Avi is giving him a f***ing battle.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 29, 2017 -> 03:22 PM) I think we try and get one more inning out of Holmberg. that would be a mistake.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 29, 2017 -> 03:22 PM) Abreu didn't make any mistakes in the first. Pitcher was late getting off the mound and then the foul pop-up catch was the correct play at that point in the game The slide was just poor athletic instinct, which we have seen time and time again. If it was one time sure but he's going to get himself hurt eventually and in the meantime he costs runs. Not a bad start for Holmberg I guess. Did his role.

Sanchez is smooth.

Homberg has a breaking ball that is reminiscent of what I saw from good D III and community college pitchers.

QUOTE (beautox @ May 29, 2017 -> 03:07 PM) Melk MAN!!!!!! 3-1 Sox, nice AB by TA great to see him take and make the adjustments and nice AB and straight steal by Engel. The Sox' baserunning this year under Renteria is a breath of fresh air. They have gone from one of the worst in baseball to simply average. Thank god.

Somewhere, Earl Weaver breaks into a big grin.

The Melk Man! Raise that trade value!

Wow, great AB TA.

Anderson is a carbon copy clone what must have been a 23 year old Alexei in Cuba. That's a good thing, but we need to be patient.

Not a bad play from Jose. I'll concede the run. Nice play. Usually he drops those.

The Red Sox announcing crew is god awful. It's a mix of ignorance and arrogance.

JFC Abreu. Goodness, HE IS A DH

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 29, 2017 -> 01:37 PM) David Holmberg's long awaited White Sox starter debut I'm already over it.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ May 29, 2017 -> 12:14 PM) Thank you to all those who served and continue to serve our country, as well as their families It's because of these individuals we are able to enjoy our day to day lives and our beloved White Sox. Let's put one on the board for all those who gave their lives fighting for our freedoms. Go Sox Ugh, that is veteran's day. This is for KIA. I think it is an important distinction. That said. Go Sox. I think they are going to put some runs up on Price.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 28, 2017 -> 10:03 PM) Sanchez is also a guy who had some decent success in the minors as well. He always hit for good average once he learned a level. yea and he was usually young for his age, certainly a interesting player now that he's hitting in MLB.

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 28, 2017 -> 06:00 PM) They wanted to get the Save for Robertson. If they bring him in too early, no Save. Plus he wanted to give some quality work for Beck. lol, the man's a genius.

good topic, I voted Sanchez, just because if he hits much, his defense is very good, near elite possibly.

helluva play, wow.

wow! This is fun.

uh, Matt Davidson now has a .290 ISO. That's insane. Yolmer! Now sitting at a cool 309 AVG. Who the f*** say any of this coming? Even it's some lighting in a bottle.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2017 -> 03:35 PM) Davidson is so dangerous! the key to that entire thing was that take on 1-1, I thought for sure he was going to swing at it. Then obviously just a great swing on a mistake.

Gonzo is making them pay for being so aggresive. A lot of bad ABs by the Tigers, reminiscent of the Sox of recent years.

lol the ball found Jose's mitt, not the other way around. Perfect sunday hop, granted a sharp one.

Slash! Matt: .267 .317 .534 851 OPS Leury: 273 .323 .462 755 OPS Sanchez: .303 .344 .426 766 OPS Wily: 263 .318 .421 739 OPS even when the Sox rest Avi they still have some competent MLB hitters (currently at least) up and down the lineup outside of Jose. This is a far cry from the "3 easy out" days of the last couple years.
