Kalapse

Ball didn't even bounce, wasn't a tough play at all.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) And much better defense. Those pitches were strikes for the home team. I didn't realize Frazier was this good defensively, he's been outstanding. He's exactly what this team needed.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 09:05 PM) Sanchez indeed at SS. Really nice call.

White Sox 3B hit 13 HR combined last year, Todd Frazier has 7 as we speak and is on pace for 45.

So did Ryan Pace just use PFF's draft board? Every pick after Floyd was seen by them as a steal, Braverman was #62 on their board and they got him at #230.

Really sounds like Kyle Long is moving to LT at long last.

QUOTE (harkness @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 10:01 PM) It must have been a game that wasn't on CSN. I'd advise you to maybe pay attention to the broadcasts yourself if you think the new guy so vastly out performs Hawk. Twitter should be able to cure your lust for superlatives and instant overreaction, if you're looking for preparation and professionalism check out Jason Benetti.

QUOTE (harkness @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 05:20 PM) I really don't recall any of what you are saying or that story. Maybe try paying attention to the broadcast?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) Wow for real? Of all people? lol Alex Sanchez was a cautionary tale.

There seems to be a bizarre trend here.

QUOTE (harkness @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) I'm just laughing... First off I thought Hawk did his homework way more then Benetti's occasional Sabermetrics. Hawk had a lot to say the first few innings. They game got boring when it was a route... yet somehow this is attributed to Hawk's announcing. Seriously learn some objective reality. I don't even dislike Benetti and sometimes Hawk bothers me. But wow human beings suck at being objective. This is preposterous, do you suppose Hawk has ever even heard of Drew Storen given that he's played almost his entire career in the NL and Hawk has never even watched a National League baseball game? I found it so refreshing when Benetti effortlessly broke down Storen's career path during the Toronto series, the man is incredibly well prepared.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 03:50 PM) He is finally looking at more pitches and working deeper into counts. If that switch is really going on, it could change his career. The tools are there, he just needs to quit swinging at everything. There's no denying that he's looked significantly more comfortable at the plate and is producing much better AB's of late. He's actually looked like he has a clue at the plate during this road trip, he's not guessing on every pitch right now and it's paying dividends.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 04:22 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 49s50 seconds ago Robin Ventura said John Danks will start again on Wednesday. #WhiteSox are off on Monday. Jose Quintana would go Tuesday vs. Boston. *tomato flies past head* This has to be it. I really don't see the harm in giving Eric Johnson a shot, the guy was once seen as a near certain solid back of the rotation starter with some upside. Even if he's fallen out of favor, they really have nothing to lose, they're just spinning their wheels with him at this point.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 10:18 AM) What did he say (or is just Derrick Rose level stupid)? He didn't say a whole hell of a lot, seemed incredibly nervous.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 09:56 AM) You're right. He does look much thinner. Anorexia maybe? This seems like the most likely scenario.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 11:13 PM) He may make another since Gonzalez can't be called up for like 9 days (unless someone else comes up). Putting Danks on the DL nullifies both the Gonzalez and EJ demotions. Though Turner is probably the next man up.

It really sucks but they just need to release him, it's not going to work. Time to move on and attempt to find an alternative, the guy is toast and I feel awful for him.

2 OT's off the board ahead of Tunsil.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:00 PM) The most troubling part is the lack of judgment in using that smoking device. It's terrible and burns your eyes. Positives: Polished, NFL ready left tackle. Negatives: Horribly misguided choice in weed paraphernalia. Summary: Day one starter at crucial offensive position, will be limited to organizations that embrace vaporizers.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) If doing bongs is a deal breaker, the NFL would have to go 7 on 7. I'd take him in a heartbeat, NFL front offices are a different animal.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:34 PM) One of him and Stanley will be there. I don't think both the Giants and Ravens pass on a tackle though and he's going to be the first off the board, I'd think. Not sure if you've seen it but the long talked about video finally leaked just before the draft, on his twitter account. http://deadspin.com/laremy-tunsil-s-accoun...-vid-1773721598

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:26 PM) Oh Laremy Probably going to be there at #11 now.

B>W, thoughts on the Goff going #1?

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:12 PM) Turner walked a bunch last night. Maybe I'm being easy on Danks because the team is 16-6. Let's just say be careful what you wish for. It's really, really hard to be worse than this version of John Danks.
