3 runs? Better stop there...

Then he should be real pissed at Alexi!

I think a vet with Alexei's track record gets a little more slack. The fact is Micah wasn't ready defensively and they sent him back down, nothing wrong with that.

Some clutch hitting finally!!!

Another awful effort by Alexei.

Alexi really brings the mood down.

RV show some balls and bench Alexei.

At least Melky is showing a pulse

Cut Alexei a check for 6 mil and send him on his way.

He has used up his track record for 2015. Time to show up or sit.

The White Sox haven't scored 4 runs in a game since 6/13. 9 games and counting.

The problem is Beckham is the back up. That is not anything more than a game to game solution.

Yes, first time since 1976 when they did it 10 games. Scored 15 runs in those 10 games.

I agree Sox are screwed right now, but Alexi can't be starting SS in 2016.

Just curious, do you know you spell his name wrong, or do you just not care?

Yes. I posted in another thread the pitchers, especially Samardzpjiza were gettimg very frustrated with Micah's defense. And it isn't like he was raking offensively.

He wasn't raking, but he was holding his own as rookie, which doesn't happen often with Sox farmhands. Either way, if you go by WAR, Sanchez has provided less overall value than Micah on a per game basis. I don't view WAR as the end-all-be-all, but it should be clear to any U.S. of watching these games on a daily basis that Sanchez has been incredibly bad and has shown no signs of improving. He will no doubt get better at some point if we keep feeding him at-bats, but the kid is simply a slap hitter and one who is unlikely to get on-base at a high rate or steal a lot of bags. His offensive game is so limited that he has almost no chance of being even average starting 2B IMO despite his glove. If we're going to suffer through growing pains, at least do so with the guy who has the potential to be an above-average starter. Playing Sanchez right now is not helping in the short-term or long-term.

To my completely nonprofessional eyes, Micah's issues are his stone hands much more than something easily learnable like footwork or positioning. I just don't see him ever being even an average second baseman. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

Maybe you'll end up being right, but I think the sample size was too small to jump to any conclusions. He deserved a longer look IMO.

I care as much as he does moving runner to 3rd with no outs.

Soto is so much better than Flowers.

I'd say Soto is having a pretty productive game...

Start Soto 5 days a week and sit worthless Flowers.

Day game tomorrow and day game in Detroit on Thursday. I'm sure Alexei will sit one of them.

Soto is so much better than Flowers.

This was apparent weeks ago and it's a shame that Flowers continues to get the lion's share of the starts. Hopefully that changes soon.

Alexei, Conor, and Flowers have been and will always be the worst culprits. If the Sox want to continue to lose then by all means keep running Alexei, Conor, and Sanchez out there.

Eh. You need your memory checked. Micah was on pace for a historically bad defensive season. In fact his dwar was worse than all 3 of those players despite playing less than of of their games. You cant have that on an already terrible defensive team.

 

Don't really care who is at 2b, but it can't be Micah unless he's proved drastically.

Start Soto 5 days a week and sit worthless Flowers.

 

Start Flowers when Sale starts and that is it

That will work.
