QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 2, 2014 -> 07:19 AM) Sox website listed Carrasco. Tribe website lists Salazar. I have changed it to Salazar. Either way, somebody with an ERA over 6 is starting for them. They moved Carrasco to the pen. 20 runs and three quality starts this weekend, then come back to Chicago and beat the Cubs four straight. Good time for a win streak.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) This seems like the opposite of what almost everyone else had said this year. I know. The Road to Rodon has hit a dead end. (wow that's bad)

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 1, 2014 -> 07:08 PM) Keith Law stated on Buster Olney's podcast (today's edition) that he thinks the White Sox will select Erick Fedde with the third pick right now. Said Hoffman's elbow pain is worrisome and will cause him to drop. That would be an ultra disappointing selection. Law did not say it with any sort of confidence, however. But I can understand Hoffman over Rodon if the medicals check out on Hoffman, but Fedde over Rodon would be disappointing. Fedde who? 5 weeks to go. This draft class seems to be garbage. Well, maybe not garbage, but not the year to have the 3rd pick. They probably have just as good a chance to get an impact player at #44 or #77.

I'm surprised Jacob May has been this bad. Barnum on the other hand...

Hanson 4.1, 5 hits, 5 walks. Stay there.

Hanson walked two. Buffalo scored two so far in the 3rd.

Hanson 1st- Fly out to Mitchell, ground out to Sanchez, liner to Black at 1B

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) Why is Nestor Molina still on the 40 man? Just admit it was a horrible, horrible trade and send him on his way. He's the obvious guy to go if Hanson gets added next Tuesday.

33-28 on draft day.

Got my days wrong. Hanson would be in line for next Tuesday if he starts tomorrow. I think if he puts up a quality start, he'll be up. Dump Nestor Molina off the 40.

So who's starting next Tuesday at Wrigley? Hanson is supposed to start Friday, so probably not him.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) That would be nice. With an off day tomorrow, I fear this game ends up being a quick, 4-0 loss and they get the hell out of there. Say what?

Just send Beckham to Toronto for Kyle Drabek or somebody like that, and just move on.

105 pitches. He'll probably be out of there.

He's around 100 pitches. 3 innings from the Tigers pen may keep the Sox in this game.

Petricka has done a very good job this season.

Beckham is a killjoy.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 02:22 PM) Next 20 games with 14 on the road will start to tell the tale. 33-28 on draft day (June 5th). Remember that.

If I was told before the season that the Sox would use 9 different starting pitchers in their first 29 games, and Sale would only start four of them, I would have guessed 9-20 as a record. So 14-15 ain't too shabby. Still believe in this team if they get healthy and stay healthy in the next two weeks.

I hope Robin learned something last night.

Throwaway game. Should have won last night.
