People forget his defense was awful before it also

There ya go tim

I know you all think I hate Abreu, but it is sad seeing him unable to catch up to 91 mph gas anymore. He was a fun hitter in his prime.

Not being able to catch up to fastball and no plate discipline, worse then it's ever been

Completely agree. 

Lopez's turnaround has been one of a very few silver linings of an otherwise brutally frustrating 2nd half of the year.

With you here Ron. It took a while for most of us to come around, but he's done. We know your Abreu threads up until this season were a schtick. 

We're all not friends here unless we bust each other's balls.

How do we organize a bunting intervention for Ricky?

How about starting Buntaholics Anonymous.  "Hi, my name is Ricky and I'm a buntaholic.  I just can't help myself anymore.  I constantly call for bunt, bunt, bunt.  Under any and all circumstances.  Please help me."

Every metric disagrees with you, but you do you ?

Then 19 errors in 79 games played is considered good fielding?

Nice strawman, I said he was below average, just not awful.

Hector Santiago. Next.

We don’t think you hate him. We know you hate him.

People on here ask you all the time why you hate him.

They ask like did he kick your dog? Did he insult your mother? 

It’s now officially reached the creepy level.

And why do you other guys agree with him when you all know the source?

Can you calculate his WAR using that new formula you came up with? His vWAR is probably around 25, especially when you factor in his all-star appearance this year. That would surely change my opinion of him.

Great post vile. I love Abreu and am chanting "2 more years; two more  years" right now with a team option for year three! Love me some Jose!

So tell me Ron, who on the team is a fun hitter right now? What White Sox hitters does Ron give his seal of approval to? Name them now. I'm thinking there are uh, none.

McCann is not a fun hitter these days. He had a .173 July and August so far has been worse. 

Clicked on the last few pages of this thread and i thought I must have an old game thread open.  I’m confused why it’s so negative. They scored 10 runs and Lopez looked decent.
