Did Eloy hurt himself running to first base earlier in the game?

Whiffing on 90 and 91.

I know it's hot today, but holy crap that's bad from Jose. Holland's been a gas can lately.

 

Just now, Look at Ray Ray Run said:

The 2005 White Sox had the best record in baseball for 90% of the season.

Is this just you "tempering" your expectations for a team that already won the title? At this point I just feel like you're trolling, and it's not your pessimism any longer but your desire to say irrational things to get a reaction.

Part of the reason the Sox won that championship was because of Cliff Pollitte and Neal Cotts, two guys that had great seasons that sucked before and after that season. 

The Sox needed 3 closers that year, most teams that go through 3 closers don't make the playoffs. 

The dropped 3rd strike, the HBP that was actually a foul ball, etc. 

TLR let’s Mendick hit and pinch hits for Eloy?????????????

Fuckin Eloy is hurt

 

Ummm why isn’t EloY hitting

It's baseball, you can luck your way into a championship. See: 2005 Sox and 2006 Cardinals. 

I find a twenty in the parking lot on the way to work? That's lucky.

A meeting where I had to present a slideshow that I hadn't even started on gets cancelled? That's lucky.

A team going wire-to-wire over the span of 6 months and then winning all but one games in the postseason to include 4 consecutive complete game performances?.....Little bit of effort...just a smidge. 

Oh fuck

Did ELOY get traded????

sounds like something the Mets would want to see

I'm sure he could learn 2B if the Sox are insistent on not moving Moncada back there.

it's fun to dream

Smoke and mirrors. 

Whose offensive performance specifically is smoke and mirrors? The Sox don't even really have any overperforming offensive players outside of maybe Engel and Sheets and they've had a fraction of the total PA of the team this season.

Are we really pinch hitting for Eloy?

Good news hopefully is he batted again after the close play at first.

Because that. ^

I'll be optimistic and assume we are just being super careful, which is fine

Jose looks like he's ready to retire at 34

Sounds like he’s fine and they’re just not taking chances

Eloy needs to walk to first base on ground balls until the playoffs start.

Here is your 1 run cushion, Liam! Thank the offense later, after you save the game!

91 down the middle was too electric for Jose to handle.

The "injury" is also another reason they really need to add another bat or two.  It's unrealistic to think the core 7 stay healthy the rest of the way after they return.

Eloy DHs and still gets hurt. Apparently you can't wrap him in bubble wrap.
