QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:59 AM) White Sox will be averaging 8,099 per game by the time that player pays off at the major league level. They will trade him this season. Hahn's job is riding on fixing the problems for 2016. That would be a very stupid approach. If it fails this year, they can't try doing the same band-aid approach again. The organization needs to actually develop some players and give them a chance.

Hopefully Sox hit the ball out of the infield tonight. Be nice to see Avi pick up another homer.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:57 AM) We'll get the comp pick. He'll improve enough that he'll be worth 1 year, $14m. Still a really bad trade. EDIT: This assumes we don't trade him. I think they'll trade him if this continues

Sucks to see Davidson's batting average slowly creeping towards .200

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:55 AM) This team was so good this weekend though right? To be honest, I thought they faced two of the worst pitchers they'll see all year in Marquis and Lorenzen. They were able to square up Marquis, but Lorenzen should have probably given up 6-8 runs with the stuff he had yesterday.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:55 AM) Alexei plays the number one position where we have talent behind him. Just saying. Father Time has taken a few steps away from him this year.

The worst thing is Samardzija's trade value isn't nearly high enough to get a huge piece in return right now.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:53 AM) I was thinking about going to the game since I'm only an hour or so away from Milwaukee. I'm glad I didn't go to watch this garbage. I saved so much time/money. Pretty sure the team took this same advice so far.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:52 AM) Does Jeff have a clue out there? He's just not good this year. His pitches have been way too easy to square up. I'm not sure if the contract stuff has got to his head, but he looks like a total flop so far.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:49 AM) Why don't we have any guys like Matt Carpenter....extreme fatigue syndrome....shows up 7 hours before every game, strenuous workouts/exercise regimen, etc. The last really hard worker was Pierre. Eaton and Abreu are the closest, I guess. Maybe Adam's just been too overwhelmed by the new contract. We have no idea who works hard. Avi showed an amazing work ethic returning last year. There's a lot of things to question about this squad, but their work ethic is something I don't worry about.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 11, 2015 -> 11:42 PM) Stats show the slider as being his best pitch, but it's rated poorly this year And that to me seems insane, as it was always his splitter that was his go-to K pitch.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 11, 2015 -> 11:41 PM) When will our runners learn to hit the front of the bag and not the middle? You don't become one of the worst base running teams in history by doing things the right way!

QUOTE (Real @ May 11, 2015 -> 11:40 PM) they don't come mentally prepare day in/day out, it's just whatever, too relaxed comin to collect that paycheck, but not helping to generate that money Beckham stirred the drink, only to have the "amazing" starting pitching piss all over it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:37 AM) I can't remember a good slider he has thrown all year Not sure what the stats show, but when I watched him on the Cubs, he dominated when it was just fastballs and then splitters. His slider has always been a mediocre pitch it seems.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:35 AM) sigh... Jeff's breaking ball has been trash nearly all year Yep, from day one, it's been nothing close to what it was last year to start the season. Hahn should be shopping him sooner rather than later, as this organization would be nuts to bring him back next season.

Cooper is just the best.

Team looks to have their focus yet again. They really know how to carry momentum from a nice win into the next game. Sarcasm, of course

Alexei seems like he's been awful defensively this year.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:31 AM) I can't stand our catchers Team just gives away too many bases while also running into outs on offense. It's a horrible combination.

Don't want to see Peralta getting so many grounders already.

For comparison, attendance was up about 2,500 from last year's Saturday/Sunday of Mother's Day weekend.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:03 AM) I actually wonder if winning will solve the problem. The White Sox have been a losing team but they have 2 of the top stars of the game in Abreu and Sale. Now obviously Sale only goes every 5th day but last year Abreu was a stud and yet attendance declined. Good news is attendance is up a few thousand this year but they are still one of the worst drawing teams in baseball. They had the superstars last year, but they didn't win enough to get fans interested. I really think with the buzz they had going into the year, if they would have got off to a good start, attendance would have increased by a lot. I actually do think the Bulls/Hawks games going on at the same time does have a significant impact on attendance.

I'm no James fan, but I will give him credit for not celebrating/taunting in front of Bulls bench after the game winner.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 10, 2015 -> 10:12 PM) With the way things have shaken out, I think it is very fair to put Thibs's job on the line for this series, personal squabbles or not. If we win, he gets a good shot to keep the job and if we lose it's hard to justify how he couldn't get this team past a hobbled Cavs Honestly, no reason to even consider if he'll stay around. I'm pretty sure they could win every game by 100 and he'd still be gone.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 10, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) the ball hit out of bounds with 1.5 left, it was the right call. If Niko doesn't touch the ball to hit it out of bounds they wouldn't of had a chance But did it actually hit the line? Looked in to me.
