Eloy is a fucking spaz.

I swear in his head he just says "f*** it I'm doing it" way too often.

Vaughn fouling off meatballs. That never works.

Pathetic AV.

Why is Vaughn just not good. I dont get it.

Love the 5 AB sample size assessment or is it 4 ?

He looked terrible for the first few PAs.

Really hoping Lee starts tomorrow.

It seems painfully obvious that Getz will need to take Maldonado out Old Yeller style at some point and likely before the All Star break.  I wanted to believe that there was some part of Martin’s game that was still there like “pitcher handling” but not sure that even matters when the dude looks like Kung Fu Panda after a week long dumpling bender.  Hopefully Lee gets a shot while Stassi and can give Pedro a compelling reason to use his bestie Maldonado as little as possible.

Because he was on the Rick Hahn f*** everyone’s development plan

The Sox can have decent offense if they go with this lineup consistently.

1. LF Benintendi (L)
2. 3B Moncada (S)
3. CF Robert Junior (R)
4. DH Jimenez (R)
5. RF Colas (L)
6. 1B Vaughn (R)
7. SS Shewmake (L)
8. C Lee (R)
9. 2B Lopez (L)

But Colas fifth to break up L/R through the rest of the lineup, 

Oddly enough, the Sox have yet to have a runner on 2nd base this season.

Eh, RH didn't turn one of the quickest bats in college baseball into whatever he's doing now.

Gamethreads are for in the moment reactions, I can’t stand when people come in hours later and try to s%*# on posts from earlier in the game. 

Shoemake looks smooth as f*** at SS. Strong arm, good movements.

He has aluminum bat power.  A lot of the homers he hit the opposite way at Cal land at the warning track now.  I’m not sure what the numbers were like last year, but he just can’t hit RHP sliders it seems.

It helps that he doesn't swing like a sloth at the plate.

We’re due for a breakout player from another organization. Why not him.

Did you just ghost this thread waiting for something positive to happen so you could come throw around some lessons? f*** off buddy. 

No I saw someone say something stupid about how a short sample size shouldn't be used and used an even smaller sample size to say it.

Then you scream obscenity at me like I'm the bad guy when I show u how stupid you are.

You wanna s%*# on me being positive from game to game or s%*# on your team in the game thread go ahead but I'll call out idiocy , impatience and immaturity any time I want to.

He got 55 games in the minors and whatever they did in 2020. He may not have wood power but he definitely was done no favors by white Sox development. 

Such a stupid pitch call. Just keep throwing him fastballs. Stupid walk.

4 innings, 3 runs, 9 base runners, no Ks. Let me know when it’s been an acceptable length to question Soroka please. 

That's the first walk of the year

leadoff walk! raise the banner!

Took until the 13th inning to draw the first walk of the season.
