Good starting pitching, good hitting, good relief pitching. Some clutch hitting , some steals , some small ball. One of the most well rounded victory's of the year . Good game for halway to ST. Patrick's Day and Jason Bennetti's birthday.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) Saladino is a perfect guy to play on a rebuilding club. Maybe next year he gets his 550+ PAs. Back to back 3 hit games for the 1st time in his career. RBI's, a steal . Slg % back over .400.

QUOTE (Insp @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 06:58 PM) Typical: White Sox ahead, nobody's posting. Pretty much the same as every year the Sox are out of the playoff hunt. Might be fans rooting for losses to get a better draft pick than rooting for a win. I could never do that I enjoy every Sox win.

Rodon's settled down and hopefully can make it through 6 . Pitch count at 96 with 1 out and 1 on.

2 more for the Sox . Eaton double. Melky single drives him in. Abreu singles through the hole into right. Morneau also singles to right driving in Melky. Frazier ends the inning with a GIDP. 5-2 Sox.

Good inning for the Sox to take the 3-2 lead. Saladino double , steals third .Then ANderson drives him in with a single, steals 2nd advances to third when the throw hit him and went into CF . Melky pop out but Abreu gets an infield hit to drive in Timmy . Abreu looks befuddled by Ventura's off speed pitches but managed to barely pull the low outside curve to dribble one up the 3rd base line that knocked in Anderson.

White Sox looking for their 3rd straight win. Rodon looking to continue his recent stretch of good starts.

QUOTE (harkness @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 05:06 PM) Abreu has been great lately... its pretty crazy. Hopefully he keeps that going next year - because this team is way more fun to watch when he is this guy. I'm not however going to do the whole revisionist history act... he was very pedestrian for a lot of the season: For a long time he was leading MLB in men left on base... he still ranks 144 out of 153 qualified batters or something. He left *hit ton of RBI's out there... and he still could reach 100. that's pretty crazy. Hopefully he carries it into the beginning of next year and beyond. Next year ? I thought we were going to rebuild ? Next year for another team perhaps .

I'll just go out on a limb and say Anderson is for real.He might hit more HR's then Alexei too. I think he D will also be on par if not better than Alexei . I'm not slighting Alexei in any way either.

Good job everyone bringing home the win. Off day tomorrow .

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 05:05 PM) I was hoping they'd give it one more crack before starting the rebuild but I guess everyone here gets what they want now. Should see a surge in attendance the next few years since this is what everyone wants to see. Yippee another 5 years of sub .500 baseball Isn't that what Dick just said Hahn said? If not this year than surely after next year ? S they still might give it a go next year . Probably will.

Good stuff about Hansen but a little disappointed there's nothing about Aron McRee .

Anibal Sanchez has been bad this season. Q has been good. Sox should win and Q should get a W but Q is the King of Nodecisionland so ya' never know . Eaton should be back today after yesterday's off day and Kinsler is still out.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) Is Omar for real? That was a nice win, but the fans deserved a clutch hit from Abreu or Frazier late to make it 4-0. At this point the only thing you can say about him is that he has a good eye and good contact skills. Those things never made him a good hitter before in the minors. It's great while it lasts though. Need a much bigger sample size in his case.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) Is anyone else disappointed by Tim Anderson's stolen base total? If you were to average out his SB total to a 162 game season, he would have 15 SBs. For someone with 70+ speed, that is way too low in my opinion. I think Anderson should be raking up 30+ bags a year automatically. Also for someone who doesn't walk a lot, I think he needs to maximize the situation whenever he's on base. I know that this is his rookie season but I was expecting more from him on the basepaths. Overreaction over. He got one tonight. If you look at stealing bases as an art then it should be said there is a learning curve to it. Studying and remembering pitchers pick off moves takes time With enough time , the confidence builds. I also think they rather have him concentrating on hitting and defense. Next year probably see him running a lot more .

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) The reL reason is they are rebuilding next year and don't need him to pitch 160 innings. I So where did u get 160 from?

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 05:16 PM) I think it was just stated: to retain his trade value if need be. That's just speculation. When did speculation become truth ?

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) Nice start for Gonzalez. Good win. Indeed. . Tigers turned into p****cats tonight minus the cat .

Always get the feeling the Tigers could explode at any time . Gonzalez stamina might not last much longer .

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 06:58 PM) Sox should definitely resign Gonzalez in the off season He's not a free agent until 2018 . Pretty sure he has another arbitration year in 2017. Maybe he can be a late bloomer like Rich Hill .

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 05:40 PM) Great to see Abreu murdering lefties That HR was like his last 2 , just a BOMB around 440 ft.

Gonzalez great so far . Great to see Coats and Narvaez combine for the 2nd run. Nothing at all in Narvaez'a minor league stats suggests he could hit like he has. Always had a good eye/ contact skills and continues to show that even against filthier stuff he's seeing now, Might be a while accepting that this is anything but a mirage. But hey keep it up Omar .

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) So Fulmer's innings total for the season ends at 103, a drop of nearly 50 innings compared to the previous year. I think they wanted him to avoid having any other bad starts so that the team trading for him will still look positively on how he finished. Pretty bogus reason by Hahn when its less than last year. Wonder what their real reason is.

MLB TV free game of the day. Lineup: Anderson SS Saladino 2B Cabrera LF Abreu 1B Frazier 3B A.Garcia RF Coats DH Narvaez C L.Garcia CF Spelled MiGuel and GonzaleZ wrong if any one wants to bother to fix it.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 02:49 PM) You cannot seriously think this was a marketing decision. You have to be trolling or trying to stir something up. Agreed. Marketing will not even touch rookies.They hardly focus on any players except to put their images in commercials.
