QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 9, 2015 -> 05:28 PM) IMO, the team needs to take a chance on a different catcher. I don't care if that's Kottaras or even Kevan Smith, Flowers has proven he is not starter material. If he didn't have the BABIP fairy in April of 2014 IMO he'd be out of the league. That was the only thing that saved him from a year under the mendoza line.

Pathetic. You can't keep running an infield out with Conor, Micah and Abreu in it.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2015 -> 05:24 PM) Eaton just can't get rid of the ball quickly enough...not the best throwing mechanics. He'd be better off just slinging it sidearm quickly. I have never seen such a long throwing motion result in such a weak, inaccurate throw. He winds up like he's freaking Vlad and than usually unloads a Juan Pierre like squirt.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 9, 2015 -> 05:23 PM) Just waiting for game 2 and Carlos Rodon White Sox baseball 2015!

lol ball goes into the outfield on a pitch out.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2015 -> 05:05 PM) Think about it this inning: - Abreu knocks ball away due to not knowing where infielders are - Conor makes bad throw on DP chance - bad throw by Johnson after Alexei takes his time - Abreu isn't even looking at the ball on scoop attempt - flowers can't block another pitch in dirt Hey they aren't as bad as Cleveland!

will we aever see an infield defense of gordon, ramirez, sanchez, la roche? That is actually a damn good infield compared to the joke we have now.

wow flowers.

Micah needs to hold that ball if the alternative is throwing wild.

defense just cost the Sox 2 runs. Pathetic.

can this combo turn a f***ing dp today or what? Come on.

Thanks hopefully they get it fixed.

one of the few games this season I was going to acdtually be able to sit down and watch and it's not on mlb.tv. I swear this season has been a f***ing trip man. Between the riots, the rain outs, the losing, the fight, not televising a saturday day game? Just not a lot of fun so far.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2015 -> 04:08 PM) They just dug themselves a bigger hole dignifying Levine's initial "be more hands on" with further clarification. It's obvious that there's dissent in the ranks. JR has cultivated a cult of personality and it extends to many of the reporters that follow the Sox and Bulls, like Merkin, and KC Johnson. That Levine was able to get this story speaks volumes imo about the situation in the Sox' FO. It doesn't not seem like a unified front. I think that KW is already trying to spin this season how he wants it. His comment about not having enough talent was crazy. Why would you say that? Even if you think you sure as s*** don't say it. He's already giving excuses not to move on from RV.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2015 -> 03:24 PM) Yes. The front office needs to take advice from message board fans on how to run their billion dollar operation. You think it's good for a billion dollar operation to have more than one public face? You think it's good to have a story about how upper management has to tell their hand picked manager to act more competent? How do you spin this story as a good thing?

is the game blacked out on MLB.tv or somet s***? wtf

Just sloppy leadership all around. KW needs to keep his mouth shut and let Hahn be the public voice of management. All I see KW doing here is meddling and running his mouth. It's not a good look.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 7, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) Big come back win last night, great weather for baseball today. There is nothing that will get this team going I think we are just watching a bad to mediocre team. That's the occam's razor explanation. Win some, lose some. End of year will be around 75 wins at this rate.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) Kind of amazing the team's won 10 games when so many of the core players have been absolutely horrific. They're playing even beyond worst case scenario projections. Again, an indication that a change should probably be made in the clubhouse. Not even those jerks at Baseball Prospectus thought they'd be this bad!

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) I just dont see that holding up. I mean, it could... but I dont see it. Alexei is going to turn into a pumpkin soon. I just really hope they didn't hold on to him too long. Eaton is young he should improve but it wouldn't shock me to see Ramirez fall off a cliff.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) Probably saving other guys for this weekend when the bomb squad is pitching. For the most part, and certainly there are exceptions, you play to win the game you're playing and worry about tmr later. If that was indeed his justification it's a poor excuse imo.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:38 PM) You know things are pretty bad when the "Lil' Bulldog" is frustrated with the current state of affairs. Beat the Royals two times...no momentum, same with this series. Just can't seem to get anything going without self-sabotaging it. How many games have the Sox given away so far this year? I'd say a handful between the mental, physical and bad managing. Can't be giving games away like this. I'm not even angry anymore I just expect it under RV. I've come to acceptance. He'll never get fired unless the Sox are 20 under in June or something.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2015 -> 03:35 PM) JD MARTINEZ HAD STRUCK OUT 20 times in his last 30 plate appearances before that at-bat. The bigger question is why they even walked him. damn didn't know he was slumping too. can't defend RV here although I'm sure someone will try.

Adam Eaton has Juan Pierre's arm and his brain seems to think he has Vlad's arm. Bad combo.

Do the White Sox have an advanced scouting crew? Castellanos is in a huge f***ing slump wtf are they doing. The margin for error is quickly eroding with this season and these sorts of things are just giving games away on a weekly basis. Frustrating man.
