3 hours ago3 hr All the move on from Chase, the let’s trade him now group, they seem to not be aware of how good his defense is, his range; especially how quickly he turns the double play relay, like he showed in the 1st.
3 hours ago3 hr Sox as a team are constantly fooled by front-door sinkers for some reason. It's a "good" pitch but one that is supposed to be very risky for the pitcher.
3 hours ago3 hr I have just learned to live with Colson looking like absolute booty when he's not clobbering a bunch of home runs in a short time span.

It's great when he's hitting homers in low leverage situations, but he's probably one of the last guys you want in a clutch situation because of how bad he can look against well executed pitches.

3 hours ago3 hr I still think the Colson can't hit in the clutch thing is mostly sample size theater. His "clutch" when measured as whether his performance differs based on leverage is literally zero for his career, meaning there is no correlation between the leverage index and his results (fun fact: Ozzie Guillen is one of the most clutch ever by this metric...not that he was a great hitter in high leverage, but he hit notably better in high leverage than he did any other time)

Is this one of the reasons they took Roch as the first pick?

His defensive issues as of late might mean they could be kind of right. It's probably Roch's position in a year or 2.I think they took Roch because he's going to be MLB-ready in a year or 2, which matches our timeline much better than someone like Emerson. And he hits right handed which this team and farm system needs more of. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by chw42

3 hours ago3 hr easily the best I've seen Schultz look so far, granted it's the injury ridden A's but if there was an offense to inspire confidence, this is it

It's probably Roch's position in a year or 2.At first I was against it. Now I like the idea of rotating Vargas and Montgomery between DH and 3rd. The Dream of signing Mune long term is still alive for me. Ant at 2nd and Bonemer in LF.
3 hours ago3 hr What’s with the sunglasses, Brooke? Looks like she’s going skiing. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by WhiteSox2023
3 hours ago3 hr Looks like Smith had a nice little comeback today, too: 4 IP, 1 ER, 1 BB, & 5 KIf we can get him back to somewhat of his first half form last year that would be massive.

Hopefully we can get a couple more solid innings from him.Alot of very talented pitchers will regularly go through alot of growing pains in their first year. People need to be patient. If the knee issues aren't chronic, Schultz could easily be the ace of this staff soon.
