QUOTE (joegraz @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) Coulda done without that. Ignorance is bliss.... Hey we won with Gonzalez. Offense just has to show up tomorrow.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) Haha Jays fan on their board just said he'd "seriously consider" trading Bautista for Eaton 1-1. No s*** you would... They need a lead off hitter pretty badly too.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 10:47 PM) Put this on the bulletin board Q That was Donaldson letting it fly post game. feels good man, for once it's the Sox leaving other teams second guessing themselves and reeling. Quintana has had a good start to the season? Try the last 3 years man... Q's even underrated by his fellow players. SMH.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) 10 runs given up in 6 games against the Rangers and Jays. Unbelievable. And half of those were in one game...

Great location on the fastballs to Bautista and EE.

Stone brought up tracking how many pitches pitchers throw in certain counts, like when they're behind in the count. Which reminds me of how much he talks about how certain pitches are more stressful than others. Maybe they should come up with a stat called stressful pitches to try and gauge just how much energy a pitcher exerts over the course of the game. Pitch count in itself is sometimes deceiving.

Nice job by Jose to pitch out of that.

Eaton showing off the range.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 12:35 PM) Rich Hill is starting to look like his crazy 4-start stretch last year wasn't a fluke. Billy Beane's gonna flip him for a decent prospect at the deadline. I can see it already.

I don't think I could have come up with a more unlikeable duo than Cruz-Fiorina. Nobody in congress likes Cruz (same can be said for a lot of the general population) and I'm pretty sure Fiorina has no soul.

Gotta be greedy when things are going well. Let's get that sweep! Oh and Danks goes tomorrow, so a win would more or less avoid a two game losing streak.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 10:42 AM) And the Ken Giles trade is up there with the Shelby Miller trade for just remarkably stupid trades that made no sense at the time and are looking terrible in hindsight too. The Giles trade made sense. The Astros has a lot of issues in the bullpen last year. What didn't make sense is how they used him this year...as a setup man instead of a closer. I don't know if that messed him up mentally or what, but he's been awful this year.

This offense is amazing right now. Sale finally got his run support.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Buxton has been up and down a lot in his young career so far. Kind of like Aaron Hicks...

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 01:02 PM) Current Sox players batting .303/.358/.687 against Dickey. Rollins, Melky, Frazier, Jackson and Abreu have all teed off on him, Abreu has hit 3 HR in just 9 PA, overall this group has hit 9 HR in just 99 AB against Dickey. Source It really depends on which Dickey you get. If he's got the good knuckler going, you never know.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) Not everything is about you. This is about Chicago White Sox - our faithful brethren and poster. He's the GOAT OP. Good morrow to him once again. Wonderful avatar from you sir. I would expect nothing less from you. f***ING LIKE A CAT!

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) I dislike not having csn pitchtracker. Yeah all broadcasts need that (except for ESPN's K Zone overlay, that's unnecessary). I also wouldn't mind having statcast stats (exit velocity, launch angle, etc.) on replays.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) 8 DRS already too, and the eye test definitely backs up both metrics. Some of his reads and jumps are amazing. The triple play the other day was a great example. A mediocre RFer probably doesn't get to that ball without a good jump.

8.1 UZR right now. That's absolutely crazy for being so early in the season. But then again, sample size.

I'd be fine with 3-4 years. 5 at max. It's so awesome to have a guy who can lock down 3rd base for us.

I didn't get a chance to watch the West Brom-Spurs game. What happened? I saw Spurs went ahead on a own goal and kind of expected them to roll WBA. I might actually wake up at 8 to watch the Leicester game on Sunday.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 09:47 AM) Yep, Viciedo likes Japanese baseball http://npb.jp/bis/eng/2016/stats/idb1_d.html https://twitter.com/Kazuto_Yamazaki/status/...958270151086082 Maybe he'll be one of those guys that figures it out in Japan and comes back to the US and tears s*** up.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 11:47 PM) I think you and you changing your avatar is why we won! Well I just changed it again...and for good reason

This win really sets the tone for the road trip. Winning a series in Toronto is a tough task, but I think we've got a decent chance of doing that with Sale and Quintana going the next two games.

Wow I kind of gave up on this game after it was 5-1. Offense was a pleasant surprise.
