QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 06:35 PM) Hey guys. Everyone is freaking out over a #5 starter. R-E-L-A-X I absolutely hate this line of thinking. They're already 0-4 in his starts, and in 3 of them he gave them no chance to win. He's pretty much one of the 3 worst pitchers in baseball over the last 4 seasons. We've seen too many seasons derailed over the past twenty years due to incompetent number 5 starters.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) Spiegel and Goff talk about the Sox a ton. Mully talks about the Sox a lot. Laurence Holmes is a Sox fan too. The weekend baseball shows also cover the White Sox a lot. The fact that they don't talk about the Sox is nonsense. The Cubs are one of the best teams in baseball and they are the flagship. Of course they talk Cubs. And they have more fans. It's just the way it is and the way it should be. Yep ESPN1000 is the station now that pretends the Sox don't exist

Danks, Petricka and Webb pitching in a blowout and getting crushed is so 2014 and 2015

Great start from Danish. Adams with nice rebound

Orioles lineup is better IMO than Toronto

Petricka is so blah. Stuff just never got better.

Ugh, hate UGa

Hope that's the last we ever see of Danks

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 12:58 AM) Danks next three starts if he makes them: 5-4 vs Red Sox 5-9 at Rangers 5-15 at Yankees Haha!

Saw I missed another Danks masterpiece. Time to DFA him, he's been nothing but the worst since the contract extension. Hell no does he deserve another start.

Truly believe they pull the plug on Danks if he gets rocked again

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) Its impossible to take NL results seriously. That goes the Cubs, Nationals, Dodgers, Giants (though they get the benefit of the doubt because three rings), Cardinals, Pirates.... you really dont know how good these teams are because 1/2 of their games are against minor league teams. Just saw this article by Bernstein and couldn't agree more with the first few paragraphs: http://sports.cbslocal.com/2016/04/27/bad-...aseball-season/

Great news here: Jeff Nuich ‏@JeffNuich 5h5 hours ago .@CSNChicago posted its HIGHEST-RATED #WhiteSox game in OVER TWO YEARS last night; peak = 115K Chicago mrkt homes.

Thought I read it's his father-in-law

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) I was watching SportsTalk Live with Kaplan the other day. He asked the panel what was more impressive : 1) The White Sox sweep of Texas or 2) The Cubs taking 3/4 from the Reds paired with the no-hitter. Obviously, they all agreed with the Cubs taking 3/4 from the Reds. After the Cubs beat the Brewers today, I wouldn't be surprised if they said the Cubs taking 2/2 from the Brewers was more impressive than the White Sox going INTO Toronto and kicking their collectives a$$es. I would hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. The Kool-Aid is the sweetest it has ever been. Even when playing complete garbage. That's your biggest problem. Just a disgusting Cubs homer. Still waiting for his smoking gun that the Sox had it in LaRoche's contract he could have Drake there.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) Couldn't you argue that the Cubs are a big reason why those pitching staffs have those ERAs? Particularly the Reds. Also, it's amazing that Arrieta has had s*** command his last two outings and still doesn't give up any runs. The Reds, Dbacks and Rockies are giving up big runs to everyone though. Rockies actually shut down the Cubs also, I believe.

Orioles have a ton of power in their lineup: John Danks (L) Orioles Tyler Wilson ® 1. Adam Eaton (L) RF 2. Jimmy Rollins (S) SS 3. Jose Abreu ® 1B 4. Todd Frazier ® 3B 5. Melky Cabrera (S) LF 6. Brett Lawrie ® 2B 7. Avisail Garcia ® DH 8. Hector Sanchez (S) C 9. Austin Jackson ® CF 1. Joey Rickard ® RF 2. Manny Machado ® 3B 3. Chris Davis (L) 1B 4. Mark Trumbo ® DH 5. Adam Jones ® CF 6. J.J. Hardy ® SS 7. Nolan Reimold ® LF 8. Jonathan Schoop ® 2B 9. Caleb Joseph ® C

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) OBP's in today's Brewers lineup, current as I type this. .347 .286 .440 .329 .368 .344 .222 .250 .167 For those that don't know the names to go with it, here's their lineup: Villar Pressley Braun Lucroy Carter Nieuwenhuis Hill Flores Jungmann

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) OBP's in today's Cubs lineup, current as I type this. .489 .337 .359 .363 .398 .400 .338 .367 .308 14 of their 20 games have been played against the three worst pitching staffs in baseball (ERA wise). The Cardinals and their solid starting pitching held them down. It's truly astonishing how bad some of these NL teams are. The Brewers have 3 legit major leaguers in their every day lineup. The Reds have 2 starting pitchers out of their 5 that should be in the majors, and they have the worst bullpen I've ever seen. A well-rounded team like the Cubs will just murder these weak teams.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 03:49 AM) Wow...that is a surprise, right? I'd freaking love Jalen Ramsey. Impossible he falls, right? On the radio today, McShay said he's at the top of the Cowboys draft board

Boom!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 01:44 AM) There ya go Rollins! I would put Webb in for the 9th, I trust him Hell no
