If Drabek threw 97 like he did in HS, he may be someone you must keep around to see if you can make something out of him. But 27 year olds who throw 91 with little control have very small upside. I think there is an excellent chance he clears waivers and goes to Charlotte, but if not, I can't imagine Hahn losing any sleep over it.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) yeah, it is, damn it. 21 IP, 0 runs, 0.55 WHIP. very impressive. When these guys have surprising starts for other teams, just remember 1999 John Snyder with the White Sox. On May 15, he was 6-1 with a 2.00 ERA. He finished 9-12 with a 6.68 ERA.

When hitting into the shift, is that ruled 5-3? If it is that doesn't make sense to me. He is technically playing 2B isn't he?

Crazy route, but it could be the wind.

Last outing Q went 6 innings 0 ER and 3 hits. He had bad stretches before. Look at June last year. No need to panic.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) Maybe due to rain? I don't recall what he did in the rain last year besides not smile. Ding. Ding. I think the rain is the call

Where the f*** is the pitching coach?

The good news is that he is getting to 0-2. If he keeps doing that, he will be fine.

90 mph fastball right down the middle whiffs Cabrera.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) Eaton has been terrible this season. Hope the contract has not made him too comfortable. I think the opposite. I think he is trying to be worth $25 million every game.

I thiught Eaton might tag up on Melky's routine fly to relatively deep CF. Davis threw a flyball back to the infield. But that last one, it is hard to understand.

Eaton WTF?

Pretty ominus sign when they have the lights on during a bright sunshine.

I think LaRoche has homered both games he played 1B. Hopefully he can get used to DHing.

Thomas, Aparicio, Fisk, Paulie with Nyls Nyman and Harry Chapas honorable mentions.

When Rose is penetrating, he still looks like a HOFer. And thank God Pau can at least block shots. If he couldn't, he would make Boozer look like a lockdown defender.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 03:10 PM) Do we think they'll be able to get him through waivers? If they don't, who cares?

QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) So when do Petricka/Crain come back? Drabek es no bueno.. Petricka maybe in the next few days. Crain I am guessing, never.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 02:56 PM) Drabek can't even successfully eat innings in a 10 run game... The wind helped save him 3 runs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 01:47 PM) Standing ovation for Bryant after he draws a walk Broken bat flare single to center and Wrigley looks like USCF after the Konerko grand slam in the 2005 WS. I think Bryant is going to be great offensively, but it os already beyond annoying.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) With Trout hitting his 100th and 101st homers last night, I decided to review this ancient thread: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...=72142&st=0 That one pick would have been franchise changing. The thing that stings is they were linked to him.

Hawk mentioning,Scott,Ruffcorn. It was a little off as he made 3 appearances in 1993 before makimg the start mentioned agaimst Cleveland in 1994. He gave up 7 runs in 4 innings. Fun fact: Scott Ruffcorn appeared in 30 games in the major leagues. His team's record in those games is 0-30.

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) Well, good game guys, see you tomorrow. Oops

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 01:33 PM) Conor really is clueless against LHP. Tell us more.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 01:20 PM) I think that was a flop by Adam He told Robin it hit him. It probably caught a little of the hand and knob.
