What performance award is being discussed for Miguel Vargas?
Should we award Miguel Vargas with the he deserves better award for his performance in the White Sox 9-6 loss to the Twins last night? Should we award Miguel Vargas with that award on any given day? Miguel Vargas and the work that he has put in has been nothing short of impressive. It started last year. He kept at it. And I think that's where he's gotten to this point now. You can't look at him and say he's not putting in his 110, yes, I said it cliched, percent. Because that's what it feels like is happening here. It's been an incredible run for him. And most importantly, it's helping his team.
How did Miguel Vargas' recent game impact his team's performance?
And to continue with what he did yesterday, where I don't care what you say. I know Joe Ryan is going to get his, and he is the stopper for Minnesota. And he didn't do the best time or the best job facing the Sox the last time. Getting four runs off of Joe Ryan is nothing to be ashamed of over six innings. That's pretty impressive. But then to understand that Vargas had two home runs in the game, What more can you say about the guy and the adjustments he's made to become his best hitting self? So yesterday, perhaps not because you're facing Joe Ryan at home. But overall, Miguel Vargas deserves better from all of us.
See, I think Miguel Vargas is getting the credit that he is due. He's on a team that is, if the playoffs started today, he'd be on a playoff team. I think that's powered by Miguel Vargas in part.
Well, usually it's about if the outcome is not favorable to the team, did that individual deserve better?
Oh, no. That's what I'm saying. I think he's getting what he deserves on the course. Because you brought up all the season stuff and the turnaround that he's had. I think everything the White Sox have been able to do to have them positioned to compete is because, in part, Miguel Vargas. So I think he's getting exactly what he deserves. Last night, you made the call on Joe Ryan. Very good pitcher. Although, you know, Miguel Vargas obviously not scared. Sox hitters weren't scared yet again. Sox pitching.
David Sandlin, that's a tough ask to see the same team twice in a row.
Out of the gate as a major league starter.
He struggled with his command, and I think there were some ball he would like back. You know, when it comes to maybe don't throw back-to-back curveballs, and then he hang one. Didn't have quite the same snap. You're right about that.
Miguel Vargas is going to be an all-star if he just does what he's been doing. And he has a chance to be an all-star starter. See, I went up with that.
The thing about third base is it is not filled with a ton of talent in baseball. You know, there's that part of it.
Are we still voting for starters last time I checked, right? In Major League Baseball? So, like, the White Sox fans are awake now out of their coma, right? if they were in one, because three straight 100-loss seasons. For me, it's him and Jose Ramirez and Junior Caminero. Caminero's got the closest specs that match up with the guy who's leading all of Major League Baseball in home runs and RBI as a third baseman, and he has a higher OPS. Jose Ramirez is having a down year, batting .228, just a .738 OPS, only eight home runs so far, although he has 20 stolen bases.
He's Jose Ramirez.
Yeah, so...
That's kind of the deal here, kids.
So does he have to wait another year? Or can the city of Chicago propel him to being the starting third baseman for the American League? That should be the thing that they're striving for. That's what he deserves. He deserves to be the starting third baseman on the American League All-Star team. That's what he deserves. Can we get him there? I'll be voting for Miguel Vargas.
Are you going to do another revival where you ask people to vote?
I will. When the time comes, when voting starts, I'll be doing that.
Five on it.
Number two.
The White Sox Alumni Home Run Derby is going down on July 11th. Here are the participants. Oh, my goodness. Jose Canseco, Scott Posadnik, Gordon Beckham, Leory Garcia.
Yeah, Leory!
Daniel Polka. And Alexei Ramirez.
Alexei! Yes! Is it okay to make a joke here?
