QUOTE (flavum @ May 19, 2016 -> 03:12 PM) Point being, Chris Sale is throwing his first no-hitter tonight. In true Mr. Pessimism fashion, I predict leadoff homer by Altuve on a 91 mph fastball and the board melts down and everyone claims they want him to start throwing harder again.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 19, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) Another lie. Didn't he destroy them in his first Sox start?

Hope to see some lineup changes today. Can't keep having Rollins and his .494 OPS against RHP batting 2nd. He's far and away the worst hitter on the team against RHP.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) Obviously, I'm being hyperbolic, but Jennings, Putnam, Petricka, Duke and Albers wouldn't exactly be highly coveted at the moment. For the last ten days, we've had far and away the worst bullpen in the majors. http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/cincinn...s-rumors-051816 Jennings has been great this year (2 ERA). 10 days of struggles for a bullpen doesn't make them the worst bullpen ever.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 19, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) they are pretty much all the same except for nothing The Sox have a negative 4.3 cumulative fWAR on offense. The Reds have a negative 40.2 Clearly they are pretty much the same

Good stuff, thanks guys

Anyone else notice that Anderson is destroying lefties. Has over a 1.000 OPS against them.

Cubs pitching has held the opposition to 1-29 with the bases loaded this year

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ May 19, 2016 -> 05:43 AM) What can you even really say, man. It is unfreaking believable. All the jackass had to do was throw strikes. There are so, so many garbage teams in the NL. As a good NL team, you always have the opportunity to right the ship because chances are you have some garbage team coming up in your schedule to get some W's. Braun being out gives the Brewers a nice minor league feel besides Carter and Lucroy

And they walk the pitcher with bases loaded. Torres always sucks against the Cubs

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ May 19, 2016 -> 05:29 AM) Just saw the Cubs get out of a bases loaded no out jam in the bottom of the 12th in Milwaukee. If the Cubs win this game, in the morning be ready to hear about what a genius Maddon is instead of how the Brewers completely blew it. #rentfree Counsell managing a terrible game

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 19, 2016 -> 04:07 AM) He's gone between 6-7 innings in 7 of those 8 games. Please just stop talking your nonsense. He's been fine outside of the Angels game. He had fantastic stuff yesterday. Plenty of reasons to be optimistic going forward with him

Rodon will be fine. It's the 4-5 that are scary bad

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 19, 2016 -> 03:24 AM) I would say Reinsdorf's buddy system in the only problem. I don't by the budget constraints at all. They cared way too much about saving the comp pick this past offseason

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ May 19, 2016 -> 03:10 AM) 6 of 8 lost and somehow feels like we should be on a 7 game win streak. Makes the current situation even more annoying. Better team won tonight

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 19, 2016 -> 03:09 AM) This team is terrible with RISP right now. We're getting baserunners, but they aren't scoring. Also not hitting for much power

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 19, 2016 -> 03:05 AM) Avila really screwed that up. I just don't get how our scouting of MLB players that we bring in via free agency can be so bad

Are you kidding me. He is so freaking bad

Awful at bats

Lawrie shanks so many fouls over the first base dugout. Not sure why that is

Swing at 59 footer then take pitch right down the plate

Wow

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 19, 2016 -> 03:42 AM) We have other options right? Can Sands pitch

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 19, 2016 -> 03:38 AM) Couple more chances for the offense And our bullpen

Just missed
