Nice rundown

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 06:01 PM) Saladino hits LHP well too though and is the better defender. The issue is with Rollins against RHP, not Saladino against LHP. Saladino hit .207 with an OPS of .650 vs lefties last year. He doesn't hit them well. Theres a lot of negatives with Jimmy Rollins, but one thing for sure is that he is still an above average hitter vs LHP. That's something we need all we can get right now. 4 for 7 this year with 2 doubles and 2 walks. .762 OPS vs lefties last year. Let him play vs the lefties, especially now of all the times.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) Corey Ray is a guy I keep thinking we will get for some reason. Unlikely it seems, at this point though. It keeps coming up in my mind too. I think because we've had so so many breaks the last few years that we expect to get our guy. Unforunately were probably too far down the pecking order this year.

We face a lefty and NOW Rollins sits. Good lord.

Ill be at my 3rd game tommorow. #whatsyourexcuse

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 10:38 AM) DFA Sands, option Avi to AAA. Bring up Coats and Ishikawa. Coats in LF, Melky to DH, Ishikawa as LHH 1B/DH bench and PH role. Hope the option kicks Avi in the ass. Come June, explore the trade market for better improvement than those two. But use the marginal improvement from those two in the short term. Agreed. And seems simple enough to wonder why they haven't done it yet. With Coats too, he's 26. Sink or swim time for him and this is the perfect oppurtunity to find out what we have in him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) Kim ~CopperStateAs ⚾️ ‏@Cu_As 20s20 seconds ago Phoenix, AZ @FutureSox ICYMI: @Intimidators Seby Zavala leads all of MiLB with 12 CS (in 10 games) CS is a base runner stat so I found that confusing at first.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 08:43 AM) Really? That hurts. Kenny or Rick? It was a 3 way trade in which the Red Sox got Peavy, and gave up Iglesias. We got Garcia and 3 spects from the Red Sox. Save to say we could have just gone directly to them and got Iglesias.

Anyone else trying to figure out why WWE has done a complete 180 since WrestleMania and it's been a smark's wet dream ever since?

So does Finn debut heel? Take out AJ and hand Reigns the match?

I can think of one team who recently came into extra payroll flexibility, attracts Cubans, and needs immediate offensive help.

f*** I thought that was gone off the bat

That's a strategic walk right there...

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) Because he's a reliever, and the team has used a ton of them. You don't use a terrible loogy in that type of situation, regardless.

Wow f*** this ump

I was following on box score. Why did Duke pitch a full inning in a 1 run game in the 9th?

Lol abreu

Since Sands is just completely useless, at least call up Leury to PR. He should never play though. Then again he can't be worse.

Picked off? Box score following

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) There are 2304 BOUND delegates, and 168 unbound. If someone gets 1237 of that number, they are golden. But they can also win if they get over half the bound delegates (1153) PLUS 168 other bound delegates to overcome a 168-delegate swing even if they lost them all. That's the 1321 number in total delegates to reach to win that other way. Not that it matters much, because in the end I don't think Trump gets 1237, let alone 1321. It's possible, but things have to go very well for him in a bunch of states (in May particularly) that he's not likely to do well in. Okay I see what you're saying but I believe it's still a very flawed way of looking at it because it assumes all unbound delegates are aligned with 1 person. The truth is they are all already accounted for in a lot of cases (Pennsylvania not withstanding). Trump does not need to worry about all those unbound delegates because they're already aligned with Ted Cruz for the most part. They are inlcuded in Cruz delegate total. Trumps delegates are almost all bound to him counting towards his 845 number. He needs to worry about 1237+how many unbound he ends up with. That number is closer to 1260 then it is 1321. Also, almost everyone agrees now that Trump has an easy path to 1237. Even in worst case scenarios (like somehow getting 0 in Indiana) he should still easily get there. I'd like to see your path where he doesn't get to 1237. It would have to involve losing California (where he's ahead by 18) and essentially every state aside from New Jersey in May/June. Here is my best guess at a worst case scenario for him: Pennsylvania: 17 out of 71 (wins state, loses every other delegate) Connecticut: 22/28 Delaware: 16/16 (wta) Maryland: 30/38 Rhode Island: 14/19 Indiana: 10/57 Nebraska: 12/36 WVa: 28/34 (direct elect) Oregon: 10/28 Washington: 14/44 Montana: 0/27 (wta) New Jersey: 51/51 (wta) New Mexico: 18/24 South Dakota: 0/29 (wta) California: 150/172 Even in this scenario where I have him not just losing, but getting crushed in Indiana, Nebraska, Oregon, Montana, Washington and South Dakota as well as underperforming big time this Tuesday, he still gets there.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:33 PM) Most of PA's are unbound. Trump probably wins there. And then there are the 3 RNC delegates for each state in many states, where there is more wiggle room too. What I'm saying is... Trump is under 1237: Contested convention Trump is 1237 to about 1320: Contested convention Trump 1321 or higher (give or take): He wins no matter what Where are you getting the 83 delegate difference there? That infers to me Trump has 83 unbound delegates but he doesn't have near that many I wouldn't think. Or are you saying the 83 is PAs potential unbound delegates+Trumps current unbound delegates? That makes more sense, but in the scenarios I laid out in was giving those all to Cruz.

If Danks gets lit up, we riot

When Coats is called upon there's not going to be any more pressure than there already is for a rookie put in a starting role. He also 26 already so hopefully a little more mentally mature than most. I'd like to see the move for Avi now. We know that won't happen as the Sox have Stockholm Syndrome with Avi. The first place excuse is also BS as the reasons we are in first have nothing to do with Avi. You can still exchange the awful parts of this team to make it better.
