QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 07:39 PM) .286/.375/.429 as a RH this year entering today. Small sample size? Of course. Bigger sample size than yours? Yes. that's gotta be against RHP. .231 BA and a wRC+ of 78 against LHP so far in his career. It's a weakness.

Happ's got his good fastball so far. Need to just keep making him work. Some good ABs so far, keep it up.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 07:36 PM) Damn, Moncada K's a lot A lot of ABs from the right side early. Trial by fire.

Come on Yoan. Was too eager there to try and elevate the ball and got put in a bad spot.

I'm starting to believe in Delmonico. Wow. Ripped that ball. Against LHP too.

Dad gumit. Tired of Tyler.

Just swing away, come on.

Walking Engel there is a cardinal sin. Make them pay.

wouldn't be an awful time to hit and run.

Great plate coverage by Anderson.

Christ Happ is nailing the corners.

that's why you bat avi 2nd.

christ right on the black four in a row to moncada.

This new RBI baseball game looks awful.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 05:58 PM) I like Ricky R. I don't want him fired, even when we get good. However ... Avi batting second is ridiculous. It makes no sense. I'd prefer Sally or Anderson second even if Anderson doesn't walk ever. Do u all agree this is beyond absurd to have Avi hit second? Move him down where he belongs before he turns back into the old lousy version of Avi. It actually makes perfect sense. Get him more PAs. Let him hit in front of Jose.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 05:56 PM) I’m obviously the minority here but that article wasn’t insightful one bit unless you’re a casual fan who’s been living under a rock since 2016. It was written for a non-Sox audience but I do agree it was mostly "old news" for Sox fans.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 01:26 PM) The line crossed is when you go from your own celebration, to actually going after the other team. Not only did he mimic the celebration, but he made sure he directed it into the White Sox dugout. That is petty AF. I mean the line is crossed when your 60 year old bench coach is using a whistle as the guy comes to bat...the Sox instigated this here and from all parties involved it seems no harm no foul.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 01:22 PM) Donaldson is just petty as hell. Act like you have been there before, and not hitting a meaningless wall scraper in the third game of the season. Eh, the inning before that TA and Moncada made a great turn and pimped it hard on the way off, with ReyLo giving TA a huge high five. I like the emotion on both sides and don't really have too much of a problem with it -- if any -- given what we learned about Boston's whistle and what Donaldson was responding to. Donaldson is a jerk but in this case I don't mind it.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 01:01 PM) I thought I heard a whistle a few times during the game and thought the same thing. Boston seems like a good guy to keep around for morale but WTF, that is some bush league s***. I'd be annoyed as well.

I guess the Sox were laughing about it according to Fegan's postgamer. Watching live I thought it was a pretty redass move from Donaldson considering it was a 340 ft flyball hit into the right spot. I had no idea Boston was whistling for nice defense. I'd be a bit annoyed as well.

Guys had some really poor swings yesterday. Especially Avi and Davidson. Let's hope for a little better today. I didn't quite know what a bandbox Rogers Centre is, might be a high scoring game tonight.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 02:01 PM) That has really started to change. A good chunk of our starting line up is guys who we both drafted and developed. Yolmer Sanchez would be a huge success story for the Sox if he can keep it up.
