fathom

At least they didn't get swept

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 06:42 PM) Flowers is a huge problem also combo is worthless. The 2-2 pitch to Cespedes was a horrible pitch call

What's the chances of actual severe rain?

The Tigers are just flat out better and smarter

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 06:40 PM) Where the f*** is the pitching coach? Too busy being grumpy on the radio

It's about time Cooper earns his paycheck again and helps Q make some adjustments

Flowers is clueless as well back there

Eaton has made a lot of outs on the bases so far this year. Just an all around nightmare start for him.

Jeez, pitch right down the plate to Bryant not called strike 3. Way better pitch that what the Cubs complained about to Myers yesterday.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) Is this Drabek guy worthy of being on the Sox roster? I'm not a fan. No

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 07:45 PM) Broken bat flare single to center and Wrigley looks like USCF after the Konerko grand slam in the 2005 WS. I think Bryant is going to be great offensively, but it os already beyond annoying. Couldn't agree more. Maybe we should remind them that Beckham's first career hit was a blooper as well

With Trout hitting his 100th and 101st homers last night, I decided to review this ancient thread: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...=72142&st=0

Don Kelly would have been used in this game if he was still on the roster

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 07:46 PM) Nice to see a big lead. Maybe Cameron Bairstow will even get some playing time. Not every day you see a 6'9" power forward shoot .214 from the field

Standing ovation for Bryant after he draws a walk

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 07:42 PM) Man Dombrowski sure can find hitters. They do a great job of fixing hitters. It's only been a few weeks, but Gose looks fantastic so far.

CSINAA

Let Sale go 5 at least, and then maybe cap him at 90 pitches if he's not at that mark

So I was thinking this morning about what players prior to the draft/during draft selection show did I really miss on (as well as the few I guess right on). Here they are: - I was completely against the White Sox drafting a "grinder" from the northeast out of high school. To me, I thought Trout's ceiling would be that of Aaron Rowand. - I loved the scouting videos of Stetson Allie and Matthew Hobgood - When the Sox drafted Chris Sale, a part of me was hoping they'd take Josh Sale instead - As many on here know, I was all in on Rodon last year and have huge expectations for him - I thought Beckham would be a multi-year all-star, but deep down I was worried he benefited a lot from using an aluminum bat

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) damn Avi showing some quick hands. He looks great against LHP

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 06:39 PM) I would absolutely love for balta or DA to throw this in my face in October after the Sox win the World Series, but I hate this Sox team so far. Nothing worse than a boring team that plays stupid and lacks energy. They're digging themselves into a hole that might be too big to get out of in the division.

Nice job keeping momentum

Big batter here for Sale

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 06:59 PM) I was curious how you would put a negative spin on this. LaRoche has a .533 SLG (SSS), something Adam Dunn had not done since before signing a four year contract with the White Sox. Obviously since he hit a homer, wasn't saying it to be insulting. Just the similarities to Dunn are striking to me: name, lefty DH coming over from Nats, homers a lot, striking out a ton, low average, can't hit lefties, great clubhouse guy

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 06:55 PM) Las Vegas paid off. Hopefully not partying with Stoll
