QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 09:08 PM) Poor baserunning bad approaches at the plate mental mistakes fielding (too numerous to mention but throwing to the wrong base has happened at least twice) pitchers not backing up sloppy baseball all around (physical mistakes) But hey, players gotta play right? It's not the same s*** we've seen for most of RVs tenure. It's the same team we saw in ST

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) How can the White Sox be this bad? Do you realize how bad Minnesota is?? Well, literally everyone is underachieving besides Robertson, Duke, Jennings and Avi.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) Literally the only positives: Avi, the pen, and Micah. Johnson?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) They are obviously managing his innings so he doesn't hit his threshold earlier in the year when it might matter. He will be in the rotation in less than a month. Not that it really matters if he hits his innings cap early. It's not going to matter if the rest of the team is playing dogs*** baseball like they are currently. I don't see how pitching in relief is helping him work in his changeup and command though. Instead, seems like it's just allowing him to overthrow and rely on two pitches.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) Or, you know, after he's PROVEN he can work as a high leverage LOOGY then you put him in. Apparently he's Matt Thornton the way RV uses him. Yea it's the 5th inning but that was a high leverage spot. Frankly Duke would have been better. But you know, relievers have roles I guess god forbid Duke would come in before the 7th. Jennings

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:01 PM) I think you are totally wrong. He is a starter and right now is the Sox number 3 starter. HE IS NOT A RELIEF PITCHER. Noesi can't pitch out of the bullpen. He might be worse then me as a relief pitcher. Yet he is in the majors Who cares about Noesi? He will likely get DFA this season.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 07:59 PM) I know. It's like the dumbest f***ing thing. Just because if worked with Sale doesn't mean it's going to work with Rodon. STOP FORCING A ROUND PEG INTO A SQUARE HOLE. Jesus. Not only are they burning his service time they are putting high stress innings on his arm and he's not working on what he needs to work on against AAA hitters. f*** this man everything this team does is stupid. Sale already had 3 pitches and good command when he came up. Rodon has 2 and mediocre command. You need to let him be a starter and get into a rhythm.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 2, 2015 -> 07:59 PM) He is a starter this experiment needs to end. Another in a long line of stupid personnel decisions when handling the prospects.

Stone hates the decision to use Rodon as a reliever, you can tell

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) zero f***ing command on his fastball. Right down the middle. There's no way he can be comfortable warming up as a reliever compared to a starter

Of course....Ventura needs to be fired on Monday. They are botching the Rodon development so badly.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) Bad and poor situation to bring rodon in. I will say it now before bad things happen. Hopefully I'm dead wrong and rodon has calmed his nerves. But game on the line and you bring in a starter. It just spells trouble to me. Come on Rodon strike em out Hate it also. He needs to be starting off innings. I can't believe they are using him this way

Keeps hanging his offspeed pitch. Really should be pulled.

Abreu needs a day off. Absolutely clueless at the plate.

Nice recovery

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) Fangraphs' base running stat entering today: 29. Rockies -3.6 runs 30. White Sox -6.6 runs Hahaha so bad. So they are the worst hitting, pitching, fielding and running team in the AL?

8 homers allowed since the Sox last homered?

Soto looks like he's never seen an offspeed pitch

4/11 stealing

3 outs on the bases....thanks Vince

Why does Cooper just sit on his ass while his pitchers continue to struggle with offspeed pitches? It's like he's waited until after the damage is done to try and help out.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 2, 2015 -> 07:09 PM) Wasn't Hunter striked out. Definitely close

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 2, 2015 -> 07:09 PM) He didn't, NY did He blew it on the field

Why keep calling for that awful pitch? What happened to his splitter.

And Noesi hangs another pitch, game is tied. He has no business starting over Rodon.
