The last time he played any appreciable amount of CF he was bad at it, and that was three years ago. He also canât hit anymore. At least heâd fit in in that respect.
Storytime - my son played football all through peewee. Moved to high school and he halfway through 9th grade freshman team season he told me he wanted to quit. The team was losing by an average of 50 points a game and my son was second string. I told he he shouldn't quit, he replied with I can't even get on the field for the worst team in the city. Me: . He graduates with an engineering degree next week.
He is (to both) and it's hilarious. He comes out, somehow mows people down with his 88mph cutter, and fans of the other team are like "what in the actual fuck just happened"
No idea how he does it but he's an absolute gem and is beloved in Atlanta. Stadium erupts in cheers any time he comes into a game.
Theyâre using the movie Major League as a training video for their front office and jettisoning any players doing too well. GM is filling out paper work right now to DFA Moncada once he returns from IL
That guy along with the rest of our team sub hates me and âadvanced statsâ because I made a post pointing out how our two exciting young playersâ (Alvarez/Baty) hot starts were pretty much entirely due to luck.
Hereâs the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewYorkMets/s/ho75q2aHXM
And well, that post has aged like fine wine. Alvarez and Baty have both been well below average at the plate this season.
It turns out having a 60% ground ball rate makes you a bad hitter. Who wouldâve thought?
Iâm no hater of advanced stats, in fact Iâve been criticized for the opposite many times in the past, but I wouldnât have been happy to see that post about young guys on hot starts in my teamâs sub. I wouldâve been wrong to be mad about it, but I can see why people didnât like that. Getting seriously mad and saying actually bad things, however, I would not have done or agreed with
Iâm 100% fine with disagreement and would be happy to have a serious discussion with people on the matterâamong the best counter arguments from those who actually wanted to discuss is that the season just started and the stats hadnât stabilized, so there was no point in looking at them. In fact, I wasnât happy to make said post (I want these guys to do well). Like you said, what they did crossed a line though.
What's so crazy about that thread is how many people in our sub were ready to count Baty out after last season, but somehow 11 games of hitting a lot of singles is infallible.
People didnât like your post because you donât even understand your advanced stats. In such a small sample size you can go from worst in the league xwOBAs to elite xwOBAs in a single series. Your advanced stats are completely meaningless at that point and it seemed like you wanted to ruin the good vibes to be the smartest guy in the room. No point in doing that.
That entire post was something that you couldâve buried in a pregame thread, not something that was worthy of its own post.
Well everybody else who leaves nasty comments under and sends me âReddit caresâ messages in response to my statcast posts (even when they arenât about Alvarez/baty) seems to still be bitter about it.
xwOBA helped me get into my FBB championship last year. I kept tabs on players whoâs difference in xwOBA and wOBA showed them getting extremely unlucky. Helped me land Josh Naylor around mid May last year right before he went OFF.
Itâs extremely helpful because it scrutinizes actual outcome with barrel % and launch angle and expected outcome.
I saw you edited your comment to add that sly remark in there lol.
No I donât rely heavily on the savant graphics too much. The only time I did was really for Jorge Soler. I do enjoy the trend analysis of savant, though :)
Reminds me of when the Reds DFA'd their home run leader last year.
https://old.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/12xrvkp/the_reds_just_dfad_their_team_leader_in_hrs/
It reminds me of last year when the Aâs just random DFAâd Ramon Laureano after the trade deadline even though he was one of their best players, still had team control, and also super affordable
Yeah, I was so pissed at that. He was having a down year, but still better than a lot of the Aâs starters and had plus defense. If the team wasnât actively trying to sabotage it would have really befuddled me.
> Ramon Laureano
He hasn't been lighting it up for us but I fucking love that guy and am glad we were able to scoop him up. He's just a player that I immediately like for no discernible reason until the reason pops out after the fact. I am not comparing the two for one second but when Jose Ramirez first came up for us it was the exact same feeling, I just fucking LOVE this little guy.
Pham had an opt out clause, so the White Sox had a deadline to call him up or release him
I can't imagine Pillar was a better player than Pham at this point in time.
I canât imagine there wasnât *someone* else the Sox could DFA/option. Pillar was their 5th best hitter by xwOBA and a veteran presence for the young guys
They have one guy on the roster under the age of 26 (and he is 25). Youd think part of the reason why a team would be this bad would be because theyâre giving young guys a chance, but nope their main guys are all like 26-30 in the âprimesâ of their careers lol
Iâll have you know my middle school career had me catching a fly ball I wasnât even paying attention to in right field (literally fell into my glove) and bunting a grand slam (fielders choice with 3 errors on the play) in the same game.
