Seriously, give the man an OF glove at this point. We've all seen enough Palka (6-spot lol).

PALKA ALERT

It's not hard Ricky. You saw what Anderson and Moncada did as a 1-2 under McEwing. You had the same 2 guys right but Moncada leading off which he has publicly said he doesn't like doing... is bad. 

Jesus, Soler kills us.

Sadly i think Sanchez keeps the job through all of next year.  The White Sox more than any other team in sports will stick with a lesser player because the chemistry he brings to the team/clubhouse is unparalleled in sport.

Ricky can't go quick enough but I am sure he will be on the field in the Chevy drive up next spring.

He's too expensive, but the White Sox spending a couple million extra on their bench is not the worst thing  in the world when their payroll is so low. The money they didn't spend in the international market this year has to go somewhere, amiright? 

He should not keep the starting 2b job though.

Palka is so bad that if he makes an out his next AB, he’ll still be .018

How does a guy hitting eighteen bat 6th in a major league line up? He'll probably homer his next 3 ABs, but eighteen is his batting average. 

Giolito velocity way down today. Hope they don’t push him too much rest of the way

Collins has got to swing the bat. He’s just ridiculously too patient.

I wonder how many players in major league history did have a batting average of .018 at any time during the season. I

Agreed, but he doesn’t help himself by swinging at 1 or 2 pitches every at bat.

Lucas just got away with one to Soler

The same reason Jon Jay batted 4th.  Our manager listens to his gut and not logic.

My opinion is you don’t go into next year with him as someone you’re relying on.

Playing Yolmer instead of Mendick is just insane right now. Such a self-debilitating organization.

Great inning for Giolito

He just hit 97 mph in the 3rd inning.

Its almost like he is daring the organization to fire him.

He will probably sit Anderson for Mendick instead of sitting Yolmer.

You know he will be back, and so will Yolmer

There is literally no one in baseball history outside of pitchers who have had >50 at bats and been this bad. The worst in history is apparently a pitcher, Doug Davis, who was 1 for 64. He's got to get down to 0.16 to beat that.
