You mean the guy who managed like five years of 90 loss teams under a front office that also didn’t like analytics?

One and the same. 

[cHawk]

Buck. Yeah.

[Brock Beauchamp]

So I see we’ve entered Byron’s “8 HR in 10 days” streak he wedges between 3-37 stretches. 

[ziggy]

Why isn't Buxton hitting higher in the lineup? He looks like a number 3 or 4 hitter.

[CRF]

Well...if he's gonna keep doing that...I guess he can stay in the lineup. I bet he's back in the 3 spot tomorrow.

Who is this Buxton person?  A touted rookie I guess?

Cinderella story...

I’d like to take this moment to state that it’s really fun to watch the White Sox get the **** beat out of them.

Let's hope

And if I had to pick which team the 3 day incendiary period comes against, the White Sox would be number 1 on the list.

[Schmoeman5]

I called 2 homeruns yesterday damn you Byron

Well... when ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.

How'd you know they were 90 loss seasons but for your precious analysis of wins/losses.

No, no, no! Can't we just stay with what works!!!

[jkcarew]

That’s two AB in a row where Buxton’s been healthy!!

My prediction:

Buxton stays healthy as long as Lynn is pitching. Maybe longer.

I've started a petition to have Lynn traded to the Twins opponent for the rest of the season.  Be sure to sign it!

Was it Lynn?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Correa with a .750 xBA on that ball.

The same amount I kicked in to have them boot the ball all over the yard

The game so far tonight is what I envisioned for this team coming out of spring training. Why has it taken 3+ months to emerge?

[cHawk]

The White Sox right now:

Not the first time, but I went back.

Surprising that the announcers then joked about it. Usually they are quick to apologize.
