I actually missed the play as I was in the shower (the Anderson homer too), but I said that earlier in this game thread even before that. He's a terrible player. I was reading what happened here and wasn't surprised.

I would like to reiterate what I said earlier that Melky can not get out of here fast enough.

DRob hung that one. Got lucky.

Nice inning for Kahnle. Those injuries to the bullpen has helped this org look at guys like Kahnle and Swarzak more. Pretty beneficial in the long run.

Why not run Willy if your gonna bunt Renteria?

Narvaez..

Tim could've beat that out if he wasn't looking at the play.

Wow what luck. Great slide by Avi.

Keep Yolmer at 2B Rick!

Atta boy TA.

Melky can not get out of here fast enough.

Why bring up Willy Garcia when your going to have him on the bench?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2017 -> 08:53 PM) Happ is going to mash. Has a great power swing Really impressed with him since he came up. We'll see what happens when scouting reports come into play on him, but I like his swing, eye, etc. Just looks like he can be very good.

Boston wins the #1 pick. Of course..

QUOTE (shipps @ May 16, 2017 -> 04:20 PM) I think Ace was just saying that he preferred Happ over Candelario. Not Moncada. Bingo. Thought it was beyond obvious.

Adolfo's hitting streak ends at 16.

QUOTE (yesterday333 @ May 16, 2017 -> 02:37 PM) well wasn't Moncada pretty bad in the bigs as well? Moncada skipped AAA though. Obviously it's only 30+ PA the kid has so its silly to write him off, but Happ to me looks like the more impressive hitter.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 16, 2017 -> 12:47 PM) I think the price is reasonable. Candelerio is raking so far in Iowa and boy could the Sox use a young talent like him at 3B. He's been awful in the big leagues though. Something like 2 for his last 28. I think he's okay, but looks lost in his at bats and isn't a defensive stud either. Happ on the other hand, looks very much the part. If your going to get all bat, no glove, I'll gladly take him.

Willy probably makes that play. And damn, I don't remember Infante with that kind if velocity and hook..

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2017 -> 11:06 PM) Still would have only been two outs, and then he was nowhere close against one of the worst hitters in baseball and almost gave up a homer to their 9 hitter. Still got him out fathom. Definitely can't get on Renteria for this one. Sorry. I'll definitely agree on him facing Trout which was brutal.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 15, 2017 -> 10:38 PM) Lol, wtf. That walk was bulls***. Clear strike three Haha good to see you around Heads.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2017 -> 11:00 PM) Letting him face Trout was bonkers though. That's hard to defend I'll agree with that. I would've pulled Pelfrey after the homer. But its semantics at this point from that b.s call.

Renteria has been very good this season. I got on him before but he's been right on the money with his feel for the game for the most part.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2017 -> 10:50 PM) That's the thing, he shouldn't be in the majors. He can't finish 5 innings and was lucky it wasn't 3-3 after the long fly out. With two outs and lefty up, seemed like obvious time to pull him That ball 4 call was bulls*** and you know it. https://mobile.twitter.com/WhiteSoxUmp/stat...323835251892224 Should have been out of the inning in the first place.
