QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 08:48 PM) Wow, I thought Grichuk was better than that....dude is like 2-25 this year. He’s missing the cardinals fairy dust that turns below average players into slightly above average ones. Also NL

This game has been soooo much fun.

Damn Matt’s lucky that didn’t go up to his face

That was AWESOME

Looked like ball hit behind glove. I think it’s a single

Ah ok that was a little more understandable.

Are you kidding me Castillo!?

That’s crazy I didn’t know that about Sanchez.

I blame ump for this. If he doesn’t escalate it nobody would have known.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 07:20 PM) Bennetti has a very interesting habit of saying that a pitch for ball 4 is close when it is not. That was very close.

Yolmer starting year on fire.

This is a really exciting outing by Carson. I don’t remember last game I saw of his where his breaking stuff played for strikes. Like Giolito, even when he was getting by last year it was mostly off of fastball/changeup.

Filthy curve.

Is Carson’s 89mph pitch his cutter?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 07:04 PM) fulmer is looking good, maybe he has improved. the kopech interview bombed eh? He was just cutting in and out.

Cut your losses on this interview sheesh

Fulmer looks really good so far. Also like the call by Castillo to just serve Donaldson all breaking stuff.

Didn't it take hawk 4 years to get a home run call? Benetti has been doing 2 half seasons, give him time.

I'm mainly surprised that Destino is not in Kanny. It's nice that Villa finally gets a shot out of GF but disappointed one of Reyes/Zangari still are where they are.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 10:14 AM) Not at all, just the opposite to be honest. Looking forward to seeing what holes they fill first and then see the fallout from the post draft free agency bonanza that always happens with June cuts I am excited about the draft, just not thrilled with this draft specifically.

I would be surprised if we went College OFer, I wouldn't necessarily upset if they are clearly awesome.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 12:34 PM) There must be a rulebook on announcing. You aren't allowed to have much silence. Any broadcasters out there or experts on the field? Cmon, you have to talk, talk talk. How can anybody not love the story last night Stone told about his bonus for winning the Cy Young? That is GOOD announcing in a 14-5 game. You got to talk, folks, if u are a paid announcer. Hell yeah I agree with Greg.

I don't mind benetti but I also don't mind most broadcasters. But I do think the specific criticisms people try to make for why they don't like him are kinda ridiculous. Just say he rubs you the wrong way. Doesn't excite you. I get it. But if you read a game thread, there is literally zero people that could satisfy every nitpicky thing people cry about Benetti. The Q&A thing. I mean give me a break. That is how people talk and converse. The only specific complaint that has resonated is the complaint that Farmer never says the score which is 100% accurate but also I am one of four people that still likes Farmer & DJ. Though I will say Farmer sounds 100 years older this year. I don't think he's back again for another year.

Did they get bad press? If this site didn't exist I'm not sure I would have known how pissed others were. Driving the stupid trucks onto the field and doing opening ceremonies and then delaying the game when it could be played for 2 hours and then canceling when freezing rain downpoured on everyone was without a doubt the worst white sox experience I've ever had.
