Half-full? Hardly

White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal walked four times in last night’s 9-1 Sox win over the Royals, which gives him thirteen walks in four games, a feat only Grandal, Babe Ruth and Bryce Harper have accomplished in MLB history. Grandal now has 26 walks on the season to go with seven hits. You could point to Grandal’s .388 OBP and say, “Wow!”. Or you could point to his .121 BA and .259 slugging percentage and say, “Holy Crap!” or words to that effect. Put me in the second category. Apparently, so is ex-Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, who’s taken his displeasure with Grandal’s performance to Twitter. So much for Guillen taking over the reins if and when Tony La Russa exits. The Sox front office is a lot like it ownership, which is a lot like Fight Club, where the less said the better. Oh, well. Maybe if Sox starters keep pitching like it’s the mid-1960s, everything will be OK. If only the hitting didn’t look like it’d reverted to back then, too.