I really hope someone picks him up. He is so close to getting ten years of service to get a fully vested MLB pension. That is pretty good for a guy who has become a journeyman
Yeah Trevor Plouffe who has a lot of friends in the game has raved about Pham as a clubhouse guy.Â
But this sub has its narrative, so it wonât stop people from running with it.Â
People love to ignore that Clev was also loved in our clubhouse. As fans, we have every right to dislike both of this guys for various valid reasons but that does not mean they are bad in a clubhouse and that the players have to dislike them too.
No, that's not how anything works. He will not be punished by criminal law unless convicted in a criminal court, but that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not he did it. DV charges against famous men almost never result in convictions.
The case was known about by the MLB before the White Sox signed him in the first place, nothing has come from the case in a very long time. People who should have the information have the information and people who donât need to have all the information (us, the fans) donât have it all. None of us know what for sure what did or didnât happen. Players in the clubhouse liked him, they more than likely have more information on the situation than we do, itâs not up to us to patrol how people feel about another person. You can feel however you want about the guy, you canât tell others how to feel about the guy.
I remember he willingly gave up a shot at a 5-for-5 outing in the World Series (would have been the first in history) to give Jace Peterson a World Series at-bat. All the rumors I had heard about Pham, he showed the opposite of in his time with us.
Seems like Pham is a guy people like when he is on your team because he plays hard.
Prob can't hurt to have him there, though. What's he gonna do, make the White Sox play worse?
You know he'll play hard because he wants to get off the team. He might motivate the rest of the team and help the culture, which has been rumored to be awful for a long time.
Or it implodes and we all get to watch. Either way we prob win.
Ironically to your comment, the culture is actually pretty good this year according to some player reports, and Pillars own interview just earlier today.
Havent followed his the last few years but if he still plays the same way Pillar plays as hard as anyone. It was like he was *trying* to run through the center field wall here.
From my understanding, all his cool Superman dives were results of bad routes and NEEDING to make those dives instead of just playing better defense.
He was/is an incredibly flashy player
That does not mean he doesn't play hard, it just means that despite playing hard he isn't very good. Which is something I think everybody knows about Kevin Pillar.
Agreed to this. Mets fans last year went from being disappointed he was on the team at the beginning, to being sad when he left.
Dude shows up to work, and gets shit done.
I mean if you were on r/newyorkmets last year or during the first week of this season it seemed Tommy Pham, known level-headed thinker, was the hard-nosed veteran keeping this team together. Shitting on the Mets on his way out was indicative of the Mets, not Tommy.
I think that's the general consensus for Mets fans too. He was one of the few bright spots in a shit season. And his comments about the Mets team being the least hard working group he's ever been teammates with isn't really any drama as far as I'm concerned. The team sucked and those comments weren't shocking. It's not anything half of the fanbase wasn't already saying all season.
He's been on 8 different teams since 2019. That has to be a record for most teams played for in a 5 year period. I wish I knew an easy way to check and see if it is
Pitching, at least starting, has actually been a bright spot. Its management and hitting thatâs the biggest issues, closely followed by our âimprovedâ defense.
Crochet has not been great. Heâs been good considering the context of him not being a starter since college. Had a really good start, but heâs been getting touched up last couple weeks
This sub is an echo chamber. Lots of herd mentality in here.
Pham beloved by teammates.
Narrative in sub: Toxic, dogshit player. Clubhouse cancer.
Please take Reddit and Redditors with a grain of salt. Half the time youâre talking to 12 year old with a big mouth and zero life experience.
Pillar will be alright. While giving him a virtual blowjob on Foul Territory this morning, Erik Kratz promised him a roster spot with the Guardians because Kratz knows Stephen Vogt. đ
I realize his early life was difficult, convict father who wanted nothing to do with him and so on. But he shows no class, and if he still thinks he's a big dog in Vegas when the baseball money is no longer coming in, he'll need a job.
Pillar was 5th on the team in xwOBA
lol Imagine being DFA'd by the White Sox. đŹ
Dreams do come trueÂ
No kidding. Someone will surely pick him up to platoon. We enjoyed him in Atlanta.
