fathom

Hell of a start by Rodon. What a stud

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 03:08 AM) Damn it Eaton. Did the same thing last week

That is just awful by Eaton. Didn't get behind the ball at all.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 02:01 AM) It was always gonna free fall, injury or no Possibly, but it happened as soon as he tweaked his knee. Tonight's the healthiest he's looked running in a while though.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 03:00 AM) This whole line up needs to get going. Gallardo didn't have his best command tonight, but it's still surprising he went 6 and didn't give up an earned run.

Need to get Avi going again. That average is free falling. Looks possibly like he doesn't trust his knee when he swings.

The 1-2-3 isn't afraid to have quick innings.

I'd love to see Sanchez try to pull the ball more, especially with a runner being held on first. He's taking very weak swings despite being up in the count.

very good AB by Beckham, tied it up

Avi running really well this inning

Nice AB by Alexei

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 01:07 AM) How many lefties have the White Sox faced? How would you feel about his chances vs, David Price? Maybe he could run into one and hit a homer. That's more than I can say for about 5 of the hitters in the lineup vs LHP.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 02:04 AM) Under no circumstance does Davidson deserve a major league job. He'd be embarrassed by major league pitching, even in a platoon role. He's actually doing quite well vs LHP these days.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 01:59 AM) Let's be honest, it doesn't matter how good Sanchez's defense is if he's going to hit like a pitcher. I'm cool with giving him a few more weeks, but if he doesn't show something we'll have no other choice but to bring back Micah or give Beckham a shot. I'd rather move Beckham to 2nd and platoon Conor/Davidson at 3rd than bring Johnson back to play 2nd.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 12:56 AM) He's in there for his bat anyways, wait, what? Not his fault, more surprised it doesn't happen more.

Big out, nice play by Sanchez

Twice now it looks like Flowers blocked the ump's view on a possible strike by popping up for a fake throw.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 12:44 AM) I still can't believe Houston didn't pick Rodon Miami's decision even worse, given the local connection to him.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 12:43 AM) I think it's almost time to start Gordon at 2B more instead of Sanchez. +1 If you can't replace Alexei and his abysmal offense, you can't keep playing Sanchez as well. Just makes the lineup too weak. The gap between Beckham's offense to Sanchez's offense is significantly greater than Sanchez's defense to Beckham's defense.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 12:40 AM) All I can go by is what the Rangers' radio announcers are saying. Using logic now, it's obvious that the gun down there is off by 2-3 MPH. Because if the velocities were correct, it would be a red flag...like the start where Sale was maxing out at 87-90 MPH in Arlington. Up to 94 in the first

Given Melky's struggles vs LHP and Bonifacio's struggles, I'd love to see the Sox try to trade Bonifacio for the recently-DFA'd Justin Ruggiano

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 12:34 AM) His route was straight back. Watched the replay, nothing terrible by Avi. More positioning than anything else. That was incredibly nasty by Rodon the last 3 batters.

Umpire has a tiny zone...not the best scenario for Rodon

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 12:29 AM) The defense is always really horrible whenever Rodon is pitching. Not fair. Samardzija and Q as well. In general, it's just been a bad defensive team, especially in plays not being called an error but should be made. I didn't see the leadoff double though.

Well, another big first inning against the Sox. Same old, same old
