White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 18, 2019

Luis Robert (Laura Wolff / Charlotte Knights)

Luis Robert capped off an uneven week in a sensational fashion, belting two homers in a victory over Columbus. The first homer was off a pitcher, and the second homer was off … Dioner Navarro.

Zack Collins had himself a very even week, and it landed him atop Baseball America’s Hot Sheet.

Alec Hansen hasn’t walked anyone in three straight games.

Time to promote him to the major league bullpen fellas. Can’t be any worse than Kelvin Herrera.

That’s four good outings in a row for Hansen. Let’s hope he finishes strong this year.

If I was announcing the Charlotte game, I would have yelled “MICROPIG!” after Robert’s second homer, and only elaborate if the other announcer in the booth insisted.

*Cue Jason Benetti relying on his legal training to issue a restraining order barring me from any booth he is working.*

It would make more sense to yell “micro pig” after Navarro did something good – like get a strikeout on a forkball.

SSS alert- Madrigal has his BB rate over 12%.

Vaughn at W-S: 11 BBs,8 Ks

SSS but would be interested if anything Collins is doing now is showing improvement against left handers

If this Kluber guy gets his walks down I think he could be a good piece moving forward.
