QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 09:20 AM) After watching Dunn play this weekend, I'm now totally on board with just letting him go. I can't see how we'd be any worse of a baseball team. Dunn is now doing exactly what people asked him to do. He's swinging earlier in the count, trying to make more contact, and taking fewer walks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 07:38 PM) So is he really hurt, or are they just trying to bury him for a roster spot. Why would they want to call Tyler Green up?

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 03:54 PM) No hitter alert for Bucholz thru 7. Think he is at 99 pitches tho. TY, always nice to have something to put on.

Yay Paulie and Jake!

Yay a win

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 03:33 PM) Gameday for me so I assume Bourn is the one hurt? Yeah, looks like his hand got stepped on. Might well have broken something. Edit: eww, bleeding badly.

That's why you don't slide into first headfirst

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 03:22 PM) Not sure a ball hit that hard is accidentally He's been trying to hit that the entire day. Thornton in.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 03:14 PM) If Ale & Kepp can start hitting consistently & the sleeping giants in Dunn & Paulie wake up fully this offense will be much better. Tank & Flowers well.......I just dont know right now haha Alexei's been hitting very well already. .325 on the season, .857 OPS. Much hotter than his usual first 2 weeks of April.

Keppinger is swinging a really good looking bat right now.

De Aza's been trying for that all bloody day.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 03:06 PM) Anyone warming up for the Sox? Veal and Lindstrom were up that inning. Wouldn't be surprised if that became Jones instead now.

Nice finish JP!

God, we got a lead and suddenly this thread went completely silent.

Jake's getting a little harder hit here

FINALLY

Man, nice inning Jake.

Finally Rios gets a hit

Viciedo just keeps fouling those fastballs off the opposite way.

Bats are terrible.

Dunn continues swinging early, not striking out, and being retired.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 01:20 PM) did flowers not know how many outs there were? That was a very slow inning

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 01:20 PM) Tyler Greene? Why not Carlos Sanchez? Do they seem him as a viable prospect still? They're not calling up a viable prospect to play once a week.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 14, 2013 -> 01:10 PM) Separate issues. Fine, they have bad weather and have to make it up. That happens. These "one off" series year round when teams don't face each other again will cause more travel issues for teams, while they claim the unbalanced schedule helps with travel. It could be good for some teams and worse for others. But they'll also sell 5k more tickets.

Sigh.
