Robin it's time to pull him come on that's 3 straight hits and 100+ pitches.

oh poop.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:58 PM) 2 yrs in a row now he has been hurt. Seems like a guy we might want to think about giving proactive rest to earlier in the season...but that would require proactive managing, and that's one place I have no problem saying Robin fails.

@scottmerkin Career strikeout No. 900 for Chris Sale

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) Thing is now, if we're gonna keep giving away outs and not drive guys in, Robin needs to start adjusting. Double steal, hit and run.. something cause moving guys along ain't helping. Bigger problem right now is how bad Abreu looks. Healthy Abreu and I think it's a 2-2 game. That's just what he does.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) Calling for a bunt in that situation is reason enough to fire ventura. 2 on no out; heat of the order coming up, and Robbie plays for 1 or 2. managing scared. I have no problem with playing for the tie right there.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) battling Actually fell down on that swing.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) Saladino can bunt.. that's enough reason for him to stay up here. "Looks like we finally have a guy on our team who can bunt" - Hawk just now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) Good guy to have up here. I'd walk him if I were Ned, but I'm nuts. With the way he's looking right now, I'd probably take my chances with Jose rather than Cabrera.

well at least that was a quick review.

Duffy in some trouble here...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:29 PM) I preferred sending a rested Sale out there in Game One of the series to maybe shut them out and show the Royals we finally came to play some ball against a team that owns us. Not saying it 100 percent would have worked. For competition sake I wanted Sale/Shark. The irony of course is that so far Danks put up the best outing of any of the starters and is on pace to have the only win.

Only 5 K's through 6 for Sale. Guess that's the Royals for you.

2-0 Royals HR Cain.

That was a fast 5th inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:13 PM) He looks nowhere near 100 pct running QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) He's definitely hurt. I think that finger/hand is hampering him a lot more than people think. Just to point out...a finger/hand injury shouldn't impact a guy running...so he got a full 5 days off and there's still multiple things nagging him. Not a good sign for his career, honestly.

So far this series Abreu 1/13 with 2 walks.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:03 PM) 37 pitches through 3 isn't exactly "sox are going to pound him territory" Didn't say we were going to "pound" him, just think we'll get on the board.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) I'm like you. I liked Gillaspie. At times he hit pretty well but for whatever reason not so much this year. I liked the guy though; I wish him well. Now to get rid of Bonifacio who makes even less sense to still have around. Trayce Thompson makes more sense to me right now. Bah, let TT get some PAs. Sitting on the bench playing once every 2 weeks isn't a recipe for him to become a successful ballplayer.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 02:55 PM) It'll be when they put up a big fat 0 today So far Duffy hasn't had "shutout" level stuff. The White Sox have gotten some hits, just given things away like Cabrera did last inning.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) Flowers now has 9 passed balls, he has to be leading the league Russell Martin has 16. (Knuckleball problems?)

I think everyone on this team went out celebrating the 05 team last night.

Couple extremely soft hits puts Sale in early trouble.

Been a week since I've watched Chris pitch and I'm surprised how much I've missed it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 02:43 AM) He said in his followup that McCain was a hero. He is denying saying anything bad. I already told u who was gonna win: HILLARY in a landslide. Such a straight shooter, tells it like it is and then sticks to his guns. You should be proud.
