QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 03:42 PM) Receiving it poorly is giving up on it. Backhanding it is fine, just stick it. Taking it to the ground was the issue. Nathan gave up because of how Pierzynski received it. Agreed the pitch was not that bad. Mlbn made a huge issue about it as well. God I hope they do not turn into ESPN.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 7, 2013 -> 09:07 PM) I'm offended by it just the same. The onus is on the White Sox to field a team that people want to see. No reason to not like this team. I am tired of the derrick rose team needs to be great on paper to care. If verlander's arm falls off the Sox are the best team in the division. Then what will fans b**** about.

The handling of the bullpen is bad already. Jones in the opener and why no reed last night?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 03:52 PM) Holland hasn't been throwing strikes. Flowers the only one willing to wait. Maybe break up the over swinging, free swinging cubans in the lineup.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 03:50 PM) That has to be a situation where you have Wise hit for him. Should have happened two strike outs ago. His history in that match-up was not good at noon today and it only got worse as the day went on. Why is pinch hitting so taboo for the Chicago White Sox?

have a day Diane

I wonder what would happen if the plan was to not cut down on strikeouts this year.

Glad to see Hosmer getting hit after Flowers was hit earlier.

Let's hope he gets the day off the next time they face Guthrie.

surprised Dayan didn't swing at the pitchout.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 02:49 PM) While I agree late-in-season games shouldnt be weighted in importance, isn't the scoreboard-follow just a little early here? Watching the game and thought it was something people would be interested in.

Fielder struck out and Martinez popped to second with the bases loaded.

Seen this before...

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 02:00 PM) De Aza has matched his gidp total from last year already. Seems like he is almost at the same amount of strikeouts as well. One more bad at-bat and we will get from Hawk, "Alejandro has more bad at bats in three games than I think he had all last season."

Didn't he go until about august without doing that last year?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) Last year he had 4 starts against the Sox with a 0.30 ERA Not missing a beat. This game has the look of one of those Floyd mistakes going about 400 feet to right center and a 3-0 final.

This weekend these guys will get breaks with the day/night game thing.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 10:18 AM) We know I hate it, but it always seems like the majority here prefer it. Is that still the case? I have always hated them especially in the baseball related topics. $.02 given

I love game threads. 5-2 victories sound like 9-1 defeats

I love Soxtalk I read the thread for the 7th inning before going to Gamecast. Thought at a minimum it was 4-3. Also I thought yesterday with Crain and Lindstrom warm, that was who they should have gone to over Jones. Would be nice to get a little offense going.

What happened on the Beckham play? The White Sox seemingly have no chance of hitting anyone that comes out of the Royals bullpen so Veal better hold them here.

Louisville is the best team in the tourney.

No April fool's thread?
