Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season VII - White Sox clean out the front office

[GatorMike]

For what it's worth, Casas doesn't have a high strikeout rate because he's chasing bad pitches.

He's got a high strikeout rate because he swings at and misses strikes more than average.

His strikeout rate isn't even that bad. And it's certainly not bad enough to negate all of the positives.

Leave it to a member of the PPG to say Casas has no plate discipline.


Totally delusional. Coming from the group who gave you such big hits like “The Japanese league has more talent than the MLB” lmao

Does calling Devers an a-hole gain you membership to the group? Also this Casas thing isn't coming from a "group". It came from an individual poster. Maybe stop being such a baby and just address a post when it comes in.

Yesterday when they were saying the well-under-.500 Mets and Padres were more respectable than the over-.500 Red Sox because they're "trying to win" might've been peak delusion.

Not a single person said this. Seriously. There is a huge problem in this thread and it's not with the people everyone thinks.

White Sox ponder move from South Side home

Sources say Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf is considering moving the organization from Guaranteed Rate Field, with selling the team as a possible option.

Gotta be trolling. What’s next? Jarren Duran is slow?

When every time a player goes up to bat, he has a 1 in 4 chance of striking out...that's not a good sign of plate discipline. He's not terrible, but the percentages could be better. Now @EverettMike, you are correct that Casas has 56 walks which is excellent. It's in fact, tied for top 10 in the AL. Casas also has over 100 strikeouts and has a WAR of 1.3 to show for it. Not great, but not terrible either. Just...meh. Ideally, Casas should be looking to draw more walks and work more favorable hitters counts. If he can drag down the strikeout percentage to below 20%, which I would imagine he should be able to do by next year or even 2025, then the Sox should be fine. That's not something unrealistic to ask of Casas either. Every high level power hitter first baseman learned to pull down strikeout totals and strikeout percentages by working counts at the plate to get more favorable hitters counts to be even more effective as a hitter. If you can't do that at an MLB level, your days at playing first base are numbered.


And with that, I think we can agree.

Actually, the exact opposite is true.

When he was looking to walk more he was an under .200 hitter with not much production. His tremendous improvement has come from looking to drive balls rather than watch them.

On the last point, yes we finally agree on something.

Looooooong time coming

Benintendi deal acts as a nail in the coffin of sorts. Winckowski for him is a W

Why don't you actually address what I said rather than behaving like a catty school girl, talking about people behind their backs? God you're pathetic.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Another poor start/shoddy defense. Just showing this team's glaring weaknesses. I would consider DHing Devers right now. It's gotta be in his head at this point. Can Turner play anywhere in the field?

 

[Johnnyduke]

If you saw that clip of Devers in the dugout, I think it's clear it's in his head. I wouldn't classify him as an a-hole but that's just me. Dude cares and knows it's killing them.

Please get Roger Clemens out of my face

Dat dem de're ball.

Missed f***ing opportunity there

Verlander, what a horse. Worth every penny.

Until October.

 

[GatorMike]

That was a rocket from Abreu.

Nice moment for the kid.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Until October.

Fair. Still good overall numbers in postseason though. He'll get you there.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

This is embarrassing. Totally falling apart and trying to blame the ump. Sad.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Until October.

Who was the pitcher on the Sox that outpitched Verlander in the playoffs like 10 years ago? Can't remember his name but it was a big game.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Abreu fitting right in with that toss.

 

[CDJ]

The defense and the lack of hitting with runners on…not a recipe for success
