His confidence is gone

It was gone on his 1st AB of the season when he struck out.  He's worried/nervous/overthinking/etc.  It's a mind game right now for this kid.  Grossmann or DanSan in the OF tomorrow. 

[Joe A. Preusser]

I remember that, I only wonder if he's reciting Playboy Playmate profiles when he does it.

Like for moderately obscure Major League reference.

And that's the funniest thing I've heard all day. Nice movie reference.

Okay, right ... not what I was getting at ... I didn't know that replay was allowed to be used in a subjective situation like that. Even the Sox announcers questioned it. And they also said before and during it should be what it was so they weren't questioning the outcome, just the process.

Yeah, that's an interesting point. I'm thinking maybe it's a new rule this year? The umps were talking with Renteria before they looked at the replay and he must have been OK with it.

The ghost of Chris Farley found its way behind home plate in Chicago tonight.

[Squirrel]

And absolutely an out at the plate.

Maybe someone else would've scored us more runs at the plate. It's not a given, though, because we really don't know. But the White Sox absolutely would've had a ton more runs without him in the outfield, and that is for certain. So without Bux maybe we'd score more runs, but we'd for certain have given up more.

Haha very funny Miguel. But we don't need you to entertain us with your Buxton impressions.

[kydoty]

 

This inning's insurance runs brought to you by Flo and Progressive.

Does this mean Buxton is Mayhem?

[Joe A. Preusser]

Last time we went 4-0...we won the World Series....foreshadowing for this year? Let's hope so.

In my mind it's a foregone conclusion.

[Pardon My Dinger]

I'm extremely bothered by the way Soto returns the ball to his pitcher.

I was wondering when the last 4-0 start was.

[akmanak]

I cant take it. Buxton has to be dropped to 7th or lower in the order. Dont send him down yet, but holy hell is that frustrating to watch.

It makes me want to kick him in the face everytime he goes to his knees to throw the ball.

Them expectations are a mighty load to bear

Bat him 9th, keep his D in the lineup.

[alskntwnsfn]

They can trade us Nate Jones if they want to keep rebuilding.

Can we still do that? Or have we used all those times up?

Undo this jinx now!

[spinowner]

 

I'm extremely bothered by the way Soto returns the ball to his pitcher.

But it's still better than Dave Engle.

[MNTSchmitt]

Jinx has been undone.

He needs to learn how to bat or get his confidence back,he can't just field batting third.

I never said anything about scoring more runs with someone else. I do know if, he gets on, we would score more runs.

[Squirrel]

He did that all last year, too. Wonder how long he's done that?

[Aggies7]

Nice play over there at 3rd by escobar

[alskntwnsfn]

Nice play Eddie! That's a big start to a late inning in a close game.

[Deduno Abides]

I'm all for giving Buxton every chance, but when he hits, I find myself thinking. . . . "I wonder how Zack Granite is doing. . ."

[Mill1634]

Did they just call Escobar a veteran? He's 28.

[Aggies7]

Look at this Duffey guy

[Mill1634]

I really like Duffey out of the pen. Has potential to be nasty, I think.
