"Especially in the postseason, that's where we want to get, you're going to going to be seeing guys almost every single day, every single game," Nick Madrigal said after the game. "I felt like we put some good at-bats together, we just didn't really have that one big hit for us." The White Sox usually rely on Jose Abreu for that one big hit, but at some point other members of the White Sox need to step up. It is a tough ask for Abreu to be the main run producer every day. Last series vs the Twins Yoan Moncada rose to the occasion in Abreu's absense. Other players need to follow suit. Yasmani Grandal is the first name that comes to mind. While the cathcer is drawing plenty of walks there are certain situations where a walk won't cut it. Even if he does not hit for average, he needs to drive in more runs. Grandal is constanly striking out with runners in scoring position. He needs to be better. Adam Eaton has also left alot to be desired on the offensive end. Eaton is hitting a sub par .208, yet is occupying the second spot in the batting order. If he is going to be getting the second most at-bats on the team he needs to produce more. Other guys like Vuaghn and Garica did not helped the cause either. However Vaughn gets a pass because of the difficult circumstances he has been thrust into this season. Vaughn has also had some bad luck with ball placement and his average does not relfect how hard he has been hitting the ball. The possibilty of Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert returning for the postseason should provide the White Sox offense with a jolt. The extra lineup protection will make things easier for everyone. Until then the White Sox offense needs to prove they are as advertised by producing against the games best.
