Tied. Wow.

Never easy with the Royals man. Thank god that wasn't out.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 26, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) I don't have any good study on that. You could spend a ton of time in the minors either way. If you count college, it probably equates pretty close to the same amount of overall years. Yes, there is the rare high schooler who is up at a super young age (drafted with minimal time in the minors) but it tends to be pretty rare. Usually guys get to the big leagues around similar ages, high school draft picks who make the show in general probably have a slightly younger age than the college equivalent but also a differing risk profile (and of course there are potential to strengthen / hurt your draft stock if you take the college path). Advice I'd give if it were my kid, unless it is a high draft choice, go to college and keep more of your options open (you still haven't closed off your potential for playing professional ball, but you also aren't hindering / setting back your potential for succeeding in other non-baseball professions if that path doesn't work. It seems like the only players to make it up at a very young age are the ones with projected hall of fame talent.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 24, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) I think he gets 3 more wins than number of starts he has. We need to start putting him in the late innings of tie games.

Oh Alexei.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 11, 2016 -> 02:46 PM) Beltre's been on the cusp of hitting one out this entire series. Latos is basically living on pure BABIP luck right now.Not on that one

Hawk said it looked like his teeth went through his lip but it doesn't look like there are any broken bones or anything.

QUOTE (Yoda @ May 11, 2016 -> 02:25 PM) Who replaced Frazier at 3B? Work is blocking GameDay for whatever reason.Sanchez

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ May 11, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) How? I have no tv at work.Went into the stands to make a catch and it looked like he hit his mouth or face off the back of a seat.

Saladino doesn't look like he has a chance against Hamels.

QUOTE (aryzner @ May 11, 2016 -> 02:09 PM) Farmer and DJ both said he definitely was hit by that pitch. Was he? Hawk said it did too. I have a mediocre quality feed so I couldn't tell.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 10, 2016 -> 10:00 PM) Avi should kill a softy leftyYou are correct!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2016 -> 01:14 PM) MLB Trade Rumors ‏@mlbtraderumors 3h3 hours ago Blue Jays Release Michael Bourn http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/05/blue...hael-bourn.html … Could be a nice left-handed 4th OF option for the Sox.

Weaver is just off the corner on everything. The definition of a junkballer. You could probably get no-hit if the ump had a big strike zone.

Lawrie CRUSHED that. A little higher and it was gone.

It is painful to watch the Sox lunging at 65 mph curveballs and be way late on 80 mph fastballs.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) A good offense would have tagged him for 5 runs by now.Yeah, he's made a couple good pitches on breaking balls but he's pretty much been all fastball today.

Avila with no chance there on 97 mph. He looks really bad so far this year.

It's so weird to play the Twins and have these situations occur, but then they DON'T score any runs. For so many years, there would've been a bloop double down the line here and it'd be tied. I guess that honor has passed to the Royals.

That's good too! 3-0

It looked like it might've ticked the pole a little. Really hard to tell though.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 04:47 PM) Danks gonna give that run back?Yes he will
