Over 33K at today's game. Great crowd.

Thank the Hawks.

Thank the Hawks.

Father's Day had a little something to do with it.

LaRoche's strike out rate this year compared to last year is insane.

Oh offense

Heck of a day for Melky!

Trade value, if nothing else.

LaRoche's strike out rate this year compared to last year is insane.

One thing I don't think people who defend Hahn's offseason realize is that we actually paid premium prices to bring in both LaRoche and Robertson. 1.6 and 1.4 fWAR for them last year and we're paying $13 and $10 million for them. Even if they did what they did last year we're paying premium prices for them. Makes sense if they're the "last piece" on a championship roster.

Alexei's been rolling over on that same pitch all season. He used to hit that on the line to the outfield.

Guys, Avi is in a slump. Everyone gets one. Just a matter of getting through it.

Avi's whole career is a slump. He's a below average career hitter who hasn't shown any signs of getting better and this combined with his awfulness in every other aspect of the game makes him a below-replacement player. About -1.5 WAR for his career. And don't give me this "for his age" thing, at similar ages his statistics are pretty much identical to Dayan Viciedo's.

 

He's exactly the kind of guy the White Sox should be trying to compile. Under team control for several years, has talent, if he flops so what, we lose more games? Oh darn. 67 wins instead of 68.

No. The White Sox should be trying to compile players who actually produce on the baseball field. Avi's absolute upside given his awful defence and bad baserunning is what exactly, a 1-2 WAR player, even if you buy into offensive improvement out of nowhere?

Alexei's bat looks so heavy

I wonder if this season could be it for Alexei in the majors. He's made about 40 mil, and it could be tough for him to get a starting SS gig again.

Exciting pop up by Gallo

SSs are still weak enough around the league that there'll probably be a couple million and a chance at a starting slot, maybe in competition with someone or for a crappy team like the White Sox next year if he wants to go another year or two.

Hahn f*cked up not trading him at last year's deadline. Reportedly Pittsburgh wanted him but Hahn was asking for too much.

It's crazy he homered in both games of the Reds DH, and hasn't homered in any other game.

Good job, Robertson. Get him the win.

Ok, let's see a s***ty team act like the won the World Series.

Murder's Row coming up. Game should end here.

Yes, let's.

Mother's Day/Father's Day walkoff combo?

Never seen a team struggle to hit hanging pitches so badly

Time for a Sanchez walkoff.

No pinch hit here?

Hahaha, just missed walkoff

Well, that bought him another week.
