1 for 11, 6 K's to start the season. Hey, didn't we have a lefty 1B/DH last year, that could already do this? Granted, the 2015 version is a bit cheaper, though not by much.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) 8 of the 9 players in KC's lineup with a .300 or higher average right now. Impressive, maybe they should turn the computer settings up to a higher level. Infante must be thinking "Who must I have pissed off, to not be able to hit the same staff that the rest of my team is destroying?"

Didn't get a hit when we needed him to, but at least he makes an error to allow a base runner, too!

Fundamental baseball on offense....so THAT is what it looks like. I had just about forgotten.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) Even if he doesn't get a complete game, were in the Herrera/Davis/holland part of the pen now Yep, we let him get the game to the Royals 'pen, so a nice 0-3 start looking squarely at this team.

Embarrassing effort, considering Danks has given up just the 1 run. Volquez could pitch a 90 pitch CG SO at this rate.

46 pitches through 5 IP for Volquez...REALLY making him work out there.

5 innings, 100+ pitches, 9 hits and 5 earned runs. Very impressive.

Ole 20 pitches per inning Q, good to see you again.

Well if it wasn't over before...

Solid Defense there.

Wish I could remember where I did that Adam Dunn countdown timer last year,it was way better than this one.

Tyler Flowers...I think it's time for a countdown signature for Flower's departure, as well...

I venture to say, it's a safe bet to think once Tyler Flowers is out of the ChiSox organization, he will be out of the MLB completely.

1 run surrendered.....season over.

Tyler Flowers. Delivers....rarely.

Samardzija...I haven't really watched much ST, but has he been pretty tough to watch, the entire month? Yeah, it's Spring Training, blah blah...but by this point of the month, it should be more about getting into your normal rhythm, and not experimenting, etc...

Debating the value of Scott Carroll.....spring training can't end fast enough...

Avi smashed that ball, sounded great off the bat. 4-0 good guys.

I cringe everytime I see Avisail slide, now...

*Watches Beckham pop out* Ohh.....NOW I remember Gordon Beckham!!

No.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) We're not counting the Big 10 as a power conference, are we? Unfortunately, for this year, we are. Hard to believe how bad it is, so far.

Anyone not in the Power 5 is going to have a serious uphill battle, to get into the Playoffs. Right or wrong, that is just how it is. They'd have to have some serious OOC wins, over teams from the big conferences. The system, including the stupid early season Polls, are built to accommodate the big conferences.

Who cares about the rankings in the middle of September? Win the games ahead of you, and you'll be where you should be, in the end. That is, of course, unless you're playing nobody and winning.
