Sands is not a 1B...

Oh thank god!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Fastball at 92, change up at 73-75. Wow Almost a 20 MPH difference. When you only throw 92 as reliever, you better have some great secondary pitches.

That throw was a bit nerve wracking after the error.

Ah the curse of the game thread ovation... 1. Home run first time up 2. Gets applauded by game thread 3. Go 0-fer for rest of game

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) Strange that Richards is still in. A good offense would have tagged him for 5 runs by now.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) Bring him back out there for 8. Give Albers and Jones the day off after going yesterday. Yeah try to see if he can get through it. I know he got hit hard around 100 pitch mark against the Rays, but today might be different.

It should be 4-0 right now...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) 2006 Crede was pretty good. His back screwed up his last month but he would have been GG like, 30 homers .300 avg. 100 RBI. He did hit 30 homers that year.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:57 PM) Frazier's wiliness nothing new. I've linked this piece before, maybe multiple times, but it's so good. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-did-tod...ll-those-bases/ He's deceptively fast haha

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) I've been thinking of comps for Frazier, and I think 2006 Crede is an ideal/realistic upside. He's way stronger than Crede. 2006 Crede was pretty much prime Joe Crede. Prime Todd Frazier is gonna hit 35 bombs. That's like hitting 40-45 back in 2006. Crede's the better defender though.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:49 PM) Is it raining on the south side? Cubs game was delayed. Cubs are in St. Louis.

When Chris Sale wants you to make weak contact, he makes you make weak contact. It's amazing how efficient he's been the past two starts. I'd like to see more Ks, but if he starts throwing 7-8 inning outings, I'm fine with it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) I guess I now know why gamethreads focus on the negative. Avila is toast, since that conversation a double and threw out a guy. After the Saladino lovefest, 2 ks. Sounds about right.

60 pitches for Sale through 4. He's looking to go 7-8 innings at this rate.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) Saladino needs to play until he proves he's not good. I kinda think he might be good. He showed a lot of what he has to offer last year. He might be a league average SS in the end, mostly due to his defense. I don't think he's a good enough hitter though.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:52 PM) I think we should have kept Soto I would have kept Soto and signed Navarro.

First K is on 3 pitches. Talk about efficiency.

Why are we playing 2 1 PM games for the next two days? What's the rationale behind that?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) I do a franchise mode with the White Sox but I just put DH on permanently because I hate hitting with our pitchers Same thing happened to me recently! He's hitting .215 for me in my season :/ I wish I could do that in Diamond Dynasty. The no DH thing is a pain, but it makes for more interesting strategy. Especially when you play 3 inning conquest or battle royale games.

Latos looking like 2003 Esteban Loaiza out there. Or he could be the reincarnation of Philip Humber.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:59 PM) Ok, too much Hey I'm hitting .380 with pitchers in MLB 16 The Show! It's possible they could be better!

Good move to keep Jones in since he's only got 9 pitches.

Of course Avi whiffs when everyone else is hitting.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:50 PM) It's the 8th inning. Fine, the last inning they will hit. lol
