And George Mitterwald. And Hal Narragon.

Tischinski and Sevcik,,not so much.

I know it is SSS, but Santana is o-fer against LHP. My amateur eye has always viewed Danny's RH hitting as weaker than the left.

 

Baseball Reference seems to agree with you.  Very small sample size.

Try your other eye next time... See if that helps him.

I miss Camilo Pascual.

 

I miss when the biggest complaint was why can't we get past the first round of the play-offs...

[Aggies7]

Just in case anyone has forgotten....we do indeed still suck.

[HitInAPinch]

rat farts...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Sale has settled in.

I'm not sold on that.

[Craig Arko]

I don't, but you can if you like.

Tischinski and Sevcik,,not so much.

I'm not sold on that.

[Craig Arko]

Junior Ortiz and Henry Blanco.

rat farts...

And?

 

This is the start of a joke, right?

[HitInAPinch]

Bill Zepp.

Frazier showing Plouffe-like range there

 

I really hate that the White Sox can play defense now.

 

 

[Riverbrian]

 

And?

 

This is the start of a joke, right?

 

I was thinking punchline but maybe. 

[Aggies7]

The twins make mistakes that a poorly coached high school team makes.

And?

Midwestern response to something you don't like.  Like Polanco getting tag out at 2nd.

[howeda7]

Santana needs to not play every day. Ugh. 

[ScrapTheNickname]

Polanco!

Polanco oh oh

[USAFChief]

I'm probably just an old fart forgetting the bad and remembering only the good, but it seems to me the quality of baseball played today isn't up to the standards of my youth.  How do you get trapped of second on a ground ball to short?  That's little league stuff.

[Craig Arko]

Santana needs to not play every day. Ugh.

 

Agreed. Taking his regular turn in the rotation should be sufficient.

Not to be an a$$, but that's literally the worst joke I've ever heard.

I believe you're right. Approximately 1,000 men will play in the big leagues this year. That is nearly double the number of players in 1959 when there were only 16 teams. (and you probably are an old fart?)

I'm not too worried about Polanco wandering too far off second on a grounder to short. All part of the learning process. Most rookies make a couple of those. It won't cost us the World Series this year.

 

Not to mention the well struck double he had off of Sale.

Yep - when teams had 3 AAA clubs and classifications went to D.

[USAFChief]

You're having a bad day career when Dioner Navarro is 2-2 with 2 doubles off you.

[USAFChief]

 

Yep - when teams had 3 AAA clubs and classifications went to D.

And players didn't come up to the big leagues until they knew how to play the game.
