Dick Allen

Perkins looks like Buehrle.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 2, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) So do people think Rodon will get the spot start when our guys serve theur suspensions? I think it will be Carroll personally. Rodon I think goes back down to get stretched out when Guerra and Albers are back. Lots of overreaction in this thread. I think he will, and then replace Noesi assumimg no injuries.

Hit it pretty well but not good enough.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) Unless they've changed the rules, foul balls can't be home runs. I don't even think they come into play (pun) in sabermetrics.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:53 PM) YOU MUST HAVE MISSED THE HOME RUN THAT WENT INCHES FOUL. Jesus. They don't give you runs on fouls balls. But if it gives you something to b**** about......

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) The Twins must have the greatest hitters in the world then, cause they are having no problems squaring up and teeing off. I know the eye test doesn't matter, but the eye test tells me he's got pedestrian stuff today. He hasn't given up any runs. Gave up a couple inherited, one on a soft liner to RF, another on a SF.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:46 PM) are you watching the same game in the same universe as we are? That was some of the worst stuff he's ever brought out. No command, flat slider for the most part, NO CHANGEUP and his fastball spotting at 94 just to grab a strike. Goodness man wtf are your eyes seeing? LMAO. No question his command was off, and his control was a problem early. If the sliders he threw Mauer even looked liked a possibke strike, he was struck out. But for pure stuff, it was really good. My eyes see good stuff. Good stuff doesn't equal good results.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:43 PM) His stuff looks pedestrian, you must agree with that. He has to go down and start starting. He is throwing 94-98 with an 89-91 slider. Stuff isn't his problem. It is pretty spectacular.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) they are going to ruin this kid. No they are not. He doesn't pitch back to backs, and they keep him stretched out for when he joins the rotation which could happen soom with the suspensions.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 2, 2015 -> 02:48 PM) More stellar defense. Wrong.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 2, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) Maybe inconclusive so they called him out? Probably. When it takes that long, inconclusive is usually the reason.

This long usually means bad news

Nice move Jose

The Sox are goimg to need a few more. They are hitting the ball hard.

Shuck showing why he lead off.

I love ya Hawk , but it really isn't the umpires' fault.

The Sox have been wearing the black tops a lot.doesn't seem to bring them luck.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 1, 2015 -> 02:23 PM) That would actually be good to know. I guess no media outlet wants to go there. Also, what are the odds of them getting a fair trial? And I am not saying that to side with them. If they are guilty, they deserve prison.

Are the 6 cops charged all white?

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 1, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) Man. 2008 was such a special year. Crazy that he has walked away from it all at 32. He can barely walk, and even if that ever improves, he will just get hurt again. What is weird is I don't think he missed much time, if any, as a result of HBP, something he did more than most.

Guys who are nothing but headaches in college, usually don't get any better in that regard when they have a couple of million to play with.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2015 -> 01:16 PM) Then you will feel superior so you can judge them, too? In Singapore, they have a normal intl airport and a "budget" one without all the restaurants and frills for those travelling on the equivalent of SW Airlines (Air Asia and similar carriers). Maybe if they call out those fans for being cheap charlies, they will either upgrade or not bother showing up at all for the lowest price possible to hoard all your giveaway items. Yeah, a sense of superiority. I won't take the bait.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 1, 2015 -> 11:54 AM) I cant seem to find this anywhere. The only thing close Ive found is: 6. The lack of trades last night was surprising, given all the talk. Problem was there were more who wanted to move down than up. So that seems to suggest some wanted to move up. The market may not have been amazing, but still I cant imagine that the Chargers wouldnt have been interested in trading up and getting whatever RB they wanted. Now who knows what the value was, but itd be impossible to imagine they wouldnt have offered 1,4,5 for it (which is what they gave San Fran). Pompei was on CSN about an hour before the draft and someone suggested to him the Bears trade down. He said the Bears could be up for it, but no one was looking to trade up to pick 7.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 1, 2015 -> 11:00 AM) Of course. Which is why I consistently said the Bears should trade down and accumulate picks. Dan Pompei said they were getting no offers.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 1, 2015 -> 10:47 AM) The Cavs are going to be fairly thin at the 2 spot and 4 spot for the first two games. They're going to have to play either LeBron or Marion at the 4 when Thompson's not playing. Jimmy and DRose have to be on. Taj has to be better. One problem other than Irving and LeBron, Mosgov is a really bad match up for Pau. I'm hoping the layoff actually hurts the Cavs.
