QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) This. I didn't notice how unfortunate his K/BB numbers are. i have said many times in the past, i am not too swift on the advance stats, but he will always have that high K/bb's. but that doesn't mean he still can't help the team.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 02:51 AM) I thought he might start the suspended game. But I wonder if they would be afraid to start Rodon after the other night. Tthe Sox may be concerned if he starts and is wild again, what do they do next with him. They may want to see him get a couple of successful relief appearances under his belt. i don't know where i read it, but i thought it was Beck coming up.

trading for the sake of trading in not the best way to address the holes, plus the cost is too prohibitive. i like the way this team is getting together. now they got to believe in themselves that they can get it done.

i was so hype last niite that i rental a movie called the Admiral. a South Korean movie done in english. it is about the true war movie about the battle between Korea and Japan and Admiral Yi Sun-sin. really not bad of a movie, great costumes and sets.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:01 PM) More details emerging on Sale's attempt to go after Ventura. maybe he was going after to make ask him if he want to go for some drinks, go the movies or eat or something. something purely innocent.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 03:17 PM) I understand that, but only you Royals fans are buying the innocence garbage. When Nolan Ryan hit Robin and then beat Robin up, Robin got suspended, Ryan did not. You are allowed to defend yourself. These guys getting suspended shows the Royals are not innocent. willing to defend one self when attacked is one thing, being a willing combant in a ruckus is another. there is where the suspension comes from.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 05:18 AM) Whoa whoa whoa! It's not a big deal going to the clubhouse. I think a top 5 pitcher in the league has the right to go to the other clubhouse and tell the young punk that he's disrespecting the game. Happens in all lines of work- old guys police the young guys. I understand it's the job of his teammates, but still, I don't see anything wrong with Sale's actions if that's along the lines of what he did. Now if he went in there and took a piss in his mitt...i dunno that's still alright I guess how bout something taking a crap in your shoes...... wasn't it a cat???

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 08:18 AM) It is a big deal. It's not Chris Sale's job to police the game. As a matter of fact, Chris had been ejected by the men who police the game. I'm very disappointed in both Sale and Samardzija for being so selfish. You'd hope these two guys would make better decisions, but now they've likely put the White Sox in a much more difficult position with suspensions looming for both of them. Both of them need to grow up. in the big picture of what is right and what is wrong, i can see what you are saying. with the little things of establishing a leader, plus the emotions of what happen, what was said, you as a person have to draw the line. there is a cause and effect here at play here, i am just happy they didn't get in KC clubhouse.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:40 AM) With as young as Micah is I really don't want to put him under that much pressure yet. yesterday, when that was mention, i thought and said, if it was done when the season started, then yes. MJ had his intro now. he should be able to handle it. if not, then EB.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:27 AM) I think you have to keep Micah batting 9th for a bit longer. Maybe put Alexei in the 2 spot and move Melky to the 4 or 5 spot. The problem is you're just shuffling the deck with a group of guys who have scored less than 2 runs in more than half of their games. plus they are still trying to play the left, right crap.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:22 AM) I'm 100% not ready to say this offense is going to be a long term problem, especially when it's late April and the weather has been brutal for the most part. Along with that, we've had a lot of games against the Royals who are incredibly solid (I know the Sox are going to have to beat them eventually). you have a point, but something needs to be done, before the hole they are digging gets bigger.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:22 AM) Right now we are short at lead off as well. Our order is a mess. MJ should be there as of today, until Eaton fully wakes up.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:21 AM) I don't know man, I'm really worried we're a power bat short. with avi not hitting, yeah.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:17 AM) I'd trade both Avi and Alexei if we could get a good catcher and a minor leaguer. i will discuss that in another thread. but i got some ideas. all this should have been looked at in the offseason, last offseason.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:13 AM) I 100% agree, and not based on what we just saw. It's the 3rd inning and your 9 and 1 hitters just reached based. Is Robin playing to tie the ballgame in the 3rd inning? It just doesn't make baseball sense. the old school is, this is the right move, unless you have the heart of your order coming up. now with Avi hitting what he is hitting, that is something else to think about. but it isn't/.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:13 AM) Trayce Thompson? that is who i was thinking about.... take the hot hand in the minors for your org.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 11:59 PM) Drabek- 3 scoreless so far, 1 hit, 1 bb, 1 k Thompson 2-2, sb, .327 Davidson is hitting .280. It's something at least. well as a sox fan i am happy, on a personal side, i am going to eat my shoes for not believing. Thompson, wow, did he turn it around or what???? great job so far.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 12:58 AM) As entertaining as the brawl was I'd rather the Sox beat the crap out of baseballs with their bats from now on . good, then they all could go into the clubhouse and have an old fashion donning brook. the best team walks out. i like it.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 01:06 AM) My prediction is that they drill LaRoche and nothing happens. We the drill Cain and all HELL breaks loose. my prediction, no excitement boring game, sox win. last nite with the drama and you should know as i do, the commish office already sent a private waring to the teams.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:18 PM) Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 18m18 minutes ago Todd Steverson and @AvisailGarcia get some early hitting work in. #ChiSoxGameDay its about time.... i like to hear that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 10:55 PM) Dan hayes has a tweet that Rios helped play peacemaker. Maybe the greatest contribution he has ever made to the Sox. that is a first... i respect him for that.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/brawl-...-sox-look-spark Hope there's actually some type of plan or strategy for the rest of the season that goes beyond "hoping." Needs to be more belief...certainty...and less maybe. Didnt realize Tyler was such an enforcer there he scared half the Royals away single-handedly. i never realize how much of a big boy he is. i too would think twice if i saw anger in his face coming at me.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) No not yet. He is available until the appeal process happens. I don't know when that it is but it is typically done via skype so it shouldn't take too long. He is hoping the MLB reduces it and MLB has to decide whether to uphold or reduce it. if i remember correctly and that is unless it has change, doesn't the player have the yr when to decide to do the suspension??

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) Haha yeah, same. I think I was banned for a whole year at one point. Woof. I was just a kid then.. well it comes to sports and a sports forum, aren't we all just kids, regardless of age???
