OK, Whatever

So, one day after I rip into Luis Robert Jr. he goes 3-for-4 with two doubles. I’ll take the credit, thank you very much. It’s also worth noting that Tim Anderson and Yoan Moncada went a collective 0-for-6, though Moncada did manage two walks and a run scored in the White Sox 7-3 win over the Angels. I’m at the point now where it’s better to go with the flow rather than get worked up over the state of things. Rick Hahn did his Rich Hahn thing Monday, telling reporters, “The frustration we all felt in April, we haven’t rinsed ourselves of it.” [today’s Tribune] Who talk like that? Oh, right, Rick Hahn. Scout’s honor, I’ll try to focus more on the positive, like Jake Burger picking up three hits and Romy Gonzalez getting himself a double and a homerun. Since coming off the IL, Gonzalez is 10-for-31 with eleven RBIs. He should keep playing second base until he cools off, if he cools off. Signing Elvis Andrus for second was an afterthought by Hahn. Time to see if his initial idea of going with Gonzalez was the right one. That would officially make him the proverbial stopped clock getting it right twice in a day. Andrew Vaughn collected three RBIs last night on a bases-clearing double, which now gives him thirty-nine RBIs and twenty-four extra-base hits on the season. Compare that to twenty RBIs and eight extra-base hits for the departed Jose Abreu. Then we have Andrew Benintendi, like Tim Anderson, still waiting for his first homerun, 199 at-bats into the season and counting. I did call Hahn a broken clock, right?
