it's about f***ing time somebody lined a meatball into CF instead of whiffing on it.

YES A HIT WITH RISP! GOOD JOB NICKY.

how the f*** do you get jammed on a changeup? jfc jose. it would be nice if you remembered how to hit this road trip.

are you f***ing kidding me? what a play. sigh.

Eloy back in action, had a oppo field double yesterday in extended spring training. I'd guess he joins Birmingham next week. https://twitter.com/longenhagen/status/986300093904011264

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 11:38 AM) is the hole in his UCL something that is just going to heal? Is there surgery being put off? Seems so strange to just have a bad elbow and not worry about it Hahn described it as a "pinhole" tear that could heal on its own over the course of this year so that he doesn't need surgery. That would be the absolute best case scenario but in my estimation only has about a 50% chance of happening. That said, say it doesn't heal well enough and he has to have surgery sometime in late August -- not awful. He still got a full year of PA and he'll probably be back sometime in June '19 as a full time position player again. He'll have to miss some development time in the offseason and spring but the most important thing is to not stall his progress at the plate this year and that has been avoided. Micker said he feels no pain when he swings so that's great. thanks NorthSide for that info on Basabe. He certainly looked the part in spring from what I saw. Just send him film of Dee Gordon!

This trade is looking better right now than 6 months ago that's for sure.

No idea who this Triggs guy is but on paper he's been good this year. This looks like an L. That said, let's try and not get swept by a mediocre Oakland squad. Weather will be nice at gametime, sunny, upper 50s to low 60s. Can't use that excuse today.

what's holding Basabe back in CF, routes?

Trayce can't stay healthy and that's his big red flag. Even when healthy his bat profiles as 4th OF. He's a rich man's Engel. I'd prefer to just keep running Leury out there but it seems the Sox will keep Engel as the starter for now.

good pitch, got 'em, oh well.

this is great experience for yoan.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 12:42 AM) Funny thing is fWAR loves his base running and likes his defense so far. After tonight, his bsr value is higher after 14 games than it was all of last year we finally have a true 5 tool player. maybe 4.5 I guess with his hit tool. now if they all play... who knows, but it's exciting.

let's turn todd jones into a 3 inning starter.

YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD YEAESS! HELL YEA! THE 2ND HR OF THE SEASON OFF THE BAT OF YOUNG YOAN MONCADA AND IT'S A 10-2 GAME! HE TURNED ON THAT ONE!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 12:27 AM) This is just sad. Our pitching has given up 18 runs in 16 innings and our offense has delivered one run def a low point.

I hope the bulls move up in the lottery.

The White Sox turn every pitcher into Greg Maddux.

lmao the closer is in to get work in the 6th down 8-0. Chi Sox baseball, catch the fever!

it's only teh 6th inning? can we forfeit?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 11:52 PM) Another DP, I think I’m calling it a night. that's what she said.

stone is turning into hawk. this is scary.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 11:38 PM) Caught in-between on 3-2 pitch. Solid AB it was, tbf. some nice takes.

come on yoan don't guess breaking ball 3-2.
