QUOTE (chw42 @ May 13, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) Good teams bounce back like this. Sale saved a much overworked bullpen. Hopefully Q can do the same tomorrow. Yep, the entire pen has now had two full days off. Jones and Robertson have had three. Even a guy like Jennings who threw 60 pitches over 3 days time should be back to full strength.

8-0, 24-12

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 13, 2016 -> 08:47 PM) Short and sweet. It's how he should be. He has enough natural power. I know people use the Cabrera comp, but a pre-steroid Maggs seems about right to me for a ceiling.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 13, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) I think he has been hurt all year. He was still pumping out 97-98 early in the game.

He is just making it look easy.

This is the most awesome thing ever. https://twitter.com/120Sports/status/731292024410804224

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 13, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) You are exactly correct about Harry Caray. And if our inept owner had left well enough alone back in 1981 when he had the ultimate package of Harry Caray AND WGN together, we wouldn't be talking about attendance problems today. The inimitable Caray was well on his way to selling the White Sox experience to a national audience on 'GN back in '81 the same way he would eventually do with the Cubs a few years later, which garnered them the national popularity that they enjoy to this very day. There has been nary an empty seat in Wrigley Field in over 30 years now, and that's primarily due to the effect of Caray on 'GN selling the Cubs back in the 80s. Could of/should of been us, folks. It's that simple. Letting Caray go over petty reasons was a mistake of the highest consequence on the part of Reinsdorf & Co. that will characterize, among many other things, a failed legacy as owner of our Sox. Harry was here for a decade. Exactly how long should his magic have taken to work?

Sevarino has pain the back of his elbow, and it getting an MRI. That isn't good.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 05:32 PM) He seems totally clueless at the plate this year. Fastball in, slider away, Jose gone. Very disappointing stuff. QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 13, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) from Abreu's plate discipline tab in fangraphs (and other notes): -His swings at out of zone pitching are way down. His swinging-strike % is lower than either of his other two years. (he is seeing his usual/career normal amount of in-zone pitches) -Overall contact is higher than it's been in either of his previous two years, as is the case for his in-zone contact. -Compared to the rest of his career, line drive % and ground ball % are both lower than ever. More flyballs. He's more judicious than ever this year. Striking out less than ever, but he's hitting it less hard and when it lands, it's in a glove. On what planet are these two posts similar? The only similarity I see is that they are about the same guy.

Sale is just on autopilot.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 13, 2016 -> 07:57 PM) The earliest we bring up Anderson is in July IMO. Unless there is an injury I would even say September or the very end of August if he stays hot.

This is a nice bounceback for a team on a two game losing streak, plus having burnt toast of a bullpen from the trip to Texas. The day off, plus Chris Sale cruising tonight should have the pen back at full strength again tomorrow.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 13, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) Don't you automatically qualify for a pension once you play a major league game? Am could totally be wrong on that but I know the MLB union negotiated a really great deal when it comes to that. I think that is the NFL. MLB is something like a month IIRC.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 13, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) For what it would take to get Trout, I don't think it'd be worth it for anyone to trade for him. Especially when you start looking at all of those $30 million seasons coming up. Not only do you have to pay the guy, but you'd also have to find guys to fill all of the holes you would create to get him.
