White Sox throw Martin vs. Olson...

Only Robert .900 and Benintendi .200 carry OPS numbers against Olson over .100 career-wise.

Maton seems to be the new platoon DH and Baldwin continues to play all over the diamond...which is helping versatility but not his defensive efficiency.

Don't see any point to giving Amaya much more playing time.

Very small sample sizes, but Lee and Sosa had best start hitting. The prospects who are closest to the majors play 2b and c, respectively.

They are hyping the Thaiss acquisition on the pre-game show.  🤣

Lee Sosa and Vargas are arguably under the most immediate pressure.

Vaughn...not really?

So Baldwin Benintendi and Maton's two homers in limited playing time are about it for offense.

The bullpen is already showing signs of being overexposed.

 

And we have three more veteran outfielders sitting on the bench with Tauchman in waiting.  Yay?

Robert now has two walks.

There's that.

Vaughn is a STUD!

Never doubted him once!

Well this inning is a bit of a shock.

Need to get at least two.

 

Nick Maton has to the weakest DH in baseball.

Edited April 5, 20251 yr by caulfield12

Awful

Well that fizzled out quickly.

Hard to sustain an inning with this offense...or lack thereof.

Edited April 5, 20251 yr by caulfield12

That lead was fun while it lasted.

No reason to play the infield in this early.  Just puts more pressure on guys like Vaughn.

Joey Cora put on the brakes for Greene.  Would have been dead to rights.

 

62 mph ev  classic Aaron Bummer hit

The old swinging bunt burns the Sox.  2-1 Tigers.

Benintendi with a very good play to save two runs...wouldn't have gone out.

Getz is the Sox GM.

loool

Kerry Bonds does it again..all early in counts.

Sucks when the Sox are only game on for an hour and I have to watch.

Not really.  Amaya hit in the minors how you would want him to hit in the majors.

Amaya’s career minor league line:  

.251

.353

.389

.741

.741 OPS in MiLB so I would say no.

How many more plate appearances do we give Vargas before admitting officially that he’s a bust acquisition?

I miss the Angels offense
