I saw you posted this and said to myself - Iddy is back for more punishment.

 

[Jiddy]

My official take is that we've only lost one series so far so our losing record is an MLB screwjob.

 

[Jiddy]

Also, I'm with Iddy....Zack Collins is absolute garbage. I've seen enough. Grandal needs to stay healthy until we ship him back to the minors.

The Panther is back - Madrigal and Vaughn do their jobs and Timmy does his Timmy!

Collins would probably catch this 4th inning better than Grandal has - I don't understand the catcher interference calls and the lack of smothering balls in the dirt.

simple ... as i've said all along, they both suck behind the plate and i'm wishing the sox had kept their best catcher.

I never thought I had a stronger arm than an mlb player. I’m confident mine is stronger than Madrigal

 

[idseer]

wow! abreu and moncada BOTH over .200!

 

[idseer]

bummer is not closer material imo.

so glad now we got hendriks.

 

[Jiddy]

We needed Hendriks. lulz. But I do trust him way more than Colome after really watching him well this first part of the season. Has that closer swagger.

Back to .500...So that begs the question: How do we lose tomorrow?

 

[idseer]

beginning to think we all have over-estimated the quality of our relief pitching. strong arms yes. quality .... not so much. foster, heuer, crotchet and bummer are not all that. at least at this point. hopefully this changes but it sure brings to mind the saying that you cannot judge this year's relief pitcher on last year's performance. more than any other position they can be up and down. very few exceptions to this. i'm feeling good about marshall, hendriks and kopech ( tho he may trade places with cease at some point and i have no idea what kind of reliever cease could be). can't say anything bad about ruiz but i haven't seen him much.

I hope this was the game to get Abreu going.

I hope this was the game to get Abreu going.

My thoughts exactly. At the very least Jose will be swinging the bat with more confidence.

Anderson's rocket is loose - Eaton has proven to be an excellent 2nd in the order fellow - if the middle of the order Abreu and Moncada - either one even - get going this team is going to score some runs.

Robert very quietly hitting .310

I'm very happy with Robert's approach to becoming a solid MLB hitter. I just wish the Sox corner outfielders would shade a couple more steps toward the line - giving Robert even more room to cover center - while improving play down the line.

I want to recognize Tim Anderson's play in the field with the bases loaded on the smash past Moncada - that TA made a diving stop on to hold that at bat to one run scored. He got Rodon a win with that play.

Not only does Tim Anderson lit the fire in the White Sox offense, but he is the life blood of the dugout (especially with Eloy absent) and he makes heady plays in the field. Tim Anderson certainly rivals Jose Abreu as the most important non-pitcher on the the White Sox.
