Since this thread is on Garcia...he was pulled today early in the game after slamming into the wall on a home run.

 

Walked off very slowly, definitely agree with Hawk that he looked woozy. It's been several hours and no official word from the team yet on his condition which makes me wonder if they're doing a concussion test on him.

 

I'd guess there's better than a 50/50 chance he winds up on the 7 day concussion Dl.

Robin saying it was more about him being dehydrated, which doesn't really make that much sense.

I've been dehydrated and then tackled before. Hit my head and I was showing concussion symptoms, but passed the evaluation and was fine when I got water. I wouldn't worry.

Same. I've had similar circumstances playing football. Sounds like he will be fine.

Jake Peavy pitched a three hitter against the Dodgers last night, so I hope Garcia turns out to be the beast we all want him to be. I have faith though. I like the guy.

Should be interesting to see who goes farther in the postseason: Peavy, Rios/AJP. It's going to be weird if AJ wins another WS title with a different team. Peavy is a great gamer; looks like we still have one in Sale.

It happened to Jaun Uribe.

 

The Tigers are f***ing idiots. This kid is the s***.

White Sox baseball is now watchable.

 

Garcia now 27 for 75 with the Sox a cool .360

Does AJP even stand a chance with a bum like Rios on the roster?

The power of 2005 is much greater than the negative impact of a bum. AJ will channel his inner Oz and win multiple championships

Did you say Oz ? I love Oz he was a great player and great manager. He has so much personality. He's fun not like boring old Ventura. Ozzie should manage the Sox again and hire Frank Thomas as hitting coach.If Ozzie could have stifled himself he'd have worked forever. His resume will forever include the only Chicago WS title in modern history. Odds are neither Chicago team will win another one in the next 20-50 years so he's going to be a legend a long, long time.

Don't worry, I won't take the bait to fight and get in trouble.

True. It's a shame Kenny wanted Oz gone so badly and that garbage Marlins owner was too cheap and set Oz up to fail

I really haven't had a chance to watch too many games since we've had Avi, how's he looked in cf when he's been out there?

Fluid, but I still prefer him in the corner.

He has basically zero experience in CF prior to this year right? So anything better than terrible should be viewed as positive?

He hit it a bit in the minors, but yeah not a ton. He's such a big guy that it looks like he's plodding when in reality he is covering alot of ground. It's hard to tell how he would perform over a full season.

Avisail is unfortunately deep in the territory of "unsustainable performance" based on his Pitch F/x and component stats. Ugh, I really hope his approach improves -- those shank singles aren't going to keep finding places to fall forever.

The stronger you are, the more sustainable that is because OF's have to play deeper.

To add to that, when you're as strong as Garcia, those shanks go over infielders heads.

Plus as fast as he is, they can't play as deep as the usual powerhitters depth.
