Not bad for a statue

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) Errors coming into today: Tampa Bay: 7 (best in AL) White Sox: 17 (middle of the pack, which is a huge improvement from last year all things considered). are you watching this game? Spring Training must have been one giant kegger for them.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 02:58 PM) Tampa bay with a case of the '13 whitesox They clearly are not coached well. Good thing Martinez didn't get the Sox job.

If the Sox play like this, Ventura is not qualified. Maddon must be a buffoon.

Beckham has hit the ball hard 5 times in a row

If the Sox thought Johnson was hurt they would send him to a doctor not Charlotte.

QUOTE (jhonnydanks @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) Yessir! Hoping to gain some consideration for that closer role. I got the lefty thing down, the 95mph part not so much. The way this season is going they may ask you to throw out the actual first pitch.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 12:33 AM) We have, for the next turn in the rotation: Q-Danks-Rienzo-Carroll Options for spot 5: Axelrod Surkamp Noesi? Webb? Petricka? FWIW, Chris Beck has been dreadful in AA and is almost definitely not an option Surkamp has given 42 hits in 24 innings. He shouldn't be an option.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 09:41 PM) Or Noesi can start spot starting and going as the long man in order to build up his pitch counts. Like Paulino, Noesi was up at 95-97 when he was facing us with the Rangers, maybe they're getting him to throttle back on the velocity and go more for movement or two-seamers/sinkers, as he was 91-93 MPH today. Otherwise, Petricka's the only other option, but I think the Sox are more or less convinced his future lies in the bullpen, rather than a return to starting. And then there's Rienzo, too, who's also more of a long man based on the lack of dominating stuff and an out pitch. I was at the game it was 35 degrees. It was probably one reason the pitchers were a little low in velocity. As for Noesi, he got through an inning plus, but it was only because of the weather. Unless something else happens with this adjustment, he isn't long for 35th and Shields.

It could be Hanson next. I am surprised posters aren't up in arms over this move. Carroll is a non prospect and people here have been saying the White Sox are using this as a throwaway season. If that is the case, don't you leave a guy like Johnson in the rotation and let him take his lumps? I guess the biggest problem with that is the trickle down. The bullpen gets worn. It does prove one thing. The White Sox didn't have too many starters. No team ever does.

That has to be a record

Downs time

Noesi isn't fooling anyone. 2 out of 3 would have been gone if it wasnt 35 degrees and Longoria was just underneath it.

Maddon takes his pitcher pitching a gem out after 85 pitches because a mascot was next. He should be fired.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 07:47 PM) Um, what? Nieto is an automatic out. Might as well make it productive

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 07:45 PM) Zomg dick allen My boys are 4-4 tonight.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) progression to the mean Shocking. I thought for sure he and Beckham would never get another hit.

Paulie up to .280

Haters gonna hate

Coop must be emphasizing the leadoff walk this year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 03:42 PM) Marge Schott could be a similar scenario perhaps? The full suspension of all management rights? That is the first name that came to my mind. They made her sell.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 05:12 PM) I would send Jordan Danks down. With Gillaspie DL'd, I think Jordan is safe for now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) Why? For tomorrow's starting pitcher.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 01:33 PM) I don't recall 99 percent of this board doubting Abreu, even in his bad streak. The Johnson stuff in the game thread was ridiculous though Not Abreu specifically. There are very few White Sox that ever make it through a couple of years on this board without a decent amount of posters saying they have to go. It will eventually happen to Abreu.
