QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 27, 2015 -> 01:39 AM) And of course he coughs it up Look at the junk he's throwing up there. Toronto is a bad match up for him, but letting Thole beat him is inexcusable

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 27, 2015 -> 12:27 AM) CALL IT!! Bombed him here last year

There we go!

Hit a blast Jose

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 27, 2015 -> 01:19 AM) I am beginning to believe both may not be MLB caliber. Johnson should be, but he needs a full year in AAA

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 27, 2015 -> 01:15 AM) He's been predictably disastrous. .156/.200/.188. Another sign of the perils of BABIP as people thought he was destroying AAA. I thought he would make more contact

Wouldn't shock me if we see Beckham at 2nd and Davidson at 3rd in a few weeks

Slap hitters need to make more contact than Carlos is

JB earning his playing time

Just saw the Abreu misplay. Why do they continue to put him at first more than LaRoche?

Eaton needs to run to a spot and try and catch the ball.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 27, 2015 -> 01:01 AM) Thanks Jose! What happened

Oh come on, get the third out. Danks throwing meatballs

Too bad they didn't go all out for Donaldson this offseason.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2015 -> 10:48 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 2m2 minutes ago Avi Garcia (right knee) won't play tonight or Wednesday. 'Get him off the turf and give him a few days of not doing anything here,' RV said. Sounds like smart plan. Maybe DH him one game on Thursday, and hope he's good to go on Friday.

White Sox have Carlos Rodon pitching on Friday vs Houston, as Brady Aiken recovers from Tommy John Surgery

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) You're trying to create a narrative. Resigning your own players and one big acquisition isn't looked at as a "big offseason" by the industry. The Sox have nothing to compare with this past offseason really. '04-'05 brought in a big influx of players but it was veteran scrap heap pick ups and moving on from very productive hitters in Maggs/Lee. These are unchartered territories for the Sox. Sure seemed like a huge few days at the time. Those "All In" billboards were up in no time.

QUOTE (gatnom @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) If you want to sustain bandwagon fans, you need to keep winning. If you win enough, some of them will become legitimate long term fans. Also doesn't hurt KC's attendance when they win their first 7 games and get the fans to buy in that they'll be good again this year.

My fault, it's Thursday. Can a mod change the title please? Also, Rodon going on Friday in Houston.

Dan Hayes @CSNHayes · 3m 3 minutes ago Chris Beck will start Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (LDF @ May 26, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) you do have a great point. i esp was spouting on Volquez. but the other part is the abysmal beginning this team had. i am trying to think this out, if the sox had picked up a pitcher, Volq and a cat, could this team have started out differently??? i hate to say this, and its not b/c i want to pounce on him..... it goes to RV and the FO and how much they had in this recipe. Hard to tell, right now it's just a worst case scenario in basically every aspect. Every possible question mark coming into the season has been a negative: - Abreu avoiding soph slump - LaRoche/Alexei avoiding history of bad starts - any question marks about Melky hitting without help - Johnson's defense at 2nd - Sanchez not being able to hit enough - Conor's defense - weak catching tandem - 4th/5th starters (Danks/Noesi)

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 26, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) You're not wrong about the 1-3 starters. Our defense surely isn't helping. They're all out FIPing their ERAs though so I I am not sure how much it's their ability. Sale - ERA 4.21, FIP 3.49, FIPx 3.35. Samardzija - ERA 4.38, FIP 3.72, FIPx 3.84 Quintana - ERA 4.67, FIP 3.38, FIPx 3.73 Defense has been killing the ERA of the pitchers, as there have been just an insane amount of plays that haven't gone as errors that have resulted in big innings for the opposition. Last night's first inning might be the best example of this that you'll ever see.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2015 -> 10:08 PM) It did, because I keep getting told that it isn't about one appearance, it is about multiple appearances. because the Sox have gotten to the playoffs, and had attedance fall. For KC, I wonder if it has to do with the chase to get back so they can close the deal this year? They were so close last season, they clearly have left their fans wanting more.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 26, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) i personally think that there is one sentence that has not been mention, i think. the fans frustration for the sox FO for not finishing off the job. i really think many fans, without really knowing it, are more upset at that, b/c many saw the rebuild of the team. with the way the team started and with Sale being hurt. is it the FO responsibility for not obtaining more pieces? Hahn could have added Russell Martin and Volquez to this team, and they'd still be mediocre at this point. No way anyone could have imagined about 85% of the roster underachieving at this point.
