No one's going to trade for Clevinger. The team is going nowhere.

running hm out there every 5 days is a waste of everyone's time.

I think he is still better than Keuchel last year. IMO.

If Tim didn’t pull everything with RISP that’s a run

Is Tim not coachable or our coaching sucks or both?

You have a point with Eloy, but Robert and Anderson are less dependable yet seem to always avoid scrutiny.

Games Played since Robert's call up:

• 309 Yoan Moncada (27)
• 266 Tim Anderson (29)
• 254 Luis Robert Junior (25)
• 194 Eloy Jimenez (26)

The whole group is beyond absurd. Not one of those guys can be depended on for a full season.

Colome is now our new Diekman.

I was once at a game where Dallas Keuchel started for the Astros. Danny Farquhar realized there was a sound coming out of the dugout, and the Astros panicked and ripped out their video recording equipment after that game.

Can we trade him for Keuchel? I'd be happy with that.

Farquhar was announced as pitching coach of the Winston-Salem Dash, the Class-A Advanced affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, for the 2020 season.^[33]

Besides all the other disappointing and underachieving players on this team, probably the worst drop off on this team is Tim Anderson. He doesn't seem to be motivated and he surely isn't playing with any passion, as the so called "Face of the Franchise!" He isn't hitting, getting on base and definitely is playing dumb baseball. What happened to that guy who could spray singles and doubles to all fields, as well have some power for home runs? 

The last three games: 1-12 - one single, 5 K's, 5 Groundouts (one DP), one flyout.

Look at the drop-off since his breakout year in 2019 when he won the AL batting title.

Season    GP       HR   BA      OBP   SLG    OPS    WAR
2019       123      18   .335    .357   .508    .865     4.0
2020         49      10   .322    .357   .529    .886     2.2  (60 game season)
2021       123      17   .309    .338   .469    .806     4.6
2022         79       6    .301    .339   .395    .734     1.3
2023         16       0    .269    .310   .343    .653     0.0

There are many reasons we can debate why he is declining, but the bottom line is, he is 29 years old and turning 30 in June. It's time to move on and hope we can get some decent value for him. There should be some team that will value TA. It will be one of those successful organizations we always talk about, that are fully confident they have the proven coaching, leadership and quality baseball processes, to change his attitude and correct whatever mental and physical hitting flaws he has developed. Obviously we don't have that coaching or leadership to change him, so let someone else try.

Tim isn't the "Face of the franchise"...he's the "Face of the IL." 

Sorry guys.  I turned the game on just to see the Friedl homer.

Don't be sorry. No force on Earth can overcome Clevinger Hahn Reinsdorf Bad Karma.
