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.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 10:47 AM) Go Sox! In somewhat unrelated news, the weather in Minneapolis is supposed to be terrible this weekend. Tomorrow looks like a near for sure washout. Saturday isn't much better. Disappointing as I have tickets for both. They should cancel all three right now, and play 159.

Sounds like this agency messed up tweeting this early.

Hey Mike Rizzo- you watching?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 08:00 PM) This offense...yikes 2013, they scored under 600 runs. I could see that again.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:02 PM) Man if Holland and Shields can keep this going I will be very excited for this coming trade deadline. We'll see, but I kinda like having professionals like Gonzalez, Shields, and Holland around to keep the rest of the team sane. If they replace those guys too soon, and then have injuries, it would be a bad thing for the development of some guys. And it's not like those guys are going to bring back a lot anyway.

Tim Anderson is going to be Alexei with better speed. He'll get better, and then he'll plateau at a level that's fine. I don't think anyone thinks he's a superstar in the works.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 10:38 AM) Why such an early game? Usually kids days. Schools take them. I wonder if there is a statistical correlation to early starts and pitching domination.

QUOTE (juddling @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 01:45 AM) I know it's pushing the 'Celebrity" line but she David Letterman's mother Dorothy died at 95. She did appear on his show from time to time back in the day Unbelievable. Today is Letterman's 70th birthday, and I was thinking the other day that it's cool his mom is still alive. What timing to read this news.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 08:46 PM) Hate to be the debbie downer here, but I want to see Moncada cut down on his K rate. Obviously it's a very small sample, but striking out 30% of the time in AAA is a huge red flag. I'd ideally like to see him in the 20% to 25% range before calling him up. I would hope they just keep him down there for at least two months, no matter what. Let him dominate for a while. There will be a lot of people that want him to face Sale at the end of May though.

Moncada with a walk, stolen base. And a throwing error.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 07:07 PM) Glasnow absolutely sucked tonight Hard pass on that guy. I'm thinking it's Astros or Yankees if they get the right offer.

1-2-3 first inning for Pelfrey. Enjoy it. Moncada k looking

Fring's Back

Charlotte 4-0; the other three 1-11. Ha.

Wow. Back to 18 tee box. Sergio earned it, but Rose is going to be thinking about a couple putts forever.
