Rodon v Borucki  series decider lets go 

Edited July 29, 20187 yr by Bazox

I hate to say this, but Lourdes Gurriel looks way better as a hitter than Moncada. 

Rodon might want to pick velocity up. Throwing 90-91 right down the plate to hot hitting lineup 

Ugh a Hawk game. Go away.

Eloy homer

Rodon's looking extra sharp today.

So typical of this team that Narvaez gets a triple, but we can't get him home since the following batters were interested only in padding their statistics, not in doing the morally right thing and laying down a sacrifice bunt to get a run scored.

Just singled.

Thankfully Stoney calling out the absolute dog shit approach the hitters have.

Yolmer has an OPS below .500 vs LHP.  No way can he be pencilled in next year as a starter.

Does that check off a box?

Said it in the minor league thread, maybe he needs to stay on the field to check the final box.... I dunno. 

91 mph fastball for a homer, now he's throwing 95

Today might be Yoan's two best swings of the year vs LHP.  Awesome to see

I've been thinking that his ABs have been much more competitive against LHP as of late, even when he hasn't gotten the results.

bunting twice in a row in the 5th inning down 1-0...

Stop fucking bunting. 

It has been mathematically shown to decrease the likelihood of scoring. 

Thank you,

Chicago White Sox Fans. 

Also, anyone else annoyed with the umpire's motions after every pitch?  Can't tell if he's calling balls or strikes because he keeps swaying his left arm.

Ironically I hate bunting and thought it was a real good call given the score and who was up.

Good job Omar

I wasn't complaining about Engel, I was complaining about Sanchez giving himself up to move the guy over. I thought there was a high likelihood that the next two hitters would either pop up or strike out. I have no problem with Engel bunting because he is speedy and otherwise useless with the stick.

Yup.  Dude swings his arms and body around after pitches. It doesn't help that he's been missing strike calls consistently.

It's also because as I posted earlier, Yolmer is horrendous against LHP.

Nice throw from Omar

Any of you Chris Archer interested teams want a Carlos Rodon instead?
