Nolan Gorman with an atrocious approach in this at bat

Edited July 9, 20232 yr by whitesoxfan99

Hung a slider...

Was nice knowing you kendall

Nolan Gorman single handedly won the Sox game 1 and if Sox win it’s because of Gorman today.  

It hit his knuckle, I'm not sure how folks saw anything else. Doesn't matter, team sucks just enough to let the tying run score, now its an immediate battle of who sucks slightly more.

Miraculous that ball to right ended up foul ... misery prolonged.

A couple more Cardinal errors and we got this game.

Yep.  I thought it clearly hit him and I also doubt Walker is a good enough actor to immediately react the way he did if it didn’t hit him.

Just 7 games back at the ASB and they're right there!

That's a White Sox at bat right there.  No need to swing at first pitch, may have been called a strike but nothing you were going to do with it anyway.  Second pitch wasn't close.  Could have been 3-0.

Nothing to do with pitch recognition or anything just having a plan when you come up knowing what has unfolded. 

 

 

All the Cardinales say, they could have won this any day

They only let it slip away, out of kindness, I suppose.

 

 

 

Burger has to hit one out right?

Yep. And against a pitcher who had shown zero command at all the entire inning

I’m starting to hate AV.

Maybe if strike three had hit the ground and bounced up. 

Crappy ATbats

Seems Jake is always 0 and 2.

Like Sheets ever had a chance, there.

 

Battle of 2 REAL inept teams, in a game no one wants to win.

He really has no solid skill to rely on.  Does nothing exceptionally well and is average in a couple of things and below average in others.  Burger may be an overall better player. 

That didn't take long

On to Middleton lowering trade value...

But 100 RBI pace....80s 90s star!

There is no value to anyone in that pen other than Santos and never really was.  There were getting lottery tickets for anyone and they are not developing a lottery ticket.  They can't development solid prospects.

You've just described 75-85% of the entire roster.
