QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 07:15 PM) Why would he bat righty? He's saying Gardy should put a lefty in to have him bat righty.

Hawk is cramping up.

Delmonico taking one for the club.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 06:50 PM) The problem is we haven’t had a single bullpen callup show even flashes of looking like a good reliever. If Burdi didn't get injured last year, not a doubt in my mind he would've been the first to fit that statement.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 06:39 PM) Likely going to extra innings. Hope I'm wrong. Unsurprisingly I'm not. Gotta hope for everybody's sake, this ends quickly.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 06:42 PM) If he pitches tomorrow there is a good chance nobody will know it even happened Saturday. But it'll still be cold as hell regardless.

Giolito has had some awful luck to start this year. Second game he's gonna pitch tomorrow and will be cold as hell.

Umps have got to be pissed off now. They actually gave Soria a couple of borderline calls and that didn't even matter at the end. Likely going to extra innings. Hope I'm wrong.

Wow Leury... that was bad.

QUOTE (Richie @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 06:29 PM) Okay, cool. haha He's already flashed enough to get me excited for the future. Especially towards the end of last year. Let the weather warm-up. Let him see some more AB's. I'm not sweating this, at all. He's already contributed with a dinger and a clutch double in the first week. He should've had a couple more hits already if it wasn't for s*** luck. So far he and Delmonico have been unlucky.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 06:23 PM) Yolmer's so damn likable He and Giolito by all accounts are just fantastic people.

Jones doesn't look right since he slipped on the mound.

Tim Anderson walks twice?! wow.

Davidson walks again.

I wonder if the Sox will take a look at Carson Sands who got released a couple of days ago by the Cubs. You can pretty much say he can be an add on/throw in from the Q trade if he figures it out. Just turned 23 and was suppose to be one of the top H.S. pitchers in that 2014 draft where Cubs "reached" on Schwarber to pay the H.S. kids selected in Sands, Steele and of course the cream of the crop, Dylan Cease.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 09:52 PM) The bullpen has one keeper, Jones, who will likely be traded; and perhaps Bummer. The rest are stiffs. 7 needed. Luis Avilan is pretty good. Don't let one bad outing fool you. But, he's probably trade bait too like Jones, so... far from a stiff though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 09:35 PM) Wow that's a horrible called third. Did Davidson bang the ump's wife? 3 questionable strikeouts on him.

Heh.. Avi did that alot last year. They called that an error? what a joke.

Bulls won again. As Rick Hahn once said, this franchise is "mired in mediocrity."

In even worse news, Bulls won again.

I applaud the effort Delmonico... you weren't close at all, but I applaud the effort.

I wonder if chitownsportsfan thinks Engel should've got that too.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:48 PM) catch probability 41% on that engel drop so no, it really wasn't an extraordinary play. It wasn't routine. It was a play, as I said, that an "elite fielding", light hitting starting MLB CF needs to make more often than not. And credit Engel, he knows it, you could see it on his face. You still on that? You said an MLB CF needs to make. Me, CWS and another guy said no (in fact that percentage actually proves our point that most CFs don't even get to that ball). You're wrong, it's not a big deal.

That might be the longest homer I've ever seen Yolmer hit.

Clippard was a hell of a tank commander for the Sox. Got no grips towards him.
