Micker Adolfo (way off) would be another possibility, albeit extremely raw and a long path ahead.

Why the bad guys are winning in Baltimore.... http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/10/us/baltimore...view/index.html

Don't give in to Springer. Of course, behind him is Altuve...maybe the best hitter in the AL.

If that balls goes out....just got under it.

That lead started evaporating in a hurry. This game is interesting again.

The game goes from a complete blowout to a nailbiter in the span of 3 minutes. SIGH.

Correa's first big league homer. The fan who caught that ball better hold out for all the Apple gear like the Indians' bullpen did on Moss' 100th homer.

Great defense again, guys. That's what happens when you have players on the field not used to playing with each other. Bonifacio was way over for the shift....had too much ground to cover and wind's really blowing apparently.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) He did himself no favors by looking as if he's never played baseball before during Spring Training. I'd love to replace him with Ruggiano. Everth Cabrera, whoever (he led the NL in stolen bases in 2012, that's something). Of course, you know that Hahn isn't going to admit another Keppinger/Downs mistake in the middle of the season.

White Sox offense continues to fight for ineptness records. Even in winning, you still want to throw the remote control through the t.v.

Flowers 3/29 career with the bases loaded. Greg Holland's now on a 38/39 streak save conversion streak if you count the post-season.

It's like Big 10 football and basketball almost....except that style almost never works against the elite speed teams from the Pac 10 and SEC in the post-season. Pretty amazing...maybe the Warriors just got too overconfident when Irving went down.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:46 PM) I love seeing Qualls pitch against the Sox with bases loaded. Good memories. I'm sure he has flashbacks every time he faces the White Sox. Actually, from 2012-2014 he was 5 IP, 2 H, no runs...1 BB, 2 K's. Where can you find career stats against a team? Baseball-reference?

5 doubles now on the season for Cabrera. The Astros' announcers are claiming he's broken out of his slump. We'll see.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:32 PM) So, Mike Brown was following police instructions? Eric Garner was following police instructions? They were plainly NOT following police instructions. So from those instances, how is following police instructions more dangerous? Brown at least stopped.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) He could be working on a certain pitch. The one that the announcers were enamored with was the splitter/change that's thrown at 90 MPH. That wiped out Schwarber, even when he was ahead in the count. (Of course, he was expecting 95-98 probably). But nice to see he's confident enough to throw it when down 3-1 in the count to a very dangerous hitter. That takes some stones.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:26 PM) Haven't you told us 100 times why no one goes to games? Now you can't complain about them winning 2-0, so mention the attendance. Again. It's not a phenomenon of the White Sox. It's a condition for all rebuilding teams. The Astros and Twins aren't drawing much better, and those teams are both in first place in mid-June. There aren't many fanbases with seven years and counting of non-playoff appearances who are supporting their teams, either.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) Great pitching doesn't fill seats, need to put runs on the board. Also, how many games have you been to this season? ZERO. Hard to attend from China. When I'm back in the Quad Cities for two weeks in July, I'll see if there's a game I can make it to. When you have a thee month old, it's more of a priority to get back and spend time with your child during summer vacation (for a teacher).

Twins and Royals engaged in some old school pitcher's/defense battles this week. Fast games. Whoever wins tonight has sole possession of first again at 10 games over .500 (and that would be the best record in the AL, amazingly).

How was their batter's interference against Tyler Flowers if he was already at 1B and Bonifacio was hitting?

Only 18,000+? That's not a good crowd for June, even for a Tuesday night. Guess there aren't many closet Astros/Correa and/or top prospect followers in Chicagoland. Petricka coming in next inning. I guess, in all fairness, the Twins and Astros aren't drawing that well and they're both in first place.

Wasn't the barrel roll an accidental trip that he tried to sell?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) Video and scouting report here. Hands do indeed get out quick. He's a prospect. Every hitter who has half a clue is a prospect in the White Sox organization at this point.

17.2 IP and 26 k's for Putnam. That's crazy. Look for the split finger and still don't hit it.
