Well, here we are the Sox the worst team in the AL in August (record wise) looking to sweep the team with the best record.

 

Things to look for regarding the young players:

 

Another solid, if not dominant, start from Rodon

 

Continued improvements from Moncada with making solid contact and developing his eye at the plate

 

Continued success from Delmonico and Tim Anderson at the plate. I believe Tim has hit safely in his last 7 games or so. Delmonico has reached safely in every game since being called up and is hitting a respectable .400 (8 games).

 

Game start 7:10 Central

Let's strive mightily to win the third game of the series as it's more fun to win then lose

I honestly don't see a way the white sox lose tonight.

I could see them losing if the Astros score more runs than they do, but really no other way.

 

/sorry

Yeah, let's the Asstros out of town.

lol...my Dad on the field right now hobnobbin' before the game with Bregman.

The guy he's talking with is a family friend he went with and Bregman's personal trainer in the off-season...

I text my Dad and told him to tell Bregman they're goin down like a fresh Krispy Kreme donut.

 

Rodon looks a million times better than he did last month.

Good lord that eye

The Domincan God of walks.

Does Moncada have a higher ceiling than anyone in baseball not named Mike Trout?

 

I think it's an easy yes, but curious if I'm missing anyone.

Eloy Jimenez.

In the book Moneyball, Lewis discusses then-prospect Youkilis in detail, and refers to him as "Euclis, the Greek God of Walks", a moniker that has stuck. ... But according to his dad, "Kevin disliked that Greek God of Walks stuff." Fans actually rooted for Youkilis to take pitches.

this guy Acuna on the Braves as well.

Rodon is locked in, wow that changeup. Should have been a strike but ump is not giving any low strikes.

I get the reference, but why the Dominican descriptor?

Only throwing his heater around 89-91 but his command is near perfect so far.

I'm too stoned, should have been cuban

Sick play from TA and the first brainfart for Moncada.

Eloy Jimenez.

No way. Jimenez may have more potential offensively, but he's limited on the defensive end. Moncada is a legit 5 tool talent with a plus batters eye.

Lol...well that explains it!

Ha Astros are melting down

Astros are pressing badly.

Glad to see Narvaez pick up Los, if he is going to cost him low strikes at least hes getting outs on the base paths.
