QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 06:59 PM) This is where I wish Paulie batted 4th. Good call.

Hawkins 10 k's in 4+ games.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 06:50 PM) On the plus side, Gillaspie is continuing to look good. Hopefully, he can develop some doubles/XB pop, especially at USCF. What's the time frame now for Beckham to return from the broken hamate bone? 6-8 weeks. Split the difference--June 1.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) The DH should be mandatory in any Interleague Game. That would seem to be a logical compromise if the NL doesn't ditch pitchers hitting altogether.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 06:38 PM) Yeah, so why isn't he a starter again? They should start Santiago in Toronto. Actually they should start him Sunday in Cleveland, but we'll see if they start tweaking.

40 pitches.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 06:12 PM) "Conner" and "Conor" are pronounced the same way. He's a f***ing hick idiot.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20130411 Rienzo, Arroyo, Blough, and Brennan start. FWIW- Sanchez, Tolleson, Morel all in the lineup. Looks like Omo will be getting the call tomorrow.

QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 05:42 PM) Chances that Sanchez gets called up? Very low, in my opinion. I think Omogrosso comes up for the Cleveland series and possibly the first part of the Toronto series, and then they may switch things up.

Too bad. I would say this is a good opportunity for Conor Gillaspie.

Viciedo sits again http://baseballpress.com/lineup.php

Torii Hunter plays younger than 37/38, whatever he is.

No shame in losing 2 of 3 in Washington, but do it. If they win, they're right where they're supposed to be. But this has got to be a 5-5 road trip.

Don Cooper will rest at home the remainder of the road trip.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 01:15 PM) 1-0 Sox Win. One of the best pitching duels hawk has seen since Johan & Freddy. Both pitchers work the inside of the plate all game and Hawk makes sure everyone knows that the only way to be a good pitcher is to pitch inside. Hawk references "nintendo stuff" with axelrod, and also mentions 2 players who he thought had the most intense nintendo stuff in his career. Sudden Sam McDowell and Steve Dalkowski, of course.

6-1, and Johnson is out of there.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:27 PM) AJ's OBP was no great shakes. The White Sox take the power in their park over OBP we need to live with that. Where do they rank as team in OPS that is the issue. 12th at .707. League average .751.

Twins - no lefty starters until Diamond comes back (unless you count Pedro Hernandez) Indians- no lefty starters until Kazmir is ready, if that. Tigers- no lefty starters Royals- no lefty starters So, that's 47% of the schedule.

We need 50 wins by July 8th. Let's make this one of them.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 08:45 AM) Almost every team goes through an 8-game stretch like that during the season. Just so happens the Sox did it during the first 8 games I'll give you that. But the fear that this team just makes too many outs to be a serious contender haven't been disproved yet. I like to evaluate the team every 27 games. We'll see where we are at the end of the month.

I can complain about trivial things with the best of them. A pants stripe is not one of them. I'm more concerned about how mediocre the Sox organization is from top to bottom.

.278 OBP. Last in the AL---and that includes the Astros. Fire Walker...oh wait.

The Royals look like they could be something. They play Toronto next and then hit the road--Atlanta, Boston, Detroit. We'll see.

Win two. Lose two Win two Lose two
