Hopefully Putnam can cover the 8th, and take the weekend off.

Putnam is reminding me of 1999 Keith Foulke. Not a closer, but comes in for a couple innings and usually is quick about it.

Tanaka is on schedule to pitch at Wrigley on May 20th and the Cell on the 25th.

Votto walked off the Rockies. Arenado's streak is OVAH. Bone Loogan.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2014 -> 08:41 PM) Haha. DBacks announcers just going on and on about how the White Sox pen is vulnerable if they can add a run here and there to get back in it. Are you sure you're not thinking it's Hermanson, Politte, Cotts and Jenks out there??? No Cleto tonight. I like Webb, Belisario, and Lindstrom holding down a 4+ run lead if Rienzo gets through the 6th.

Leesman with 8 shutout innings. It's like the big leagues spook him.

If Rienzo gets through 6, the game is over. It's a good feeling having a great pen.

Morneau double to tie it.

Rockies better tie it.

Mark Parent is managing tomorrow.

Did not see this coming after the first three innings. Alexei Vintage 2008 was nice.

Wendelken 9 k's thru 5.

Sox hitters taking walks tonight. Ricky Romero again. Wendelken back giving up hits.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 9, 2014 -> 06:08 PM) I don't like him because throwing hard is the ONLY thing I ever hear about him. I hear about Rodon's sick arsenal of plus pitches, I hear about Aiken's great control and being a lefty, and then I just hear that Kolek throws hard. That would be my concern too. Is he just a thrower that knows how to over-power high school kids, or does he have more than that? It would be unfortunate to take a high school pitcher at 3, and then he's a relief pitcher in Birmingham four years later. But the Sox have a great track record with pitching, so if they take him, I'd hope for the best. It just sucks there isn't a bat that they HAD to take. Just not this draft, unfortunately.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 9, 2014 -> 05:25 PM) Supposedly Hahn was on Sports Talk Live yesterday. Anyone know if he was there in person or he phoned in? It would be hard for him to be there and at Beede's start. The Cell.

De Aza 8, Beckham 4, Gillaspie 5, Abreu DH, Dunn 3, Viciedo 7, Ramirez 6, Sierra 9, Flowers 2 Parra, Owings, Goldschmidt, Montero, Hill, Chavez, Prado, Ross, Pollock

Sean Bierman and Denis Phipps released.

Brent Morel up with the Pirates. Whopping .591 OPS at Indianapolis.

Sox are back to leading the AL in runs per game at 5.11 through about 22% of the schedule.

Tonight was Sale's 4th missed start. Sox are 1-3 in those games.

Hopefully the d-backs really enjoyed their day off in Chicago. And are still enjoying it.

4 hours

Hawk forgetting about McDowell, Ventura, Thomas, Fernandez, Alvarez, Bere. But whatever.
