So i guess that is probably why we havent seen him yet.

I thought i remembered reading that if Turner comes up, he is either here to stay or will have to be DFA if they dont like what he gives them, they cant just send him back down. Is that correct?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 6, 2016 -> 09:57 AM) I just don't get how we can judge a guy off one game this year. Everyone has a bad game, I think we need to give these 5th starters at least 2 games. Boston has been one of the better offenses in the league. If Jackson catches Shaw's long fly ball last night Johnson only allows 3 runs in 5 innings (maybe more). It isnt just one game. This has happened pretty much every time he has come up

Lets hope. It would be a very nice surprise

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 6, 2016 -> 08:32 AM) In a way, the Sox set Johnson up to fail. He did strike out a few, but they were hitting rockets off him all night. The way they have jerked him around, and obviously he has something to do with it, isn't exactly going to make him really confident on the mound, but it it's obvious to a lot of us, it has to be obvious to him, the White Sox don't think much of his ability to be effective. It is sort of like what they were with Santiago. You know they don't trust him and won't trust him. It seems like they want him to do well enough another team would give them something they considered more desirable for him. That doesn't look like it will happen, but it seems to be a lock, he'll be a trade throw in soon. So far, as bad as Danks was this year, the 2 replacements have been worse. That won't continue. I expect Gonzalez to get at least a 3 or 4 game audition. If it's bad, Turner is next. I'm sure they wouldn't mind Fulmer being ready in a month or so, but you are going to run into an innings problem with him if he is. Still 19-10. There is room for some experiments. I dont really think they have jerked him around too much. The guy has been up multiple times, and has had stinkers like this pretty much every time. You can see it in his body language when things start going wrong too, he starts to nibble and is forced to bring his bp fastball to the zone when the count is in the batters favor. I know he has bounced up and down a few times, and apparently felt that he should have stayed with the big league club out of spring training, but I think he really has gotten opportunities to show he can take this job and has peed down his leg every time. The only time i can recall a solid start from the guy was (i believe) a september start where there was zero pressure on him to perform

Long distance relationship was the worst thing that happened to me during my freshman year of college. Just a disaster

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 6, 2016 -> 07:30 AM) I honestly wouldn't mind giving Tommy Milone a chance. He couldn't be any worse than Danks or EJ. I wouldnt be so sure of that. The Twins rotation is not that good, and they are cutting Milone

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2016 -> 11:41 PM) Uh oh in a politically correct charged environment like soxtalk that is a risque joke. I can't believe people are jumping on me for not being crazy about standing in line and eating next to some guy in a dress and heels. The guy is not pulling off well being a woman and I'm not all that interested in being around somebody who is making me uncomfortable at dinnertime. quit acting like you are being forced to hold hands with the guy. All you had to do was stand there for 3 minutes and order your food and leave. Maybe you should try pulling off being a man and deal with it

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 6, 2016 -> 06:53 AM) Every time he makes a piece of crap, we say this. The guy's a clown, but he must be one hellofa smooth talker. Truth

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 6, 2016 -> 01:07 AM) Johnson has been given plenty of chances. He's four A material nothing more. In my opinion he doesn't get anymore chances. You can't make deals in early May but Hahn simply has got to run up the phone bill and try. He's got no other choice unless he wants to roll the dice on a kid like Adams since Fulmer isn't ready tet. And here's the thing folks...if Latos has a good year he's gone next year to free agency. So assuming Carson steps into the rotation, YOU ARE STILL GOING TO BE A 5th STARTER SHORT. Mark Honestly, who cares about this right now? I'm not worried about next years rotation and Latos' impending free agency. So much could and probably will happen between now and then that will change things. Address 5th starter as soon as possible, worry about offseason and next season after this season is over

That at bat tho

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) Pretty sure I was all on board for Fowler after cespedes was off the board The revisionism is the assumption that the Sox could simply grab Fowler like that

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) Jackson is such a disappointment. And to think we had Fowler just sitting there with little competition. Hello revisionism

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 5, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) So much for that. I typed that after the Homerun. He already had ruined it

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) Why are they calling so many freaking fastballs Nothing he is throwing has command, fastball is probably the easiest for him to spot

Come on Johnson. Just one scoreless

Book your flight to Charlotte, Erik. Try and get that Red Eye

QUOTE (SCCWS @ May 5, 2016 -> 06:30 PM) Why??? This thread has over 10 pages so a lot of fans have an opinion on it. Isn't that the point of a message board?? Being a long time White Sox diehard, I do find it interesting. Since I live over 1,200 miles away I rarely see a Sox game live. So I am always wondering what happened to the White Sox fan base. First off, it was a Play on words, just a joke. Second off, there is nothing in this thread I haven't read before. We haven't deleted these threads though

