Buehrle>Wood

From the gamethread: (Last one was sarcasm if anyone couldn't tell) Then even after theach bunt, but before Frazier pops out

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 10:22 AM) This thread was created and all of the arguing against it, was done after the fact. Once the bunt was successful, the White Sox odds of scoring increased. Since Melky has hit 3 HRs, the chances of him hitting one there were pretty slim. The graphic I saw was the chances of scoring a run do increase with a successful bunt. Your chances of scoring multiple runs goes down. All in all, considering the bunt was successful, the argument against was weak. At least Robin did the right thing and started Saladino vs. the LHP on Tuesday. The managers of Soxtalk might have been hung with an L.No the argument started before Cabrera was in the batters box.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 09:06 AM) The question is are the odds greater of one guy getting a single with one outs or getting either multiple hits or an XBH with no outs. Going off of the win expetancy earlier, the odds of winning actually went up with the successful sacrifice, so it was a statistically sound move. No. You are adding that after the fact, in other words youre assuming a 100% succesful bunt in which both guys get over. If he hits a hr, our odds of winning go to 98%. That would be quite the statistically sound move.

He's 26. It's sink or swim time for him, probably even past that timeframe for most. Its not like he has to play everyday. Hes not exactly one who needs to be protected. I hope the move happens today.

Believe they stopped physical notifications to save money.

Vs the rockies. Someone on first. Cliff of course told to bunt him over. Fielders are like, well of course he's going to bunt, he's a reliever, so they come ridiculously far in. Cliff pulls back the bunt on his own and just slaps it to right field. Absolutely beautiful.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 04:44 PM) Colon warming up for the Mets. He should pinch hit

Frazier always does that. It's how he gets as many sbs as he does but also picks up his fair share of cs. Problem is the scouting report is out on it.

That mets game thread link is even more incredible

I almost didn't want him to run on that wild pitch.

Holy f*** he hammered that. And he's not quick like a cat ill say that much

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 04:28 PM) https://www.reddit.com/r/NewYorkMets/commen...2_june_01_2016/ And now The Mets will walk to him, and they will battle the White Sox to the death. Orange and blue. Black and white. Fight night. The weakest gladiator match in the history of baseball: Bad team versus worse team; ugh versus meh; Sox of Black versus Mess of Queens!

Latos .580 ops last year. I'll take that of it comes to it

Albers has a career .159 OPS

Who bats for the pitcher?

I'm box score following on my commute but Robertson looks like he's getting some gift strikes thankfully

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 01:54 PM) If Avi is hurt, at least he can DH against LHP (even though that should probably be Rollins going forward) We do have a 26 year old tearing up triple A though. Would rather it be do or die time for Coats rather than Sands (and Coats isn't exactly a guy you need to protect).

I can't login unless I'm in incognito mode. I've deleted history, cookies, etc. Even incognito mode doesn't work all the time. It'll just keep repeating the login box saying error. This has happened to me before but not as prolonged as this.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) +1...he truly has no purpose on the team as long as Avi is healthy And even then, he really doesnt.

Comparisons between the sox and cubs have existed as long as the teams have and will continue to do so. Weird thing to jump on.

I love it. Trump calls hundreds of media members to hold a presser today just to tell them what they're doing wrong, and they still make the same mistakes. The media that hates him continues to be the one that makes him more popular and powerful (not that I'm complaining) while collectively being too stupid to realize it. It can be spun in any which way, yet Trump is still getting an incredible amount of free press for donating millions to veterans. It's amazing.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 31, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) https://mobile.twitter.com/justinjm1/status...738286689615873 I love this so much. Trump is literally using and abusing the media with round the clock coverage to remind everyone he raised millions of dollars for veterans.

I feel like there was at least some potential for a play at the plated. Guess not.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 31, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) Saladino will need to jack one for us to win this game. .
