2020-08-04: White Sox (Giolito) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers lose, 3-2 -- Brewers’ 2-run lead slips away for the 2nd consecutive night]

[folly412]

I am left with the decision on which pitcher to start on 2 of my fantasy teams. I'm just going to start them both and see what happens. lol

 

This seems to be working out well.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Giolito is good, bit this offense is zero fun when Yelich isn't Barry Bonds.

[dlk9s]

Hiura's arm seems ok.

[Eye Black]

That is one of the better defensive plays I’ve seen Hiura make in his young career. Huge play to keep the run off the board.

[folly412]

Hiura's had some nice defensive plays so far. Limited sample, but not sure if he had any samples last year that were even passable.

[PinaMadness]

Domingo who?

[Eye Black]

Ben Gamel and Christian Yelich may have swapped baseball abilities.

[markedman5]

Yes!

[folly412]

Domingo who?

 

Where's the guy from last year who was convinced beyond all evidence that it was the worst trade ever? Still have Zavolas in the minors on top of it.

[PinaMadness]

When's the last time one of our pitchers had a shutdown inning after the offense put up a crooked number the prior half inning? Seriously.

[markedman5]

It was fun fir a few minutes........man this Sox lineup,is stacked

[yourout]

That was pretty weak sauce by nevarez on the Grandahl pop up

Woodruff against them pirates 2 games ago

[adambr2]

Hiura and Yelich are just killing us. And we don't have much else.

[yourout]

To my admittedly untrained eye yelich swing has more launch angle in it this year.

[Eye Black]

The amount of pitches Christian Yelich has been swinging right through this season is incredible. It’s not a like a tough luck slump where he’s scorching the ball right at people. He’s not even fouling pitches off for the most part, but rather just straight up whiffing.

Sogard at SS has to end.

Sogard at SS has to end.

 

Who else on this roster do you suggest replacing him?

I’d rather play Arcia all 60 games than see Sogard and that rag arm he has at SS. It’s bad enough we have Hiura at 2B with that noodle arm.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

So...this team doesn't seem to be very good? Obviously, it's eight games, and our MVP is hitting like late-Craig Counsell.

 

But it also feels like we should be about 1-7.

[Eye Black]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Luis Urias get some starts at shortstop this season.

At least when Arcia boots the ball and throws it away it's flashy and exciting, instead of boring Sogard errors.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Sogard at SS has to end.

 

That really was an all-time bad throw. He had an eternity to set himself.

[adambr2]

You really have to squint hard at this roster to believe that this is a good team. It feels kind of like looking at your gas gauge from a different angle to convince yourself that you're not really on empty yet.

[pacopete4]

Arcia has his own warts but he's at least a major league SS. If you think otherwise, the conversation can end there.
