QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 09:06 PM) Santiago has really good stuff for a guy that nobody outside of White Sox fans ever heard of. Command can be iffy but he should have a long career in the majors as a back of the rotation guy or a reliever. I think his upside is higher than that but we shall see.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 09:08 PM) Q just flat out knows how to pitch. Changes speeds well...good 2 seamer. Changes planes. Really like Q. In today's game thread I said Q might be better than Sale long term . No one wanted to discuss it except to say I was doing drugs

good news = short thread

Against lefties he should be down in the order with Viciedo ahead of him. That's a no brainer and it should be to all running the Sox too. He also should be behind PK no matter who is pitching.

Q is the quey to having a big 3 along with Sale and Peavy. Free free to rap that since it rhymes.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 05:37 PM) There is that 2nd base groundball from Dunn. Right field ground ball.

Dunn will never hit above .205 until he learns to beat the shift which is nearly impossible.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 05:31 PM) We're sure Baustista won't be back tomorrow? He's the one that really scares you in that line-up, although Encarnacion and Rasmus have dinged us up...heck, losing 19 of the last 22 games up there before last night...EVERYONE in their line-up was dangerous against the Sox. 4-2 in our last 6. His name is Rios and he dances on the sand !!!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 05:21 PM) Q last 12 innings 4 hits 0 runs. My bad 11 innings

Continuing a little on Q. 2010 in Rookie and A ball he pitched 38.2 innings. 2011 in A+ 102 innings. 2012 in AA and with the Sox 185 innings .Huge jumps each year.

Q last 12 innings 4 hits 0 runs.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 05:17 PM) To be honest, if he doesn't put up 7-8 quality innings tomorrow, I'm going to be a little worried. He's got to stay away from the long ball. And have his good fastball.

Q !

Hawk so used to Rasmus running them down , he figured he'd get that one too . Way to go Che !

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 04:52 PM) No. I can't. I'll just assume you got hold of some Salvia. It makes me delusional, too. Ha , he made a pretty big jump in a year from A+ ball to the majors. Pitched well till he ran out of gas. Has a very repeatable smooth delivery. Excellent control . More consistent in his starts with his fastball than Sale. He shows you a lot in his good starts like last week and some of the ones from last year. And I did say in the long run because everyone is so concerned about Sale's injury risk. It's easy to see what's right in front of your eyes but looking ahead is the difference.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) I will be nice and pretend I never saw this. Well be nice when discussing it .

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) I will be nice and pretend I never saw this. Don't be nice . I'd discuss it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2013 -> 04:48 PM) Nice play by Dayan to keep that to a single. Probably another thing that doesn't show up in WAR. Don't run on the gun.

Quintana might end up better than Sale in the long run.

Yay P Kay !

Oh man turning loose 3-0 and MB at 93 pitches and the guy on deck 2 for 2 gahhhhh !

What good is Daryl Boston if he can't tell Greene stay on the base ?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 02:34 PM) Something has got to get this pitching staff stretched out past 75 pitches. Side sessions not to ML hitters.

Any reason to leave Sale out there ? He's got nothing.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 11:27 PM) It's simple...I'm not sure how old you are, but if you've followed the White Sox every season since the late 70's/early 80's, you'll know the only time we've started poorly and closed well in a season was 1983. Quintana was very good. I pointed that out...and I'm hoping it sticks, because that's ONE less problem this organization will have to deal with in the future if he can be a legit 4/5 guy at the back end of the rotation. The missed sacrifice attempt, the lack of hitting with RISP, the botched hit and run....every time we have an opportunity to score, we're just not executing. If we had made the playoffs LAST year, nobody would care at all what was going on the first couple of weeks in 2013, because we'd have faith and confidence in the team. Right now, between the team and manager, there's not really very many compelling reasons to have hope, other than Chris Sale's presence on the team. I suppose, given the internal constraints given on spending any more payroll dollars, Hahn has done a very good job (not with Keppinger) but executing the Gillaspie trade or Brent Morel/Angel Sanchez would be playing 3B for us right now. There's THAT, as well. I'm very old and have followed the Sox so long I can remember my fav players as a kid were Joel Horlen and Ken Berry. Every team uniform I ever wore had a 16 on the back because of Berry. I have no idea why teams from the 70's or 80's have any kind of impact on this years team. Sorry. Every year is a new beginning I like the team now. I can't help it. I always like the Sox chances when it's reasonable to do so. Now if we're coming off a 70 win season and nothing much changed yea I''m not going to be as optimistic. I love the pitching and the hitting is good enough to contend. Things just have to break the right way. Weather that happens is anyone's guess but a few losses now, or last year, or in previous years is not going to affect my hope for this season.
