A-Train to 35th Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Launch angel is overrated..........The White Sox offense looked lethargic in the second game. Going into the last inning, the Yankees led 4-2, and it appeared the Sox were going to settle for a split. However, they put on two runners with one out in the bottom of the ninth. And who comes out of the dugout to pinch-hit? Not bad Richie Allen, but good Dick Allen. Comiskey Park went wild, but Allen calmly strolled up to the plate apparently unmoved by all the excitement. On the second pitch from reliever Sparky Lyle, Allen once more used that down-cutting swing of his and sent a vicious line drive to left. Sitting down the left field line, I picked up the ball just as it went a little over the shortstop’s head. At first, I thought it was one of those hard-hit balls that are caught by the outfielder. But the ball kept rising. It remained on a line, but it rose. Left fielder Roy White wasn’t coming in, he was drifting back. Once at the wall, White had a totally frustrated look as he watched the drive zip into the seats for a game-winning, three-run homer. When was there a more exciting moment at Comiskey Park in recent memory? A fan would have to think about it. And when had a White Sox hitter demonstrated power like Allen? It is safe to say: Never.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy looked like he was dying running the bases during 2020 and never went on the IL. What's lazy to me is the narrative that he doesn't care. I wish he was playing better, but I don't see it as an effort problem at all. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Yoan's pitch recognition looks so much worse than it was in years past. He used to not even flinch at change-ups or sliders well off the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When expectations are high , no matter who it is , no one is spared, especially high priced talent expected to be something they haven't become.

He's still been the best hitter on the team, by far, in those situations. Bizarro Timmy in so many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
