That's a single if Melky doesn't dive...

Melky's range is just ugh.

Might be 3-0 if Kepler didn't make the play on Navarro.

Avi's strong.

Navarro can't catch a break.

Mat Latos...9 IP no runs. I know the offenses he's been up against haven't been good, but given the stuff he's throwing, I don't think he can keep anything close to this up.

I'm not sure how Latos keeps getting away with throwing 90 MPH fastballs right down the middle.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) Starting pitching and pen continues to be superb!! Bats with a timely homer. Sucks to see us struggle getting guys in but that'll come as they continue to heat up. Awesome win and Pens win. My jobs done. I'm out lol We probably could have scored 5-6 last night given all the base runners we had. I'm still not sure why McEwing held Melky on Lawrie's double. I thought he would have been safe by quite a bit.

What a goodbye for Kobe. Stealing the Warriors' spotlight tonight lol

He's probably gonna get this inbound pass and get fouled. He'll have a shot at 60.

Kobe's goin' on a chuck fest tonight (the good kind though). Who can blame him?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 11:11 PM) Soooooo, the Red Sox might release Pablo Sandoval if they can't find a trade partner Pablo's only good and in shape in contract years.

Great pitching. Gotta keep beating the Twins while they're down. Let's get that sweep tomorrow.

This ump isn't letting Rodon pitch his game. He's making him come right to the hitters. Anything on the corners isn't really being called a strike.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) Awful 0-2 pitch Gotta go with slider there.

lmao how is that not a strike?

Twins hitters just can't lay off the slider.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) Sands vs RHP is just dumb Why not DH Melky and play Shuck in LF?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) This ESPN article brings the hilarity on multiple levels. I love this though: LaRoche wasn't interested in knowing Drake's grades at all, just how he treated classmates and teachers. He then goes on to say "I tell everybody we weren't smart enough for anything else," Adam says. "For the LaRoches, it was baseball or nothin'." Too f***ing funny. Good f***ing riddance. lol the classic "I'm not smart so my kids are stupid too" line of thought. Great parenting...

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) Disappointed Saul wasn't bumped up to 13 episodes, but oh well. It's awesome and should ramp up on awesomeness the next couple seasons. On a separate note, the Jackie Robinson doc on PBS is must see. You'll learn a couple things you didn't know. It occurred to me that since they show Saul working at the Cinnabon in Nebraska at the start of the season, they have to go through the events of Breaking Bad to come full circle. Knowing Gilligan, he might actually do that. We might be looking at 4-5 seasons here.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:18 PM) To give a non-sarcastic response, it's not that we dislike him for his lack of performance last year, it's that we dislike him for dragging this whole situation out, making a big deal about it, promoting anti-Sox articles, and basically just trying to make the organization look bad. I was ready to give LaRoche a fresh start this year coming out of ST. Sure he sucked last year, but I don't think him hitting .275 with 30 homers would have made us a playoff team or anything. So he wasn't the only reason we failed. If anything, the projections all had him going in for a rebound year. Then the whole Drake LaRoche thing happened.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) There would be a lot more people who like to discriminate against gay people and kill animals for fun that's for sure. Deer would be nearly extinct if everyone was like Adam LaRoche.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) http://www.csnchicago.com/bulls/overcalcul...ng-bulls-season In that Vincent Goodwill piece, it talks about the Kings/Bulls deadline deal that didn't happen and also about how Bulls/Celtics talked about a Butler trade but the Bulls insisted on Jae Crowder and Boston balked. Interesting stuff. Crowder's turned into a good player this year, but I don't think he's near Jimmy's level yet. Sure there were other parts to the deal, but I think Boston missed out on a pretty good trade there. I sure as hell wouldn't have been happy trading Butler. We finally developed a good wing player and we want to trade him away cause he didn't like the coach and maybe rubbed some players the wrong way? The NBA's a superstar league, and Jimmy's as close to that as we have right now. There's no way we should be letting a rookie head coach or a couple of over the hill veterans determine his importance to this franchise.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 11:00 AM) How much of the Butler being a leader / rubbing people the wrong way is an issue because of Jimmy vs. an issue because guys who were better and were used to being better than him aren't now and thus, a little jealous / still look at him as the little guy. http://nba.nbcsports.com/2016/04/12/report..._medium=twitter You think about Jimmy and how he took Dougy under his win. You think about him playing hard and putting in tons of work and leading by example from that perspective. Two major, positive checks from a "leadership" perspective. On the flip side, you think of him publicly calling out Fred, that would be a knock. I've seen some comments from MJD which talk about his concerns on offense. I've always thought MJD was a pretty astute guy and he basically said he's not sure how they will figure out how to solve the offense. Not sure if that is a shot at either Butler / Rose / Hoiberg or more just a shot that the way they play, it just isn't going to work together. Maurice Jones Drew?

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) Sounds like Adam LaRoche is getting out in front of a story that could develop in the future. -"I was only in Bangkok to help those sex workers" -"I brought my friend because he believes in the cause too....right, Blaine? You 'believe in the cause' he he" -"Those videos were for compiling evidence!" -"She said she was 18!" How do we know she was a she? You never know in Thailand.
