Of course, more terrible bunting by Sox players. Sigh.

Swung through a hanging curve...just like Abreu against Rondon late yesterday (slider)... Ventura is clueless. Shuck bailed him out, but Sanchez can still hit into a dp.

Going for the win on the road? Flowers is a fly ball hitter, you have to get the runner over to third and tie it. Now Shuck is phing for Flowers? Dont get it.

Avi not making contact with Cabrera at third and only one out now looming even larger... Oh, well. At least Eaton is coming alive...Garcia tries to redeem himself. Someone missed a sign there? Now Beckham's not bunting. Geez.

Is Putnam hurt again?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) Zach Duke is a real b****, a total f***ing coward. The season was over long ago...no point in getting that upset anymore, it's a waste of emotion. Just know that Quintana will be snakebitten and accept something disastrous will occur. It's almost like the team expects it as well at this point.

It's almost like this is the 8th inning, must use Duke regardless of the situation.

Cabrera closing in on a 600 ops as well...finally had slugging pass obp. Too little, too late, though.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) Seriously Rajai Davis HR? Seriously? More likely Tigers' fans saying the same about Eaton and Flowers.

Goodbye, lead. That was quick. This bullpen is Getting Nailed.

At least our offense is efficient tonight. Castellanos would't have made that play last season.

Or, if you're offended that someone cheated on their wife, the only presidential statue to be erected in the future will be of Jimmy Carter, by all accounts, our worst but smartest and most moral president and the one who has done the most since leaving office. But...back to the y2hh point, it would be a true shame if a kid can't play a Stratego or Risk-like Civil War based strategy game because there happens to be a Confederate battle flag as part of the game. That's sanitizing the past to the point where it soon becomes unrecognizable.

Almost five homers by Cespedes against Quintana in the last year... Maybe a dead arm, because he's not getting his normal movement...just not crisp enough to get away with mistakes.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 06:34 PM) Crede would've. Got on him fast and went off the top of the leather. Looked like he was surprised he even got a glove on it. Or Uribe, Vizquel and Beckham.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 06:31 PM) Q is a battler... but I swear the moment you give him a lead he gives it back. And/or there's a defensive lapse or two behind him...

Should Gillaspie have caught that ball?

Cabrera getting killed by that slider/cutter in under the hands. Still has higher Obp thand SLG.

Quintana 5th in war amongst all mlb lefties since 2012, ahead of Bumgarner and Lester.

Eaton almost misjudged that...would have been a triple. Great recovery though.

Abreu now 6/10 against Sanchez. White Sox had only scored 50 runs in their 20 previous to yesterday.

3 steals, 5 cs now for Avi...

Cespedes had four consecutive homers against Quintana. 4/13 now overall.

Giving up a double when you're already playing so far back in prevent defense mode is ridiculous. Nothing with our defense should surprise at this point. And if there's anyone in the world who knows the power of Miggy, it's Avi.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) Did u see there have been random killings today. 30 some dead at a resort overseas. A beheading that was random. I'm telling you, the world is a cesspool right now. Anybody who travels outside this country right now is a fool IMO. You can be killed anywhere as an American target. It's not that bad. Probably wouldnt want to go to the Middle East...in 2013, when I was in Kenya, I passed on Egypt but the same shopping mall (in Nairobi) we went to everyday was taken over by Somalian terrorists and all non-Muslim were executed. Luckily I had already left three weeks earlier.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) With the way he looked in yesterday's game and a righty on the mound tonight...I would 100% give Jose Abreu the day off. He'll probably come out and get 5 hits based on me saying this, but I'd do the "tell him last night to sleep in today and you're not even going to pinch hit unless it goes 10 innings or someone gets hurt" routine and completely give him the day off. 5 ks is his last 6 abs, seems to be really feeling for the ball. 5/8 against Sanchez, though. That's why he's in there tonight.
