he's been much better than his numbers would indicate so far; i'm not real worried about him. his xwOBA is .345. (closer to .350 after today) and his xwOBA in 2019 was .356. His K-rate is a little high but that has been elevated by the one game honestly.

Meanwhile this team is still historically bad with RISP to start the season. That'll probably normalize but it's embarrassing as of now. Need a little TA7 jolt!

A TA infusion is needed badly.

Love how Yoan is handling 3B too....I agree that he will be fine.

Oh boy, Bummer time. Hold on to your butts.

RISP, its K or groundout.  This team reminds me of the 2004 White Sox offense.  Clutch.  

It's the outcome I expected every time now. Seriously 

Are La Russa’s eyes closed or just blood shot?  Can’t tell with that mask on.

They just have to hit one flyball to the outfield to score a run. That’s it! Is that too hard to ask for?

if he's stoned or drunk, maybe he'll make some better gut decisions than sober tony! Maybe he's an enhancement smoker!

Bummer better start earning his contract at some point this year...

This team always has stretches where everyone goes cold because have a lot of free swingers.  It’s part of the reason we need guys like Vaughn & Madrigal in the lineup and instead of Nick Williams & Leury Garcia.

Mets fans are ready to run him out of town already. He’s been awful at the plate and behind it. 

Yep. Imagine if Nick Madrigal's offense was as bad as his defense+baserunning has been. That's what McCann has been for them.

Grandal has been frustrating, but one of the reasons I don't complain about his bat is because he has terrific plate discipline which is sorely needed in this lineup.

Or to 2b if you are Acuna.

yeah, but they're not as much free swingers this year. lots of walks. 

nice to see bummer sinker moving 38 feet downward again.

Bummer was ready to go to the dugout after 2 outs.

I saw Big Frank on FoxSports this evening talking about the Cubs and he basically was saying the main guys...Rizzo, Bryant and Baez are pissed that they didn't get extensions after bring a World Championship to the Northside and now the clubhouse is like a cancer.

I could see that. There’s really no other explanation to be honest.

Sox obviously are horseshit but otoh it sure is a pleasure to listen to the best tandem in the booth that the Sox could make in Kasper and Stone.  I'd love it if it continued like this.  Not only do I no have to listen to Bennettis stupid bullshit all game but hey Steve Stone is a complete 100% baseball analyst again.  Man Bennetti can GTFO / go pound sand with Boog for the Cubs and I'd be thrilled with Kasper and Stone on TV.

can this asshole stop walking people.

Walking those 8/9 hitters...makes me want to punch kittens. (Not really)

Yeah or atleast lay down a suicide squeeze. I’m getting tired of them leaving guys on base.
