McCann our best hitter

Doesn’t it look like it’s even slower as he’s trying to elevate more?  Absolutely no explosiveness in his swing.

Agreed. Launch angle doesn't matter when your bat is in quicksand. I wonder what bat weight he uses.

I would much rather watch Adolfo or Rutherford out there....or platoon them.

It absolutely does

I will take 3-4 runs this game, no questions asked

Of course. I just meant you have every right to b**** about the offense. Doing this every night and then eventually scoring 2-4 runs against a bullpen isn't good for long term success

I believe so. Stone said their goal is for him to go 3 and the next guy to go 3.

 

No, but I live in Indiana and there are a lot of rural towns; Mishawaka just isn't close to being one

Well, I was still technically correct, and if I've learned anything from Stoney, it that technically correct is the best kind of correct.

Cron might have a broken tibia/fibula there.

is each team given one umpiring crew?

Don’t know but this is at least the third series the Sox have had this umpiring crew.

Everytime we hear preseason hype about a White Sox lineup......they suck!!

Great play by Norris

Norris risking his arm for a fuckin out lol

Hard hit ball right at someone again, this time in a weird way

That was a unique way to take a hit away from the Sox.

Sox luck all bad 

Meanwhile, a great hustle play by Daniel Norris to nab Mendick and prevent two runners from being on base.

Of couse, RISP, we might as well forget about driving in a run, anyway.

Only way we're going to score is homers.

 

Ankle?  Knee?    EXIT VELO 94 on Mendick's ball.

yes.

Isn't Norris the guy who used to live in a van/camper by the river?

this sox team is such a disappointment, my god.  year in year out. change the Jersey numbers and the approach is exactly the same

If we can't beat DET now, wait until they add Torkelson, Mize, Manning and Riley Greene.

We'll be getting caught from behind by the Tigers while the Twins/Indians are still holding out at the top.

Middle income/Thucydides Trap

It feels like if the Tigers score 1 that will be enough.

Only 9 big league pitchers have won 20 games or more since Keuchel's 2015 Cy Young season.   Crazy.

With how his legs look, he isn’t attempting more than 5 steals all season. 

He wasn't stealing even before the leg issues is what I'm saying.

Cron's ankle looked like it got stuck in the dirt when he turned

Leury, you could at least maybe....dive...there.   Oh, well.

For what seems like two straight weeks, I am tipping my cap to the opposing starter. 

Keuchel's in his own little zone out there, seemingly ignoring the rest of the White Sox foibles.
