You freaking kidding me with that 3-2 swing? HE CAN'T HIT RIGHTIES!

QUOTE (Baron @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) Some should be/is getting canned soon if they keep losing this way. Yeah right, they'll have a scapegoat like the bullpen catcher. With that said, this is almost entirely on the players. This team has no prayer if Abreu is one of the worst players in baseball. He needs to be an all-star caliber player for this team to contend.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) Abreu is being hammered insidevans then hard breaking balls down and out or just junk out side and he us swinging at everything He struggled like crazy the last half of 2015 with driving inside fastballs. He has just lost so much bat speed since the first half of 2014. Doesn't even look like the same player anymore.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) Just a terrible collapse. Ventura deserves to be on the hot seat right now. He has a few more months for that.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) I don't know what you even do w Abreu now. For starters, stop moving him up in the order. Give him a day off, as he's been a disaster offensively/defensively of late.

What a freaking collapse this week. Terrible clutch hitting

Team has to be like 1 for last 20 with RISP

Thanks again for batting him 2nd. What a horrible season for Abreu

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) How can he not put those in the OF no bat speed

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 21, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) This is Abreu's chance to redeem himself. Please get it done. Here comes a 6-4-3

Rodon to bat for Abreu?

Wow, huge break

Here comes the bunt...hopefully Eaton has another beauty

Feels like it's now or never

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) Then take all of their position prospects. I don't even know what Boston has but a 3rd team could always be brought in to sweeten the pot. Boston has some awesome prospects/young MLB players

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) His swing is pathetic He looks done. No bat speed

Rally killer strikes again. Good thing we have lefty bats on the bench

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) Wouldn't shock me if the White Sox flounder this year. If they completely go into the tank and Abreu looks like he's finished, blowing it all up shouldn't be out of the question. I definitely don't want to see this happen, it's much more fun when they're competitive.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:05 PM) You shouldn't be surprised to have no runs when Jerry Sands is batting 5th. Excuse me, it's 4th

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Only if the rumors are for terrible pieces that the Boston media tries to push. ERod, Swihart and Moncada and Benintendi....done

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:02 PM) I'm hitting the panic button, don't know about you guys. You're going to freak out in 2 months when the Sale to Boston rumors start again, aren't you

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) They are getting ready to lose their 9th straight non Sale start. It just looks far too similar to last year's team in terms of mediocre position players.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) The problem with the offense is a lack of power. They have been getting on base still at a reasonable clip but nobody is hitting any HR. That said, how many HR have that had that just missed, half a dozen so far? Over last week, we've had: - Eaton missed a walkoff homer by 5 feet - Abreu robbed at the fence - Melky hit the top of the fence Then you have Lawrie looking like he blasted one that the wind knocked down (after carrying a weak fly ball to the track the previous inning)

Very nice overall effort from Gonzalez. Deserves another start for sure.

Out of 185 qualified hitters, Austin Jackson is 176th and Jose Abreu is 177 in terms of fWAR (funny thing is Alexei is 178th)
