Except it only happens once every eight or nine games. And now the rotation is under even more pressure with Martin out and Smith starting to hit a wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) Can that be about it for Noda? Why the F would Getz acquire a 29-year old 1B in a rebuilding year to replace an even younger bust? Meidroth’s slump is also disconcerting. Meanwhile, Benintendi getting hot but no one will take on his contract.

Then we see what the kid is made off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he’s taking a LOT of pitches down the plate, and ending up falling behind quickly. He just needs to face the Tigers again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is crazy how his OPS fluctuates .100 points from .775 to .675. I do think he is legit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys have to figure out selective aggression and ambush hitting. Smash a few first pitch fastballs and that will quickly end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't like that 2023 season when he had five homers. He'll hit 20 again this year like last year if he stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
