QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 03:00 PM) I would be more inclined to see the hypocrisy of Trump if this place was not such an echo chamber. Surely we can talk about a president on what we do like, and don't like. I find it hard to believe that Trump has done nothing right. I mean just meeting with Kim Jung On to prevent nuclear war has to be a start? The stock market did not Tank as predicted under Trump, let me guess, he was riding Obamas Coat Tails. And can any of you seriously defend the TPP? Please enlighten me. I would be curious to hear you outline what parts of the economic growth are due to Obama, and which are due to Trump, and why.

Davidson has drawn his 8th walk of 2017. He had 19 in all of 2017.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 03:11 PM) Do you really think that Kopech and Eloy will make that much of a difference though? I understand being excited to see them make their debuts and what not, but as far as team development goes, not sure it will be much more than what we are currently seeing. Unless this team gradually gets better as the year plays on. I guess I also forgot about Rodon. Still though. Eloy might have a chance to be a stud from day one. The odds are against it, but with his profile, maybe. Kopech still has some decent holes in his game which are covered up by going against minor league talent. I absolutely promise that Kopech will have his ups and downs for at least his first couple of years. Though this is an interesting thing to note. As Kopech has struggled to put up innings because of injuries and issues from year to year (at least until 2017), he has almost the exact same number of IP in his professional career as Carson Fulmer does. I mean if that doesn't emphasize how much work Carson still has to do, I don't know what does.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 03:07 PM) It’s not a contest to be more cool and level headed as the next person. You can watch and get frustrated while knowing this season means nothing. Most people know that. But you’re the coolest. Congratulations. It is also not a contest to see who can have the most dramatic reactions from pitch to pitch.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:51 PM) If you're not ready to accept some struggles from Carson Fulmer this year I don't know what to tell you. There's a talented pitcher in there, but I'd wager he winds up with an ERA above 5.00 this year. We're trying to undo the damage we did to him in 2016, so that's our penance. I went back and looked it up. Carson Fulmer still has less than 300 total innings pitched in professional baseball since he was drafted in 2015. Essentially he is somewhere around A+ and AA in terms of reps. It shouldn't be shocking that he is pretty inconsistent.

Reading a game thread only confirms that White Sox fans can't handle an actual rebuild.

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:50 PM) How many pages do we have to go down before any of you condemn Jimmy Kimmel as a racist, sexist, homophobic pig? I get you all hate the leader of the US. Great. This place has turned into a disgusting echo chamber. Anyone with a dissenting opinion is swarmed by vultures with venom and jumped like a 5 on 1 gang fight. Really shameful because this place used to be alright back in the days of Yasny, Steph , Gene Honda etc At least have an open mind that some of us are tired of being lectured politics by High-Horsed-Hollywood-Elitists. Same s*** when half of them lecture on Global Warming and then Get on their Jet to go home to their Not so Green Mansions. Stop falling so far left that you won't admit it when something is wrong on your side. lmao. This is soooo weak. Leave the Cult of Trump for long enough to admit that something is wrong on your "side". Donald Trump is a con artist. He is the biggest political con artist in US politics since Bill Clinton. You can see the hypocrisy of the left, but you sure can't see the exact same garbage in Trump.

That was a pretty nice play by Abreu off of the ricochet.

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:36 PM) I disagree. Then why use him whenever Trump is mentioned?

That sure looked like it hit the dirt. Get the ball and see if there is any shoe polish on it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:31 PM) 1-18 for Abreu at home Abreu never hits in cold weather.

Davidson had 19 walks in all of 2017. He has 7 in 2018.

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:27 PM) Clearly Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel is Sexist, Homophobic and Racist. All the characteristics many of you accuse Trump of, but yet you defend Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel did something, so clearly that makes it OK that Donald Trump does.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:24 PM) Anyway, it seems like it is only a matter of time before this administration does something dumb in Syria.

That ball was flat, down the middle, and 92 mph, and Gomez swung right through it.

Hector up and warming.

And now Fulmer is getting squeezed.

That didn't get away from the catcher by much more than the opposite batters box, and Engel took that base even with a good throw.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:02 PM) That was ball four by six to eight inches. And the next one was just as high, called Ball 4.

That was ball four by six to eight inches.

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 01:57 PM) All the contending teams are going to have a boatload of money to spend as well. Dodgers, Cubs, Yankees, Sox, etc. Yes they will.

Sally was robbed on that one. Nice range by the TB 2B on that play up the middle.

Tough hop played nicely by Tyler

And this is exactly why Delmonico's bat is so important.
