Out of all of the meaningless games the Sox play this season, this could be way up there. Now watch the Sox win big, and Shields throw a shutout.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 05:05 PM) Chris Sale might go winless and still win the Cy Young, haha. 1.27 era and 12 k's but headed for a no decision, potentially. Sawx need to score this inning. But really, I wonder if baseball will ever just discontinue Wins, Losses, and Saves. They are completely meaningless, but are so hard to ignore.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 02:44 PM) I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make, as thus far, Q's value has gone nowhere but down to start the season and it appears as if Hahn made the wrong decision to not trade him in the offseason. We get it, the worse Q pitches, the lower the value and the less the Sox get back as that trends. Pretty obvious stuff. BTW, there is a Topps Now of the 3 Garcias.

Has Q ever bounced a pitch that short before? Good god. I hope he's ok.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 02:17 PM) Frazier has just become a horrible hitter. He's cost himself an insane amount of money This past offseason should scare him. He's probably looking at one year deals the rest of his career.

What's done is done. Or this case, not done. Just have to hope Q bounces back. Oh look, Hawk ranking hospitals now.

Sanchez batting 6th. Time to clean the garage. Raining there now, but in a few hours they should be good to go. Maybe a delay during the game, but they'll play.

I wonder if Kopech could be a better pitcher (better control) throwing an easy 96-97, instead of maxing out every time. If anyone is watching him, is he not locating on fastballs or off speed stuff, or just everything?

Kopech time. How about 6 inn, 1 run, 1 walk, 10 k?

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 06:49 PM) I see by the radar it is raining in Minneapolis...do you know if they have determined a start time yet? Is it officially delayed? Tarp is on the field and they'll be in a delay. No other info. Eyeballing the radar, I don't think it's going to be a long delay.

Game not starting on time.

Topps needs to make a card to document this truly historical event.

I think they'll get the games in. May just have some rain delays. Good luck to Dylan Covey tonight.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 06:59 AM) Asche goes up there and looks like he can hit and work an at bat, but just never hits Kinda like Mark Teahen, but worse.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 08:25 PM) I can't listen to hawk, switching to Tribe feed. Jesus TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT TEAM. The little I've watched live, it's unbearable.

Two years ago, Avi had an OPS in the .820s in late May. By the end, it was .625. I'm all for him turning a corner, but it's got to be at least three months of good production before I get too excited. Also, you know, defense.

A first round college pitcher probably is ready for high-A. Dunning probably be in Winston-Salem pretty damn soon, and Birmingham before August shouldn't be out of question. Daniel Hudson had that one year he flew through the system. Maybe this guy can be similar, but obviously not big leagues this year.

Great game so far. I'm just posting to pad stats. I wouldn't want to be accused of not posting enough during wins.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 06:07 PM) I bet your desk is very organized. I responded when it said 2 hours. I wouldn't have said anything had I saw the edit.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 06:05 PM) It's taken 1 hour to get through 2 innings 55 minutes

AJ made too much money to make 40 flights and stay in hotels 90-100 days a year just to be a color guy. He's a network guy, and he'll be great.

It's going to be interesting to see how many individual 10-day DLs there are going to be this year compared to recent years of the 15-day DL. Can you say, "considerable spike"?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) Anyone catch Louis CK's new Netflix special? I actually turned it off after about 20 minutes. It was painful to get through. He just seemed off for whatever reason and was even wearing a suit which is strange for him. I did the same thing about a week ago. I'll watch it eventually, but I haven't had an urge to get back to it. Agree about the suit. Maybe better than a sweaty t shirt though.