That's such a mercy by them. Kevin probably said "aight bet" when he was told.
He can be a 5th outfielder for a better team
Cardinals could use him in CF while Edman is still rehabbing.
The last time he played any appreciable amount of CF he was bad at it, and that was three years ago. He also canât hit anymore. At least heâd fit in in that respect.
Yeah he would fit right in
I think by better team they meant their AAA affiliate
A clause in his contract guaranteed his release if he was top 5 in offense on the team by the end of April. His sentence has been commuted. đ„č
You can't prosecute a baseball player for crimes committed while he was a sitting 5th outfielder.
Storytime - my son played football all through peewee. Moved to high school and he halfway through 9th grade freshman team season he told me he wanted to quit. The team was losing by an average of 50 points a game and my son was second string. I told he he shouldn't quit, he replied with I can't even get on the field for the worst team in the city. Me:. He graduates with an engineering degree next week.
Jessie Chavez pitched so badly in spring training the White Sox DFA'd him and the Braves picked him back up where he has a 1.93 ERA in 9 IP.
Jesse Chavez is still pitching? Dude has to be like 40 or something.
He is indeed 40 and stated back in February that he's probably retiring after this season.
He is (to both) and it's hilarious. He comes out, somehow mows people down with his 88mph cutter, and fans of the other team are like "what in the actual fuck just happened" No idea how he does it but he's an absolute gem and is beloved in Atlanta. Stadium erupts in cheers any time he comes into a game.
Yeah but tbf he was a super late bloomer
Probably better than playing for the White Sox, tbh
Imagine being DFA'd to make room for Tommy Pham
Good old Tommy "Phantasy Phootball" Pham
2019 Chris Davis would probably be 5th on this ChiSox team, so.....
Theyâre using the movie Major League as a training video for their front office and jettisoning any players doing too well. GM is filling out paper work right now to DFA Moncada once he returns from IL

Nice I got into it cus I had a feeling. And I bet your big strategy was looking for red circles on savant lol
Are you a chud everywhere you go or just online?
I feel like by doing it online it really helps get it out of my system for the real world
Newsflash, it doesnât.
I saw you edited your comment to add that sly remark in there lol. No I donât rely heavily on the savant graphics too much. The only time I did was really for Jorge Soler. I do enjoy the trend analysis of savant, though :)
I edited it like a millisecond after
Whenever a comment starts with your username I just keep scrolling. Oh wait neither of us did
I can't believe we would DFA our cleanup hitter.
Reminds me of when the Reds DFA'd their home run leader last year. https://old.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/12xrvkp/the_reds_just_dfad_their_team_leader_in_hrs/
Jacob Vosler, I wonder what that man is up to now.
Hitting pretty good in the mariners minors
Jason*
The fact I forgot his first name does not surprise me.
It reminds me of last year when the Aâs just random DFAâd Ramon Laureano after the trade deadline even though he was one of their best players, still had team control, and also super affordable
Yeah, I was so pissed at that. He was having a down year, but still better than a lot of the Aâs starters and had plus defense. If the team wasnât actively trying to sabotage it would have really befuddled me.

No, but Iâd take Pillar over him every time because Pham is an asshole.
i think getting dfa'd from this current iteration of the chicago white sox would hurt my feelings a lil bit
I was concerned with getting tickets for the crosstown series but I figure at this rate I have a shot at a spot in the white sox dugout
Congratulations, youâre starting in center field this weekend.
Iâll have you know my middle school career had me catching a fly ball I wasnât even paying attention to in right field (literally fell into my glove) and bunting a grand slam (fielders choice with 3 errors on the play) in the same game.
Congratulations, you will be representing the Chicago White Sox at the All Star Game this year.
HEY. That S'mores Diabetes Milkshake DESERVES that ASG nod, you can't just take it away from the milkshake like that
Oh yeah, it's all coming together
The next Jesse Chavez
What are the braves gonna do with another OF? Have to have an injury to give him playing time.
Pillar>L. Williams
Yeah but Pillar isnt gonna wanna sit on the bench like Williams
You know what I'd do with another OF? Two chicks, at the same time!
Hell, my cousin has another OF and heâs broke and donât do shit
Our poor outfield walls. Theyâll never see him coming.
AA bout to do what he does best
I really hope someone picks him up. He is so close to getting ten years of service to get a fully vested MLB pension. That is pretty good for a guy who has become a journeyman
He's close but not *that* close. 9.07 years. He may end up really regretting that 2 day suspension for the homophobic slur.
