QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Corey Ray is a guy I keep thinking we will get for some reason. Unlikely it seems, at this point though. Him and Senzel going to be long gone it seems like.

Sox have to show they can be contenders this year to draw some buzz in the city over the summer. We all know it's a Hawks/Cubs town right now, as I'm sure the walk-up crowds won't do much to impact an attendance that is already suffering from poor season ticket sales (we know it has to be poor because there wasn't a single fluff article this offseason saying how ticket sales have been good).

Think the obvious solution reading all these internal solutions is Hahn needs to make a trade sooner rather than later.

Rollins can still hit LHP

QUOTE (lord chas @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 03:20 AM) The drug test urine collector should be knocking on Jake's hotel room tommorrow morning He very well may be completely clean. With that said, if he was doing this on the Sox, I would be skeptical about where the increase in ability came from. Felt that way about a few Sox guys in the past as well.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 03:17 AM) Is this the low point for Sox fans in terms of their relative position against the Cubs? If it wasn't last post-season, or 2003...it feels like it is coming soon. Would hate to compare the tv and radio ratings for the respective series this week...but it would be interesting to see how many more were watching Arrieta tonight (granted, the no-hitter will attract more the last three innings, but the "average" over the broadcast) and compare it with the Sale start. Of course, that's not altogether fair since it was a day game, but the Cubs are just sucking all the air out of the room. It almost makes you cringe HOPING that something bad happens (not an injury to Arrieta)...that strange sensation of rooting almost as hard against the Cubs as for the White Sox. Sox are off to a good start. Things could be much, much worse. I know you don't live in Chicago but espn1000 doesn't even have anyone covering the Sox.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 03:18 AM) And hit 440 ft home runs as a pitcher. He looks like a professional wrestler

Hawks were on Comcast and Cubs on plus, FYI

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 03:17 AM) While it seems unnecessary, a no hitter is a no hitter. Dang the Cubs are nuts. NL just absolutely sucks outside a few teams. Must be nice to have ten games in a row against Reds, Brewers and Braves

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 03:15 AM) SI seems to think it was Pilates and his diet that made him a better pitcher. I don't think Loaiza was this good when he was signed and turned it around. I understand they were chasing history but I think it's stupid to have your pitcher throw 120 pitches when he is ahead by 16. Why isn't everyone doing Pilates if it makes you gain 2 mph

From the parts I saw tonight, it was the worst command he's had in a long time. Reds pretty much gave up after the first inning. An amazing stat I saw is the last 6 times Cubs scored in first inning for him, he hasn't allowed a run in that game.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 02:09 AM) 2 no hitters in his last 11 starts 20-1 in his last 24 starts He's good Best stretch of our lifetime by far I believe

Hey at least he threw 120 pitches in a 16-0 game

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 01:54 AM) Rizzo hitting a buck 90 avg so far. And still has an OPS over .800 I believe

Reds really do have the worst pen I have ever seen

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 02:44 AM) I'm not watching. He calling strikes in the dirt? Gigantic zone last inning for him

Umpire wants to be a part of history

Thru 6

Arrieta at it again. No hitter thru 4 and 2-2 at plate.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 12:33 AM) When you go back and look at his minor league career, it really wasn't that great either. Modest OPS totals. He needs to go down. Just another massive scouting blunder. Funnier aspect is they thought he could play CF

He gets two lefties this weekend. If he still looks lost, send him down Sunday night

Bringing in no insurance in case Avi flopped was simply inexcusable. I will never understand having Sands on the roster coming out of ST instead of a lefty bat. Things will improve for this offense, but the pitching will fall back to earth as well.

Think we can clearly state Austin Jackson is not on PEDs this year

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) Duke lost this game Yeah, no. Terrible offense did

He just can't get the job done. Massive warning track power this year.
