typical feast or famine sox offense.  when moncada struggles it really affects the whole offense imo

They all are trying to hit home runs. It is what it is. Modern baseball. In the ninth, the elevation in the swings was hilarious. That's OK. We'll hit a ton of home runs and win as many as we lose this year (maybe do better than that if we keep piecing together nice pitching), but it'd be nice to get Timmy back. He'll hit some doubles and singles; Madrigal too.

This is the most agreeable Greg post in the history of Soxtalk. I’m smitten.

Agreeable, and reasonable, even.

White Sox one game "slumped" them all the way down to 10th MLB in Runs Scored, 5th in the AL.

Pleasantly surprised by Leury's play at short. He makes all the plays and doesn't have the tendency to bounce routine throws like Tim does.

 

Keuchel really was a much needed signing. He won't be that good all season but he will throw strikes, go deep in games, rest the pen and gives the offense a chance to win the game.

He probably is more a 3.5 to 4 era guy but if he gives you 7 innings and 3 runs that should give the offense a chance.

2.9 - 3.75 last three seasons.

2016 was a big disappointment, but the two prior years were really excellent as well.

He's a reasonable facsimile of Mark Buehrle in 2011 around the time he left Chicago for the Marlins with Ozzie.
