My lord does a good bullpen make a manager look good. That bullpen is utter filth right now.

I am almost forgetting how much I used to hate him.

My guess is Willy Garcia

It really is mind boggling how this organization neglects defense especially at first base. Abreu is a garden gnome over there. When Dunn got here he should have played first over Konerko althoguh that one make some sense out of respect to Konerko, same thing with LaRoche, guy was a gold glove first baseman that they never put out there. Abreu should never play the field.

That was a wasted opportunity. Are the shadows creeping in because the Sox did not appear to pick up the spin on the curve that inning.

Looks like both team just want to get out of Dodge. The Royals were kind of doing their thing with smoke and mirrors. Without Ventura to shoulder a spot as a #1 or #2 and a bullpen that is not top of the league, they look rather weak.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 24, 2017 -> 11:07 AM) It's a no brainer IMO. As Jose said, maybe he improves and you can flip him, if he sucks, just cut him. Is it even possible to suck as bad as May or Asche?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 06:12 AM) "I knew the Sox were rebuilding but I didn't know it meant I'd have to watch bad players play baseball!" The issue is leaving Davidson, saladino and L Garcia on the bench for Ashe and may. I get it they are going to lose but what is gained by playing those two over the three I mentioned. If there was some sort of split then ok but those two aren't using the splits to their favor. I think their bullpen is too good for them to really suck so again here we are. This team looks exactly like prior years.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 08:53 PM) Why do they keep letting May bat in late situations? I really don't get what they are doing right now playing him and Asche so much I get its a rebuild but may wnd asche should never play ever.

The Bourjas trade is still a head scratcher in that they literally gave him away and had no viable option behind him. If the spring performance of May lead them to believe he was the answer, well, I am not certain what to make of that. If it was a 40 man roster spot that they did not not want to give him, then ok, that makes some sense but I don't think that is the case as the 40 man is at 39 I believe but I could be wrong. I know there is a rebuild and winning and losing is not the main thing but that move makes no sense at all.

The bourjas trade is odd....did they think may was ready? He looks awful.

I am finding this team intriguing. Wish Abreu and Frazier would play better.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) Wish it was in Chicago. Today has me chompin at the bit to get some baseball. 81 tomorrow in our fine city.

Yesterday the White Sox were going to get run out of town.......I must say I am becoming intrigued. A great story would be if Joe Maddon actually made the Sox a better team by leaving Tampa.

It's an awesome handout.

Ah yes white sox baseball. Guy can't find the plate......swing first pitch. Hopefully the player development changes take hold because the current philosophy of hitting his mystifyingly outdated.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:05 PM) Ashe blows but why u down on .400 Avi?The dropped fly ball? That IMO was partly Abreu's fault. Even though I do realize Avi has to scream him off the ball, but Abreu looked like a runaway truck barrelling and circling that ball. Avi is an ok hitter but a terrible baseball player. His defense is embarrassing.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:03 PM) I wish we took the great approach of don't swing at balls and swing at strikes down Hopefully the youth movement brings a changed in this horrific philosophy.

Lord this game went down the s***ter quickly. I think I have seen enough of Ashe and avi

Monday and today could have certainly been played at regular time and gotten full game in and in past years they have played in worse conditions.

Well it was a fun one inning.....they have ice cold modelo though......and the sun is out.

I'm at the game, is he being squeezed? Seems like it.

Seven hours since the last significant rainfall.........if it was raining at 5 and then poured thereafter ok but I was outside from1 until 8 and while it rained at no point was it even close to being cold and rainy enough to cancel the game. I am not certain what the white sox plan was but this was an epic failure. I don't want to see this horses*** team again this year so the voucher for my $105 ticket is worthless as was the $20 parking pass I got for the game. Again I understand weather is an issue but today after 2:00 was fine for a game this is a poorly run organization at this point.

No reason for a delay
