Speaking of Bassitt, what is he dealing with? He intrigues me a bit more than Beck at this point.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:22 PM) Forgive me, what's FIP? I actually have no clue but I see it talked about quite a bit....Perhaps feeky or someone can explain.

Matty Ice era down to 3.00. His FIP (Whatever that it, I just wanna feel cool) is 3.08....Much lower than Daniel Webbs 4.48.

That would have just been the 5th HR given up in the last 134 innings for Lindstrom....He'll give up his share of hits and walk some folks but dude doesn't give up the long ball.

Refresh my memory, how did Lindstrom get a blow save in Boston? His line reads 2 innings, 1 hit, no runs, no walks.

Do away with replay!!

Terrelle Pryor is about to be released.....If he's willing to take a backup job I'd be all about the Bears bringing him in to be the backup.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 05:15 PM) It's like that Rockies game all over again. No wonder Noesi got DFA'd. He's terrible. I swear someone on here loved him, can't remember who.

Isn't there someone on the board who REALLY wanted the sox to trade for Noesi??? Believe he's formally of the Seaman...

People are always saying we need a long man right?

*Chuckle chuckle* Paulino gonna get another start?

Bad luck De Aza continues.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) I think there's a difference about enjoying a player you know who's going to be good vs. enjoying a player who you know is going to regress in the near future. I don't like getting my hopes up. To each their own I guess. No need to take over the game thread with these talks.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) Uh, the first mention of it in this thread was followed by a face It's just been growing inside of me, and too many mimosas are bringing it out. QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:53 PM) I want Flowers to succeed as a player. But when I look at it objectively, I still don't think very highly of him, even when he's almost hitting .400 this year. I guess I just don't care to look into the future. I choose to enjoy Tyler and Dunn hitting .300+ right now even though I know(even without advanced stats) it's not gonna last.....I understand fangraphs, but it seems to take a bit of fun out of the game.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) It's not annoying, it's just the law of averages. Over the course of 2000 some plate appearances, no hitters are going to have half of their balls in play turn into hits. Many would be extremely lucky to have 35% of those fall. It's just not plausible to have half of them turn into hits. Flowers isn't going to have a .567 BABIP for the rest of the year. What he's doing now just isn't sustainable. There's nothing annoying about it, it's just reality. It's annoying in the context of the way it's being presented. It's as if we shouldn't care that our guy just got on base because advanced stats says it's not gonna last forever.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:40 PM) Hit is a hit. This, I'm finding this BABIP stat highly annoying.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:30 PM) This offense has been so bad since the start of the Boston series. Since someone made the "First Place White Sox!!" thread...jinxed ass thread

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2014 -> 09:02 PM) Can we EVER get a clutch 2 out f***ing hit they seemed to consistently get clutch hits the first week or 2...Lately? not so much.

lulz.. Pacers down 20 with 5 min to go

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 19, 2014 -> 11:36 AM) I'll take my chances with Jimenez. Ah yes, the guy who has given up 13 runs and walked 10 in his first 3 starts. Paulino gave up 13 and 9 in his first 3 starts.....Could you imagine the meltdown here?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 19, 2014 -> 10:29 AM) Where's the we have 7 starters crowd? We still have two weeks left in April and we're down to 4. Meh, it's all hindsight. They obviously liked Paulino for whatever reason, and last year Rienzo had 3 quality starts in his 5 ML starts....not sure who the 7th one you're referring to is...Beck? He's, if we're lucky a few months away.

I was one of the guys that thought he could be good. I kept throwing out the fact that over his past 160 odd innings as a starter he had 1 real bad start, then in the other 155 some odd innings he had an era below 3.5. I thought that was a legit reason to be optimistic, and some legit evidence of a guy with a good arm finally putting it together......boy was I apparently really, really wrong.

Is Leury available today?? I'd throw him out there again, f*** it. Already gave up when you let Paulino take it on the chin.

Can we just make Webb a starter again? EDIT- Not sure if green.

How has Rienzo looked so far in the minors?
