Oh no. Baserunners passed each other?

Jose Abreu is amazing. Beautiful high deep HR.

Just to see if anybody knows greg-isms. If I were to comment on Nate right now, what would greg say?

Wat was the dugout thinking??

Tough break for Rondon. I kinda wish they'd have let him rip at the 3-0 pitch.

Bill James has written it ... it's very very rare you come back from 7 down to win. You're lucky to do it once a season.

Six straight hits. Fun Friday night at the ol ballpark.

Who cares? Lotta players like to dip. Not wise for his health but it doesn't anger me.

Nice base hit. Ugh Delmonico. Please don't hit into a DP.

Funny how almost every Sox hitter, including Cordell, has been uppercutting. Everybody's trying to hit a home run. Welcome baseball 2019. McCann with the single. Would be nice to tie it this inning.

How can u not love Jose Abreu. Seriously folks. He's Mr. Sox. Sox down by 2.

Timmy baby. Great stolen base. Great jump, great speed. Love it.

OK, now it's a game ... I think.

Thank u!!!! I just watched it. I bet u he's not out but a day or two. I mean ankle sprains are not that bad and he was walking off.

Would love to see video of Eloy injury somewhere. Wonder if it'll show up anywhere since it's negative. Whitesox.com doesn't have it yet. Ho hum, another blowout loss of which we have many. Lotta jokes coming from Bennetti the rest of game?

Cease is 23 fricking years old. He should be in the big leagues ... case closed. It's not that difficult, folks. Why does he have to be 24 before he gets the call? Think of all those wasted pitches with the same wear and tear on the arm as if he were in the bigs. First of all, 23 isn't that young. If he comes up and is miserable it's not because of his age. Somebody should take an anonymous poll of front office types around baseball and see if they think Cease should be in the bigs. He's never thrown more than 124 innings in a season, so I guess we have to keep him in the minors all year to gradually increase his workload or something. I don't like it.

It doesn't hurt me to see Avi do well. He was a model player, hustled his ass off, for sure passed the eye test, two years ago was magnificent, and yet was deemed old news and "not good enough" so we didn't sign him for pennies. it's OK. Perhaps he will get hurt again. He's made it through the coldest month, April, without tearing the hammy, though. Love u Avi! Narvaez? I was never a huge fan, but obviously will let his good stats speak for themselves.

Thanks Ron. I wouldn't do anything regarding an opener with Nova. Just give him 2-3 more starts and if he remains this bad, you've got to pull a Humber and release him. I personally think Erwin is much worse. Ditto him. Release him if he has 2 more horrific starts. As far as quitting being a fan if we go to the opener, yes I might stop being a fan of baseball. The idea of an opener sickens me. Please, baseball, no openers.

I wish they'd ask super fans their opinion before acquiring certain stiffs. For instance I'd have screamed NO PLEASE NO on John Jay as well as Alonso. I'm sure many of you would have screamed NO on the Shields acquisition for a potential stud. Laugh at my suggestion, but at least super fans could express their concerns and why.

Great thread. Nova still has some rope. Two more outings like the last one and I may change my tune. I'd guess Santana is gone soon or put on the DL if he doesn't show something. He's looked like a softball pitcher.

I completely understand what you are saying. When the team has played for nothing for so long, and had so many meaningless losing months of baseball, eventually you have to lose interest just a little bit. Then the lack of interest keeps expanding. In my case, I used to check the standings all the time. It's April and I can say I haven't looked for the standings once. If we were 15-9 I probably would. Sox should be worried. I'm not saying I'm Super Fan but if somebody like me loses interest, I can only imagine the casual fan. Now will all fans come back once we start winning? I guess? It happened in Kansas City. The frontrunners returned those 2 years the Royals were good.

I'm surprised he purchased all those bad players at about 50 million total just to lose. He still coulda lost with guys like Tilson, the catchers we have, etc. Didn't need Alonso to lose. We had candidates to make outs at DH. If I owned the team and the plan was to lose, I'd want that 50 million chump change for me and my family. Perhaps you have to act like you are trying to win to avoid repercussions later from the commish.

I noticed that was an horrific at bat.

Exactly. It offends me that Jay figures to get at bats and Tilson won't this year. Why not give the Jay at bats to Tilson? Just DFA Jay and wish him well spending his $4 million. That 4 million alone sets him up for life and his kids.

Thanks. Sounds like it has some life in the local press. I doubt national will continue covering all that. They should, though, but it all is gonna take time, time, time. ...
