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

QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 06:04 PM) Ask and you shall receive. Better late than never right? Now how bout a double play? I don't see anything. I got it just don't know how to embed it in my post.

Quintanelli serving up a spicy meatball !

Wish I could figure out how to get that Tyler Flowers and the Sorcerer's Spec's poster on here .

TFLO !! that'll teach em to throw at LaRoche's head !

Takes the voodoo curse off of Q so he gets a win instead of ND.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 05:18 PM) Well the first day of the 2015 HR contest went well. There were 21 participants and 3 pulled ahead on the first day of action with their selection of Jose Abreu. I have attached the leaderboard to this post. Remember you can play at anytime, you don't have to pick everyday and you can start picking at any point during the season. Lets keep the picks coming. GO SOX!!!! Sorry confused. Why 2 points for picking Abreu ? He was only worth 1.

What not to do on opening day : Starting pitching .. bad Relief pitching...bad Defense ...bad Base running ..bad Offense ...bad Managing ... After Abreu walk in 9th why not pinch run for him ??? Getting blown out why risk him on the bases???

Eaton 8 Cabrera 3 Abreu 1 LaRoche 1 Avi 3 Ramirez 3 Gillespie 5 Flowers 5 Johnson 8 calisoxfanviaswside

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 08:28 AM) Carlos Rodon will have a job by June 1 on this team. It is only a matter of whose job it will be. It isn't hard to squint and see John Danks buried in the bullpen as a long man. Yep, sooner or later the Sox will have to eat some of that contract . I am holding out hope that Danks is playing a bit of possum this spring just fine tuning his mediocrity and not his generosity to other teams.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 07:18 AM) 25.5 M between Ricky Nolasco and Ervin Santana. 10.5 M on Toriiiiiiiiii. Be sure to thank God for Sale, Quintana, and Abreu's contracts every night before bed. And Eaton for that matter if he plays like last year and can stay injury free. But we can say the same about the other names you mentioned also.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 08:04 AM) I saw your response in the other thread, and I just disagree. I'm not gonna get in an argument with you over it. Simply put Caulfield is an intelligent poster and when he stays on topic he is good conversation. When he thinks of 50 different names just to fluff up a post it is annoying and distracts from the post and generates a TL;DR response from me, and I know I am not the only one. That's all I'm gonna say about it Fine then I will have the last say on it. We are all here glorifying athletes as fans . We speak about them all the time. We pay to watch them perform . My god the things people get annoyed about. Chill out. It's only distracting if you let it be. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) All this name dropping bs isn't cute or funny, and adds little to the discussion How is saying the names of others who might be available to replace a guy we think needs replacing adding little to the discussion ? If he had said others are available someone else might ask, like who ? If Caul thinks saying Adam Dunn is funny question his sense of humor ( which you did) but it isn't name dropping .
