I think Hahn made a lot of good moves the past two off seasons, but I can't figure why these guys can't play to their career averages. The defense is the most disturbing aspect.



And yet, the Cubs have made more errors than the White Sox.

OK, that's one aspect of defense.

If my guy is getting to 5 extra balls in exchange for another 1 error I'll make that trade everytime.

ya pff sucks. baseball seems to be ahead of the big 4. they installed cameras to track routes taken by fielders, running speed etc. i believe only front offices are able to review the data and the select times they use it for broadcasts.

I posted before I left that I was taking my Cubs shirt.

I did see some teenager walking around in a Bears hat. I gave him a few "Arf! Arf! Arfs!" as he passed by but it didn't seem to register

This is how utterly ridiculous the complaints about "run support" have gotten. Today's Tribune headline for the White Sox recap is "Sale continues to suffer from lack of support". He gave up six fucking runs, five of them earned! The guy he was facing went an inning and a third more than he did and allowed one run. Now, I know holding this Sox team to one run isn't some great feat, but talking about "run support" in a game you lost by five runs? Give me a fucking break!

Did you actually read the article or just the headline?

Lack of support can mean more than just run support...

Bad base running...poor defense... not a whole lot about lack of run support....

From the article:

Eaton then made a careless mistake in the sixth when he paused running to first when he thought Twins shortstop Eduardo Nunez had caught his liner. Nunez hadn't and threw Eaton out at first on a close play.

"I had a Sean Casey moment to be honest with you, thought he caught it twice," Eaton said. "I thought the shortstop caught it and thought (Kennys) Vargas caught it at first. … I have to run every ball out, and there is no excuse. No play is over until the guys are walking off the field. That should be the kind of player I am."

Eaton also made one of three Sox errors, taking a bad angle on a single to center field that went through his legs. It ended up being a two-base error and allowed the Twins to score one of their runs in the seventh.

Nobody on this team can bunt, and I'm not a fan of giving away outs with such an inept offense.

There was only one out, he didn't need to get a hit to get the run in.

Whatever. If the starting pitcher gives up five earned runs in 6 innings, he's earned his loss. Do you really disagree with that?

Why don't you look up how much "run support" Sandy Koufax or Juan Marichal got in their careers?

I was at the Greinke Cub game the other night. It was an absolute pleasure to watch the Cubs win that game in extra innings without foolishly making an out on purpose.

The surest sign of insanity is watching the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The empty seats at Jerry Reinsdorf U.S. Cellular Morgue are batshit crazy!!!

It was the only series other than the Pirate series (they did us no favors in that one) that I found myself rooting for the White Sox. It was nice to watch the Cardinals lose. Sale was particularly enjoyable to watch. The Cardinals have struggled against lefties this season and that continued in this series. I have to say, I wouldn't mind seeing Sale on the North side, sticking it to the redbirds several times a year. Thanks to the South siders for small favors.

Is Sanchez' defense really so amazing that it can justify keeping him in the lineup while hitting .165?

would make more sense to put put beckham at 2B and Davidson at 3B. Davidson would also hit .165 but would hit a couple of homers too.
