QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:21 PM) Sox going after scrap players to see if they have any resembles of their former selves are the reason they are in the situation they are in Maybe you need to check his last few seasons even in limited time he's done well and he'd sure help the bench and leave more options open to get other players.

QUOTE (joegraz @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) "cheapest best options" are exactly what has kept us right where we are. Would get a LH power bat and have money for more additions . That's why you go after him.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) Only time sanchez should be on the major league roster is letting him try to see if he can be a everyday player and carry his weight in hitting. Sox can't afford to let that happen with them if they can contend I don't agree . He's a useful glove and switch hitter. If he's the best guy for the job let him contribute with what he does best.

So who gets sent back to the minors 1st Kahnle or Purke ?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) We have discussed all season how poorly the bench has been put together, and the two guys being out tonight exposed that depth. I really hope the Sox go after Morneau when he is healthy. Probably would be the cheapest best option we can find.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) They just are lacking difference makers offensively. Even if you put Melky and Austin in the lineup, there is a huge lack of power. The Sox have 6 homers all year from the outfield and 2 from catchers Not to mention our terribleness against righthanders. Rollins and Sands should be the first ones off the 25. Try Coats keep Sanchez up and on the team.Or that lefty 1st baseman we have in the minors.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:09 PM) Nice to see Shuck batting against a LHP in the 8th inning of a game. Sands has been used/not used in the strangest ways this year But Shuck has reverse splits but then Sand would have to play the OF

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:06 PM) Hahn's gonna have to get a big bat if this team wants to stay in it. Even if they get a mid rotation starter, you're going to need to be able to score a decent amount of runs to win games in this division. That's what I said is still the biggest need even during the BP meltdowns. Those were just regression to the mean. They won;t be great but overall they are a decent pen.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:05 PM) What's wrong with Jennings or Putnam? Those are your fifth and six relievers now...technically. Although calling Duke one of the top four is stretching it, I guess. Maybe just giving them more rest . Who knows Putnam in a closer game maybe to get a DP ball Jennings who knows .

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) Yeah, that homer might have subconsciously changed Tyler's approach to think he can be a power hitter for now, instead of a contact guy who occasionally gets a hold of one. Cabrera out of the game with a bad back. The saber crowd kind of eschew batting average but that's where in comes in handy . 2 pros like Cabrera and Martinez used the count to their advantage to get hits off of Kahnle . They probably get most of their hits in favorable counts. .250 hitters just can't take advantage of counts as good as a .300 hitter can.

QUOTE (Chris Sale @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 06:57 PM) Especially when he just got called up from AAA and Purke was an option. Didn't Caulfield just say something about putting a guy into a position to succeed ? Problem is the Sox never have a big enough lead to do that. So when is a guy like Purke and Kahnle supposed to pitch ? If we burn the good relievers when behind we criticize Robin for that too.

Against Detroit's bullpen the game should never be conceded. But when Saladino hit into the DP that pretty much sealed the Sox fate. I like Saladino better when he tries hitting to RF better instead of trying to pull.

Well Robin probably doesn't want to use his best relievers when behind . Has Purke even pitched yet . Odd though just to concede a game like this. We have the pitching match up advantage for the next 2 games so maybe Robin wants to optimize the chances to win in those games.

Like a f****** cat !

Welcome back winners thread . I missed you so much !

HELL YES !

HOLD THE LEAD ! HOLD THE LEAD !! EVERYBODY !! HOLD THE LEAD HOLD THE LEAD !!!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 31, 2016 -> 06:52 PM) Abreu is slugging like . 250 with runner(s) on base Edit . Runners in scoring position and it's .246 SLG.

Abreu is slugging like . 250 with runner(s) on base

Did Rollins touch 3rd ?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 31, 2016 -> 06:31 PM) Sooner Avi is gone the better. He is team high in OPS with runners on.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 31, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) Saladino will need to jack one for us to win this game. U da man !

Saladino might be the best high fastball hitter on the team. Please be the starting SS. Anything he hits is gravy because his glove is so good. Rollins can get the occasional start against a lefty.
