Seems weird to drink before a game. That's being an alcoholic. It was a relief appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could wind up being the worst Sox trade ever. First career three hit game....pretty sure. Third multi homer game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like they traded Tatis Jr and Madrigal and received nothing in return. Wouldn't this White Sox lineup look alot better if Burger, Tatis jr and Madrigal were in there? And Marcus Semien wouldn't be bad either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Let's be fair here, at least as fair as possible. Looking at Moncada, its not like he passes off some first impression that he's a bum. Dude's jacked. Clearly takes care of himself. But also, it sounds like players have been put on blast.

Paulie4Pres Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 If only there was a department within the organization that handled this for players... Lmao. Like, he has back problems. He should have a training and medical staff telling him the best way to prepare and deal with that. Not "figuring it out" on his own.

TheBooneLoganEra Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 If there was ever a player who was going to up the effort in a contract year its Yoan Moncada. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Maybe we need to hire Prime Time as a part time baseball coach to motivate the White Sox... "It's fun," Colorado's Travis Hunter said of playing both ways. "It's hard on your body (playing 120+ total snaps in 100 degree heat), but that's what you got treatment for. I like going out there. I didn't get a touchdown today, but I got an interception, so that's going to help my stats, and it's going to help the team, and helping the team is what I want to do."

Jake has been pretty good at 3rd, and I noticed less strikeouts . the Marlins were fading a bit, but Jake seems to have got them going again. His wife indicated frustration. I’m sure playing free of the roadblocks, and playing free from this mindfucking organization helps him to play more loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Sox always think they can outsmart some of these organizations in trades. A lot more investment in baseball intelligence is needed on the south side. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Modern baseball seems to have more than its share of brittle players. I wonder what players in the 70's and 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what players in the 70's and 80's. Players didn't play at the extreme. Using pitchers for an example, they went to the mound with the goal of a complete game. They paced themselves for that. During the first inning they were saving something for the seventh or eighth innings. Now throw hard from the first pitch, try to get five innings, and hit the bench. The effort is greater for a shorter duration and at the edge of injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assumption is they haven't. How about he ignored their first advice. So they offered something different he might do. Then something else trying to find something, anything he would do. I'm more inclined to blame him than the trainers. Bottom line he's an adult, they can't lock him in a cell and force him to take care of himself.

This. If healthy, and that’s an enormous if, I think he has a solid 2024. Also think there’s a decent chance the org is just done with him and do what is necessary to move him, which is probably eat $20M or so including the buyout.
