I always have the Sox on, but usually watching someone else . the Sox are too depressing. Just switched to CLE and Tex. Why I'm not sure. Rooting for CLE over Minnesota I guess...just from an organizational/financial resources standpoint. White Sox would be looking at 100+ losses with all those pitching injuries.

His FIP is over 10 at this point, ERA at 14.54. RickHahn should be embarrassed with Shaw’s performance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 5 minutes ago, South Side Hit Men said: Lucas Luetge was DFA'd in May, sent to AAA, back today. See if the Sox can score on him. 10.24 ERA. Narrator: They could not. This was the worst played game since the late April / early May losing streak. Touki was the bright spot, nice I guess Tim and Andrew each had two hits. Benintendi's ninth inning single the lone other Sox hit.

It is a bit puzzling that they can’t get better at bats. The team admits they hit too many ground balls and they were doing things to try to lift the ball. They should try and take more pitches. They swing at the first pitch a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you can often change your true talent against certain types of pitches in the zone, you rarely see guys that had a high o-zone swinging percentage in the minors suddenly turn patient at the MLB level. I'm pretty sure you know this honestly, but just reiterateda: this is an org wide failing, the players are just here and shitty at it because the org doesn't draft for it, doesn't develop it and certainly doesn't put a priority on it. Amazingly we seem to have zero core values as a franchise other than perhaps raw velocity for our staff. There's almost nothing else we do better than bottom 1/3 in MLB. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do I really not believe this, I also find it fascinating that the White Sox hitters all seem to have consistently gotten worse at this over the past 3 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a kinda stupid plan then to draft a 6'7" high school guy who strikes out a s%*# load, huh? Best of luck to him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be more patient at the plate, then can get more walks and get better pitches to hit, and get opposing starters out of the game sooner.
