QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:31 AM) MELKY!!!! **** YEAH!!!! That got an "oh man" from me when he hit it. That's the Melky at the Cell I remember terrorizing the White Sox

Joba's not afraid to hang a pitch

MELKY!

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:28 AM) MELKMAN PLEASE HIT A HOME RUN Just get on base, Abreu's looked good tonight

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 7, 2015 -> 04:26 AM) Flowers pops up again. Why is he batting in that situation?

Another out when the Sox got it to at least three balls. Flowers is just so bad, no idea what Hahn was thinking.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 7, 2015 -> 04:19 AM) Damn. He probably has something wrong with his arm/shoulder. That's how it usually works when guys like Sale start to struggle, right? He was throwing 96mph again in the first inning, so I would highly doubt he's injured. Just bad mechanics this year and the very puzzling decision to not have him throw as many sliders. A lot of damage done to him when he had 2 strikes on the hitter tonight.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 7, 2015 -> 04:17 AM) Didn't watch it til now. Has Sale stunk tonight? Sox unable to win two in a row vs. Detroit. No surprise there, barring a rally. He was horrible, even worse than last game in Minnesota where they got a lot of cheap hits. Maybe the two worst consecutive starts in his Sox career?

Another offspeed pitch to VMart. It's like the coaches/Flowers aren't watching the games to see he can't hit fastballs.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:15 AM) Damn right. That was great What happened?

Crap, Cardinals couldn't make this a non-horrible sports night.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:07 AM) Gosh this team is hard to watch. Can't hit, Can't field, and can barely pitch Unfortunately, it's just a boring brand of baseball.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:04 AM) Avi may hit 30 Hr's in 3 years total That's going to require a big finish by him.

Offense just can't get a big hit tonight with anyone on.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:39 AM) This is just not correct. They've roped a lot of balls right to Detroits OFers. There's been some bad luck and some bad AB's, but this defeatism that runs in direct contradiction of reality is annoying. In the last 3 innings, the outs have all been soft, despite getting ahead of the count.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:38 AM) Sox will win this game. Robin's going to manage the Tigers the rest of the game?

Melky's swing vs LHP is so messed up. Seems to chop everything to the SS. Nice managing by Ausmus that inning.

Not a lot of hard hit balls given all the good hitters counts tonight

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 7, 2015 -> 02:30 AM) Flowers is 2 for his last 25. It's time for a change, especially given how the pitching has struggled.

What part of Sale's performance tonight and this season showed that he should stay in the game this inning?

This coaching staff is insane

Not sure why he's still out there?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 7, 2015 -> 02:05 AM) That's so worrying. I hope Hahn doesn't think that. It goes back to how they keep trying to make Avi something he isn't. Instead of being a slugging right fielder who's batting 5th vs RHP, he's more suited as just a solid LF who you shouldn't count on for anything more than 15 homers.

If the front office thinks Avi is a future 30/30, it shows you just how terrible they are at scouting. Maybe 30/30 is 30 weak ground outs to left side and 30 misplays in RF?

Ugh, can't be chasing ball 4.
