QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 04:32 AM) A small part, Eaton and laroche much more I obviously hate LaRoche's contact issues, but he's at least been a big contributor in 2 of the Sox wins this year. More than what can be said about some of his teammates.

FYI, Sox have scored 2 runs or less in over half their games (8/15). No clue what they can do to fix things at this point, to be honest.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 04:30 AM) It did nothing for the white sox. The starting three were not the ones that needed to show anything. I don't blame them due to the conditions and everything else going on, but having such a small crowd tonight took away some of the electricity you normally see after a fight. There seemed to be some pretty audible Lets Go Royals chants during extra innings.

Biggest issue with Sox lineup right now is that there is no power at all outside of Abreu/LaRoche. Hard to score a lot of runs when you have minimal power and a team that doesn't walk much. 3rd base is a position that looks to need a serious upgrade. With Johnson/Eaton on this roster likely to be starting for the next few seasons, you can't have gaping power issues in RF and 3B as well.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 05:17 AM) What is wrong with his mechanics. He looks incredibly stiff vs RHP, which slows down his bat speed and makes it nearly impossible for him to clear his hips to pull the ball with any authority. If you watch him against LHP, he seems to open up so much better.

The Sox have completely turned into the Royals b****

And of course, there's one of those flares

How can a hitting coach look at Avi's mechanics and not try to fix them?

can't believe LaRoche has turned into Dunn. It's early, but Morales looks to have been a much better possible fit.

Foul by probably half an inch, figures

Oh yay, chase ball 3

Said this a lot last year, but Petricka has got to develop a better offspeed pitch.

It makes little sense for the outfield to be playing so deep with Dyson on first base. Anything close to a double and he easily scores.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 05:06 AM) I hate this season This team makes winning games seem very difficult. Every returning player besides Abreu from last year's offense has been a disgrace.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 05:07 AM) Also avi just sucks He's so freaking slow out there

Awful, awful pitch by Petricka.

Wow, speed kills. Oh, see ya greg!

Just try one pitch out

Moose looks pretty great at the plate this year.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 04:58 AM) Dumb decision to take out Micah. Not only can he hit lefties he can bunt better then Emilio can hit and Micah is the better defender. Tallest midget

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 03:56 AM) Offense...so amazingly bad. Extra innings just mean more chances for our guys to lower their already laughable batting averages. Not only bad, but has anyone hit a ball hard since Abreu's double?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 04:55 AM) You guys that hate the bunt can rip me all you want. But the inning we had a guy on second and no outs, a good team has Melky bunt him to third and voila we win with a fly ball. But nooooo. We can't ask Melky, a power hitter to bunt him to third. That'd be so wrong. Well guess what, LaRoche K'd and Avi grounded out.

Melky's swing is pathetic against LHP

Swing for the fences Melky
