Monday at 09:30 PM2 days I believe the team can get into the playoffs this year. I wasn't surprised they won 4 out of 5 games from the Braves and Dodgers. I know I'm in the minority but i don't think the Braves and Dodgers have great teams. Very good teams, yes. Great teams, no. I think the White Sox have a tougher series against the Yankees than what they had against the Braves and Dodgers.
Monday at 10:26 PM1 day 2 hours ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said:Barrels are a pretty noisy stat (in fact, they're so noisy that he's actually squared up fewer balls this year by a good bit than last year, but has more barrels), and I wouldn't worry much about launch angle for a guy with a 67 MPH bat speed.. plus a 7.2 vs 6.7 (last year) LA is hardly a measurable change. For slow bat speeds (bottom 10%), the ideal launch angle sits between 12-15 degrees. If you look at successful profiles in that player type (Steven Kwan and Luis Arraez types) you'll see a different profile all together.I know he's your guy, and I would defend my guy the same way so completely get it. I just find it nearly impossible to project out a better performance for the guy than he's shown this year. He seems maxed out.His barrel rate is up because his launch angle sweet-spot rate is much better YoY, going from the legit 1st percentile (i.e. very worse in baseball) to the 38th percentile. And while down YoY, he’s still 82nd percentile in squared-up rate. His lack of bat speed will always limit his power numbers, but he’s at least a +.100 ISO guy now and I fully believe that sticks. I don’t think it will materially change though as he’s physically I agree he’s closed to maxed out.I do think there is room for improvement in terms of contact & plate discipline though as he continues to settle into this new approach. I truly believe he has two elite offensive traits in bat-to-ball skills and plate discipline and then will continue to improve with time and offset any batted ball luck we are seeing now.

I believe as far as the regular season goes. The key for them in the postseason is getting some sort of home field advantage, even if it's only two games. When rocking, Comiskey is one of the best atmospheres in all of baseball. It's a truly frightening place for opposition players to go, and they have said as much. The blackout game is as close as I've seen to seeing a premier league atmosphere transposed in the United States. I think on an October night, it's reminiscent of Goodison Park.

Yesterday at 03:40 AM1 day Teel hit a HR in his first rehab at bat with Charlotte. If we can stay healthy, we easily make the playoffs.Antonnaci, Vargas, Murakami, Montogomery C/B, Meidroth and Teel are 7 of the 9 locked in starters now.With Peters and Grichuk contributing well and Benintendi coming up clutch sometimes, we look solid offensively.The obvious issue is pitching. Without Schultz and Smith getting anywhere close to their ceiling, we would need to trade for starting pitching or the postseason is a stretch too far this season.

I think the White Sox have a tougher series against the Yankees than what they had against the Braves and Dodgers.it's a game of streaks. You can catch a team when they are playing bad. Somewhere the Sox turn has to come up when they will be bad. It will be like watching the Brewers series again. It's different losing a series to the Yankees than it is to the Royals.People go into trade frenzy but but never really think of for what and thinking there are some naive GMs out there. Not everyone can be as gifted as the Brewers and trade starting pitching. The hardest part about baseball is having good young player on the farm that are good enough to be playing for bad teams. So why not give them up. Then when injuries happen that player is no longer there. When Mune went down there was potential to be a lot worse. Lucky for them they had some guys worthy of being brought up. The most strategic part of running a baseball team these days is dealing with injuries. Not many are gifted when pitchers go down.
