Just got home, looks like Sale's been decent? Of course, only fitting Keppinger is swinging a pink bat.

Davey Johnson pulled Gio today after 7 innings and 86 pitches of 2 hit baseball. Storen quickly came in and gave up the lead. Needless to say, the Nationals fans are not happy with Johnson's managing this season.

I just hope Deng doesn't have any underlying illness. Some scary stuff with him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 12, 2013 -> 02:22 PM) It didn't stop us from drafting Beck. Beck didn't have injury concerns though, IIRC.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ May 12, 2013 -> 03:59 PM) Definitely seems like a solid pick, when will we hear who their scouts have been viewing? Judge seems like a huge ceiling, low floor type. After taking someone similar in Hawkins, I'd rather the Sox not take him.

I read in an old BA that one of the top scouts of the Sox has a close connection to Aaron Judge.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 12, 2013 -> 05:04 AM) If we had signed AJ, we would still be an under .500 team and would have wasted 2014 testing Flowers. If he is this bad, it's good to know while the team appears to suck. +10000000000000000000000

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 12, 2013 -> 05:02 AM) Where are these elite catchers that were available? Flowers was a good prospect. You guys act like everything happens in a vacuum. I can't wait until we get rid of some contracts and want to spend some money and free agents just don't want to play here. What will you guys cry about then? Heads up, free agents have never wanted to play for the second team in the second city. Free agents would pay in Montreal if it meant paying them more money than other teams. Adam Dunn initially wanted to play for the Cubs when he became a free agent, but after they weren't interested, he had no problem in acting like the White Sox was the team he wanted to play for all along.

QUOTE (coco1997 @ May 12, 2013 -> 03:17 AM) Realistically, how much would it take to get Matt Adams from St. Louis? I'd be offering them Alexei, as they have a weakness at SS on that loaded roster.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2013 -> 02:37 AM) It's not rocket science. Sorry, Jeff Luhnow, who actually hired one (we can see how well that's going so far). Many people think Luhnow is doing a fantastic job, especially with how he handled last year's draft.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2013 -> 02:19 AM) Agreed. If nothing else, it annoys Marty. Of course, then he'll try to turn it around and say he's a better candidate to trade, lol. Can I mediate a truce between you two?

I will say these games are significantly more interesting with Viciedo back in the lineup. Nice having someone to root for that you feel is actually going to be with this organization for the next few years.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2013 -> 03:15 AM) Or fast pitch softball leagues. He isn't catching up to the softball pitch unless it's a southpaw on the mound

It will be comical if Ventura plays Dunn against a LHP tomorrow.

Something odd about a team on its way to 10 games under where the announcer is scoreboard watching during the 9th inning.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 12, 2013 -> 02:10 AM) I'm very confident saying Flowers won't be with the White Sox organization in spring training, 2014. He's going to make a fine catcher in the Independent League in 2015.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 12, 2013 -> 02:09 AM) Hawk, who gives a s*** if Gillaspie is available? FRIERI OWNS LEFTIES. How is everyone ignoring this? We've had 3 lefties face Frieri, all of them struck out. People just accept that this team sucks and Ventura has one foot out the door.

I can't believe a lineup against RHP with Keppinger, Flowers and Greene batting in order can't produce.

Flowers showing his awful eye at the plate in this AB. The defense cost us another game.

Don't worry Kepp, that's gone in Williamsport.

This is a situation which begs for the hit-and-run

Goodness Viciedo looks incredible

We have our power hitter coming up after Tank, IT'S ALL GOOD

3 pitches, not even close.

Get ready for the loudest boos of the season
