Hawkins K. It's all or nothing here on Home Run Derby.

Clash of the Titans

Hawk hit a homer, of course. #3

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 06:33 PM) I think the Sox believe he will develop quicker if he faces more advanced pitching at A+ and is forced to make adjustments. Cut to 5 years from now, and he's a relief pitcher for Kannapolis. j/k

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 06:25 PM) So you are making a decision using fewer games this year, to say that last year's larger amount of games, was too small of a sample size to make a decision based on? It's my opinion, based on his age and his game, which is power, he should be at low-A. That said, I'll admit I could be wrong. Let's check out his stats in a couple months.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 06:20 PM) The fact that he hit the s*** out of the baseball at High A last year? 5 games plus a few postseason games. He's still 19, and know he's raw. He should be learning the professional game at a lower level.

Hawkins Make that 13/19. I know it's early, but what is it about him that deserved to be in High-A at 19? Bad move by the Sox.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) The reality is that all of our games against the Tigers come in the second half of the season. Unless we bomb the first half of the season, we have a chance in the second half. Yeah, but the Sox can't beat them. It ridiculous to think we'll go better than 8-11 vs the Tigers. Sox have to go 50-38 before playing the Tigers.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 03:02 PM) The White Sox were 17-21 on May 18th last year. They looked like a mediocre, terrible, .500 team. In fact, it was actually a pretty damn good team that had a pretty terrible collapse over the last 2 weeks of the season that brought them to only 8 games over .500 (Pyth W-L was 88-74). They don't look good right now, but in 2 weeks time, they could look great. It's a long season, and anyone making judgment calls right now is doing the same thing as predicting the entire Bears' season based off of 1 game. I said it before. I'll keep saying it... We need 50 wins by July 8 to have a chance.

Indians rearranged their rotation a little bit with the rain outs. Today--Quintana vs Masterson Saturday-- Sale vs McAllister Sunday-- Peavy vs Myers Monday--Floyd vs Buehrle

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 01:08 AM) Yep, Greinke broke his left collarbone. Should be crazy next week with Padres in LA to face Dodgers I wouldn't put it past LA fans to act like idiots next week. Of course, they'll all be wearing 42 on Monday for the occasion. Just to, you know, class it up.

Walker 0-5, 4 K's (sombrero), .148 Thompson 2-5, HR, .250

Homers for Danks, Phegley, and walk off homer for Loman in the 10th.

Bye, Denard!

Need Quintana to have those good Cleveland feelings from last year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 09:09 PM) Nats' announcers also shocked that Santiago was our long man with that type of stuff from the LH side. I think that's going to change next week. Axelrod profiles better as a junk baller, innings eating, relief guy that you don't care if he gets overused.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 09:05 PM) Span just destroys the Sox ............he will go 1-16 come the Braves series. Span's a good player. He actually hurt the Tigers more than the Sox. Higher average, anyway.

Hawk spewing garbage... just win.

I've been calling a Zimmerman homer all night, I might as well stay with it...

I'll give the Sox a fighting chance to win this game because of Santiago. If he can go a couple more innings, we got a shot.

Oh look, Rienzo got torched. He's a non-factor.

Wear that sombrero well, Mr. Hawkins.

The problem with the Sox bullpen is that they need two guys that can give multiple innings, and they really don't have that. Now if they bring up Omogrosso, he can probably be that 2-inning guy, and maybe Veal goes back to Charlotte if they replace Beckham's spot.
