Sweep the leg!

Only team in MLB without a sweep.  Time to change that.

Baldwin on the bench again, it has to be Getz not liking him.

Or that Baldwin has a pretty clear split disadvantage against LHP this year.

I think it’s just showcasing all the OFs we are trying to move.  Robert, Tauchman, Slater, & Taylor all in the lineup and I expect at least three of them and possibly all four of them to be traded in next 10 days or so.

Get off the field so the Sox can start whooping your ass.

Chase!

Throw that child out! 

Strictly for his dumb ass sunglasses.

All the offense!

That is not 5 that have missed in a row, John. There was literally an out made.

I can't believe Vargas was able to pull a pitch that far outside all the way over the fence

Holy s%*#, Tauchman. 

No cheap homers there. 

Don't trade anyone. Make a run!

Quote

* At the risk of an extremely arbitrary endpoint, after securing 14 outs of scoreless baseball Saturday night the White Sox bullpen has a 2.74 ERA since June 19 (basically the past month). That's the lowest mark in the American League.
* There's a small collection of Sox hitters who thrive against lefties, but the degree to which they thrive is not subtle, and Venable is pretty proactive in deploying them when there's opportunity.

Edgar Quero - 178 wRC+
Luis Robert Jr. - 168
Mike Tauchman - 148
Andrew Benintendi - 142
Austin Slater - 141
No one else is over 100 wRC+ against lefties on the season

 

Hopefully we see Chase & Vargas turn things around here.  I am still a believer in both of them, although fully acknowledge that Miguel is a harder buy if destined for 1B.

It's interesting how Tauchman, until this year, has been deployed almost solely as a platoon bat. But he has never had much in the way of bad splits against lefties. Out of necessity, the Sox have let him hit lefties and he's done very well against them.

They both are playing better. I didn't expect them to just sail through the season wtihout hiccups. Especially Chase.

Agreed and I pointed this out when he was signed. That he doesn’t need a platoon guy against LHP

Huh

Colson looking alright at 3rd so far to me.

If you don't get something you feel really confident about for Sosa or Tauchman you don't trade them 

I'll give the Sox minor league development folks a thumbs-up on Colson's defense. Always nice when a guy is pegged as a question mark with the glove but he ends up being better than advertised. 

We'll leave discussion of his bat for another day

I think Vargas is a first baseman. Some minor adjustments defensively and I think he could be decent. Wish Elko could hit. Would be a nice 1b/DH combo

Why does Plesac keep on calling Brooke Brooks?