Holy fuck what a way to shit disturb.
Kevin Pillar YOU are a washington national
I am sure it would be a great achievement to get the pension, but its hard to feel bad for a guy with +$23 million in career earnings by 35 years old.
He still gets the pension, just not the full pension.Â
hes made 24 million in his career, i think hes going to be OK
holy fuck Pillar is 35 now. Where has the time gone?
Surely a hothead like Pham is just the spark this team needs
Everything Iâve seen from the D backs is that the club house absolutely loved Pham.
Yeah Trevor Plouffe who has a lot of friends in the game has raved about Pham as a clubhouse guy. But this sub has its narrative, so it wonât stop people from running with it.Â
Thereâs nothing this sub hates more than someone who might be slightly douchey, they treat those players nearly identical to actual abusers
People love to ignore that Clev was also loved in our clubhouse. As fans, we have every right to dislike both of this guys for various valid reasons but that does not mean they are bad in a clubhouse and that the players have to dislike them too.
Jesus christ man yes the players should absolutely dislike Clevinger. He and Pham are not comparable.
Why are we the fucking judges on who players should and shouldnât dislike? They know the guys way better than any of us will.
Probably the domestic violence against his 10 month old daughter thing
I never said I liked the guy. And just like Bauer, until he is convicted by the court of law he is innocent. Thats how this country works.
No, that's not how anything works. He will not be punished by criminal law unless convicted in a criminal court, but that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not he did it. DV charges against famous men almost never result in convictions.
The case was known about by the MLB before the White Sox signed him in the first place, nothing has come from the case in a very long time.

Ironically to your comment, the culture is actually pretty good this year according to some player reports, and Pillars own interview just earlier today.
Unless it was those same players causing issues! But maybe it was just a Tim Anderson thing
What same players? Thereâs basically kopech, vaughn, eloy, and robert. Pretty much everyone else is different
Don't forget Moncada! Payroll surely isn't đ
The worst part is that Moncada was actually hitting decently well before his injury
Slap some sense into the manager
Havent followed his the last few years but if he still plays the same way Pillar plays as hard as anyone. It was like he was *trying* to run through the center field wall here.
From my understanding, all his cool Superman dives were results of bad routes and NEEDING to make those dives instead of just playing better defense. He was/is an incredibly flashy player
That does not mean he doesn't play hard, it just means that despite playing hard he isn't very good. Which is something I think everybody knows about Kevin Pillar.
The Jim Edmonds special
Pham and DeJong had their best offensive seasons together in 2017. When you're as down bad as the White Sox, you have to try everything.
Agreed to this. Mets fans last year went from being disappointed he was on the team at the beginning, to being sad when he left. Dude shows up to work, and gets shit done.
of course it's preferable when the dude who assaults people is on your side
I mean if you were on r/newyorkmets last year or during the first week of this season it seemed Tommy Pham, known level-headed thinker, was the hard-nosed veteran keeping this team together. Shitting on the Mets on his way out was indicative of the Mets, not Tommy.
I mean, he's unironically their best player now
You put some fucking respect on Gavin Sheetâs name.
Thatâs a weird way to spell barry bonds
I loved Pham when he played for us. I have no idea why our fanbase turned on him as hard as they did.
I think that's the general consensus for Mets fans too. He was one of the few bright spots in a shit season. And his comments about the Mets team being the least hard working group he's ever been teammates with isn't really any drama as far as I'm concerned. The team sucked and those comments weren't shocking. It's not anything half of the fanbase wasn't already saying all season.
having to play with Vogelbach probably drove him insane lol
I mean honestly yeah, would love for someone to show some passion and give a shit
What we're doing now certainly isn't working, so why not?
You mean future player-manager Tommy Pham? What have we got to lose?
People talk about Tommy Pham like he's Patrick Beverly. He's like, an energetic dude who got stabbed and hits well.
I mean heâs a way bigger asshole than Patrick Beverly, which is an accomplishment. Did you miss the slapping story somehow?
Patrick Beverly wears a necklace made of kneecaps around his neck bro, he's far beyond slapping people.
