Richie

Very nice run/hit and Anderson falls... lol

Would like to see Tim run at some point here.

Come on offense... String a few hits together. Dying over here.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 01:49 PM) How does Tampa Bay have only 2 runs? Yeah, it feels like we're getting our asses kicked. Really lucked out the past few innings.

Man. Mallex Smith can really fly. I liked him when he was up last year. Had a great first month when Kiermier went down, and then sort of faded. He has some fun tools, though.

It's way too early in the season for me to dislike this team, but the last few days have been rough...

Lead-off double The cue for our bats to take a snooze

Moncada continues to rake

Turn on the game as the Rays go up 1-0. 32 pitch inning for Gonzalez. This is already shaping up to be another fun White Sox home game. lol

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 11:13 AM) They have pushed it back to 1:30. I feel sorry for the vendor that draws dipping dot duty today. Saw that on Twitter right after my post. And ha... it would suck. However, at the same time. Ain't nobody buying dipping dots in the snow. So long as you bundle up, you're basically getting paid to sit at a baseball game. Doing nothing.

An hour until first pitch... Looks like they're still planning on playing this thing?

Rays only -140 favorites in this game... Hard for me to envision a win.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 09:35 AM) My friend had an extra ticket to the Cubs Brewers game on Saturday so I decided to go with him know there wouldn't be a delay, postponement, or watching in 20 degree weather. F***ing awesome watching a game comfortably when its like 20 degrees out. The final result sucked, however. Been to Miller Park a handful of times. What a great place to watch a game. Retractable roof is the way too go in this climate. IMO I'm a purist in football. I think battling the elements is apart of the nature of that sport. Baseball? Snow, freezing rain, cold... etc... It has no place.

Wouldn't mind if this game is just called and we get to the point where the weather is warming up tomorrow. Had enough of watching baseball in Bears weather.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 03:35 PM) The whole exit velocity argument should only illustrate how important it is for him to put the ball in play more. Currently, he might as well have PK wheels because he does nothing to utilize his speed. He had a .314 OBP coming into this game. You hit the ball hard. Hits will come. That simple. Tried and true.

My god... DP Abreu Of course

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 01:56 PM) Or how did Detroit score 15 runs over the last 2 games? All of their players must have grown up in the f***ing Yukon I mean, there's only been one homer in this series by Goodrum. Barely got out. It's not like they've been crushing the baseball. There's no denying that the ball has been dying here. (As Abreu's does as I go to submit this)

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 01:51 PM) Weird. How did the Sox score 14 runs with multiple homers on opening day in KC then? Was pretty cold that day too. Eh... when the temperature gets around the freezing mark. Things get weird with baseballs... and footballs for that matter (field goals... etc..)

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 02:33 PM) True true. This is starting to look like 2013 offense. Kind of pathetic to watch. Going back and forth between this and the Indians game this last inning. That game is a carbon copy of this. Nothing going offensively. Jason Hammel looks like Pedro over there... Also heard them say Ramirez is 2 for 23 to start the year and Lindor is without an extra base hit. Brantley hit a ball to left that the announcers yelled about off the bat like it was gone. The left field started back hard, but then just camped. Ball is dying and nothing is getting going offensively in this weather.

Just realized that Mike Fiers has "Fiers" tattoo'd across his right forearm. He might as well have tattoo'd "I'm white trash" on there instead.

Rey looks good. Shouldn't have had that turn into a 26 pitch inning, but he looks pretty good. BTW... the offense has gone in the crapper since I made my first post here. Which was right after Leury doubled in Davidson on Thursday. I suck...

I feel like that Abreu HBP was retaliation for Giolito hitting 3 guys yesterday. Feel like this could turn into some stupid scuffling

RISP less than two outs... Failed again. My god

Rocky 1st inning for Rey

Thinking about betting the White Sox. I like them to win today, but that always scares me. I never trust myself with them.
