I mean, the reality is the "action" of pitcher throwing to catcher is also a part of what critics say with "nothing is happening.

That was a pretty loaded draft, wow.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 23, 2016 -> 05:23 PM) Just got home - what's the deal with Kahnle being the 26th man? Are we calling up EJ after the game and sending down Sanchez? What another poster said was they'll probably send down a player after the first game and call up EJ for the second.

Good job there ajax.

Great job Mat.

yuck, what did he just swing at.

Seems to be struggling to command his fastball, good news.

Out of curiosity is this pitcher very slow to the plate? Or is it just gameday

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 23, 2016 -> 04:55 PM) I like this 3-4-5. Call me crazy I guess. Hard to not love any combination with Melky in it right now.

Gameday is very slow today.

Robin, please don't bunt him over.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 23, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) Latos getting hit pretty hard. Idk if it's just me but seems like he's leaving a lot of good pitches out there. How did he pitch so well early in the season? When he was pitching well he was also getting hit hard.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 23, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) I know he will but why can't he start both games of the DH? Why do we have to give Sanchez a start in one of these games? Because Sanchez is a player on the team, who is very good defensively, and who was our starting 2b last year. You act like they are playing the bat boy. But I get it, he struck out recently, therefore, DFA him.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 23, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) Maybe it's just a bit of optimism coming off of a win but I get the feeling this team is going to get it going. QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 23, 2016 -> 04:38 PM) Sanchez blows.

I also can't watch these games except perhaps the end of game 2. so WINEM

I want to win em all. WIN EM BOTH.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 23, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) Very interesting. GRRM has specifically said is NOT Coldhands so it might be more likely he just appears as is. Probably isn't in the books, but the show has had to consolidate a few storylines already. Probably easier for them to use an existing character to wrap into that storyline than introduce a whole new one.

I get what lillian is saying, but I'd hate us to pass up impact talent just because we previously did not have success developing it. These guys ahve been at it for a few years. I think you can also just get better at your job through experience.

Ha, that's amazing.

Here's to hoping the soxtalk karma Gods look favorably upon this game thread.

I think Coldhands is definitely about to make an appearance, something to help Bran get south. Could be a new or combined character (Benjen Stark).

Getting nervous, inthedriverseat

I got my groomsmen a personalized glass with their faces painted on it cause I was the first person married and didn't know what the hell was going on. Was cheap though. Then my best men got me nice shoes to wear at their wedding and a nice tie. I wear those all the time and they are great. They spent way more though.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 23, 2016 -> 10:38 AM) The question is who should solve the housing issues, government or private business? Currently the restrictions on building are a government issue, a local government issue. Federally they have limited power to put pressure on cities, but states can have more sway. There are plenty of builders willing to build right now, when we have ample housing and still see high cost entry issues, then you can move on to step two of solving that. BUt adding rent control when there is a capacity issue doesn't solve much.

It's hard to dig my feet in too much having not seen much of him at all, but a raw player able to overcome lack of reps with super athleticism and bat speed seems promising and exciting. I'd prefer he have a great K/BB ratio, but he was a second half of the first round pick, you take more raw skills there.
