Semien should be getting everyday PAs down in AAA when Gordon comes back.
That's true. I was going to say let Semien play 3B against all lefties and then play 2B and SS against righties when needed, but full time in AAA is probably a better plan. I'm just so over Beckham that I feel its a downgrade to go from Sem to Becks.

I think Leury put himself ahead of Semien for the role of super sub when Gordon returns
Oh god no, give me Semien every time. His 0-10 so far does not worry me, he is far more talented.

We do know Adam Dunn hit a homer today, right?
And he hit 34 last year, that still won't stop managers from challenging him when you are about 7x more likely that he will strike out.
My god this game is just crawling along. I have work at 5, and I never thought I would be pressed for time getting ready for work. Probably going to spend the 9th inning in the shower. 3 hours and still 10 outs left. Yeesh.

we still have two more chances
I'm hoping Semien will draw the walk and Abreu will go yard. Hell, maybe even Adam Dunn can launch one with someone on.

Boy I wish the White Sox had someone on the bench that could hit a little better than Flowers as that would be a nice spot for it. Flowers swing is very loooooooong
Paging Paul Konerko?

That's the part that makes absolutely no sense to me. You can't just give him 2B because Eaton dropped the ball. That's like assuming Plouffe would have been at 2B. But he clearly wasn't. He was running back towards first when Eaton "dropped" the ball.
That's what I was saying earlier, the only outcome of that review should have been figuring out which runner gets to stand at 1B with 1 out.
By the way, look at the way Flowers was set up over the plate. Paging TaylorSt, paging Taylor, I'd like to know why the umpire didn't rule the runner safe.
