QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 03:52 AM) Don't forget Flowers who can't hit Well, that's a given. Really not sure what they're saving Conor for tonight. He's easily one of the most dangerous bats vs RHP

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:50 AM) Eaton and cabrerra are really the main issue right now. Neither are on base enough to affect defensive shifts against abreu and laroche. The rest of the team is fine. Alexei has been absolutely terrible. Sanchez can't hit at this level either. At one point tonight, 6 of the 9 hitters in the lineup were at .235 or lower with minimal power.

Can Webb start? Great job by him of throwing strikes tonight

You don't see many short relievers pitch parts of 3 innings. This has been a very weird game.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:37 AM) This offense is so bad. Avi's lost his line drive swing from earlier in the year, and he's back to chopping everything to the left side.

Great inning for Webb!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:25 AM) What the f*** is wrong with Melky? He's just not hitting the ball hard anymore. Even when he does, he's not strong enough to hit it over the head of the outfielder. It's just astonishing to see how weak he's been.

High change-up, and he chops it once again

That change-up could be the perfect pitch for Melky to hit into the stands

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:17 AM) You guys are nuts. Sox don't have the roster to be pinch hitting here and there. All the candidates to pinch hit suck as well. Conor and Shuck way better vs RHP than Sanchez/Flowers

Ugh, just gave away those 2 outs

Why not use Conor for Flowers? Not like you're going to use him to hit for anyone else.

Heck of a turn!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 03:10 AM) Does he throw something besides a fastball? Had a great slider last time out

What a strange utilization of Webb. From mediocre AAA season to 8th inning man

This team is sorely lacking a righty 8th inning man

Nats just got screwed on a bad call due to Joe West and his crew blowing an earlier replay. Instant replay is still a disaster.

Texas can't field and Sox still can't cash in

Impressive speed by DeShields

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 03:36 AM) Ruggiano got dfa'd today. .263/.343/.474 against lefties this season. Pick him up to platoon with Melky Already suggested it in this thread

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 03:36 AM) Duke coming into this game really early. That's probably going to come back to bite him, unless they misidentified Jennings. It's good managing, as they have their big guns coming up and they're all lefty

Sure looked like strike 3

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 03:29 AM) Garbage season for Melky. Have to get him out of the 2nd spot. Him and Alexei are legitimately the two worst hitters in baseball this year according to offensive WAR for fangraphs

Absolutely brutal swings by Melky from the right side. He might as well hit lefties vs LHP, it can't be worse.

That was brutal announcing
