Viciedo just cannot hit fastballs it seems.

Horrible at bat by Viciedo and here comes Morel

WEAK

Way to shorten up your swing to make contact Dayan...yikes

Hahaha Morel is a joke

I hate you Morel.

You guys want to keep watching that for the rest of the season?

Scherzer impressive so far.

Hahaha Morel is a joke

 

He looks like a pitcher at the plate. The 0-1 swing was comical. He looks so overmatched, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's sent down after the road trip.

Geez at least make contact, this was awful.

One good month in the majors

Which makes sense, because I'm sure some of those quality ABs were against minor league call-ups.

I really hope so

This team, it's owner and management is affront to anyone who is truly a Chicago WhiteSox fan.

Morel and Vicedo are both bad. Vicedo was a waste of time and money. And he doesn't deserve a nickname like tank, either.

Way, way too early to tell with Viciedo. Viciedo at least swings hard in case he makes contact. Every swing by Morel looks like an 0-2 protect swing. However, Viciedo needs to avoid falling into Josh Fields territory where he can't cover the fastball. Again, it wouldn't be in the worst interest of Sox fans if Morel hits .150 this year in the majors. If it means they go out and find a new 3B this offseason, that would be the best possible solution.

It would be too early if he was making the major league minimum, but he's not. I don't see him coming around, either. We have a major league team and we treat it like a farm team waiting for guys to come around.

I woke up for THAT mess, lol?

 

Maybe it would have been better to keep sleeping with the way things are going now...

 

Morel 32 k's, Dunn 40. Brent is going to set some kind of record for most K's without a homer in a season.

We really don't have a competitive team this year with Axelrod being placed into the rotation. The sooner you come to realize that, the easier it is to accept. Hope for Beckham and Viciedo to prove they can actually start in the majors...and that's about the only reason to watch anymore.

He'll make a September run. Balta will post I told you so.

I accepted it before Sale moved into the pen. We are basically giving these guys major league tryouts for other teams...if they ever come around, I'm sure it will happen the year their contracts expire.

Yep. It seems many people still have high expectations for this team for some reason. The saving grace of Sale to the bullpen is the fact that it will likely push Kenny (or his replacement) to fully commit to a rebuild instead of this stuck in between nonsense.

I quit refreshing until commercial breaks so you guys don't spoil anything, lol

Okay Dick, let's forgo having the Cooper/Walker debate in a game thread because at this point it's beyond pitching and hitting coaches.

 

Baseball is a game of momentum, and it has turned completely against us for now. It's really going to test Ventura's mettle in terms of whether he really wants to be a major league manager long-term or just stepped into the pool with a few toes to test the water.

This. I think if we trade for a good young bat we can compete though. s***, maybe 2-3 or 4 bats. This lineup as is will not effectively grind down any pitchers all year.
