Honestly, he was doing a lot of those swings even during the hot streak - we didn't notice how little power he had while he was batting .400, but now that he's back down to earth it doesn't look pretty. He used to use that kind of cut occasionally, maybe against a tough pitcher or to break out of a slump, but we haven't seen him look hitterish in a long time now.

 

In your opinion, is he overcompensating too much for the loss of bat speed?

Too bad we can trade posters who are still complaining about losses for some prospect posters.

 

All depends on the value we get back for some of them

At the game, what was the call? Looked weak for batters interference

Conor!!!!

Vive el "corner"

Very nice

Seems like the only thing that makes sense. He isn't stupid, he would have realized he needed to change his approach if approach was the issue.

lets go TJP!!

lol

Oh White Sox, there's the team I've been watching all year.

Lol.

love when alexei s***s the bed....twice

While I am flabbergasted as to how Alexei made that error, Ramon Troncoso on his rump is a nice representation of our season

Alexei with the nice 16:1 error:HR ratio

 

That has to be the worst in baseball, right?

He's this year's Ryan Bukvich.

We'll see Petricka up soon

@SouthSideSox: It's like the Sox think I'm going to warm up to Ramon Troncoso once I get used to him. YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD.

GO DEFENSE?!

I can't wait for the trades to start coming so there's something real to talk about with the Sox. Speculation and bad baseball is old.

I like watching Phegley play still. No Beckham means one less player I'm interested in watching hit. Sounds like Beckham is headed back to the DL.

Well at least Detroit isn't going to let the Sox hang around and give the front office false hopes... start the deals Hahn

If Beckham goes to DL, we should call up Carlos Sanchez just for s***s and giggles. Who knows, maybe he catches fire. It wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he hits lol
