  1. Classic took his eye off the ball. Might have hit the lip of the seam of the grass and dirt and flattened out a bit like Stone said . Looks like it did when I checked.
  2. In the Sox 29 games the Sox have scored 4 runs once 5 runs once and have not yet scored 6 or 7 runs. I'll be an optimist and call for lucky # 7.
  3. Jon Garland on the pre-game show will wear a Ed Farmer jersey to throw out the 1st pitch.
  4. Double, 2 singles, RBI,SB,CS. Busy Day.
  5. White Sox hoping to finish the month of April on a high note. Shane Smith on the bump against his old organization.
  6. Yeah probably was the Nationals not the Cards with the 5 something ERA after the Phillies 6 something.
  7. Phillie fans might have an argument with you with how their BP has been pitching. Maybe St .Louis too if I'm remembering the 6. And 5. something ERAs of those bullpens.
  8. Never a big fan of loading the bases when u have 2 outs. I know it wasn't a great matchup for Eisert but go after the hitter instead rather than taking away his ability to pitch inside.
  9. Let's build some mo off that gun down by Quero ! LFG !
  10. GameDay said he took 4 balls. Next thing I know it's strike 3. I got the game on TV .TV is a batter behind game day so I wasn't paying attention to the actual pitches on my screen.
  11. I have make sure I tune in for the 1st inning magic .
  12. Give him a chance. I don't think he a 30-40 base stealer. Improvements he could make is probably chase rate.Im good with how he's been doing. He getting used to the big leagues.He's doing fine.
  13. But not an original White Sox and he hasn't exactly endeared himself to fans either.
  14. This isn't 4 years ago when he was the big shiny prospect. All they have to do is look at attendance to see there aren't any fan favorites except the young guys who come up and do well. Quero jersey sales will shortly be the most popular. So no I don't believe you. He's just the most recognizable name next to Robert and it's very likely both will be gone next in less than 8 months.
  15. You can't get into a ball park with a pitchfork ! Try a plastic spork !!
  16. He's been getting some player wins with the young guys. Wouldn't hurt to try for 1 more. It isn't a loss if Vaughn is sent down. You can call him back up if Elko flops and he shows he can hit again which shouldn't be that hard for him in Charlotte. Maybe that WTP becomes HRP down there .
  17. You do know that small sample defensive stats stats for super utility guys are almost always bad because you need a large sample size of plays to get a true read on a player. Even when Vaughn was playing LF in the midst of all the Vaughn fawning, people where saying ooh he's not doing so bad out there. He's like an average LFer. I was like you people gotta be kidding me. There is no way he will ever be a full time OF who is average defensively. The more he plays the more he will be exposed. Point is you need bigger sample sizes to get an accurate defensive picture and even then his value is in his utility ability to play the positions passably with his offensive switch hitting ability . Everybody has flaws . Let's not blow them up. We're trying to avoid the players with lots of flaws and little upside.
  18. I think Sosa's actually been fine at 2nd base. He's made a lot of diving plays, gets up quick, makes a strong throw, turns the DP well. I just think it's funny when Harold yells if he does make an error like don't ever play him at 2nd ever again. People need to let go of their biases.Btw Kelenic passed through waivers again and back in the Braves system.😋
  19. I knew I forgot someone. Quero !!
  20. Make a point then don't make up stuff and say Sox are on a list when they aren't when you give a link to that list. And saying the Sox could've had 15 of the 25 on the list is a big fat nothing, when all other teams theoretically could've had them too.
  21. Possibly. Maybe he's still clinging to hope for trading Dalbec, Rojas, Vaughn , Robert, Tauchman, Drury, Karinchak and whatever other relievers perform decently. There's just a bit too much veteran deference right now. It's great Baldwin and Meidroth, Sosa, Smith and recently Vargas seem to found some sturdier footing but there's more that needs to be done if they want to get some more fannies in the stands once the weather warms up. Right now the line they're walking looking for turds to turn into silver is a little too fine for my liking. Elko isn't that much younger than Vaughn and unless he wants the Sox to continue losing at another record setting pace he's got to take a chance on getting some more hitting into the lineup . Send Vaughn down.
  22. Tatis isn't on the list . Tatis Jr isn't on that list and I have no idea who Aranda is but he isn't on that list either, so there are, as I said, no ex Sox property on that list. The rest is just garbage conjecture that can apply to any team in baseball for those players,unless it was a 1st rd pick where the Sox especially had an earlier pick which would also apply to numerous teams depending on the player and where they were drafted. Do the words draft and crapshoot and hardest sport to assess talent mean anything to you ? I'm not absolving the White Sox or Getz or Hahn or KW of having bad scouts or development people through the years of Reinsdorf's reign but wow just wow. That is some, umm, abstract thinking or just plain Yellow Journalism.
