QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 11:58 PM) Maybe on a Thursday night, with kids out of school, but I doubt it. What are the advance sales? Nobody's going to walk up. It should be a LOT of walk up...we've had crowds earlier in the year in only the 10-11,000 range, so the season ticket base for those games logically has to be around 8,500 to 9,500 before any additional ticket is sold.

18,803 and 18,424 so far this week. It has to be 25,000+ for Sale/Scherzer tomorrow night and the White Sox with a chance to cut the lead down to 1 1/2 games...doesn't it???

“There have been some instances where things happened that probably shouldn’t have happened, and he was right there in the middle of it,” Dunn explained. “I just know that bats fall on your foot that probably shouldn’t have fallen on your foot. There have been some other things. His hands go places they probably shouldn’t go and hit you in places they probably shouldn’t hit you. Obviously he can’t do this by himself, but something is going on there.” The Eaton story with his wife freaking out coming into the hotel room in California was pretty funny.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 10:12 PM) Don't worry, Saurez will ruin Sale's pretty little line tomorrow. He seems like the type that would. If that happens, there will be a REAL story. Suarez. Verlander, now 6-6, has allowed 31 earned runs and 49 hits over his last 37 2/3 innings.

Verlander "Doom-O-Meter" rising with each and every start...there will be genuine excitement among the Sox fanbase for the first time since 2012 if Sale beats Scherzer tomorrow and they pull to within 1 1/2 games of the Tigers.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) Rangel still rules the world. But can he catch or play LF?

Well, Nieto has gone from 1 to 3 walks in one game. 660 OPS.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) FIRE AUSMUS!!!! inexcusable to leave Verlander out there! Still don't understand why he didn't go after an A ball player in Nieto, but DeAza hasn't lit the world on fire this season, either.

That's HUGE for DeAza's confidence... Eaton, Viciedo and Flowers are all struggling, Dunn....someone/anyone needs to step up beyond Abreu/Conor/Alexei/Beckham.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:09 PM) very selfish player For the first 6 weeks, over 60% of his hits were to the opposite field. He's just in a terrible slump. Steverson's not a god.

Working around him to go after Nieto seemingly.

Why do I have a feeling Dayan will hit into a pitcher to catcher to 1B DP? Pop up? K? God, he's been scuffling. Although he hit the ball hard at Kinsler.

One of Verlander's best fastballs there against Dunn....96 MPH, which of course resulted in Dunn reaching.

As usual, the opponent threatens or scores the inning after the White Sox blow a huge scoring opportunity. #likeclockwork Or maybe, just maybe, this is the John Danks we'll have for the remainder of the season...and things will start to get really interesting with adding one more veteran starter to the back end of the rotation. Remember when Austin Jackson and Avila looked like perennial All-Stars and Martinez looked like toast?

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 07:52 PM) Still have 3 innings but well see. 4

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 07:51 PM) You cannot waste them against Detroit it most times cost the Sox a W. The Detroit bullpen is a trainwreck at the back end with Nathan and Joba recently. That said, Nathan's only blown a couple of games his entire career against the White Sox.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 07:48 PM) Avila got away with blocking the plate there. Eaton is safe if he can slide directly to the plate. What's the new rule about blocking the plate? Can the umpire call the baserunner safe/discretion?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 07:45 PM) Eaton is so fun He has to walk more, though. A 653 OPS is Brian Anderson-esque. And 5/10 on steals needs some improvement as well.

What happened there? Was it even close at home? Sigh.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 06:33 PM) p.s. lol at throwing Jose fastballs over the plate, there is absolutely no reason to do so Except it wasn't over the plate, it was inside and probably wasn't even a strike. Abreu's obviously making some adjustments of his own as he starts seeing the AL Central opponents a couple of times and gets a better feel for how they're going after him. Cruz 21, Encarnacion 20, Abreu 19

Reminiscent of Mike Trout off Sale. Verlander threw that pitch to the exact location (in and off the plate) that Avila had his glove waiting for... Pulled his hands in and muscled it out. Justin couldn't believe it.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 06:18 PM) he'll eventually have his fun with her and get tired of her like jeter always does with woman, then want to get back with his old gf and she'll take him back because hes rich. /lol Or Kate Upton will dump him for Max Scherzer, Anibal Sanchez or Carlos Rodon.

Farmer pointing out Alex Rios leads the AL in hitting and triples as of today. Gillaspie would have a 15+ point lead with enough plate appearances.

Eaton swinging on a series of fastballs that were out of the zone high there. Can't do that as the leadoff man. Have to make Verlander come to you. DJ claims that Verlander doesn't look very confident tonight warming up. Might have something to do with his last month of results, Darrin. Of course, he strikes out the first two. Second offspeed pitch in the 1st, both to Beckham. Slider gets him. Both Eaton and Beckham took center-cut fastballs first pitch. Best pitches to hit, but no swings.
