QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2015 -> 04:53 PM) One of the things I liked about early-career Ozzie Guillen was that if you asked out of a game you sat the next day. I liked that as well. Can't let the players decide when they want to play. Look at Detroit for example. They have run V-Mart and Miggy into the f***ing ground the past couple years. Management has to manage the players because players want to play and I love how hard Avi goes -- but gotta be smart long term.

Good to read about Avi but I'd give him the day off anyways.

If the Sox go 70-57 they make 88 wins. I think that's doable. I am encouraged. Not saying it will happen but it looks a helluva lot better than 0-4 and 12-17.

crowd looked ok on tv but it was only 17k announced? Can't really spin that but hopefully they keep winning and the weather keeps warming and the park fills.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:22 PM) Avi listed as day to day Give Boni a day out there in RF or Shuck, doesn't matter. Just let Avi heal up Sox are going to need him for the long haul.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) We need ptatc here and fast! When I hear swelling of the knee I think arthroscope and he could miss 2-4 weeks, right? You can't let it continue all year I'd imagine but ptatc can tell us for sure. Usually they do a "scope" on a meniscus tear caused by inflammation and soreness they can't otherwise account for. I believe both Rose and Dougie played on a minor meniscus tear last season before going under and missing time. Hell, Victor Martinez rushed back from his and isn't playing that well, but he's old and has blown up his knee many times. If it's something like a strained MCL, bruise, or tendonitis the prescription is just to rest as much as possible and rehab, no surgery required. We shall see, I think he might have just bruised it.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) his knee? kind of strange looking at the replay. I thought it was going to be hip pain just from experience, as someone with bad knees, I could tell right away it was his knee. THen he gestured to Herm and now they are saying "inflammation", which is the body's response to injury and usually not a good sign although not necessarily that uncommon for a pro athlete. Get him on the Derrick Rose foam rolling yoga plan.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) Nice, but sounds a bit ominous and scary this early in season. Arthroscope in future? as I'm sure ptac will tell you, inflammation can be caused from any number of reasons and hopefully at this point it's not caused by anything other than a bruise. It's possible he's dealing with tendonitis or that he has a structural problem. It's also possible this is nothing, time will tell. IMO, just from how he was jogging and how he gestured it looked to be something that flared up from use. Hopefully a day or two off can solve it.

So, uh, the 2015 Chicago White Sox, have uh, I guess, the 6TH BEST RECORD IN THE AL. They are 1.5 out of the WC. You gotta be bleeping me! Great turnaround boys.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 18, 2015 -> 09:46 PM) So much different than last year's team. Kudos to RV for using his elite closer like an elite closer. That 9th was huge.

Sanchez is contributing. Hope Avi is OK. Sale dominated! Great win! Beat Kluber! Sanchez has a good hit tool. He doesn't have much else, but he can put the ball into play, sometimes fairly hard!

SOX WIN THE KID SANCHEZ!

come on kid.

why the f*** would you not bunt?

what a joke.

now you bunt.

looked like his left knee. f*** man.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 18, 2015 -> 09:15 PM) Heh.. I'm not seeing it but I hope your right. Our best chance will be the 10th and clutch Avi winning it. well robertson only had 13 pitches so maybe best of both worlds. nice having him. he's lights out.

Robertson saying "GIVE me 2!"

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 18, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Kluber has 93 pitches Robin. I wouldn't be using Robertson this early. this is good there won't be a higher leverage inning. Sox will have a real chance to win it against a tiring Kluber.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 18, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) You're really upset about losing Flowers? worried out losing soto in the 12th.

wow, rv, I love you right now. Great call!

I just don't think having a speedy guy helps that much with 1 on, 1 out. Not so much that you risk losing your catcher in what might turn into a long ass game.

really we lose our catcher now? That's dumb IMO.

f*** off tribe crew that's not a strike just because the ump has been out there all night don't expect it.