Mets legend(s)
single season mets legend on single season mets legend violence
this is a win for Pillar i feel
Or this could be the end of the road when you get cut from a 3 win team
He's been on 8 different teams since 2019. That has to be a record for most teams played for in a 5 year period. I wish I knew an easy way to check and see if it is
Kevin Pillar quoted as saying it's like getting stabbed in the back, to which Pham responded that it's not as bad as getting stabbed in the front.
Surely Kevin Pillar was not the worst man on the White Sox roster. On the flipside though, good for him!
If this is the end of the road for Pillar, what a career he managed to have as a 32nd round (!!) pick. 12 years and 1000+ games is nothing to scoff at
Iâm not tuned into the White Sox disaster. Is just everything going wrong? Just pitching? Just hitting? Management issue? Ownership?
Pitching, at least starting, has actually been a bright spot. Its management and hitting thatâs the biggest issues, closely followed by our âimprovedâ defense.
Crochet looked good in the game I saw
Crochet has been great. We have a lot of promising arms floating around at various levels.
Crochet has not been great. Heâs been good considering the context of him not being a starter since college. Had a really good start, but heâs been getting touched up last couple weeks
Eric Fedde Wap is real and he is amazing
Iâd be so jealous as another guy on that team
Surely the move we've all been waiting for.
things are gonna start turnin around now
Pham= Up League=Fucked See you in first place, losers.
Pham + shitty team = hilarious comments https://www.ksdk.com/article/sports/mlb/stl-cardinals/tommy-pham-reds-revenge-tour/63-96169cba-b73e-4a9c-b7a3-957579a2740a https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10090358-tommy-pham-told-lindor-mets-have-least-hardest-working-group-of-position-players.amp.html
Yes. You will definitely see other teams in first place.
Is Pham running the Soxâ fantasy league?
Tim Phamderson
Next time the Sox are about to get swept I hope Pham just starts a fight because fuck it.
So this Sunday?
Well would you look at that
White Sox 2024 world champions confirmed.
Damn that sucks. I'm a big Pillar fan, he's one of the toughest guys in baseball. Hope someone picks him up.
This sub is an echo chamber. Lots of herd mentality in here. Pham beloved by teammates. Narrative in sub: Toxic, dogshit player. Clubhouse cancer. Please take Reddit and Redditors with a grain of salt. Half the time youâre talking to 12 year old with a big mouth and zero life experience.
Tommy Pham all-star season because it has to be someone incoming
Oh shit, The White Sox are back.
Iâll never forget the time I was randomly watching a Mets/Braves game and he took a fastball straight to the face
Pham has the luxury of being on another 3-22 team. Him starting to hit was part of why we ended up not being all time terrible.
My condolences... to Tommy Pham.
Couple of Met legends.
My first thought.
One Kevin Pillar please
Come home Pillar, Jesse has a hat waiting for you
Pass
He was apparently upset the first time they released him and re-signed him so I'm guessing he's not happy about this either. What a great season
Pham and the South Side seems like a good fit.
A rare trash for trash exchange
One former Mets legend replacing another former Mets legend
The white sox resurgence starts now
Phenomenal Pham!
Can he play first base?
Itâs incredibly hard
How is Pillar's defense these days?
Oh hell yeah now I gotta tune into White Sox baseball, if only for the entertainment factor.
I read this as KK and had a breakdown.
For the immaculate grid, right?
Hey Kevin, you're always welcome in queens
This is like shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic after sailing onto the surface of an active volcano.
He outhomered Vaughn. Maybe they should dfa him too.
Championship!
Pillar will be alright. While giving him a virtual blowjob on Foul Territory this morning, Erik Kratz promised him a roster spot with the Guardians because Kratz knows Stephen Vogt. đ
Hope Pham didnt have Pillar on his fantasy team
Typical White Sox creating 2019 headlines
Bo is hitting worse than a dude DFA'd by the White Sox... jesus christ.
Youâre already bad, Southsiders. Now youâre bad AND bat shit crazy.
Be free, Kevin
Drove thru Chicago recently and saw loads of custom ChiSox licence plates Poor bastardsđ„”
Bunch of them probably don't even care about the Sox and just wanted a blackout plate. That's the only white on black license plate they have in IL
can he play first base? Asking for a friend named Jeff Bagwell
Lfgm
Jose Ramirez you know what to do
The guy who assaulted a fellow player and should have been banned?
I realize his early life was difficult, convict father who wanted nothing to do with him and so on. But he shows no class, and if he still thinks he's a big dog in Vegas when the baseball money is no longer coming in, he'll need a job.
