This lineup shockingly stinks tonight. Hard to score with so many easy outs combined with your best players struggling.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:31 AM) Another count worked to 3-2 that ends in a bad K. Notice how many 3-2 offspeed pitches teams throw to the Sox? Seems to be the book against them for a long time now. Twins always used to do that.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:27 AM) Is is sad that I could actually believe that. I actually like Sands too, just not a good fit with Avi on the roster.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:25 AM) Then how do you explain Sands? Make-A-Wish

Not sure if it means anything, but Coats isn't playing for Charlotte tonight. Maybe they send Kahnle down after tonight and promote him?

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:19 AM) I don't think they should end the experiment just yet, they should keep him as an utility player. Utility players usually have to be competent on defense and be able to play multiple positions.

QUOTE (Chris Sale @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:17 AM) Wow that is our designated hitter 181/232/250 vs RHP coming into the game. He's actually getting worse vs them

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:16 AM) Why is Rollins hitting in front of Avi? It's insulting they chose him to DH today instead of calling up Coats or Hayes.

Zimmerman has nothing

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:08 AM) Don't see the Sox scoring 4 runs in this game, especially with the lineup they're running out there tonight. Free Albers

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:06 AM) Martinez would be a sure-fire HOFer if he played all of his games against the White Sox. Don't get this idea of only selectively using his 96-97 MPH fastball instead of just laying it in there without superior command at 92-93. All you need to do is go 6 innings...he's worrying about stamina to pitch into the 7th? Somebody needs to talk to him because giving up that velocity SHOULD give you the ability to put it on the black. Agreed, hate the way Rodon is trying to pace himself. His command when pitching at a lower speed isn't significantly better than max effort.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:03 AM) Game over. Game is a mismatch talent wise. Sox have two players in their lineup today that would even start for the Tigers (Frazier and Eaton)

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:03 AM) Another missed strike call Ridiculous, 3 missed so far in Tigers favor

Falls behind and another homer on a fastball. How many 92-93 mph fastball homers has he allowed this year?

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:58 AM) He has to get it down, or he isn't long for the majors. He isn't going anywhere, but he'll never live up to his potential if he can't throw his fastball for strikes when he wants.

Offense has 3 best players struggling big time right now. Need someone to carry them this weekend against a good offense

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:56 AM) 1.53 WHIP for Rodon. Hasn't improved from last year. If anything his stuff has gotten a bit worse.

Rodon struggles so much once he gets two outs. This outfield is so bad on defense, as Shuck got a bad jump

And of course Rodon gives it back. Set up by another blown call by the umpire. They are teeing off on Rodon's fastball, no shock

Yes-no-yes

Nice to get a run despite having Rollins and Avila up. Avila is so terrible with RISP

Great slider to Maybin

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:15 AM) Todd works the count full & then swings at that... Isn't gonna get many fastballs in a full count spot

Sox can't get anything going in the first inning last two weeks

That's some misplay by Chris Owings. 1 run is enough probably, as Cubs' starters just don't give up runs anymore.
