a Tribe fan.

Not a fan of that call from Rick..

Yes, but I realize guys go through bad stretches.

Leury getting hit was huge, he is a career .138 hitter with runners on.

My gosh stop stealing

Yeesh that was a bad sequence

Not a fan of that play at all. Just let Saladino hit the damn ball and not steal Garcia

Gotta be aggresive

Fastball down the middle and Saladino take strike 3 and Leury gets hosed trying to steal.

 

At least get in a run down and give Davidson a chance to score

Gotta be aggresive

 

Have you seen them try to steal? This was going on in ST where they give away way too many outs on the bases

Yes, but I realize guys go through bad stretches.

This is different, because bad stretches involve bad luck. When a hitter strikes out 33% of ABs in with no walks, in a 7 game stretch, it is more than a "bad stretch" it is being bad at hitting a baseball. Sure, he has 4 hits but until Anderson starts hitting it hard with more consistency, and making more contact, I am going to assume that he sucks. Hasn't your argument been that prospects are suspects until proven otherwise? I'm taking that approach. Yes, I wanted the rebuild but I'm not afraid to call a spade a spade. The losing that the Sox have done since 2011 will make it that much sweeter when they are winning again.

I really don't understand the trying to steal with 1 out and man on 3rd...

 

I liked the safety squeeze.. the other part was really head scratching strategy to me.

His hard contact rate was significantly higher than most elite shortstops in baseball last year. Over a way bigger sample size. Check out fangraphs if you don't believe me.

 

Hitters go into funks. Did you ever play baseball? Ever have a bad game? Saying a small sample K rate doesn't fluctuate is among the dumbest things I've ever heard on this forum.

Safety squeeze is pretty dumb too considering who was on 3rd and Saladino has been hitting the ball well. I would have just let it be and let Tyler hit.

No they don't. Swings go awry, guys look awful. There isn't one player on the White Sox that won"t look horrible for at least a week this year. Prospects are suspects, but labeling after not even 7 games is ridiculous. Most young guys struggle a lot at some point.

Tyler is a solid MLB regular imo.
