QUOTE (Donaldo @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 07:29 PM) Today, nearly 90% of all Americans have cable or satellite television. That number was MUCH smaller in the early 80s. IIRC, the original Sportsvision was PREMIUM cable (like HBO). Hence the AHEAD of their time. That and WGN is dead as a regional broadcasting entity.

If there is a bright spot, it's that that defense has been really good today.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 06:23 PM) People need to stop putting pressure on these prospects to come up and dominate right away. I could tell Moncada was pressing. It’s rare for a guy to come up and be an all-star from day 1. The freak outs about small sample sizes from the majors and minors have been completely ridiculous. QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 06:41 PM) Clean house with this bullpen it’s utter trash. Nate Jones should be the only one still here by year end. Some bad decisions made by staff with assembling the bullpen. FR

This is a freaking track team.

Chicago White Sox?Verified account @whitesox 33s33 seconds ago The #WhiteSox announce Eloy Jiménez will join Class AA @BhamBarons tomorrow.

Rick C? @_RickC 4m4 minutes ago Moncada's last 3 base hits: 110.5 mph double 110.6 mph home run 109.4 mph grand slam

It finally got to the point where there was a reason to release him. Good luck to the kid.

6-2

Tim Anderson 2017 606 PA's 13 walks 2018 57 PA's 7 walks.

That was his first career Grand Slam.

The RF misjudged the hell out of that one. He started in hard, and then looked up. That ball was 10 rows deep into the stands.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 03:18 PM) Damn that was close to a bases clearing double. That'll work.

Damn that was close to a bases clearing double.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 03:11 PM) I agree...the AL West top to bottom is solid. The AL Central.....ehhh not so much. The AL Central is solid... ly trash.

Chicago White Sox?Verified account @whitesox Apr 17 Class A @WSDashBaseball OF Micker Adolfo has been named Carolina League Player of the Week for the period of 4/5-15! Adolfo hit .395 (17-43) with five doubles, two home runs and 10 RBI over 11 games to earn his first career weekly honor.

MLB Pipeline?Verified account @MLBPipeline 51m51 minutes ago Blake Rutherford messed around and got a triple double for @WSDashBaseball today: 3-for-5 with 3 doubles & a walk. The #WhiteSox No. 7 prospect is 2nd in @MiLB with 7 two-baggers - in just 10 games. http://atmlb.com/2oD91Ca

Hopefully that one doesn't come back to haunt.

Christopher Kamka? @ckamka 11m11 minutes ago #WhiteSox 15 for 17 (88.2%) in stolen bases this season. Not leading the league (Angels & Twins both 8 for 8), but really good.

Christopher Kamka? @ckamka 7m7 minutes ago It was also the first White Sox run that did NOT come via the home run since a Yolmer Sánchez sacrifice fly in 9th inning 4/10. Snaps streak of 8 straight runs scored via HR.

Colleen Kane? @ChiTribKane 47m47 minutes ago Bears announce that Devin Hester and Matt Forte will come to Halas Hall on Monday to sign one-day contracts so they can retire as Bears.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 02:32 PM) For those able to see Winston Salem, how has Vizquel done as manager? I love that the hitters are dominating so far this season and I am wondering how much of a role he has been playing. Also is he considered a "managing prospect"? Will they likely move him up if the players around him continue to perform? I remember the jump in play that Alexei took when Omar got here, and hope that the similar jump we have seen with this team this year is why.

Before today. Chuck Garfien ?Verified account @ChuckGarfien 3h3 hours ago White Sox last 8 games: 15 runs. 5-62 with RISP. 62 left on base.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:20 PM) Why do all these highly regarded arms have control issues? Lopez, Kopech, Cease, etc. My guess is that guy who can throw that hard are more worried about throwing hard than mechanics and control, so they sacrifice those for speed.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 11:51 AM) Lord. You don't get to decide what I meant. I didn't say that. I didn't use those words. I meant EXACTLY what I said. You don't get to magically add some other contextual meaning because you don't like me. It's absolutely ridiculous that you're always inferring the worst based on your own personal biases. Show me where I said what you're saying I said. If you can't, then stop making up bulls***. And ease off on the attacks, bud. Quit asking people about their race and then pretending it didn't mean anything. It really is that simple.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 12:32 PM) You never know. It wasn't too long ago we were wondering who the Sox would put in the OF with Courtney Hawkins. Except for Eloy, the rest are still a world away. There is talent there, but sometimes talent and hard work aren't enough. The Courtney Hawkins era lasted about six months.
