That take on 2-2 is why there is still hope for Moncada. Just unreal ability to lay off close pitches outside the zone.

I'd settle for not horrible in the OF.

I'd prefer the walks. Put him at DH, there's enough outfielders in this organization on the way up.

ANd you could say that 3-2 pitch that he fouled off right down the middle is the opposite and the one he looked at for strike 3 also down the middle upper part of the zone.

Moncada takes a third strike AGAIN !

Still Minaya

I guess he's probably set a record for taken called 3rd strikes in the history of baseball?

Last time they published the numbers, it was either Judge or Stanton that was like 15 behind him...

Hang on boys things are getting real

He has a ton more value if can play a real position.

Is it really a good eye if he just doesn't swing at anything close?  He's an infuriating player to watch.

Real in the sense that half the remaining Sox fans are cheering for a draft position loss?

Thought we might see Frare for Alonso and to turn around Melky.

If I'm doing the quick adding right...excluding pitchers, since 2010 the positions the White Sox have spent the most money on are: 1, 1b and 2., DH.

Which we've heard for years are the two easiest "Moneyball" positions to fill.

Of course, the reasons here are Dunn, Konerko/Abreu and LaRoche, for the most part.

That's terrible. 

I want to believe Frere dropped that on purpose. But that still doesnt explain everything else that just happened.

LOL good try by Frare but once he touched  ump says no no no

 

Both teams trying their best to lose this one...

That was almost the worst, best play ever 

Great basees loaded 1 out

 

Well that was a tank special. 

Nice collapse....What a meatball by Hamilton

oh well it's not like we didn't expect this to happen with all that talent in the pen.

Welcome to the bigs Hamilton. Tough loss. Covey deserved that W.

You could see that choke coming a mile away

You heard the man, shut down the rebuild.  The pen coughed up a game.
