No runs against a pitcher who had absolutely nothing.  Getz has no clue how to evaluate offensive players.

1/3 of his balls in plays are classified as "burner / flare". Dude is swinging a shanked 9 iron up there.

He’s going to be out of baseball in 3 years without about 50 pct of this roster.  It’s honestly not possible to get a worse return on trades than the Cease/Fedde deals.

Smith and Vasil...Perez has been fine.

What can you realistically expect out of Cannon and Martin? 

They're classic 4/5 guys.

Doesn't support the reason for keeping Katz. 

Sosa 281/691   That is about his ceiling...700-725 ops maybe.

When they had them it's either injury or very deficient in everything else.

Remember the talent on this team is likely 2 of the 5 worst teams in 125 years of baseball history...

Crochet was great last year...and so was Fedde for long stretches.

The real problem is JR and Getz.

 

What pitching coach could fix a broken Clevinger???

Shows graphic about batter that has 0 HRs against LHP... shortly after he hits a HR against the LHP

I'm all for trying someone new.  I'd risk new is better.

Soderstrom for MVP.

9 homers three this series alone.

Cal Raleigh 8.

Lighter fluid by the bucket with this pen

The extra 20 lbs Vargas put on is going to make him an all star.

The pitchers are trying to set a record for most breaking balls down the plate in a season 

That's another reason not to be too hard on Katz.

This bullpen is simply horrific from any objective pov.

I always thought the “he was upset about being traded” excuse was one of the dumber things I’ve ever heard.  Went from no future with a team and playing in the minors to getting a full shot with a major league team.

Vaughn already at a -.5 fWAR.  Meanwhile Thaiss leads the team

Like that Sox Latin American RFer that looked like a Roman god and never made a dent at the big league level.

Play of the Day

24 23 23 ages of first three A's hitters and Nick Kurtz might be the best one of all.

Baldwin at second Meidroth at SS.

Communication issues right off the bat on that single up the middle.

 

 

White Sox just four runs in three games.

No output of more than 3 runs.

Huge offensive threat here...Sosa with five singles and a double this series.
