Quin Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Previous game threads I tried to bring in good luck charms. I think we've all just entered a mental hellscape at this point (shout out Berto). Anyway, Cease vs. McClanahan. Perhaps they right the ship and have the greatest turnaround ever. Likely not, but, perhaps. Anyway, memes instead of good luck charms: 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I hope the 12 people who are there tonight boo the absolute hell out of them and at least half are waving Fire Hahn! signs.  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Two observations... Andrew Benintendi's statcast numbers are horrible. Yet he's still got a 700 OPS. The optimist in me says his batted ball stats will start returning to his career averages and his numbers will improve alongside. The pessimist in me says his stats could fall off a table if he doesn't start hitting the ball with a bit more oomph. Luis Robert has got to be the biggest disappointment this season. At the start of the season he looked like he had finally put it together. He was a top hitter in the league, and was making it look easy. And the glove was elite. Now it seems like he couldn't hit the ball without a paddle. Grifol is stuck in a tough spot. To succeed we need our best hitter getting the most at-bats. Hence hitting first or second. But he's a total drain right now. Hopefully his near homerun yesterday is a sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Park Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I just would like to see a pitchers duel . at least that, and play solid defense . hoping for anything else is unreasonable at this point I suppose . if they had just played .500 ball, we would be right there behind the Twins.

The fact that neither the Guardians nor Twins have taken advantage and made the flap larger is going to keep some people hopeful. I would get it if the team was actually playing good ball and losing. But they’re not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to believe they couldn't find a more appropriate partner. I wonder if Manfred wonders what the hell is going on. Wouldn't MLB be better as a whole if the American League franchise in the country's 3rd largest city was run like a big market, and actually spurred interest from its residents?

The fact that "Wintrust Field at Comiskey Park" was right there (allegedly). On one hand: Quite possibly the greatest stadium name in sports, as far as sponsorships go. On the other hand: One of the worst names + THE worst logo for a stadium sports. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
