Dick Allen

Offense...fail defense...fail pitching...fail coaching...fail managing....fail roster construction........fail.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) To add to that and if IIRC, opening day 2005 cleveland blew the sox out. Buehrle gave up 8 in 2 innings i think. 2007. Grady Sizemore hit Contreras' first pitch into the stands. The White Sox never recovered all season long.

QUOTE (AlSoxfan @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) I think he was just pitching inside to reclaim the outside of the plate. If he he him oh well shucks, get off the plate or get hit again. And Cain sort of turned into it.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 09:53 AM) Then hit Moustakas next time you face him. Part of the problem with doing that is when they call you in to see if it was intentional, it's a little harder to say no. This works fine. No need to get suspended, and the Royals might not act like they won the WS after hitting a homer to make a 3-0 game 4-0.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 09:15 AM) Why weren't there this many complaints about the missed shot clock violation late against Kentucky? The refs weren't the best, but Duke played better down the stretch and earned the victory. Dekker was 0-6 from behind the arc, WI needed a couple of those to win, it didn't happen. If they played again today, might be a different story. The problem is for the National Championship game, the refs should be the best. If that is the best they have, officiating is a huge problem that needs to be addressed.

Bucky got hosed. Bo Ryan bugs me, but he was correct. That game was officiated like Wisconsin was playing a Big 10 road game. Brutal. Maybe Duke still wins if the officiating is neutral, but that's a pretty big maybe.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:35 PM) This is one of those what can go wrong will go wrong games True.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:34 PM) Kiss your mlb career goodbye Kyle On the bright side, this is a good time to let him stink up the joint.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:33 PM) How do people think that was Micah's fault? lol This game is s***. Watch the replay. He went past the ball.

Kyle Drabek is not a major league pitcher.

Micah overran it.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:24 PM) And of course Robin wants the lefty lefty as if he has hasn't read about Jennings effectiveness with righties. It was a slow hit grounder where a play shoukd have been made.

f*** Flowers, f*** Robin f*** Danks f*** Beckham

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) Sharks final line. 6 IP 6 H 4 R 4 ER 3 BB 1 SO. Not final yet.

Saw that coming.have to be a little wiser Micah.

An Opening Day fight would be nice.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:39 PM) If you didn't like what he did, hit him the next time he's up. Don't hit the next batter. He might not be in the game next time around. This is just as effective. Act like an ass, get your teammate hit.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) I did tell Dick Allen noone was going to touch Flowers as the whipping boy here. I am just surprised the Ventura bashing hasn't commenced.

Rios hasn't changed.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) 3 innings into the first game of the season. Bandwagon already emptying. It's over. Hahn should back up the truck.

JSINAA

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) De Aza hit a home run He hit 2 last year on Opening Day.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) Hasn't LaRoche really declined defensively the last few years? Probably, but he probably still is better than Abrue with the glove.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) I'm confused, isn't LaRoche a former multi-Gold Glove winner? Shouldn't he be playing first most of the time? They don't wan't Abreu to become a full time DH at his current age, so while it seems they would be better off defensively if LaRoche played more, long-term, it's probably better Abreu gets more time in the field.
