Good morning, good afternoon, and good night to Saladino.

Yeah runs!

Nice start. Now let's get him in.

Didn't see it, but DJ and Farmer said that his foot didn't get to the base.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) It was me but it was just a question to those who wanted to run Flowers out of town, not that I preferred one or the other Avila and Navarro both bring more of a total package than Flowers does. Even with their crappy start, we will be better off this year behind the plate.

And to whoever brought up Tyler Flowers, there you go.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) Don't believe passed balls and wild pitches goes under "E." Passed Balls and Wild pitches are their own stats.

Nice throw by Avila.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:09 PM) Really? If you are thrown out stretching a single it raises your OBP? And I was right on the dropped 3rd strike, it's an error. The Angels do not have an error on the board.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:09 PM) Really? If you are thrown out stretching a single it raises your OBP? And I was right on the dropped 3rd strike, it's an error. Yes, because you still got a hit. That isn't taken away from you. As a batter, you still get a strikeout.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:05 PM) Does getting to first on a dropped third strike raise your OBP? No. It is an out, reached on fielders choice.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) Independents shouldn't have any right to vote for a party's nominee. I echo all the previous sentiments posted by Tex/SS2K etc Each party gets to make its own rules, but honestly it is pretty stupid to have one state where you can declare the day of the election, and another where you have to give six months of advanced notice. If this were being done in Republican state, people would be screaming about vote suppression.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) This is definitively false. Garcia has elite speed. Sanchez has played in a 148 games in the MLB. That's basically a typical full season sample. He has 3 SBs and 3 CSs in his career in the bigs. Garcia, who doesn't even fulfill all of his base stealing potential, has stolen 191 bags in minors and is 19/22 as a big leaguer. Yeah, Garcia has 75 to 80 speed. Sanchez is above average, but no where near that. Probably 60 to 65.

At this point are the catchers even hitting .200 combined? Geesh.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:41 PM) This is something he said he's been working on. It was mentioned as a goal going into spring training.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) Who/what does Thibs trade for Jimmy? That is such a perfect fit. The question is could the two GMs put aside ego to get a deal done. My guess is no.

Very nice inning for Sale.

Sweet play by Frazier.

QUOTE (SoxSteve @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:09 PM) Markaikas name should be on any list for us. Perfect 2 hole hitter with a ton of doubles and high OBP and not alot of strikeouts. Put him in left and move Cabrera to DH and get rid of Avi. Should have been done in the offseason. He will be traded for sure seeing he's the last of Atlanta high prices players. No brainer to me Eh. He is off to an unsustainable start, and hasn't been very good for a number of years now. He hasn't had a positive defensive number for almost a decade. He'd be a marginal improvement, but the guy is still owed $22 million.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:08 PM) So glad I didn't follow prospects closely back then. Not sure I could have handled having two prospects like Rauch and Borchard bomb so badly. The shoulder injury is what really cost Rauch.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:49 PM) He's sitting him because he's bad. Ventura said today that it's about production at this point with Garcia. No more time for development or something along those lines. They basically replaced Garcia this offseason by turning him into a DH that would only play vs LHP. They know he's bad. Won't be much longer. Just remember everytime you see Avi flailing away, you have Adam LaRoche to thank for that.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Avi was replaced by Austin Jackson. LaRoche retiring helped get him back in the lineup everyday. Now he needs to be replaced again. Bingo.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) What was the gun saying about Latos on TV last night? The park had his fastball at 91 or 92, usually 92 all night. He got up as high as 95, but was between 87 and 92 almost all night.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) Hamilton to stay on $10; Tubman replacing Jackson Wonder how much that Hamilton play influenced this change? Originally, Hamilton was supposed to be gone and Andrew "Trail of Tears" Jackson was to remain on the $20. Jackson was also anti-national bank, so it is appropriate that it be him taken off of our currency.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Marc SteinVerified account ‏@ESPNSteinLine NBA sources say Tom Thibodeau is closing in on a five-year pact in the $10 million range annually to become coach/president of the Wolves. Rooting for him. it will be really interesting to see how he responds to full control. He has the type of personality that is cumbersome, so it will be interesting to see what happens if things go south
