I'm starting to cool on Collins. I know it's hard to get into a rhythm when you rarely play and I know he has a great eye, but he was late on 90 right down the plate. His swing is sooo long. He seems like a great kid and I hope he figures it out, but he can be difficult to watch

That hitch when he preloads is always going to make it hard for him to catch up to fastballs.

Gotta think the reps Leury got as a starter the past few years will make him even that much better as our super sub.

now he's mixing in a cutter, you can only make this shit up.

The movement on this guy's stuff is insane. I'm super impressed so far.

Robert’s metrics were much stronger actually.  

Yeah he just hit it to the wrong part of the park. 

man the sox have made some amazing contract decisions getting leury for peanuts next year is only leverage to sign a new deal or trade him at an ATH for pitching.

Wow Gio just refuses to throw Yelich strikes.

Leury next year $250K buyout, $3.5 million club option.

 

We were going to be pretty happy if Madrigal hit 3-5 homers in a season.   Leury already at 3 in 12+ games.

Pretty darned likely at this rate to be picked up, and a bargain to boot.

According to sport trac hes a UFA

lol it ain't a Gio Gonzalez inning if there's less than 2 runners on.

The Chicago White Sox signed Leury Garcia to a one-year, $3.5MM guaranteed deal today, per MLB.com’s Scott Merkin. The deal includes a $3.25MM base salary for 2020 with a $3.5MM team option for 2021. The White Sox can decline next year’s option with a $250K buyout. Garcia’s deal takes the place of the one he signed in January to avoid arbitration, giving the team the option of a second season. Garcia is a client of Rep 1 Baseball.

 

Get Sportrac on the HORN, get that one corrected, STAT.

wow what a throw!

Even if Yasmani happened to get him, you go to third there.

damn what a slide he's safe.

Gio has absolutely nothing out there

ALMOST had him at the plate, but allowed two runners to advance into scoring position and lost the possibility of a DP.

It's gonna be tough to overturn that.

That throw was incredible

He's pathetic

Missed him.   And Yelich got the plate anyway.

Reminiscent of Chris Taylor throw to end the game last night in SD.

Swipe beat hand on plate.  Did swipe make contact?
