Heck of a catch by Sierra

QUOTE (flavum @ May 17, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) Release Noesi. Move Carroll to the pen. Get Sale and Johnson back. I think it's more likely Noesi goes to the bullpen. I have no problem if they sacrifice Noesi for one more start vs the Yankees, and then recall Johnson.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2014 -> 09:35 PM) Fangraphs says he throws a fastball at 92, a slider at 87, a change at 86, and a curve at 79. Maybe that's some kind of slider? There's just no break on it whatsoever today. I would guess it's his change-up that he's overthrowing

Noesi has gone 1.1 innings and allowed 11 runs when pitching in the state of Texas with the White Sox playing in the game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) Is that pitch he's throwing at 88 like supposed to be a 2 seamer? I noticed that also, as he was throwing that high and outside to Fowler. I hope it's not supposed to be his change-up, which had been his best pitch with the Sox.

Noesi gets the Yanks next, I believe. I wouldn't be shocked if that's it for him as a starter.

You can tell Paciorek thinks he's horrible.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 17, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) I am not so sure. Sale could replace Carroll. Edit: on second thought... Johnson will replace Noesi

Someone didn't come out prepared today. Poor Webb's going to have to pitch like 5 innings.

This is a showcase game for Noesi for the next team to possibly claim him!

Pathetic start for Noesi. 91/92 mph right down the plate isn't going to get it done. Chris Sale, please return

Looks to be running even worse today on that ankle. He's just getting abused by offspeed pitches right now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 17, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) Detroit has already put the Sox away. We aren't making up 10 games in the loss column on Detroit. So the only hope is hanging around the wildcard situation. Why do you continue to act so surprised by this? The Tigers have 3 superstars still near their peak years, while the White Sox are in rebuilding mode

Luke Weaver in the 2nd round seems like it would be a pretty good pick.

He's back!! Nice flare

Hawk saying that Tulo isn't good on the road. I think his .894 OPS on the road is pretty good

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 17, 2014 -> 03:07 AM) Thanks Dunn...and Abreu, for the love of christ, learn that low and away pitch... It really looks like Abreu's ankle is causing him to spin off the ball more than usual.

DUNN! That was great timing

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 17, 2014 -> 03:03 AM) Smoke one Abreu. Thanks for the HBP, as he wasn't close to hitting the ball.

2-2 with a double for Hawkins in 2nd game tonight

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2014 -> 01:55 AM) I can't believe we are losing to the Astros right now.. Moving on up the draft standings

QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 17, 2014 -> 01:53 AM) Couldn't agree more, gives up a lot of 2 strike hits too. Right not he's thrown 54 strikes and 44 balls! Yikes So far, Quintana hasn't show much in terms of growth from last season. His numbers aren't awful, but it seems like the Sox were hoping for some improvement.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2014 -> 01:50 AM) Quintana nibbles too much.. He needs to just attack hitters.. Too many pitches in 5 innings Where did his change-up go? Seems to be throwing a ton of fastballs tonight, as well as sliders way off the plate.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 17, 2014 -> 01:50 AM) Then we get to watch Avi butcher the defense out there, that is if he can keep from hurting himself. They just need to throw Avi in LF so his bad reads cost you a double and not a triple.

Quintana with a bad time the 3rd time through the order, 2 out runs and bad outfield defense.....seen this a lot this season.
