maxjusttyped Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Shades of 2020 Nicky Delmonico in the cleanup spot with Moncada right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the team is right now. I feel like we sold our souls for 05. I'm overreacting. Just tired of the same shit over and over . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I'm just trying to be positive. At least it's better than like literally swinging through EVERYTHING. Pretty soon I'm also going to start blaming all of my personal shortcomings on COVID. COVID has truly been a Disastre Personal. Edited April 5, 2021 by YourWhatHurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not covid, maybe this is just what he is. He has all of the tools to be elite. It's very clear covid affected him last season. He was the biggest exit velocity decliner in baseball. Maybe 2019 was an outlier, but I have zero doubt he is a better player than what we saw last season. It's impossible for him not to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 So the top of the 8th will be Mercedes, Grandal, & Robert...basically need one them to hit a bomb or our fate will come down to the slap brigade in the 9th against Iglesias.

caulfield12 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 1 minute ago, JoeyCoralFanClub said: It was supposed to be on paper. If you take away those inflated numbers against the Royals and Tigers, how good was our offense, really? You can say the same thing for the Twins over the last 2-3 seasons, putting up all those homers and fizzling in the postseason. Yesterday, Bummer was held back to save the game...instead of being used, now he's going to be used in the 7th of a game we're trailing? They're being that selective about using Michael Kopech? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
