QUOTE (Butter Parque @ May 2, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) I cant believe we have to watch him next year too. I really don't think I can get the extra innings package again next year is s*** doesn't change. Its just too frustrating to watch this s***. Maybe he will retire after this year?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) I think they can afford to rebuild. s***, these veteran laden teams can't sniff .500. The Twins are .500. Fans will still come to see Abreu and the team will probably be better anyway during rebuilding than it is now. No one will come watch this boring team. Good thing season tix sales were strong

Alexei to the Padres makes a lot of sense if this continues for another month

They built a team with speed that is bad at stealing bases. Due to the need for speed, they neglected getting enough power in the lineup. Way too much reliance on Avi showing power development.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ May 2, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Sorry, I seem to like Rick Hahn's moves when they are initially completed, but he bares a helluva lot of responsibility for this mess. Shark is terrible, Gillaspie is terrible, Flowers is terrible, Danks & Noesi suck, the bench stinks, Rodon is being handled horribly... Yep, he spent a lot of money only to leave some gigantic holes.

This team is brutal. The nightmare continues as nothing changes. I feel bad for those that bought season tix packages.

Sox make so many outs bunting

First pitch swinging down 2

I still believe the Sox miss Viciedo's power. Is he even on a team?

Rodon would be a good matchup vs Cincy

Did the entire team just stop juicing this year?

WTP

Rodon's stuff is sensational, it's his command that's bad

Need a hanger on inner half here

Abreu isn't getting the bat head out. He's definitely in-between.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:26 PM) Danks Sunday yeah Off day Monday could be interesting

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Seriously, we should never have traded Semien. The Sox are going to have great chips to trade in Shark, LaRoche, Robertson, Duke, Melky to contenders who will be buying. It's imperative to get it right and get some difference makers who are young and fast and can field. Baseball is changing and Sox will have one final chance to get it right when they sell off this year's parts after the break. Screw speed, need people who can hit

Even when Sox get ahead in the count, they still can't do anything. Never seen a totally team collapse like this

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 09:08 PM) Poor baserunning bad approaches at the plate mental mistakes fielding (too numerous to mention but throwing to the wrong base has happened at least twice) pitchers not backing up sloppy baseball all around (physical mistakes) But hey, players gotta play right? It's not the same s*** we've seen for most of RVs tenure. It's the same team we saw in ST

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) How can the White Sox be this bad? Do you realize how bad Minnesota is?? Well, literally everyone is underachieving besides Robertson, Duke, Jennings and Avi.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) Literally the only positives: Avi, the pen, and Micah. Johnson?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) They are obviously managing his innings so he doesn't hit his threshold earlier in the year when it might matter. He will be in the rotation in less than a month. Not that it really matters if he hits his innings cap early. It's not going to matter if the rest of the team is playing dogs*** baseball like they are currently. I don't see how pitching in relief is helping him work in his changeup and command though. Instead, seems like it's just allowing him to overthrow and rely on two pitches.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) Or, you know, after he's PROVEN he can work as a high leverage LOOGY then you put him in. Apparently he's Matt Thornton the way RV uses him. Yea it's the 5th inning but that was a high leverage spot. Frankly Duke would have been better. But you know, relievers have roles I guess god forbid Duke would come in before the 7th. Jennings

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:01 PM) I think you are totally wrong. He is a starter and right now is the Sox number 3 starter. HE IS NOT A RELIEF PITCHER. Noesi can't pitch out of the bullpen. He might be worse then me as a relief pitcher. Yet he is in the majors Who cares about Noesi? He will likely get DFA this season.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 07:59 PM) I know. It's like the dumbest f***ing thing. Just because if worked with Sale doesn't mean it's going to work with Rodon. STOP FORCING A ROUND PEG INTO A SQUARE HOLE. Jesus. Not only are they burning his service time they are putting high stress innings on his arm and he's not working on what he needs to work on against AAA hitters. f*** this man everything this team does is stupid. Sale already had 3 pitches and good command when he came up. Rodon has 2 and mediocre command. You need to let him be a starter and get into a rhythm.
