Do we get to pick and choose which slippery slope we slide down? Because I want to slide down the one that takes us from fewer racist symbols to fewer racists in general.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) I can't see him being called up this year under any circumstance. This is still the white sox.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) It feels even worse when you consistently give up leads in the last 2 innings. Like...um, David Robertson?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) What I should have said was to work as a roving instructor at both the major and minor league levels, because it's already an ingrained trait with Flowers (at least according to the stats). What were Nieto's stats in this area last year? Also with Kevan Smith, Austin and especially our young Latin American catching prospects (Arizona/Dominican Summer League, etc.) I can't imagine he played enough for the numbers to be significant.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 04:24 PM) Nice job by Duke. Letting Victor reach and getting out of it was a break, as he is now out of the game. 2nd most important play of the game was letting Victor Martinez single.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 04:59 PM) If Robertson can't get out Josh Wilson..... He is hitting .412...

Well 2 outs but we managed to bring up Cabrera.

Tigers 3b coach doesn't realize that Eaton's not going to go all out to get the ball back in, holds runner at 3rd expecting Eaton to hustle.

Is Robertson getting into that "It's never easy with him" mode?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) [delete] Hey I'll be wrong on that one.

Well how about that.

Wondering a little bit if Bonifacio should have been used here.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 04:32 PM) I don't see Johnson's speed translating to the majors either. Maybe we can bring in someone who was really good at stealing bases in the 1980s to coach his technique...

2 on, 1 out, Alexei and Flowers coming up.

So that's Avi doing exactly what Jose Tabata did.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) So are we actually turning Martinez around to hit right handed on purpose? A single up the middle, ok, coulda been worse, not terrible.

Jose Abreu does not like back to back afternoon games I guess.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 04:08 PM) I hated the signing, but Duke is no LOOGY. It's pretty close, but he has been slightly worse vs. LH hitters. He actually looked a lot like a LOOGY in May, was much better against lefties than righties for the first 6 weeks, then for like 2 weeks imploded against lefties.

I think Iglesias hits that out of quite a few ballparks.

Oh Jesus Christ Flowers.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) Robin is giving him the 8th and Danks the 9th to troll Soxtalk. Putnam's up too I believe they said.

Alexei jumped all over that pitch like a high fastball in 2009.

Time for another Petricka-induced-DP.

Awful bunt by Kinsler is a huge favor to us. Is he always that bad at bunting? Yeesh.
