Hawkfan

How much input does the pitching coach typically have on deciding who the closer is? Depends on the pitching coach? Does coop get media questions about who the closer will be or is that only Robin? I can't remember the last time we had a closer issue, and I've never thought about it.

Who the hell is this Semien guy? he's not too f***n bad

had no fear the whole time!! thank god I wasn't watching the game.

Lindstrom has always given up a lot of hits, so he's going to be a stressful closer.

I love Paulie

LETS GO!!

His wrist injury must be worse than I thought.

Anybody who truly thinks like that, I don't want them on my team.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 04:36 AM) This is exactly what he signed up for, he said so himself. I don't give a s*** what he said in some stupid interview. saying so and meaning it are two very different things for a player with his competetive mindset. Getting fewer at bats was expected, but this is rediculous.

Fans should remember the progression to the mean, just as much as the regression to the mean. However, I did not think they would bench him as much as they have this year. I can't believe he signed up for this s***. I find it hard to believe he is very motivated.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 10:25 PM) Conor Gillaspie will be sidelined for the next few games due to soreness in his left hand. The injury is not a major concern, and the White Sox simply don't want it to linger. Gillaspie is batting .302/.347/.413 with 12 RBI in 16 games this season. Rotoworld.com I can't believe I'm actually upset about this.

David vs. Goliath on the mound. Lets get some hits!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 03:27 AM) 3 is my guess. Maybe 4. I wonder if coop will put him in the bullpen again when he gets back.

how many starts is he going to miss then?

we're dicked.

Great to see Danks being effective even with his slower velocity. Great to see Tank Killin it!

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 03:13 AM) lmao at Rajai pimping a 280 ft flyball that was awesome, but that bastard scared me. this ball game is ovvaaa

the hitters he is facing suck, so it shouldn't matter.

so glad that stayed in

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 01:29 AM) Really doesn't help when Alexei swings at the first pitch and pops it up in foul territory. If you are going to swing at the first pitch make sure you at least hit it in play. You hate swinging at the first pitch so much!

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 01:11 AM) Is it really necessary polluting the game thread with this junk several times a game? Are u referring to the brevity and lack of substance or the choice of words?

Alexei is batting 380 I dont think we can criticize. Unless u just enjoy seeing a base on balls More than a hit

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 05:21 PM) Ok cool sorry Hawkfan! Lol It's cool. This was my first victory, so I was nervous I would forget to post today's game. Thanks for havin my back.

Before we started the season, I kept hearing that his bat speed was a little slow. If that is true, then he has probably guessing on more pitches rather than recognizing them. So he could be streaky until he learns to quicken his swing.
