I don't mind caught stealings unless its against a catcher with a gun . Micah needs to learn pitchers pick off moves. He's got a long way to go to really utilize his speed. Eaton makes a lot more baserunning mistakes than most would think he does. That trying to stretch a double into a triple with 2 outs is just wrong on so many levels. Never make the 3rd out at 3rd base is a base running rule because you're already in scoring position and probably will score on any hit because you get the huge jump with 2 outs. You have to trust your team mates behind you to get the job done. It's just Eaton trying to pad his triples stats and it's extremely stupid and selfish. You keep the inning alive and who knows maybe Cabrera hits a HR or gets a walk or hit and Abreu hits one out. It isn't unheard of for teams to have 2 out rallies.

Let's not forget the Abreu solo bomb !

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:02 AM) I'm not cut out to be a casino mogul :'( 7.5 HR's ? Should be in green. You can't be serious . Most pitchers would be pulled by the 3rd or 4th one.

Jennings, Duke, Robertson 8 of last 9 outs via K !

Very impressive stuff by the relief corp !

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 06:39 PM) I'm fine with Eaton being aggressive there, you're already up 3. Anybody liking this Jennings trade as much as me? Nice to have two solid lefty options in the pen. You think 3 is a lot ? It's nothing. Rather be up by 4 or more keep the inning alive.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 06:37 PM) wow can the Sox find a scrap heap pen guy that's actually decent???????????????? Scrap heap ? Didn't he have decent numbers with the Marlins? Just backwards was better at getting opposite handed guys out. Got him for Rienzo right ?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 06:33 PM) Not a fan, as with his speed a single scores him from 2nd Yea its not like a 3 run lead is huge. Take the double score on a hit. It's just fundamentally wrong.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 06:29 PM) i've seen too many 3-1 popups today. No kidding . Either take the pitch or look to pull it. Neither Conor or Bonifacio looked to pull.

No reason at all to go for 3 there. Play the game right ! Never 3rd out at 3rd base . Selfish play by Eaton.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 06:12 PM) If you haven't noticed, we are actually winning lol I went to it during Clevelands AB's knowing Q is golden.

NBA hardwood classics has playoffs between. Jordan /Pippen Bulls against Shaq/Penny Hardaway Orlando on now NBA channel.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 05:39 PM) holy s*** he got hit in the face? Damn. Sorry to hear that. Yea looks like he got the tip of his glove on it and defelected it slightly to by his left cheek.

Hagadone sounds like something from Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.

Way to pick em up Tyler.

Looks like McAllister's lost his release point.

At least Q is missing down and not up and over the middle of the plate.

Those Raburn RBI numbers against the Sox are crazy . 51 more against the Sox than against any other opponent.

Other teams make boneheaded plays too.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 04:36 PM) I think it's fine with 2 outs and already scoring 2 runs in the 1st inning. Try to get someone in scoring position for Alexei. Yep.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 02:53 PM) I wonder if the White Sox channel is mapped to 729 on Directv EI. There are 2 channels, 729 and 730. 730 says Indians Broadcast, but 729 doesn't have any indication. DirecTV never does the WCIU games so kind of odd they would list list the Channel 50 airing. DTV probably thinks it's supposed to be on Comcast Chicago. NVM now its working.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 12, 2015 -> 12:37 PM) Let me make it real simple. A pitcher throws a ball on a downward plane. The bat comes in to make contact at a similar ratio. So if you throw a ball chest high, how hard is it to get the correct plane to make solid contact with said pitch. There are some guys who can absolutely murder a high pitch. Most guys just get under it and pop the ball up. You want you fast guys hitting line drives or keeping the ball on the ground. You dont want them wasting their speed by putting the ball into the air a lot. Which will happen at a higher ratio when you attempt to hit high pitches. Also because of that speed you rather have him swinging at strikes, take that high pitch for a ball and get on base.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 07:31 PM) Hold you too it. There you go.

The odd thing is we keep coming inside to their LH hitters when the ump is giving a lot of room on the outer half. See Adam LaRoche's K's.

Both teams are scoring every other inning . This is a no run inning for the Royals
