7 homers allowed now by Samardzija. There's definitely a part of me that's fine waiting to re-sign him until he proves he can be a top pitcher in the AL.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 09:18 PM) The hate from the posters fuels him Nothing new for me. I fueled Pods with all the power he needed in the 2005 World Series

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) Tyler Flowers, ladies and gentlemen. It's a disappointment they brought him back. He was so bad for so long last year. He doesn't seem like the type of catcher that will help a team compete.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) Cubs have hit a lot of HR's against the Sox this spring. Cubs have hit a lot of homers against everyone

6 homers allowed by Samardzija in approximately 15 innings

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 08:56 PM) FWIW, both Davidson errors occurred on the same play. Booted it and then threw it away. IIRC, it was back-to-back plays

QUOTE (Baron @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) Well that's the thing...who do you replace him with? Jason Castro when the Astros are terrible again

QUOTE (Baron @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 09:34 PM) Flowers looks like he's ready for another rough year at the plate. Hahn hopefully next year will replace him. I don't think he'll last past June if he's struggling and the team is in contention.

Samardzija continues to struggle

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) Sounds like Rick Barnes will resign at Texas. Arizona State, Tennessee, and St. John's all came open today. Tim Doyle says Steve Lavin to DePaul. Makes Lovett to DePaul seem likely

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 06:20 PM) Exactly. There is a lot of common ground between what Samard has said since he got here, and what the White Sox have to offer him. I think it gets done. His comments are different than what everyone was suggesting over the last year, where they said he would want top dollar in order to help out his peers and the union. Not that I'm saying he still won't do that, but his comments should be perceived as a positive for the Sox.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 06:21 PM) I'd be shocked if the White Sox outbid everyone else like the Cubs and Nationals with the other two guys. I highly doubt he goes back to the Cubs, and I think the Cubs would be much more interested in Price and Zimmermann. I've seen the Red Sox connected to Cueto a lot.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 04:40 PM) Um, I'm pretty sure that Jon and Max both got top dollar. That quote actually makes me think it's more likely he stays here.

I would be shocked if Sox take him. I think they'll take someone closer to the majors

Kentucky just did this with their best player being a no show

Gordon absolutely threw a curveball. One of the best I have ever seen.

All I know is GT went 1-0 vs Big Ten

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 01:36 AM) Dek growing in college made him so much more money. Dude is huge now. Incredible finisher

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 02:20 AM) ND is the second best team left in this tournament. Only problem is that they (likely) have to beat the best team to get to the F4. Brey finally found the perfect combination of players for his offensive system. Arizona and Gonzaga are pretty fantastic.

Congrats hickory

Wichita St just has no one to defend the rim. Their supporting cast no showed

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) Prior to yesterday's start, everyone seemed to think he needed to be in Charlotte for at least a couple months to work on his command and change-up. I don't see how one start, albeit a terrific one against the Royals A-Team, should change that. He had his slider working and that is why he was successful. He still needs to work on that change-up and overall command. The media got a little too crazy with one great start which was just four innings. I'm thinking that Austin might have called for a lot more sliders than the other catchers have been, which resulted in him being more successful. With that said, he should continue to work on his fastball command and change-up in the spring instead of seeing how many strike outs he can get.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 09:26 PM) Why is the media so invested in having Rodon up right away? Because of the Kris Bryant controversy

Brad Penny is awful. Even when he was doing ok in his starts, he looked to have very little on his pitches. I think I'd rather take a chance with Carroll.

The Americans, in my opinion, has lost its fastball this year. Way too slow, I find myself falling asleep every episode.
