Why is Leury hitting ahead of Sheets?  Leury has left 5 on base as well.

I think it's because if they bring in a lefty Yoan and Sheets back to back is way too easy to matchup against. Not saying Leury is some masher in between them to make the opposing manager think twice, but that's probably why Yoan and Sheets aren't hitting back to back. 

Eloy is playing so deep, I hope he has a ticket.

When Yoan looks bad it's really really bad. He's a very polarizing player. 

Is Lynn really running out of gas in the 4th inning?

Not sure why he's throwing the curveball this inning cause it's gotten hit twice.

I read something a few weeks ago that showed Leury was 3rd in *baseball* in RBI opportunities per plate appearance this year. Maybe it's changed a bit since then, but no matter what, the game always finds Leury up in a big spot

Seems to me that Sheets is a more dangerous hitter than Leury.  Sheets has been hitting the long ball lately as well.  He would have come up with the bases loaded and with 2 on base second time around.  One swing of the bat and Sox get 4 runs and/or 3 runs.

But Yoan is a switch hitter?.

Yoan is not good against lefties.

Don't say that out loud bro because some here will call you phil Rodgers or tell you that you are not seeing what you are seeing 

 

Yoan is the most important hitter in the Sox lineup to me if we win the world series. If he had bats like the last 2 then forget it.  Thats why I have love/hate relationship with him

105 wRC+ against them this year, but obviously he's better against righties.

The power just isn't there against lefties. But then again, the power just isn't there this year in general. 

I'm excited to see how Sheets' bat plays in a full season next year.

Better to be lucky than good!

TA is feeling gooooooood tonight

Nice hustle TA!

That's how you get revenge, Tim!

Also, credible criticism is fine, calling Moncada "The Weakest Link" on the White Sox is absurd.

As you were.

The amount of discourse when Moncada fails or doesn't come through vs other similarly valuable players on the Sox will never not be weird to me.

Goofy ass slide. ?

TA is just taking this game over right now. Wow.

TA is electric!

Yoan has his own style and it's a little strange. 

1-9 with RISP. Thank God for TA
