Allergic to elevation

He's been up 3 times tonight in situations like that and didn't elevate the ball once. At least the first time the ball got through. Not good enough from him at all

We are one of the greatest singles team ever assembled. 

 

married guys seem to get play too on this squad.

What lack of hustle will Yoan show this at bat?

Ball right down the middle and Abreu looks to hit it to the right side

Contact play does not like Sox

He’s going to end the season close to 2 WAR actually

I will bet money he does not hit 2 fWAR

Contact play with Vaughn is no bueno.

Has it ever been explained why this team has experienced an epidemic of ground balls? Is this really Menechino’s philosophy? 

Bench his ass

Regardless, 1 fWAR thru 74 games is pretty damn solid for a cheap signing like him

we consistently score 1-2 runs less every 4 innings than we should. Too many automatic outs and if you're playing station to station that's a killer. that adds up to the difference between 90 and 80 wins at the end of the year.

Pathetic from Yoan. His AB's have been so lifeless again lately.

It's difficult to score runs when you don't hit for power, draw walks, and everyone on your team is slow or not allowed to hustle.

And it’s why the back end of the pen has to pitch in every win

Very soft swing.  GrandaL and Moncada are killing all our rallies.

He used to have a beautiful lefty swing. Now he looks like Leury

Cool…he’s a quality UT guy.  We should have added a legit everyday 2B.

Just a reminder on Moncada: 

2023  $17,000,000

2024 $24,000,000 

2025 $25,000,000 or $5 million BO

 

 

White Sox on pace for lowest walk rate in 120+ years of franchise history.

Yikes.

Being a singles centric club having automatic outs like Moncada, Grandal, and Leury has been killing us
