MLB Stat of the Day ‏@MLBStatoftheDay 40m Jose Abreu’s three multi-homer games – through his first 24 contests – are the most for any player since 1914.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 09:48 AM) Video from the Rays broadcast of walk-off. Shows Balfour's reaction in the dugout. http://m.mlb.com/video/v32386367/tbcws-ray...-slam/?c_id=mlb Tampa did better camera work than the Chicago feed did.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 02:27 PM) So going off of the idea that the White Sox see something to fix in Noesi... Career he has a 5.81 era. Vs the Sox he has a 19.41 era, or 23 ER in 10.2 IP. Take away his outings against the Sox and his career ERA drops to 5.03. The closest ERA to what he has put up against the Sox in any team he has pitched more than 10 innings against is 12.26 lower. With that big of an ERA against 1 team, and the fact that team claimed him, does it mean Sox see a tell in Noesi's delivery? QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 07:34 AM) This article says Noesi will be on the 25 on Saturday and the Sox see 2 specific things of things want to work on with him. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/...sox-on-saturday Nailed it.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 08:34 AM) Lindstrom is just a heart attack each time he's out there. I think in 10 outings he's got 3 blown saves, a loss (should be 2) and in other outings has just gotten plain lucky. (Detroit game where Abreu caught that hard line out to save the game due to positioning) Who's closing in Charlotte these days? One of those BS's is a joke.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 12:09 AM) ESPN stating first Sox walk off slam when trailing since Ventura in 1991 Wow. That is one of my all-time favorite baseball memories. That was off of Goose Gossage.

That was one of the worst minutes of basketball I have seen in a while. Both teams got a major case of the stupids. Most high school teams can close out games better than that.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 11:19 PM) That pitch was a meatball. Paulie with the fire may have got Balfour too wound up. Balfour seemed to come unraveled after that.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 11:19 PM) Walk off opposite field grandslam, who the f*** does that?!? Wow. The Ball Buster, that is who.

Jose Abreu is just disgusting. My word that man is strong and clutch. Suck it Grant Balfour. Don't f*** with Paul Konerko.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 04:38 PM) If it's between Rodon and only signing first 5 picks or a lesser prospect and being able to sign everyone...give me Rodon and top 5 picks signed in a heartbeat. For a team with as much of a lack of depth as teh White Sox have, that would be a complete disaster.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 29m LRT, Conor Gillaspie isn't in lineup nor is he listed as available. #WhiteSox

Tampa is in much the same pitching situation as us. Marc Topkin ‏@TBTimes_Rays 24m Over last 10 games, #Rays starters have thrown 48.2 innings, relievers 44.1 innings

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) They already sent out a pitcher when they replaced Leesman with Beckham right? So they're already down a pitcher? Yes, so that could set up a Gillaspie for Noesi trade out, or someone like Putnam.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) Hopefully he got out of it. Down over 50% to .22 cents today. Those kind of stocks can crash fast. And OSLH is down to 5 cents.

Very interesting.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) No Gillaspie in the lineup, or on the available players list. Did the SOX DL him? I get the feeling we will find out soon. Sox have to make a roster move with the claim of Noesi. Though I would imagine a pitcher would go with this claim.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) Yogi arrested on campus for same thing as Darius. Sounds like they tried to use fake IDs at a bar on Little 5 weekend. Brilliant.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) But a lot of the list for Cooper wasn't really reclamation except the names I mentioned. Dye and Thome and Konerko were reclimations as much as most of the Cooper list. Cooper doesn't get scrutinized for guys failing nearly as much as the Sox hitting coaches or manager have. That's just a fact. If Darin Erstad is horrible and Andy Gonzalez doesn't hack it in the 3 spot, Walker was an idiot. If the Sox botch a rundown, Ventura hasn't shown them the proper way. If the bullpen walks 5 out of 6 batters, the pitchers just suck. Several guys weren't so good with the White Sox but had pitching success later elsewhere. Other than Nick Swisher, I don't think there is any White Sox who had far more success offensively after sucking it up with the White Sox. Of course, many of the White Sox hitters were veterans who were either done or nearing the end of the line, but no one was able to "fix" the other guys. Repeat something enough times and it just bound to become truth. Getting past the weird Cooper obsession, Don Cooper has a reputation as one of the best pitching coaches in all of baseball. Period. This isn't a Soxtalk thing like you want to make it into. Who Soxtalk would have picked to be in the rotation in 2005, or whatever other non sequitur you want to throw at the wall is irrelevant.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 02:41 PM) Frank Thomas, Magglio Ordonez, Carlos Lee, Aaron Rowand, Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko, Jim Thome, Joe Crede...... Just some names Greg Walker coached. According to most here, he was turrible. [shakes fist at radio]

Eaton is back at the top of the order today. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/4597774...8881152/photo/1

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) And many of those names how do you give Cooper all the success? Even Contreras, who during 2005 Soxtalk wanted gone for AJ Burnett. There was a story that El Duque told Contreras he needed to attack hitters like he did in Cuba, and that is what got him going. The Coop will fix 'em is something that really is overblown. He did "fix" Thornton. It was done in one side session. You definitely have to give him a lot of credit for Loaisa, but that didn't last long. Floyd was a top 5 pick and pretty frustrating most of his White Sox career. Maybe he did something with Quintana. But other than that, there is nothing earthshattering here. I'm sure he's a good pitching coach, but some think he walks on water and does no wrong. The White Sox spent a lot more money per player on pitching than on offense during the past decade. The guys they didn't pay were just as bad as the guys that aren't paid on other teams. Don Cooper kicked your dog. Admit it.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) True though it's hard to blame Cooper for not keep pulling miracles put of his ass. Dylan Axelrod being anything close to competent for any length of time was pretty close though. Donnie Veal two years ago was pretty impressive too. 2012 Jake Peavy is also worth mentioning as he hadn't been that good for half of a decade.

So going off of the idea that the White Sox see something to fix in Noesi... Career he has a 5.81 era. Vs the Sox he has a 19.41 era, or 23 ER in 10.2 IP. Take away his outings against the Sox and his career ERA drops to 5.03. The closest ERA to what he has put up against the Sox in any team he has pitched more than 10 innings against is 12.26 lower.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 02:04 PM) He was at 3 BB/9 last year. He's really not that wild. There are times it gets away from him, but guys that throw 97 have that happen to them now and then. 2013 Addison Reed 2.9 BB/9

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 01:33 PM) Jackson was alright with us. Do you mean Liriano? but to answer your question, Matt Thorton, Gavin Floyd, Estefan Loaiza, and Jose Contreras come to mind. I'm sure there's more. It is also missing on guys that came through the system and succeeded.
