Thad Bosley Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 QUOTE (Chris Sale @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:03 PM) 3rd leadoff walk. Let's see if we can go 0/3 (not that it's much of a challenge for our offense). Is that what you want, an 0 for 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â IDK if you know this but Gordon Beckham is truly one of the greatest players in White Sox history. It's not measured in statistics, or outcomes, or number of fastballs down the middle hit for sky-high pop ups, or really anything I can explain, but just trust me... I have a feeling about this.

Feeky Magee Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) Not really. He was safe last night and a lot of people say he was safe today. Running to steal and running to stay out of a DP or running for a hit and run are 2 different things He was probably safe today by an inch, which is not enough when you have to steal bases 70+% of the time for it to be worth it. He's 9 for 20 on his career now. Soto is a flyball hitter who is striking out 34% of the time. The chance of a strikeout is higher than a ground ball.

Â Obviously not, but it's tough to be optimistic when you're watching an offense that advanced statistics suggest is less effective than a replacement-level AAA team.

OmarComing25 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Quintana is dead last in the majors in run support. Under 2 runs per game. I know our offense blows but they score 4.82 runs a game for Sale (and most of those are a waste unfortunately). Why do our hitters hate Q so much?

But it wasn't because Avi isn't a base stealer why he was out at 2nd. I think Avi has the tools to steal 15 bags a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Bonifacio is absolutely terrible. I really loved his signing at the time, but he's shown nothing this year and Robin isn't even using him appropriately (not that it would likely matter). A complete waste of money.