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 5, 2016 -> 06:01 PM) But they don't. Studios are never unhappy with a couple hundred million in profit, all things considered. Could it have made more? Sure. But it also could have made less and lost them money. Again, they crank out Transformers movies which critics hate, but people see them...so long as they're making profits they're not going to care. Sure, when I sell a stock I'd prefer to sell it at 100 instead of 75, but if I bought it at 40...I'm not really going to cry. If they wanted Snyder gone, he'd likely be gone by now...instead he's already filming The Justice League. Sure they are, that's why Spiderman is in the MCU now. I know Snyder isn't going anywhere now, but if he makes another piece of crap, he is done. Bottom line, this franchise should be making more. A lot more. And WB knows that

Chris Matthews has absolutely nothing to do with what you have said Nobody is perfect, I am certainly not. I like to at least try and accept others for who they are though

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2016 -> 04:26 PM) I'm sorry. I was grossed out and freaked out. He had high heels was stumbling in them. Was obviously a guy. Had a dress. Can I help it that I like women, not men, and looking at the guy at that time made me not want to eat? He mighta been the nicest guy in the world, but I can't be willing to be nice 100 percent of the time. Seeing the guy brought all sorts of images of what might be wrong with him. Yes people think about stuff. At least I didn't say anything like Chris Matthews getting away with ogling Trump's wife on a hot mic. I just didn't follow the guy in. Some people don't think guys in drag are appealing that's all. What the hell are you talking about? Nobody says that if you are near someone in drag or is transgendered that you have to find them appealing. That's quite a jump in logic.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ May 5, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Look at WB's non superhero films. They let directors come in with their vision and do whatever they want, with no interference and complete creative control. Look at the original films of Nolan, Affleck, Del Toro, Guy Ritchie, and Todd Phillips for example. Plus, WB is the only studio shelling out major cash for original films and giving their filmmakers final cut. You can't say that about Disney. JJ Abrams (who get's do whatever he wants at Paramount) said that the studio execs were involved at every step of the way on The Force Awakens. Look at Marvel. Joss Whedon walked away because he was tired of fighting with the studio on everything on AoU. Ava DuVernay, was in deep talks with Marvel for months about directing Black Panther and she pulled out because she didn't want to deal with the studio. Patty Jenkins was hired to direct Thor 2 and pulled out a couple months later. And there's Edgar Wright. DC has only had one filmmaker leave, Seth Grahame Smith didn't leave the Flash, he just isn't directing it (Fingers crossed for Guy Ritchie or Edgar Wright). I don't think that Zack Snyder directing the first 2 films in the DCEU means that it isn't filmmaker friendly. Remember John Favreau directed two of the first three films in the MCU and he was pretty involved, at least in name, in some of the other Phase 1 films. We arent talking about all WB movies, we are talking about DC movies. As much as you keep trying to deny, Snyder mapped this thing out, he is in charge. He hand picked all of the characters, he is producing all of them, he is directing the tentpoles. And now, the s*** is hitting the fan. Wan has to come out and tell everyone his movie isnt gonna be so serious, Suicide Squad just went into panic reshoots to make sure the movie doesnt have the same moody tone of a Snyder movie. SGS left Flash, and while you are acting like this isnt a big deal, it is a big deal. Marvel can weather directors leaving their francises and replacing them, they have built up a tremendous amount of good will because their films by and large have been good, some of them great. DC doesnt have that good will. They have a director who immediately tore up the fabric of what made Superman a special character, and then had to "fix" the s*** storm that he caused with Batman vs Superman. Except he didnt fix anything, he doubled down on it. He ruined Supermans biggest foil in Lex Luthor by making him a whiny little spoiled s***. One of the most feared criminals in Supermans rogues gallery reduced to a sniveling brat with daddy issues. He also threw away one of Supermans greatest adversaries ever and half assed the Supermans Death storyline for literally no reason at all. The guy took two excellent plots in BvS and The Death of Superman, mixed in bit of The Dark Knight Returns and threw them together. WHY?!?! That is 3 compelling separate stories!!! Why mash them together and waste all three at once?! Look man, I know you are hooked into WB somehow, trying to get in to the business. You try and look at the good in movies and pump up the art you see in them, but DC has gotten out on a terrible foot. Joss Whedon left for a multitude of reasons, he was burnt out, he had problems dealing with Marvel because they had a grand plan and were trying to shoehorn that in. This isnt a secret. But that doesnt mean that these movies havent been good. We threw a bunch of different movie genres at you within the last phase, not even the entire marvel catalog, and you are ignoring it acting like they are all the same. Being nice, im gonna say that DC needs a fresh perspective and someone to take a Kevin Feige overview look on this and pull things together going forward. Being blunt, im gonna say that Zack Snyder is a trash director and they need to ditch him as soon as yesterday.
