Good way to blow out a knee there

Darkside: the Champion of the Minuscule Sample.

Are you serious? You said he was an elite hitter based on a smaller sample dude.

No I didn't.

It's not based on a sample of anything other than me watching him swing the bat. Old school. Just wait until he's batting cleanup for some contender that isn't the White Sox. You'll be happy then.

You mean a small sample of seeing him swing the bat?

Did his swing look elite during his 0 for 4 last night?

Just out of curiosity.... are you saying a player can improve by leaving the sox and going to a better team?

No. I'm saying Palka is a big time hitter. It would be nice if he shows his best in a Sox uniform but I doubt that occurs.

I thought you were a believer in "players are who they are" and the team they play for doesn't matter?

Does it sound like I'm saying the team he plays on is going to affect him? I'm just saying that, like Darkside, I'm certain the Sox have no clue how good he is. He should be a key piece of their rebuild. Instead he'll just be a piece in a trade, probably for some junk.

Dan Pasqua was way better than this guy. Waaaay better.

Yes, it does sound like that.



You're instead saying you think he won't be given an opportunity. Well I'm not sure what you'd call the last couple of months.

No, that's not what I'm saying either. Read the words I type or ask Boilermaker Rick to interpret.

No way. Just watch.

But Paaqua had that

Pasqua cost them the 93 World Series. Ask Bo Jackson.

Nope. It's another JORR analysis spot-on like with Quintana.

Old Small Sample Darko at it again!

I'd have to go through the game logs and break it out but I'm sure there may have been a 25 decision stretch with the Sox where he was 5 or 6 games over .500.

August 27 2016 thru August 26 2017 Q was 14-9 over 31 starts for the Sox

The interesting thing is that his numbers are similar to when he was with the sox but hes winning at a much greater clip.

Quintana is one game over .500 this season? As noted above, Q had good stretches with the Sox too.

He is who he is. After 100-120 starts with the Cubs, his win% will be somewhere between .490-.510. Not that you can't win with a guy like that, but he isn't a stopper or true #1 like Lester has turned out to be.
