I'm leaving but only because my screen is behind. Way to go, SOTO!

Now that's how to hit a lefty and hit in general. Go with the pitch. Drive it!. Nice hit, Soto.

Wow. I'm behind. Geo musta got a hit!

Melky is a miserable hitter at this point of his career.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 30, 2015 -> 03:57 AM) What does your gut tell you? It could go either way. My crystal ball isn't clear tonight. If Sanchez runs here, please make it a hit and run with Eaton, not a straight steal for gawd sakes.

Flowers is an easy out. Poor guy is not a big leaguer. Last year he connected on 15 homers or so. Pitchers won't be that dumb this year. He'll wind up sub .200.

Sox still might win this one, baby. Jennings with the K. Is Melky gonna go 0-for-6 or finally connect for a double?

I smelled a victory the other day against the Jays. Don't feel it today and my gut feelings have been spot on this year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2015 -> 03:47 AM) Death by paper cuts in this inning. What are the odds of escaping? Very slim. We aren't going to score again so it might as well mercifully end here.

Robin was not pleased there. He took that ball from Putnam and didn't look at him.

OMG does he hit a HR? He just hit one foul.

Hey, my mlb feed must be way behind yours. Just now I watched the caught stealing with Flowers up.

Man on base, two out. We need one of those rare Flowers bombs.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2015 -> 03:30 AM) I assume you're describing the Red Sox because I haven't been watching them and this isn't true about the White Sox. The split with O's and good outing tonight. They look like a big league team IMO except for the inept hitting which admittedly is starting to anger me tonight.

Is this the former infielder Josh Fields?

Sox are playing pretty good baseball again despite the hitting woes. I tell you, it's got to be something about the Central Division. Sox are putrid in divisional games but look like a much crisper team outside the division. I don't get it. That said, hard to imagine a victory tonight with the anemic attack. Somebody's got to get hold of one (Becks again?) and the pure odds do not suggest that happening.

Sweet, he's out! I thought he was safe on that one replay angle. We all had differing opinions on soxtalk.

Cmon Sox, battle. Let's win a game tonight. Man on first.

I'm not in the mood for a walkoff loss. But I fear one is coming cause Sox offense is so challenged.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2015 -> 04:08 AM) That was the point Greg. You have to agree with one of those 2 sentences because they contradict each other. If the GM put plenty of talent on the field then for them to all be this bad then the coaches did a terrible job. If the Coaches did a fine job, then the GM spent $50 million to put a terrible team on the field. Good point. I don't dispute you know your baseball, I just don't always agree with you.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2015 -> 03:55 AM) Make him player/coach like Don Kessinger....with Paulie as the bench coach. Or Moises Sierra. Or bring back Kessinger right now. He's still allive and may want to redeem himself. p.s. Lexi loves that spin; worked that time. Nice play ss.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2015 -> 03:34 AM) Coaches can't make up for the poor talent on the field no matter how good they are. The GM put great talent on the field and there's no way anyone can question the job this GM did putting this team together. How is that unclear to you? I disagree with your second paragraph. GM hit the jackpot with Robertson and Beckham and maybe Duke. Verdict not so positive on Melky and LaRoche and Boni. Many on here know I despised Dunn but I see little difference between he and LaRoche. Dunn actually might be, gulp, better, if he signed on for one year at 2 mill a year.

Hate to say I told u so, but Beckham HAS to be in this starting lineup! Beckham is so much better than the hitless wonders we've had at 2B. Congrats on the deep blast! Tie game.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 29, 2015 -> 07:58 PM) i am going to play the devils advocate. unless the sox owners and FO are really afraid of pulling the trade. 1. the team has finally turned it around or appears to have turned it around. 2. afraid that the fans will really abandoned the sox. Who cares about the fans? If we win big they will come; if the Sox continue to flounder they won't.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 29, 2015 -> 06:35 PM) Great read by Sam Smith: http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/samsmith/thi...ry-start-finish This is why college coaches like Hoiberg who are beloved should "just say no" to the NBA unless all they care about (and this is possible) is making a few million more per annum. Smith wrote: "It’s why the shelf life of the NBA coach isn’t long; in his fifth season, Thibodeau ranked fourth senior NBA coach with his team. The other three all had won titles." Hoiberg won't last more than 2-3 years with Chicago unless the Bulls win it all which they probably won't.
