Backes has now been ruled out for Game 4.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 08:18 PM) Belly belly belly. He'll walk 1, give up a single, then get the K Pretty solid prediction, tbh.

Really wanted to see Rienzo finish 7 innings. This bullpen absolutely terrifies me.

All Sem does is hit go-ahead HRs. All 3 so far. And he has 13 RBI. On pace for about 100.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 08:09 PM) Let's get that plus sign now! Don't worry, we still got a Tank HR coming up.

In other words.....cya Beckham, it's been real.

SEM DOG!!!!! f*** YES!!!!

Come on Sem, work that walk.

I'd rather see Trayce Thompson up here at this point than Jordan Danks.

In case anyone has noticed, Abreu has seen 11 pitches in his last 2 AB. He has only swung at 1 of those 11, a pitch way off the plate that he just struck out on.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 06:35 PM) Haha, no, to my knowledge, he doesn't...at least not in the US. Just making a joke about Colabello's hot start. A lot of people weren't expecting him to make it past the first week of hot hitting. We'll see. Yeah, I figured that out after I googled it and saw he hasn't played since 2009. Thanks.....jerk!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 06:26 PM) One behind Colabello/Chris Shelton now in RBI's, 22 to 21. Chris Shelton still plays baseball?? I remember like 6 or 7 years ago when he hit like 9 HR after the first 15 games of the year. And then he sucked. It was very Hee-Sop Choi of him.

Bombs from Viciedo and Yogi tonight.

If I understanding that tweet correctly, we have shifted more than any other team, therefore we have more outs recorded via the shift.....okay...isn't that to be expected? Wouldn't you also assume the team that shifts the LEAST has the most amount of "in zone" outs recorded? Does that correlation then mean that you should never shift? I'm just failing to see how this proves the shift does or doesn't work. It's like saying the team that bunts the most has the most sacrifice bunts, therefore sac bunting is always the right thing to do.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 03:59 PM) How the f*** is Backes going to play with a concussion? I'm just relaying information. Just said he hadn't been ruled out officially, and some people appear to be speculating on Twitter that he could play. So in other words, questionable.

So Brenden Morrow is out for the rest of the series. David Backes is questionable for tonight.

Wilkins - 2/5, 2B, HR, 3 RBI Heath - 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K Nothing good happening in BIR today except for maybe RP Parker Frazier. 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 08:22 PM) It now sounds like you are looking in the wrong spot. The Playstation Store is a bit confusing, but there should be a thing on the left for Instant Game Collection or PS+, whatever, as well as a separate thing where you can re-up/buy PS+. It's possible you are just clicking on the latter and not the former. Also, discounted games don't 'show up.' You look up the game and if it has an available discount it will have an PS+ logo indicating a cheaper price. It will show that whether or not you are subscribed to Plus or not. I wonder why they would change that. It's SO easy to navigate on the PS3. You click the PS+ section, it then gives you a category for free games or discounted games. Super simple. I'll just map out what I'm doing and you let me know........ -Click PS Store -On the main menu, I choose "Playstation Plus" -It then shows me 6 titles. They read (from left-top, to right-bottom)......Playstation Plus, Never Tried PS+? Get 14 Days Free, April Free Games Lineup, 12+ Months, 3+ Months, 1+ Month -So I would then assume I should click "April Free Games Lineup".... -When I click that, it shows me 3 items to purchase. 12+ Months, 3+ Months, 1+ Month. This screen is the same as a screen that would list all the games available, but instead of showing game art, it shows the purchase options.

Your numbers are off. You should be using K/PA. Just looking at Jared Mitchell alone, his K% is actually 40%, not 56.8%. That's a MASSIVE difference.

I'd be okay with Turner in the 2nd RD, but f*** NO on the 1st round.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 10:44 AM) Team has bigger issues than Versteeg. (who at least has an adequate playoff history, and is currently tied for 4th in our playoff scoring) Like Brandon freaking Bollig playing ahead of Morin, Oduya looking like our worst defense-men this series, etc. BUT BOLLIG IS BIG AND WE NEED TO MATCH UP WITH ST. LOUIS. Ugh. Hawks need to play to their strengths, and that's finesse and speed. Morin fits that bill way more than dumpy Brandon Bollig does.

I voted Davidson, Micah, and Trayce.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) Not an impact prospect yet, but might we have something in Trey Michalczewhatever? Quite a pup, having just turned 19, and holding his own. He was my favorite offensive pick of the draft last year. Maybe it's because I envision Chase Headley every time I think of Trey's potential, but a switch-hitting power 3B would be really fun to have. Hell, a switch hitting power ANY position. The ability to hit HR from both sides of the plate is a dope tool.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 07:24 PM) Like others said...he got demoted and never had a shot at the bigs after making it last year. Mentally that's rough. And the guy he is behind organizationally is currently the #3 hitter in the highest run scoring offense in baseball.....lol, he can't be feeling too optimistic right now.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 10:54 PM) It sounds like something is wrong, but I would go to the Playstation website and check your account to make sure everything is kosher. I found some backways in to looking at a game I knew was free to PS+ users, and it had it available for me to download, so it appears I am given the capabilites, it is just marketing to me as if I have not yet subscribed. Like I said, I can't even get a list of discounted or free games to show up, every tile just shows a plan for me to sign up with. I guess I'll find out for sure in 3 weeks when I get The Show (PS4) and I try to play online.
