I’m not his biggest fan but he’s a walking machine to this point.

Vaughn's got a good eye but his swing is just not right.

Would have liked to see him take a pitch or two.

He’s holding his own, but far from the offensive machine he was touted as.  Have to hope the light will just flip on and stay on at some point.

Regardless, despite REALLY not liking the Grandal deal and him on the roster, given the money, he is finding a tangible way to help the team offensively, while not hitting at all. That is a pretty unique situation.

Lucas at 90 MPH on the fastball. I know some have said his velocity is fine, but I don't remember him ever throwing 90 in 2019 or 2020.

Looks to me like he’s content with hard contact now as opposed to trying to lift the ball for extra bases, and that fine. He still hitting the ball hard most times, and once he gets a higher comfort level I expect he’ll be more aggressive in terms of doing damage. 

If one of our biggest problems is a guy with a .400 OBP, I’ll take that every time.

90 mph 4 seam FB jumped out at me too.

There is literally no catcher in baseball people would be happy with if they don't like Grandal. His track record is as good or better than any catcher in the game.

Great to see the Royals not throw the runner out at the plate on Mercedes hit. He would have been out by a mile or not sent if Gordon was out there in LF. Good game (so far, anti jinx). Got to love Mercedes.

Nice to see runs scored without homers. This team is a lot of fun to watch right now.

Lucas just can't put guys away right now. 

Nice to see Katie & Len on good terms. Hope Jim & Jason can get there. 

Damn.  Nice play Yoan but Jose couldn’t pick it. 

That would have been one hell of a play if Abreu hung on to it.

No command and lack of a quality 3rd pitch really hurting him right now.

Moncada nearly made the play of the year for the Sox.

Should we now cheer for the Cubs to linger around in the NL Central race so Ricketts looks like even more of a jackass for trading Bryant, Baez and Rizzo...?

 

Great attempt by Moncada.  Abreu couldn’t quite pick it.  Hit in the palm of the glove instead of pocket.

Abreu needs to come up with that 

Bad throw didn’t bite them at least. 

Damn Jose and his bloated contract out there losing games for us at 1B.   Can’t wait for a new owner.

Double clutch costs the White Sox an out probably.

Yasmani looks bad now.

Really?  Do you have any legitimate insights?
