I feel there only one player on this team, ( Kwan maybe in the near future) that would keep his normal approach to hitting no matter where you put him and the lineup and that’s Jose Ramirez ,,,,,,,Guys that bat 1-5 I believe put different pressure on themselves then player that bat 6-9 , people like Paul Sorrento/ Sandy Alomar were better 8/9 hitter then they would have been 4/5/6 hitter…..

Safe to say last night won't ever happen again, soak it in, high fives all around boys, we watched some once upon a time shit.
(I said the same thing after the comeback win vs Mariners)
Small sample sizes don't count.
Kenny Lofton lead off, and he was among the best in the business.
But in 1995, his OBP was FIFTH on the team.
By this way of thinking, the order should have been...
Thome
Manny
Belle
Murray

A poster pointed out about the game not being over because the Whitesox are just undisciplined as they come and there's always a chance because DHs are everywhere.
Hats off, those errors helped dramatically

Yeah, but Naylor is batting .588 with RISP. It's not just having more runners on base. Last year he hit .182 with RISP. To me he seemed overly aggressive in those situations.
You'd think missing two-thirds of the season would negatively affect his hitting, but all those hours of having his Mom toss rolled up socks for him to hit while sitting in a chair is paying off.
I have to believe Valaika is making a difference because Naylor is not the only one that's hitting better than last year.

In all honesty, i think those odds are a bit high, that means 1 in 500. We went 626 games without a 6 run comeback in the 9th, but not for this one, we could easily gone another 626 games. That is some one in 1,000 or even 10,000 type crap that happened last night.
Naylor 2 home runs of 3+ homeruns the 9th or after has never ever been done in the history of baseball. Its such crazy shit.
