At least Eloy makes up for his terrible defense & base running by putting up a .550 OPS

Meanwhile Yordan Alvarez is one of the best hitters on the planet.  Eloy is a giant bust.

So, I’ve watched all or part of all 94 games… just like every year. This has to be the most disappointing.

This one here?

Eloy hitting high change up on the ground

His bat looks so slow 

Lefty Pilkington throwing 92-93 right down the middle and White Sox doing nothing. This team is so unlikeable.

Vlad Jr was in that same debut class, too ? don't forget about him

Haha AJ bringing up how many injuries the Twins have had.  Color me shocked...I thought only the Sox had injuries that kept them from reaching their goals?

Sox are just about the healthiest team in baseball right now

Every team in the MLB has dealt with major injuries. I'm tired of hearing about injuries.

Grandal was probably more valuable last year than Eloy has been in his entire career

but also true

We’ve had a few ?

Everyone knew Vlad was the best prospect at the time.  Eloy was supposed to be a can’t miss slugger.  What we’ve seen from him is probably the worst case scenario for his career.

Lynn throwing 90 mph.....yikes. 

I’d love to see a stat of how many middle in fastballs in the 90-94 range the White Sox have seen and not gotten a hit on. Gotta be a high %. Pitchers don’t have to worry about making mistakes to this lineup 

It's impossible to know what Eloy is since he can't stay on the field.

leadoff walk to catcher hitting .194

Keeping TA healthy. Should be able to get a haul for Anderson at the trade deadline.

Yeah...Leury every day.  Oh wait...we already do that.

That's a fucking terrible walk.

Outside of Cease, decreased velocity for so many pitchers on the Sox is really concerning.

I actually did read that the Sox do face the highest % of meatball fastballs (middle-middle) and their results on them are the worst in baseball

They have gone from one of the most fun teams to watch, to totally boring at a speed almost never seen before.  Probably only the Marlins dismantling their WS teams was faster, but that was on purpose.

And Rodon was the pitcher from last year who was supposed to break ?

Great play to pick him off 3rd.

I know a lot of people would hate this, but if the Sox can cash in on Cueto for a Pilkington equivalent prospect (whether it's a SP or outifleder) they should do it

FOX probably pays him $2-$3M a year to do this job. Would the Sox pay him that to be the bench coach?

AJ really wants to manage and has already said he would take any phone call from JR.
