Seeing a lot of bad plays here. The youth is showing.

They have 4 or 5 guys at Charlotte who will be in the Sox bullpen at some point.

I am sure everyone is hoping for some free baseball, I just hope when the Sox pull this one out Ricky’s boys will not quit won’t be used.

Soria is awesome.

Why does Farquhar pitch every game?

Sergio fired a 13 on the par 5 15th hole. His title defense is OVA

Yankees tried to get Trayce Thompson to AAA, but Oakland claimed him. I really am surprised the Sox have no interest. I would claim him, DFA Saladino, make Leury the primary INF back up, give Trayce some ABs, if he hits great, if not, no one will claim him, you can drop him to AAA. You might not even have to DFA Saladino. He may have an option left.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 12:36 AM) that what I thought too when they flashed his numbers after he came out. How the hell did he get charged with 3 runs? Yes, it wasn't Engel being charged with an error, which should happen. Pierce singled and scored vs. Bummer and somehow the scorer charged Fulmer. It appears they need a new scorer in Toronto.

QUOTE (soxfan18 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 07:30 AM) Do people here really have no sense of how expensive retractable roofs are? Maybe they could buy a used one cheap.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 08:45 PM) No way Nicky makes that catch there. Great job by Leury Engel might have had it if Delmonico was in LF. At least he would have been the only hope.

What date is Ron’s annual Abreu is trash thread scheduled?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 08:19 PM) White Sox org relief pitchers by projected FIP (per ZiPS): Joakim Soria - 3.19 Nate Jones - 3.71 Xavier Cedeno - 3.79 Gregory Infante - 3.81 Juan Minaya - 3.81 Luis Avilan - 3.89 Robbie Ross - 4.15 Thyago Vieira - 4.16 Bruce Rondon - 4.18 Jeanmar Gomez - 4.26 Rob Scahill - 4.41 Jace Fry - 4.41 Danny Farquahar - 4.53 Aaron Bummer - 5.01 Hector Santiago - 5.79 bold = in AAA Some bizarre roster choices. Probably but they will all be up at some time this year. Unless of course they suck so bad or get hurt in the minors.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 08:08 PM) May be time to pull the plug on engel .... I am surprised they didn’t claim Trayce Thompson,. They must really like Cordell

The Sox bullpen is brutal.

Herm out. They are going to honor him tomorrow. 40 years with the White Sox.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 07:29 PM) Looked like ball hit behind glove. I think it’s a single It really should be a double. But ai don’t know how they rule it.

He would have been fine if he just took off when he did. He doesn’t have to wait for him to quit juggling the ball. But it hit the wall.

WTF

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 07:15 PM) This is a really exciting outing by Carson. I don’t remember last game I saw of his where his breaking stuff played for strikes. Like Giolito, even when he was getting by last year it was mostly off of fastball/changeup. I agree. He should have a shutout right now. His pitches are really moving.

I can’t believe Engel didn’t get an error,

Geddy Lee is taking in the game again.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 01:40 PM) The deadtime in the game of baseball creates a whole lot more space to fill. People complain about things like Hawks Catfish and Yaz stories, but there is always going to be something to fill that time. For Jason and Steve it seems to be strange conversations about whatever weird topic that comes up. To be honest give me another Catfish story over another joke about Stone being cheap and never paying for anything. And then Stone says Jason pays for nothing. It goes on and on and on, and it gets old. A little silence is also OK. It's TV not radio. And I don't think it is all Jason's fault. Steve has been a willing participant and tries to come up with lines that just hurt. They do come up with some witty things every game, but it's like a guy who hits 10 3 pointers. No big deal when you take 100 shots. I prefer the guy who goes 3 for 4 or 2 for 3. I think it will get better. Every broadcast team except for the Blackhawks has a ton of critics.

QUOTE (SoxFan2003 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 01:15 PM) I think bad press was the wrong choice of words. I'm not sure anyone outside of Sox fans talked about it at all. All I really meant was that the people I know who were at the game, and the people on this message board were in agreement that everything about how last year was handled was terrible. As someone else said, I'm not stepping foot into the ballpark tomorrow until I know there will be at least an attempt at baseball being played. I doubt they change their ways. They have been doing the same thing for years. I once sat through a "rain delay" for 2 1/2 hours, when it didn't rain at all. There would have been no problem getting an official game in. Then it rained and they called it 5 minutes after it started raining. It's one reason I will never sit through rain delays anymore. I go to enough games I don't need that crap. If the tarp goes on, I'm bailing.

QUOTE (Sarava @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 11:51 AM) The reason this wont happen is not because of the potential visiting northern teams. They'd all be for it. Playing on the road isn't that hard where you would normally only win 4 of 12 games. What would stop it is the dome and southern teams. As much as it's more playable in their ballparks. They all sell tickets better in the summer and they simply won't give up their summer dates to accommodate northern teams in March or April. One thing they could do is forget the game vs. Charlotte on Monday before the season starts. If the last spring training game is on Sunday, Sunday night, fly the team to Chicago. Let them all get situated and fly to the next city Wednesday night. Hold a workout if you can on Monday and/or Tuesday at your home park. This year, they went to Charlotte, then went to KC on Monday night and stayed there a week. Even if they played the first 4 series on the road, it would only be another 3 days or so of hotels.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 12:38 PM) I think announcers would take a line like this anyday. As long as you overall like the duo ... there always will be some gripes. When Jason is not with Stone, usually on other sports, he doesn't try to be as cute, and he is really good. I think eventually they will cut it down a bit. I'm hoping sooner rather than later.
