QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 09:21 PM) Damn. Our defense is looking lousy again? Still debating whether or not to get mlb.com. I don't think I could stand watching a season where we are owned by those Central Division teams again. If we can hold our own with those Central bums I might buy. Greg if you can afford it no problem get it. There's Abreu, Eaton, Eric Johnson, Avisail Garcia, maybe even Semien and Davidson to watch develop. How could you not want to see Sale pitch ? Spring training is no place to judge defense. The ground is hard and the skies are high in Az. Semien is playing great and since Gordon is sort of injured Semien just might make opening day. Chances are less for Davidson because the Sox might not want to start his arbitration clock just yet and Gillaspie just might develop into a tradeable asset. But Davidson has also had a very nice spring after a slow start. Besides you're a Sox fan. Forget the bad stuff , forget about wins and losses during a rebuild. Look for and revel in the promise of youth and the exuberance of youth when they have walk off wins and come from behind wins. There will always be b****ing and whining about stuff . Look for the silver linings and you will be fine.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Mar 21, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) Thread should be changed to "Hector Gimenez is your 2014 starting catcher" Leg cramp. nothing serious.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 21, 2014 -> 02:55 PM) Flowers left the game mid-AB...assuming he tweaked something Downs continues to get rocked. It doesn't look like he's had much all spring. Leg cramp.

Flowers hurt on swing. Hawk speculates its an oblique. Catching situation just went from bad to worse.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Mar 17, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) Some dude I've never heard of, Josh Richmond, homers for the Sox Who is that ? PH for Viciedo and cranks one out. Very odd not to have heard of him. OK found him http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1652201...s-josh-richmond

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 17, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) Also with 2 RBIs. Both doubles off Kyle Lohse. 2 walks a HBP and Davidson's doubles equal 3 runs 1 hit . I like it .

Tx. with 5 in bottom of 6th, Sox with 5 in top of 7th. All tied at 8.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 14, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) I agree with the Gillaspie/Davidson part. But I think Phegley starts in AAA and they give his spot to Nieto until either Nieto proves worthless, or Phegley improves his game in Charlotte. It would surprise me a lot if Nieto made the team. He'd have to be on the roster all year. That ain't gonna happen.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) I know, I was joking... kind of... Would much rather see him starting then Beckham Most people see Eaton as the Sox leadoff hitter for years but I see Micah Johnson with Eaton batting 2nd. Now that will be a great top 2.

Bellasario 1st appearance.

Brought in a lefty to face Johnson and De Aza and Micah works count to 3-2 then slashes a looping liner into left towards the line. Danks scores.

Angels put big shift on for JorDanks he squibs one down the 3rd base line followed by a rocket from Davidson. S0 1st and 2nd no outs. Phegley lines out . No one caught off base.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 12, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) Alexei Ramirez is one of the most underappreciated White Sox players in a long time. He's a been an asset for us for six years already and a feather in the cap of Rick Hahn. He hasn't been able to get all facets of his game working at once, but he has always made himself a productive player. Doesn't hurt that he's been clutch and a firey player throughout. I'll be rooting for him after his time here is done. I like stringbeans too.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Mar 11, 2014 -> 08:21 PM) OK, I'm going to ask the obvious question of; wtf is the point? Not to lose to the Indians.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Mar 11, 2014 -> 03:45 PM) My man It's 50/50 after +11,00 votes. Get on your twitters and facebooks and spread the word for the Sox.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 01:06 PM) I really don't think the Nats would fall for that sort of game. The whole world realizes the chances of this guy, or any other A-ball catcher, of making the majors, are incredibly slim. Sox just need to decide if they see Nieto as a potential future starter, and if they do, offer a prospect of similar value (someone in like the 20-25 range in our system, give or take) at a different position, and the Nats would likely take it. Maybe a couple of those 1000 pitchers we have will do the trick.

The kids all looked good today. Leury G. bunt sungle and sac. bunt to put men on 2nd and 3rd . Wilkins 1 for 1, 2 rbi , Trayce Thompson 1 for 1 infield single, Mitchell 1 for 1, scored the winning run on a Keppinger GO. I think Keppinger grounded out all 5 times he batted, last one was the FC that scored Mitchell. Danks 1 for 3 , 2 run HR. Gillaspie 1 for 3 , double, Flowers 1 for 3 ,double. De Aza 2 for 3. Dunn ,Keppinger ,Alexei combined 0 for 12. Seems like the Sox relievers who pitched today have been in as many games as Abreu. Some highlights for anyone who missed it. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/gameda...ox&c_id=cws

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 9, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) Erik Johnson is going to make a lot of money. His brother Micah has been very impressive also so far.

2 out rally vs Putz to tie it at 4. Gillaspie and Abreu open with outs. Avi Garcia triples to RCF Konerko walks. Alexei singles on a 1-2 count up the middle bringing home Garcia. Leury Garcia pinchruns for Alexei leaving PK to fend for himself at 2nd. So when Jordan Danks dumps a single to left PK chugs home. Throw beat him but catcher couldnt hold the ball. Leury Garcia then thrown out trying to steal 3rd for the 3rd out.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 8, 2014 -> 09:19 AM) Is mlb broadcasting these games for free or is it just for their gameday or whatever it is users? free webcast like the Sox have been doing the last few years.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 8, 2014 -> 06:45 AM) Ervin Santana signs 1Y, $14MM deal with unidentified AL club. Orioles and Royals say it's not them. 1 in 13 chance it's us. 1 in 100 .

If the spring is any indication so far , the Sox will be using their speed to steal bases. He is letting the kids run wild. Of course not many of the kids will make the team.

http://m.mlb.com/video/v31385513/sanchez-c...uery=Jose+Abreu Many of you may not have seen this interview with Abreu from 2/25 . It's in Spanish but has English subtitles and is over 11 minutes long.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 6, 2014 -> 05:37 AM) Is the 30 for 30 available online or on demand? http://m.mlb.com/video/v31442799/bosstl-do...eld-call-stands Scroll down from there . There will be 4 video's dated 03/06/2014 from 30/30 , Prediction, Ventura/Beckham talking about Abreu, Konerko with Plesac and Eaton on drag bunting. There was another part about Sox lineup questions but I can't find that part since 30/30 is broken up into sections during the MLB Tonight broadcast.

Today its the White Sox turn on 30 Clubs in 30 Days on MLB network. Also Dunn will be on Intentional Talk on the same network today.
