Bryant not hitting for power but has 16 walks already, which is 33% of the Sox team total.

I can't really blame Hahn too much, literally everyone is underperforming, even guys like Sale and Quintana. I can't really hold him too responsible when nearly everyone is on pace for their career-worst season.

Dead last in HRs, second to last in hits, dead last in runs scored, dead last in baserunning, 4th worst in starting pitching ERA, near the bottom in defense. The only bright spot is the bullpen (6th in ERA). At this point all the projections saying 78-79 wins look optimistic.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 07:59 PM) LOL. LOL is right, White Sox fans are a miserable bunch sometimes.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) The bad Sox showed up again today. This looks a lot of the same to me, folks. Pretty much identical team to last year except our bullpen is a lot better and we might not blow as many games when we're acutally leading late. Except I would take last year's offense if I could, 13th in runs scored vs. 26th this year.

QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 02:42 PM) He's hitting .234 and striking out 35% of his ABs. I'll stick with "struggles". But he did have a good day today, so...hooray? Well .261 after today but your point still stands.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) A team would be nuts to pay him over 20 mil a year. Exactly, no thanks. Then again, there's only like 10-15 pitchers I'd want for 20 million a year.

If Conor keeps this up Davidson would not have to do much to be better.

I have to admit I don't understand the "team looks lifeless" comments. Is it because they aren't hitting? What do you want them to do exactly? We just saw them in a brawl a few days ago where several of our guys went a little overboard. I am very frustrated with how they're playing too but I don't get that complaint.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 01:46 PM) They have also played fewer games than most teams. Yeah what's our per-game ranking? Not saying the offense hasn't been mostly a major disappointment but with all the games we missed so far the total numbers are meaningless.

Whether or not our bullpen is "elite", can we at least all agree that so far this year's version has been a heck of a lot better than last year's dumpster fire?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 07:44 PM) Another thing, maybe we want to actually get to .500 before we start considering any aspect of our team "elite" maybe. http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/pitching/split/128 Maybe when we enter the Top 10 in the majors for bullpen ERA, for example...or top 3-5. http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/p...ded/order/false Opposing OPS, 9th. http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/p...ded/order/false WHIP, just 17th. Not nails. At least not yet. Once again, if they put up KC's numbers for the next 15-20 games, we can revisit this thread again. Let's not confuse ROBERTSON is the truth and conflate it with the rest of the pen, because if you strip out his numbers we're a bottom 1/3rd bullpen surely. Meh Kyle Drabek and Rodon's shaky debut skew those numbers a little. Robertson has been dominant, but Duke and Jennings have good stats too and that's with the defense screwing them both over several times. Petricka and Albers have also looked good in small sample sizes, and since giving up the HR Putnam has been solid. This pen has been light years better than last year's pen so far.

I know we like to joke that KC have a bunch of BABIP magicians but the Tigers as a team have a BABIP of 0.343 right now.

A little disappointed in the overreactions by Sale and Shark but man f*** the Royals. They've played 4 teams this year and cleared the benches with three of them. One lucky playoff run due to Oakland s***ting the bed multiple times and now the players think they are baseball royalty. Punk ass b****es, Madison Bumgarner is my hero.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 08:47 PM) You were 100% wrong. 100% wrong? He did say 1% chance

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) That's just white sox baseball. Most other teams actually can hit No that's pretty much baseball now, guys are striking out more than ever across the league.

I think the Royals are my new #1 hated team. It's not really that close either.

A ton of pitches thrown already once again, so annoying.

Kendry f***ing Morales, are you s***ting me.

Sit down Raburn.

Duke pitched yesterday, why waste him on a 6 run lead? Let Albers or Putnam pitch.

Abreu has 16 hits on the year, and 10 of them have gone for extra bases. Awesome.

f*** yeah Abreu.

Nice! One more Jeff, come on.

Any chance Jeff can go 1 more?
