Offense better show up tonight

GT hired old Northwestern asst coach Tavaras Hardy. Be interesting to see if they recruit the Midwest again.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) I didn't realize making this thread constituted making fun of the fans...is that what it really is? There's also a difference for Pirates' fans because they know they have two better opportunities to see the Cubs later in the season since they are divisional rivals. At any rate, the Orioles' attendance is also way down and they actually spent quite a bit of money in the offseason, have been to the playoffs much more recently, and got off to a similar start record-wiseto the White Sox. Like it or not, with the media focusing so much on the Cubs and their revenue machine now, it's going to be even more of a topic of comparison because it's the one profound and obvious difference between the two organizations at the current time...and a hot topic on social media as well and presumably sports talk radio in Chicago. The White Sox don't exist according to Chicago sports talk radio

Kevin Is Zack Collins gonna go in the top 15, considering his Schwarber-like profile? Klaw: He's not like Schwarber, but I've heard two teams specifically on him in the top ten, Oakland and possibly the White Sox. http://meadowparty.com/blog/2016/05/05/klawchat-5516/

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 5, 2016 -> 07:25 PM) Thanks man. I'll check that out. I think you can though now, no? Aren't his chats on the meadow party.com now instead of the website? Yeah, an error popped up on the site just when I was going to link it.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 5, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Could we get Collins below slot and use our sandwich pick on a high ceiling HS player? Doubt 10 would be a bargain pick for him, as Oakland at 6 is interested as well

Can't link it but Keith Law in his chat today said he thinks Sox might be on Collins

Heard the dumbest comment on Mully and Hanley today when they were interviewing Ozzie. I think it was Mully that said that even playoff games at the Cell don't take on a playoff-like atmosphere. The Sox fan base does stink during the season, but they definitely show up in the postseason and create a great atmosphere.

Why would the game being on ESPN equate to more fans? Like I said earlier, it was freezing today.

This has been a strange, bad game thread

QUOTE (bmags @ May 5, 2016 -> 03:34 AM) Shhh....if Duke is in to face a lefty its "Duke is not a LOOGY!", when he is in to face right handlers its "why is our LOOGY in to face righties????" Just wish they would expand Jennings role a bit. Duke is gonna lead the league in appearances at this rate.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 5, 2016 -> 02:30 AM) I don't like Robin punting a close game. I'm sure they don't expect Johnson to go long tomorrow

Jennings needs to get more chances than Duke. Not sure what's going on this inning

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2016 -> 03:24 AM) Too negative. It still very might well be our game, in light of results in the past 27 contests. You having a bad night?

Sands from the Flowers school or not knowing what is a strike

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2016 -> 02:15 AM) Ventura pushing ALL the wrong buttons this inning. Guess it was due to happen soon or later. He left Rodon in too long against BALT, arguably. Not sure I wouldn't have used Albers there, but hindsight is always 20/20. Ventura has been fine, stop

Too many fastballs to Ortiz.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 5, 2016 -> 02:12 AM) Putnam is good. Your guys standards for bullpen pitchers is that they never give up a run or else they are trash. pitcheds need their reps too Seems like he's very hit or miss, usually depending on how teams approach the splitter

Putnam not fooling anyone

Nice D Melky!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 5, 2016 -> 02:02 AM) Frazier always looks like he is out in front Hopefully knuckler didn't mess up his timing yesterday, as he had been in a good rhythm. He said Weaver helped him out two weeks ago.

Hopefully Hahn is actively going after a big lefty bat like Levine suggested

Great another possible loss with #50 on the mound

Sure looked like strike 3

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 5, 2016 -> 01:47 AM) Looks like a struggle to beat 15k tonight. What happened to the Red Sox invading our stadium? Probably all Cubs fans now cause of THEO
