Wow.. W-S is getting lit the f*** up. 11 runs in the 1st inning given up!!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2017 -> 06:30 PM) Martinez is having an the opposite start of Giolito Eloy Jimenez took him deep for a granny. First start in high A and he struggled juuuuuust a tad. Collins and Basabe were switched in the order. Both 1-1 so far. OT: but Kanny lit up Braxton Garrett.

QUOTE (turnin' two @ May 25, 2017 -> 06:08 PM) Just give me outs. I will worry about the manner in which they arrive when Gio is putting more good starts together. ^^^^^ This. He needs to start putting up zeros (or 1 run) then put it all together. As far as tonight, I won't get excited yet until after the 6th and he's still doing this.

Timmy is probably happy to see that. Danish is one of his best friends in the system.

2-2 now for Delmonico. Giolito so far - 4 IP 0 H 0 R 0 ER 1 BB 1 SO.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 25, 2017 -> 05:31 PM) I hope he can play a position with passable defense because his bat is going to play in the big leagues. No idea why the sox just don't put him in LF and leave him there. Unless his range at 3B is so good and he just makes bone headed errors (ala Jose Valentin). From all reports though, he's a butcher over there.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 25, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) So it's a bullpen day. Yea Giolito might need to bite the bullet tonight if he struggles. Think Grudz has him go 6-7 no matter what.

Bears sign Victor Cruz to a one year deal.

His slider is impressive, but he doesn't have overpowering velocity or stuff. I think he would be a very good comp pick, not sure about top 15. But then again, this is only the 2nd game I've ever seen him pitch.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) Faedo on SECNetwork soon against a team that crushed him this year Thanks fathom. Will definitely check him out.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 24, 2017 -> 09:02 AM) I think it won't be announced until he gets a physical in Chicago. Wasn't he supposed to arrive today or tomorrow? Next week.

Basabe 2-3 so far. Needed that.

Damn I thought Saladino got that one.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 23, 2017 -> 11:27 PM) That was very impressive by Kahnle. He's been one of the best stories this season. Incredible how much his control has improved.

Don't see Goldschmidt look overpowered too often.

Look Ricky, he swings the bat and still gets the job done. Both of these managers have made some head scratching decisions in this game.

I'm shocked they didn't leave Bradley in.

Abreu might frustrate me with his lack of discipline, but the dude can hit. Congrats on #100 big man.

Can't believe Holmberg is only 25. Seems like he's been around forever. I still remember him as a top 10 prospect in our (weak) system at the time.

Yolmer is playing RF. I repeat.. Yolmer Sanchez is playing RF.

Left oblique injury for Covey per Pleskoff.

Ricky loves bunting. Might be my biggest pet peeve with him as a manager.

Willy Garcia 43 PA, 4 BB. Tim Anderson 159 PA, 4 BB. And Willy has been robbed of a couple walks already with bad calls.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2017 -> 09:40 PM) Missed it what happened Threw a breaking ball (hung it) to Goldschmidt. He fouled it straight back, then backed off the mound and the trainers came. Wasn't sure if it was his arm or hamstring but he didn't move his right arm when he walked off.

So if Covey is out for an extended period of time, who are we gonna see fill in his spot? Volstad?
