QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 01:59 AM) Bryant's been an RBI machine, 9 in 35+ AB's. Of course no homers yet, but still has very reasonable BB/K ratio. Fowler's been the perfect addition for them so far. Good table setter for that 2-3-4. The injuries in the division have really helped close any talent gaps that existed.

I would have never guessed that a few years after the trade that Iglesias would be a better hitter than Avi.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 03:43 AM) The bright side that gets less bright every time I say it is that this team stands to benefit from playing as many minutes together as possible before facing better opponents. They look a lot like guys who didn't get much time on the court together this season. Can't tell if it's actually helping, though, or if guys aren't healthy enough to benefit from extra playing time They look tired as hell. Missed a few layups in 4th simply due to fatigue

If Bulls lose this series, Thibs might get fired between end of game and the post game press conference

Team has been so undisciplined this series.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:47 PM) Why does it seem we always tend to have the streakiest of streaky hitters in our minor league system? Usually what happens when you go after super toolsy guys that need a lot of refining (Thompson, Anderson, Hawkins). High ceiling, very low floors for all 3 of them when they were drafted.

Beck's sure not missing a lot of bats this year. Disappointing after his excellent performance in ST that we all saw on tv. Maybe he can make the transition to a set-up man?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 12:40 AM) If you wanted to get rid of Danks, we should have traded him to the Angels for Josh Hamilton and gobs of money. To quote Hawk circa 2005, where would he have played?

double/triple for Hawkins in first two ABs

Seth Lakso @SethLakso · 53m 53 minutes ago Engel Beltre was in Knights original lineup, but was removed 10 min ago. No word as to why.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:26 PM) Brandon McCarthy, torn UCL Suddenly, Amaro Jr. looks smart for holding on to Hamels. The Dodgers pitching is so thin right now.

They're dropping like flies in the NL Central. Homer Bailey might need TJS now. Yay, more starts for Jason Marquis.

Looked at some milb stats, and it appears Anderson and K. Walker are tied for 4th in steals (Engel's right behind them). Also, any word on Montas?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) Damn that sucks, but it's in the best interest of everyone. Yep, safety first. In terms of on the field, it doesn't suck that Robertson gets a day to recover from his performance yesterday.

Dan Hayes @CSNHayes · 10s 10 seconds ago #Orioles announced that tonight's game has been postponed. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:20 PM) wtf...they're closing the gates as fans trying to get in?? They should get those 600 out of the park now so they can get home while it's still light outside.

Amazing how poorly this would make MLB look tonight if they play this

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:08 PM) Doug Padilla Doug Padilla – ‏@ESPNChiSox Just spoke to a Baltimore police officer who said the gates to Camden Yards have been closed. Maybe 600 in the park already before closure. They are absolutely nuts not to postpone this.

With regards to the game, the safety of the fans, players and event staff should always be the most important thing. I can't see how it's safe for the fans and event staff to get to/leave the game today.

Looks like it's getting closer to the park ‏@connor_guercio C gate at Camden Yards just closed down.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:25 PM) Agreed. Although I wouldn't mind if the game was canceled because then Noesi wouldn't have to pitch lol. They'd probably have a doubleheader on Wednesday, which would hurt the rotation given the upcoming suspensions.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:25 PM) I'm not praising the guy. The White Sox aren't going to have a team of 13 Chris Sale's and 12 Jose Abreu's. A guy like Danks who gives the team a chance to win with a decent enough game has a role, I'm not enthusiastically awaiting his starts but I'm also not just burying the guy. It can get worse, people. It can get so much worse. Actually, he's been just about the worst starter in the AL over the last two seasons. If they can get rid of him and save some money, it would be a win-win.

I assume if they were going to postpone it, they would have already done so.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) Productive? Hardly. He hasn't had an ERA+ of 90, or FIP under 4.00 since 2011. His 2015 number is actually less than his ERA+ of 2014, Even his FIP stands are 4.90 this season. Don't let the strike outs from yesterday fool you. John Danks is still a bad pitcher. Along with the very likely scenario there's no spot in the rotation for him next year.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) The Sox do not play in Cincy this year Good catch, it's at the Cell
