Nothing like playing a strict platoon guy against a tough RHP

Is Viciedo ever going to learn how to hit righties

Interesting lineup....could easily be the everyday lineup come August with Beckham in for Greene

Trouble with the Curve is a bad movie

Ivy can't contain that bomb by Goldschmidt!

I hate that f***ing ivy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 2, 2013 -> 02:39 AM) Shouldn't you be telling us how he's just as talented as Sale? I never said that, and I don't think he is. I would take him over Peavy. That said, give me the Cubs offense over this Sox offense. Their offense is putting up huge numbers right now.

It took Arizona 2 pitches to get more runs off of Samardzija tonight after shutting out the Sox.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 2, 2013 -> 01:04 AM) He played last night didnt he? Yes, but it seems like tonight isn't just a normal night off due to him just missing a game.

I wonder if Phegley is on the way up, as he's not playing tonight (he didn't play 2 nights ago either)?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 11:57 PM) He doesn't need to be stretched out. He has shown he can throw triple figure pitches pretty quickly. He needs the experience of being a starter though and working on his offspeed pitches. His offspeed pitches are pretty awful, so there's a lot of room for improvement.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 11:57 PM) More nibbling cost us another one 24 base runners allowed isn't just due to nibbling.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 11:57 PM) Well Hector got his high leverage situation... Yep, thankfully we have him in the pen to salvage this season

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 11:56 PM) Good job Hector. 5th straight loss. The team sucks, at least they're showing their true colors now than after the deadline.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 11:56 PM) Throw a strike. Send him to AAA and stretch him out for when Peavy is traded.

Fitting

Nice play, horrible pitch call

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 06:55 PM) After hearing my second Jim Callis interview today on 670 The Score, I'm very confident Chicago will take Alex Gonzalez from Oral Roberts at 17. Seems like a bit of a reach to me. You mean the Rongey interview where they talked at length but only focused on who the Sox might take for like 2 minutes? With that said, most experts have Gonzalez in the 15-20 range.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 07:48 PM) I still think DJ Peterson is our best possible scenario if he falls. He has the most advanced bat in the draft aside from Colin Moran. Plays 3B/1B and could be an impact bat in the middle of the order. While its probably too early to tell, I wouldn't be surprised if he made to the bigs by 2016. BA makes it sound like there's no chance the Pirates don't take him with one of their picks.

Dunn just missed that, of course

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 11:39 PM) Are innings are very quick Ramirez and Rios look dead tired out there. Ventura needs to get them a day off sometime soon.

Where's Jordan Danks?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 11:34 PM) Chris Sale +1

Nicely done Hector!

Can't believe you walk Crisp there given Santiago's command issues.
