I didn't want to hop in to the "Robin is an idiot" arguments, but I think I can see his mindset, where he'd rather just plug in some temporary players in leadoff and not mess with the players actually hitting in their lineup spots. I am not sold on it but I can understand it. But with Eaton suddenly the lineup becomes "HELL YES WHITE SOX BASEBALL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he isn't playing it is making the best of a bad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handicapping as of today, I would say Carroll is out first, and Rienzo second. But I would also say that Johnson isn't going to return unless his velocity comes back.

Not sure what happened to Carroll but that sorta sucks considering he showed a lot of promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 When is Johnson and Sale coming back? Does that mean Noesi and Carroll are gone? Don't know about Johnson or Sale, but we now have a definitive answer on when Keppinger is coming back: Never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The way the AL is going this year, the Sox had a decent chance of hanging in there for the 2nd wildcard late into the season...like a ton of teams. With Sale missing 5 starts and going 1-4 in those games...plus Eaton being out an extended period...it's really tough to win games with this current roster. I'm not giving up on this team if they get those two guys back and they magically stay healthy the rest of the season. But they really need to get winning games...like now. Minimum 18-12 the next 30.

Eminor3rd Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Oakland is arguably the best team in the AL. We shouldn't be too disappointed if they sweep us. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 After 27 games, the Sox were on pace for 900 runs scored. 14 games later, they're on pace for less than 800. Damn you, sample sizes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
