Why are you chasing a borderline pitch down 2 to start inning on 1-0 count?

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:44 PM) They are going to score 3 runs this week

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) So, should we use Duke as our ROogy. Righties 0-6 against him this year

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) Are we really intentionally walking a .154 hitter? Sure paid off

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) Are we really intentionally walking a .154 hitter? Strange, seemed like the guy to go after

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Duke can't get anyone out His pitching makes my soul hurt

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Just wasting winnable games against bad teams +1...to be fair, they've won more of these 50/50 games than they've lost. Problem is starting tomorrow, they face legit offenses.

Abreu vs Street's slider in the 9th should be comical

Cowley was on the radio today saying Samardzija used to "bully" the Sox catchers into calling the game he wanted to throw. He said this year that Avila and Navarro are much more willing to stand up for themselves to call the game Cooper wants.

Nice AB for Avila...let Saladino run for him

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Ishikawa 2015 had a 105 wRC+ at AAA. 2016 it's 107. Jerry Sands 2015 was 176. I'm not sure relying on Ishikawa to do anything is a sound bet. It at least gives you a player who can possible scoop at throw at 1B.

No excuse for Avi to ever be facing a side-arming RHP in the 8th inning of a game. The construction of the Sox bench better be fixed after today's game.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) Got any other ideas? If no one is going to hit right now, you might as well stack the guys that are actually hitting Your idea is fine, just that the options are soooooooooooo bad. It shouldn't be this hard to find a DH that can hit decently vs RHP. Where's Calvin Pickering when you need him.

Nice job by Petricka

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) Really need to shake this lineup up or something, these guys are dead on their feet. Eaton Lawrie Cabrera Abreu Frazier Saladino Rollins AJax Avila that's depressing

I wonder if we see Ishikawa called up for E. Johnson after this game. Really need a back-up 1B and a lefty bat on the bench.

The goal against Weaver is to make him throw the ball over the plate. Swinging at the first pitch out of the zone is exactly what he wants the opposition to do.

Jackson 2 for last 26 with one walk, no extra base hits. By all means, keep moving him up in the order.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:10 PM) There's one! There we go...notice the pitch was right over the plate!

These first pitch outs are ridiculous. Is Frazier really going up looking first pitch slider to lead off an inning? If so, that explains why he's sucked so far.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) It's really amazing how often they bring in players and all of a sudden they forgot how to hit. Don't know how Stevenson still has a job. Avila is definitely gonna follow in the footsteps of Keppinger and never be heard from again after his Sox career.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) too soon to blame Steverson? last year historically bad offense... I always need a scapegoat Hell no, he should have NEVER been brought back

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) This offense is complete garbage. Don't worry, they'll keep rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic hoping Steverson will fix them. I don't blame offensive FA for not signing here,

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) Abreu will break out of his slump, but other than that I dont see this getting much better. Eaton, Lawrie and Melky should at least be OK but the rest of it is a walking disaster. Garcia will be gone sooner than later. Avila is washed up. Jackson will be better but by no means he's an offensive stud. There are definitely at bats to be had for a new addition. You forgot Frazier, who will be fine.

3 offensive players on the roster with positive offensive WAR. Somehow, things keep getting worse offensively.
