I'm loving the Jackson signing so far. He allows both eaton and Avi to relax some and as long as Jackson is a 1.5 WAR type he helps the team himself. Avi played pretty well in RF today and Eaton in CF. I think Eaton gets worn down more easily than most so having him in RF should save his legs a bit. Avi hopefully continues to build confidence in the starts he does get out there. Today he looked good. Obviously a long season but so far so good. Knock on a wood, in a way striking out on their other targets and "only" getting Jackson late might turn out alright, at least until they can add more in summer.

Was really rooting for a great outing by Latos and got it. 5th inning was my key. Once he got through that easily I knew we'd get some runs and win. If you can get your hands on the Anderson Valley Blood Orange gose, do so, you will not regret it.

.@AdamSpankyEaton is the first Sox player to open season with four straight multihit games since Nellie Fox in 1955. #SoxStats 3:30 PM - 7 Apr 2016

Took the Sox until game 10 to get their 4th win last year. Let's see about 4 out of 5 to start '16!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 07:11 PM) Awesome. Thanks for filing me in. Hopefully his velocity comes around as his arm strengthens up. Sounds like from his post game comments he's still working on strengthening his lower body coming off the knee issues. Makes total sense that his velocity is down in that case. Hopefully his knees are good enough to allow him to get his work in the weight room in. Anything he gives the Sox is a bonus IMO.

I am a massive hip hop head. IMO Chance is one of the most talented "crossover" (mainstream and backpack rap) MCs out there right now. He's Kendrick Lamar circa 2013, just waiting on the one big album that makes him a household name across the country. His flow is tight and as he matures he should be able to take his lyrics into more risque areas. Great signing for the Sox.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 06:53 PM) Gotta love it. 4 games into the season and there's already been 3 White Sox winner threads. Didn't see the game so I'll have to check the highlights later on the Sox site. How did Latos look? All I have to go by for the moment is the box score. He had excellent command and control. Was working ahead and down in the zone mostly. Fastball was sitting at 87-89 but he didn't need a heater today had a very good breaking ball.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 06:47 PM) He's getting high leverage. That was high leverage today. Yes I know, I was confirming the obvious, maybe should have made it more clear.

Lest it be forgotten, why the f*** was Duke pitching to Valencia? Your daily RV brain fart. Could have cost them on another day. And yea, Albers is ready for high leverage.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 06:00 PM) White Sox through 4 games in 2015: Runs scored/runs allowed: 7/27 White Sox through 4 games in 2016: Runs scored/runs allowed: 16/10 Yep. Palate cleansing start.

great start to the year. Anytime you win 3/4 on the road is good, very good. Defense this year is massively improved.

putnam has good stuff, needs to stop walking so many damn guys.

Come, put this damn game away.

god damnit.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 06:34 PM) We haven't gotten the clutch hits yet, but this team seems to be doing a much better job at working counts and getting into teams bullpens. Still, extremely small sample size. Having power helps too as one swing of the bat can make the difference any given day. agree, even when they aren't getting hits they are at least putting together good at bats.

Ok, put in Putnam, lol. Wow. This is a fun team so far.

Eaton is on fire. He must be a double agent because he's playing like he hates Drake Laroche.

Let me say right now I'm against going with Putnam unless they get another one.

But, talent sometimes trumps execution, nice swing!

Huh, poor execution.

well, not on that pitch, jesus, not even close.

might be a good idea to do a suicide squeeze.

Loving this new catching platoon.

Hawk STFU with the KC special. Goodness, we are White Sox fans.

Jackson didn't get a good read.
