QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) Dreaded "hangover" game effect. 4 blown saves last week and Frazier out of the line-up, offense might be hard to come up with even against Keuchel. Looking at that line-up, it feels like the 2012-14 all over again. And the defense just hasn't been as sharp, even though some of these plays aren't turning into errors (see Sands in LF a week ago)...Jackson, Eaton, etc. Not playing terribly, have been in every game, but playing just poorly enough compared to the season's earlier standards to lose these games. other than the 10 over part in May.

Carlos looking better today.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:00 AM) I'm blacked out. SON OF A b****. Blackouts are horrible. PM me there's some ways around them.

What a s*** lineup, especially against LHP. Come on Sox, do what you should do again today and stomp this bad Yankees team.

Plezac was f***ing awesome last light! Wow. What a great blend of saber analysis with insight from his playing days.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 13, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) And as close as they are, Sale is a lefty, which is the trump card. why?

Imagine is this team had Trayce in CF and Semien at SS

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 13, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) His contract is going to be so ridiculous. The Sox have Jose, Q, Sale and Eaton locked up to some of the most insane contracts in baseball mostly because Hahn was smart enough to realize whicih way the wind was blowing with pre arb buyouts.

That +41 RD is looking sexy. So, this offense might actually be good. Adam Eaton is on pace for like a a 7 WAR season. Lawrie is on pace for about 4. Ditto Frazier. Ok then Hahn, you keep doing you. Club has been completely remade and it feels good man. A lot of new faces the last few years and a lot of new contributers have replaced the good old boys club of laggards that were either has beens or never wasses from the end of the KW regime.

This team has great bounce back ability.

Go look the Box Score. Not a single OBP below .300 and many above .340. Cannot remember the last time I saw that on a White Sox boxscore, early mid May or otherwise.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) What a s***ty series. So many blown leads and dumb plays. Glad we are done facing Texas and we stole a game from them. stole a game? they gave away two.

Austin Jackson seems to come up with runners on an awful lot.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) So who was going to pitch the other inning then? There were 4 innings left and you only named 3 pitchers. Pen could really use a guy that can go two inning high leverage on occasion. Was really hoping it would be Jones.

Obviously it was a confluence of factors that led to blowing the lead but trying to "steal" an inning with Carroll was the 1st action that set the whole chain of events in order. I didn't know that Petricka was on the DL prior to the game but that said I still feel that RV was managing like he was playing the Twins or even the Royals instead of a really quick hitting offense like Texas. Carroll should have been on the shortest of f***ing leashes and in retrospect Albers was rushed into the game. RV just seems to be on "cruise control" at times. Not sure if that's because he puts so much trust (and authority) into cooper or what but he should have been much quicker to act last night imo. That said, Carroll and Sands have no place on a MLB roster. Carroll had zero command last night and was just hanging meatball after meatball over the zone when he was getting it over.

Wtf when did he go on the dl? That makes more sense to me then. I will say then that the team put rv in a bad spot. Carroll never should have been the guy called up. Longman is not needed in todays mlb. I was out hiking all day yesterday was he put on the dl prior to the game?

QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2016 -> 10:29 AM) That albers looked so bad should let you know why Robin's instinct was to let Carroll pitch a whole inning. The pen was gassed. ALl of our guys look tired. That carroll is our best "longman" option is scary, as we've always had a plethora of AAAA pitchers that can come up in a pinch and be okay in that scenario. Carroll clearly has lost his. There was no need for a longman with six outs left.

Where the hell were petricka and putnam? Your mopup man is not the guy you EVER want starting the 8th up five runs. He should only be used to mop up early in games where the starter s*** the bed. Awful managing.

God damnit

Rv blew it.

f*** this. Goodnight.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ May 11, 2016 -> 12:36 AM) Don't blame rv. That's trolling. Lol. Letting carroll do what he did in this park? Hardly trolling to call that playing with matches. Look what happened.

f***ing rv had no business treating this game so casually.

This is on rv getting too cute.

RV asleep at the wheel.
