Dick Allen

I have the same attitude towards Yolmer and I know it isn't fair. It isn't like he is horrible. He is average, sometimes slightly above and many times, slightly below. It's just what he represents that sours me. He is considered a White Sox developmental success story, and he is at best average. I get he dumps water on himself, but any other team, he's just some guy with a good sense of humor. The other thing he now represents is Machado failure. So every time he steps up, I am reminded how the Sox couldn't afford to build a winner when JR is 92 or 93 so they had to come in second for Machado.

Dusty Baker, Mike Matheny, Mike Scoscia, and Joe Maddon were all managing when he was hired, and although none are Latin, they all speak Spanish fluently.

Palka has always had that flash in the pan vibe to me, and that flash was home runs in very meaningless games. He can hit it a long way and hard, but I doubt he ever duplicates what he did last year. It's worth a shot to see considering the White Sox current position, but chances are he is a guy who shows you why he was waived in the first place.

Sloppy play and poor fundamentals are also a sign of bad players. I am not a Renteria fan, but other than bunting, and some of his bullpen use, I don't see how he's at fault for badness like when guys air mail a throw to a wrong base.

Where did you come up with this?

He already had TJ surgery the other way.

You can't trust it, but perhaps the new motion gives reason for more optimism than usual.

Law has been invested in Gio for longer than Gio has been a White Sox. There were more than a couple of good things yesterday. Hopefully, he can keep it up.

It was a nice game for a change,

I don’t know. It was Billy Hamilton. The ball wasnt exactly smoked. Decent chance Abreu makes the play. A left handed firsbaseman might have had a problem.

Yost is giving Eloy a fereebie here.

So am I.

Gio has dominated KC during his career. That said, there are some things to be happier about with him. Outside of the first hitter, his command seems better. He is missing more bats,He is throwing harder, and he isn’t just giving the runner a free base anymore.

Good comeback.

Not a promising start,

Are the White Sox going to wear their black tops every game again this year?

Hahn let Kevan Smith AND Matt Davidson go for nothing. No wonder they are 0-2.

I would be surprised if Davidson isn’t closimg the All Star game this year. I find it hard to believe the Rangers sent him to the minors. More idiots. This guy is great. How come MLB execs can’t see it?

You had to figure a slow start with Jon Jay injured. Maybe Gio will pitch well today and the Sox offense will look good, and everyone can overact the other way. Last year after 2 games, the Sox actually thought there was a possibility their rebuild was a lot farther along than they thought. Davidson was an MVP... They are obviously going to suck, but I wouldn’t make any conclusions on individual players after 2 games.

It’s only 2 games, but they certainly don’t look major league in any way.

Coop will fix ‘em

Kevan Smith would have blocked it.

He is missing his spots, but the cold could have something to do with it.

Quit making ecueses Steve. That plai is made in high school every day.

What a ream.
