Chicago White Sox Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Leury has a xwOBA in the 2nd percentile and is somehow making his 16th start in 26 games. I simply don’t get Tony’s infatuation with him. Edited May 1, 2021 by Chicago White Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of understand Lamb hitting, he hasn't looked as bad as Leury but to continue to give Garcia starts especially over Nick is inexcusable. Nick is on the bench for the 2nd time in 4 games when he is probably our 3rd or 4th best hitter at the moment. It is mind boggling and I wish the press would push the questions on TLR more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your assessment. A smart manager would limit starting their bench players to 1 or at rare times 2 at most per game. Tony's problem is playing 2-3, with a few regulars already out (when Tim and Robert were out). Mendick is better NOW than both Garcia and Lamb, but Tony won't keep him on the roster since he is not a "trusted veteran". Hahn needs to take control here.

Capn12 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 16 starts in 26 games, for a utility man, is really all you need to know. Lamb, I don’t mind as much, but removing Madrigal, who is hitting as well as anyone right now, to play Leury, is assanine. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on that part of it. At first he couldn't locate it and when he did he was jogging and the runner on 2nd took advantage of it.

He is giving them breaks early so they will be fresh at the end of the season. This is the reason Mendick went down and Lamb and Garcia are with the team as I said earlier. Garcia can give Mandrigal, TA and Vaughn breaks. Lamb can give Vaughn, Moncada and Abreu breaks while also providing LH at bats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t laugh at your post and I get what you’re saying, but there is a balance here and rocking an ice cold Leury in 60% of games just seems crazy to me no matter what. I honestly think La Russa is overvaluing Leury’s switch-hitting ability and doesn’t realize that he is bad against RHP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
