Wow, this defense has been worse than last season so far.

That's one of the worst pitches I've ever seen Konerko swing at.

Does Ventura know Gillaspie was horrendous vs LHP last year? Kinda baffling to see him batting so high in the order. As Balta has continued to state, the construction of this roster is just insane.

Anderson double, Hawkins homer!

Enjoyable effort by the offense today. Lots of good at bats outside of Garcia/De Aza.

Beede struggling again tonight vs Tennessee. Hoffman to face Rice now.

Shouldn't that be an unearned run for Danish?

Not a good time for a blown call (that's not reviewable)

Heck of a swing there by Flowers!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 11:03 PM) Nice outing Johnson Left in 3 batters too late, and game is now out of hand. Time for Petricka to prove he belongs at this level.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 11:01 PM) I've seen enough of Johnson It will be interesting to see how he rebounds from this bad start. It's definitely not impossible to imagine him needing more time in AAA, especially if his control issues have resurfaced again.

Talk about leaving a pitcher in for way too long. Oh well, just a terrible start by Johnson today. With his next start in Colorado, he better be a lot sharper.

Pretty simple play by Cain, but still their outfield defense has prevented a few runs now. Abreu's going to get a ton of inside fastballs...hope he doesn't get hit too often.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 08:59 PM) If this team ever contends we need several different arms including starters. Got two years to worry about that, IMO. Adding a quick-riser like Hoffman should help the foundation of Sale/Quintana. After those two, it's anyone's guess about who could be in the rotation.

Johnson's stuff is really bad out there.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 09:53 PM) I guess I'm confused. It looks like he picked up McEwing who was waving him the whole time. I don't see what he did wrong. That's on McEwing. Dumb wave. He didn't do anything wrong...just thought he got a bad jump off the bat possibly.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) Yes reality of not getting to a gapper is doing me a disservice. Uh huh. His defense has been putrid thus far this season, that play was not one of them. I'm not sure he could have caught it, but it just seems like he's not getting good reads on anything hit out there right now. Like you said, why play him so shallow with wind flying out and Johnson trying to pitch Gordon inside?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) What? He was being waved home. On first view, seemed like he wasn't as far past 2nd as expected when the camera view changed. He was running all the way though.

Stay hot Flowers...but jeez Alexei, did he know there were 2 outs?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) The sad thing is he hasn't actually looked bad. He's going to need to throw harder than 90mph

QUOTE (beautox @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) I'm sure he'll pull threw it but he hasn't looked sharp out in RF these 4 games. He wasn't good out there last year as well.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) 6 runs in two days for Garcia? In the 2nd game, he cost them a few runs as well.

Jeez, what in the world is going on with Avi? He looks like he's running in quicksand.

Looking like how he pitched in ST.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 10:54 PM) f***ing Nate Jones cost the team the game! Avi Garcia played about as bad of a game as you can play.
