QUOTE (Donaldo @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 07:00 PM) Anybody hear Renteria on with Spiegel and Parkins today? Bad interview all around IMO. Just listened to it, and while I don't think Renteria will ever be a must-hear interview, Parkins seems like such a tool in love with the sound of his own voice. What I like about Renteria...he seems like an authentically boring baseball guy. He knows what he wants to say, and he's not going to give media guys a canned answer that's almost expected in 2017.

Sox with another March win. Ynoa looks solid, and is probably a lock with 2 weeks left in Arizona.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 05:45 PM) Por que? I think on a pick off play where he was covering. He took a few seconds to get it together, but he stayed in.

Just for fun: Sale starts: 4-5 vs Pit 4-10 at Det 4-16 vs TB 4-21 at Bal 4-27 vs NY 5-2 vs Bal 5-7 at Min 5-13 vs TB 5-19 at Oak 5-25 vs Tex 5-30 at White Sox

Moncada limping...not a sight I want to see again.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 05:25 PM) Another HR for Moncada. Cool. No rush.

I look at it this way....in 13-14 years when the lease is up, you never know what the landscape of the world and MLB will be. Nothing is impossible, but for now, enjoy the rebuild and hope the Sox are the team of the 2020's.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 04:59 PM) Feels nice to be beating KC...even if it is just ST I guess, but for the sake of the rebuild, KC is one of the teams we don't want to be sellers in July.

Asche homer. 5-2.

Avi dinger. 4-2 Sox

Moncada homer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 04:27 PM) Anderson is great. Moncada is horrific defensively I would love it if the Sox told Moncada he's playing 60 games in Birmingham no matter what. Then Charlotte for 60 games no matter (if he's ready). Then Chicago if he earns it. Go slow, and forget he ever played for the Red Sox.

http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/video/v12350...ite-sox-webcast Lopez looks good. Hope he can stick as a starter.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 10:36 AM) I'm going 13 pitchers to start. OF- Cabrera, Tilson, Garcia, Bourjos IF- Frazier, Anderson, Saladino, Sanchez, Abreu, Davidson C- Narvaez, Soto SP- Quintana, Shields, Holland, Gonzalez, Rodon BP- Covey, Ynoa, Luebke, Petricka, Putnam, Jennings, Jones, Robertson With the Tilson injury, I'll replace him with Asche and May, and dump Davidson. I would say Leury, but his baserunning is a joke. Obviously, 2-3 bullpen spots are up in the air.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 05:26 PM) So who do we expect to start CF come opening day Bourjos

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 03:52 PM) The White Sox have scored 8 runs in an inning in 3 straight games. 22 runs and recorded 8 outs in their last 3 innings at the plate Pretty crazy the last couple games. This spring, they've played pretty typical scoring baseball games.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 01:06 PM) No. Their usual procedure is to try a 3 week rest to see if it's more the stress reaction vs. more severe type of stress fracture. That's why they tried to work him at 3 weeks or so. It was still sore so they will probably wait another 3-4 to see how it reacts. It's what the process is for this type of injury. I don't doubt your knowledge of the injury, but he hasn't played a baseball game in over 7 months. If it's going to take a few more weeks, then he's not ready for a major league season. He needs to play AAA baseball to rehab, and if he's ready, then bring him back. It's not like he's an established major league player.

I would assume Quintana will face the Cubs on Friday after the Thursday off day. edit: actually not at this moment https://twitter.com/JJStankevitz/status/841326188664508417

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 12:04 PM) They need to shelve him for 2-3 months at least, no matter what, and throw him back out there mid season if completely healed. Its no biggie, the season is meant for taking the entire 162 to evaluate young talent. He will get his shot at some point. Agreed with that. He hasn't played in so long...Tilson needs to go to the minors when he's ready and proven healthy, then bring him back. It's like he got into a tough-guy mode and pretended he was healthy enough, but clearly he isn't.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 10:51 PM) Oh wait... the thread for today's games doesn't exist, so far as I can see... Edit: Yea, it's already been archived for some reason. God forbid we discuss Moncada in a Moncada thread. I was trying to make a joke about the game thread being gone, not taking a shot at you. Anyway, yeah Moncada one k away from a sombrero.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 10:51 PM) Oh wait... the thread for today's games doesn't exist, so far as I can see... I know. Somebody closed it for some reason. Davidson 0-3, 3 k

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 10:24 PM) Dudes looked lost at the plate this spring. If only there were a game thread to discuss this. Oh wait...

CWS vs. Dodgers, tonight: Engel 8, Anderson 6, Cabrera 7, A. Garcia 9, Davidson 5, Moncada 4, Soto 2, Hayes 3, Schnurbusch DH, Holland LHP On WLS radio for your sleeping pleasure.
