QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) God this organization is f***ing awful. I hope this kid is not continually asked to do this bulls***. This kid is big time and ready to be a STARTER. He is NOT a reliever and should never be asked to be one. Yet they ask him to come in and do something that half our bullpen cannot do and get an out and save us from losing yet again (in his major league debut). That is setting him up for failure from the beginning. Wtf why would you do that. Yes I am ranting and it feels good to do so. preach man. let the hate flow through you. this org is baffling at times.

way to set your guys up for success. Jesus Rodon battled but COME ON. It's not freaking game 1 of the playoffs.

jesus

damn avi bad luck

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) You don't have to call for a high fastball after every 0-2 count Flowers. bury one in the dirt outside

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 08:00 PM) Honestly, I'm sure someone will call hindsight on me, but I would have strongly considered the double steal during Melky's at-bat. On a night like this, I feel like it's worth being extra aggressive on the base-paths, at least as long as Carrasco is pitching. I agree, why the hell not?

Melky did a good job to go and get it too bad he'd have been better striking out. Oh well, I'm encouraged. They are hitting some balls sharply and Eaton bunting for a hit is nice to see.

when Noesi has some semblance of command a decent changeup he's not half bad. Problem is so far he rarely has it. He did have a decent 2nd half last year.

that was low.

gotta love eaton's interactions with the fans.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 07:31 PM) Wasn't a bad pitch he just caught up to a high fastball yup.

lol Avi in the old school ski mask.

wow 5 k from last night stayed all night apparently they closed the gates. pathetic.

sweaty freddy out there we got a shot.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 06:56 PM) Add that to it being a Monday night down 3-0 in the 9th, you don't get many people left. it's a bad visual that's for sure.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) When I worked with Sox Sales team they had stressed the importance of filling the seats that are shown on TV. You're essentially Kramer at the Oscars. lol. My Tigers fan buddy and I were watching the 9th last night drunk and he was just ripping the crowd I could do nothing but just laugh myself. I get the weather is bad but come on this is (on paper) an exciting team.

I'm hoping for a fun game get to watch this one at home with some brews.

Some quick fWAR numbers: Jose -- .3 Gordon .3 Avi .2 Tyler .2 Sanchez .1 Soto .1 everyone else is negative or at 0. Not very good offensive start. Micah, Alexei, Conor, Eaton and Melky need to step it up big time. Melky is showing signs we'll see about the other guys. Fangraphs like Eaton's defense so far but -5.2 runs with the bat already. Yikes.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) Why not "fettucine" like Alfredo Griffin? I can't spell that s***.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 02:23 PM) We disagree often, but we are in 100% agreement over this. Not really even a blip for me. I'd drop 4 of 6 to the Cubs every year if you could guarantee me a playoff berth still. As a Sox fan not in Chicago the amount of references to the Cubs from fans IN CHICAGO drives me nuts. I mean, I get it. It's worse when you're there. I'm lucky I moved out of Michigan or MSU fans would never let me hear the end of their last few years. That said, when you win a walkoff like last night and Kris Bryant shows up in the winner thread -- GTFO. I don't give a s*** about the Cubs, and other than the 6 times they play they have no relevance to any sort of enjoyment I get out of being a Sox fan.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 02:50 PM) Is that his real nickname or just one you gave him? Any pitcher can look like a CY Young pitcher for a start or two in their career. Didn't Noesi do 8 innings last year? Well his names Alfredo and he has a gut so I'm going with "Pasta".

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 01:32 PM) Nah. Noesi is going 9 innings of 0 run ball. That would be nice. After watching Afredo "Pasta" Simon throw 8 innings of 1 run ball I'm convinced anyone can do it.

Will we see Rodon today?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) Great Grantland piece on Carlos Rodon: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/mlb-carl...cago-white-sox/ Thanks for that but like most of their stuff it left me wanting less oratory and more actual analysis. Oh well. Rodon has a filthy slider, write poems to it. I just hope he contributes to a playoff team this year.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 01:32 PM) There was nothing wrong with Jeff and the athletic training staff. Her coming in to be the "supervisor" for a couple of the players has really made a current mess out of things. Not necessarily her fault as she was put in a difficult position but you will see changes after this season. Uh, there's no way the Deng situation was not a colossal f***up. He could have died thanks to the Bulls.
