Haha. But he doesn't have a background having formerly played for the White Sox. He was a member of the enemy Piranhas and supposedly disliked everything about us.

Biblical references can only be made when the Cubs win, lol...

Morneau's been taking some grounders/infield practice but still hasn't taken any live BP.

White Sox win. Victor Martinez for once didn't beat them in a key moment. Robin Ventura keeps his job for one more week. Cleve/KC +5 Detroit 2 GB CHW 2 1/2 GB MLB-leading 11th victory for Chris Sale. At least kept them in the game today after that 3 spot. Battled back.

Never a dull moment with Robertson. Second out would have been a double play if not for the wild pitch on the comebacker. Anderson with a great job of stopping that ball from getting through...but not sure if it matters. Almost better for the pitcher to look out there and not see a runner on 3rd base.

Now, the real challenge. Facing a wounded (just got swept and gave up first, opposite of their opportunistic 4 game sweep over KC in Cleveland) Indians team on the road without Sale, and then Boston. 2-5 or 1-6 isn't going to get it done. Need to go 3-4 or 4-3 (being optimistic).

Nice to see we have a young hitter who can actually hit a line drive on a 95 mph fastball.

Bad luck for Anderson there...might have slightly deflected off Farmer's glove. Should be 6-3.

Anderson sporting an 875 OPS right now. That'll work. Shuck's bat finally starting to come around with regular plate appearances. Once again, leading to the question of what Coats is doing on the roster when he can't get into any kind of offensive rhythm when Ventura doesn't trust him.

Robertson will get JD Martinez, Upton and McCann. Not sure if Victor Martinez can PH or not in this one.

First pitch to Cabrera was WAY outside for a strike call. Miggy just 2 for 12 against Nate Jones now in his career. Both outs on fly balls to RF (thankfully, no Avi out there to mess things up).

5 outs to go. Doing Jones a favor not to let him walk you...swinging first pitch.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) 3 for his last 31 with 2 walks and 11 strikeouts Since he came back up again? Or you're including earlier in the year? Because he was at least over .200 when I checked last night's box score.

You really need to score 2 runs there, though. To only score one run, with Detroit's offense...just goes to show how far our team has fallen that we're sighing with relief that we scored one, when that would normally be considered a failure of sorts. We'll see if it was enough.

Ausmus clearly didn't check Eaton's splits against LHP this year. He's MUCH better against lefties, at least this season. Frazier sacrifice fly. Sale in a position to get his 11th...but won't be easy for the bullpen, that's for sure.

Cabrera would have bunted into a double play, somehow. It's the White Sox rule of whatever can go wrong, will go wrong with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs.

If they don't score in this situation...we could be seeing the end of the Robin Ventura Era. There's no way that Sale goes out there in the 8th.

Well, we can't accuse Tim Anderson of not doing his job...that's one big positive so far.

Rajai Davis, Napoli and Uribe have all been a lot more effective than anyone the Sox brought in on the cheap... 2-2 Indians tied now going to the bottom of the 5th.

Unfortunately, trying and actually achieving or accomplishing something are two entirely different things.

Just wait until after the 7th...then he will be Crede/Uribe Clutch.

Avifail At least he's containing the damage hitting from the dugout tonight.

But nobody trusts Hahn to get the proper value for him...need to assign that job to an outsider we bring in from another organization, unless it's Hostetler/Fabian/Haber.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 07:05 PM) I really hope they can get Pelfrey.this dude is trash and has been extra bad against the Sox. Bail Sale out Trade for him? Good idea.

Cubs take the lead and give it right back again. Back and forth it goes. I guess Miller and Chapman will fix that.
