fathom

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 12, 2015 -> 01:15 AM) I don't care how hard he works, Avi is bad at baseball. This OF is full of stupid. I will never understand why they didn't make him a LF after last year

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 12, 2015 -> 02:13 AM) I'm tired of the home opener commercial to try and sell tickets where Hawk said we should have a good ball club this year. False advertisement Especially considering how awful they were in that game

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:21 AM) Another Bryant homer. Seems he's going to be binge homer guy, now that he's managed to get that first one on the board. He's going to be such a monster when wind starts blowing out.

Sox are getting blown out so much on the road.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 12, 2015 -> 02:04 AM) Damn Jeff keeps laying egg after egg. I'm convinced he's doing too much of a Tiant rotation, which is impacting his offspeed pitches.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 12, 2015 -> 02:02 AM) Might be overreacting but I just don't see Avi as ever being a productive major league player given his absolutely horrendous defence and his offensive flaws. If we decide to sell I'm listening to anything for him. Sox mgmt thinks he's a future star. No way will they deal him.

Update on what just happened?

Abreu really struggling to get any loft lately

QUOTE (daggins @ May 12, 2015 -> 01:03 AM) Anderson has 2 walks in 120 plate appearances. He is not even close to ready. Yep, and slugging very little right now. His numbers prior to the cycle were that of a slap hitter.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:00 AM) It does suck, but he's striking out more than ever so it's certainly not surprising. Yet people want him called up to the big league squad. I really doubt he'd hit over .180 or so vs big league pitching.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 12, 2015 -> 01:00 AM) overmatched He just can't hit fastballs. Not sure what it is, but his timing seems all off.

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.
