Remember when people were comparing Chris Sale to Randy Johnson? I think he's pretty much there...

That ball was foul by about a foot. Ugh. And LOL Hawk. That was one of the loudest Dadgummits I've ever heard.

Nunez looks like a slow pitch softball outfielder.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 07:06 PM) How is it compared to Butlers? A lot worse. Sprewell had a career .516 TS%. Not absolutely terrible, but below average.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 06:59 PM) Don't forget Spree....Not sure what his fancy TS% was, but he put up numbers back in the 90s. TS% doesn't like Sprewell...

QUOTE (TRU @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 02:32 PM) Diamond Dynasty sucks, im about to sell off all my cards and use the stubs in Road to the Show It's boring as hell compared to UT.

QUOTE (SouthWallace @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) Robertson was filthy! Nice all around effort after the 2nd inning. and Sale goes tomorrow! The shadows help pitchers with a good breaking ball like him.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 07:24 PM) Without digging up the Cubs too much, I'd rather have their timely hitting problem. The White Sox have been downright embarrassing. Yup. It's one thing to screw up your chances. You just know that's somewhat related to bad luck and can't keep happening just based off of probability. But when you never get any rallies started, it's like you never even had a real chance.

There needs to be more boos. This is unacceptable.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 05:15 PM) I wish Robin would tell these guys to start hitting and stop pitching poorly. LOL at blaming the manager for this. It's like people are just watching baseball for the first time. FIREANDTHEPASSION!!! I think a lot of people have an issue with how ST has been handled this year. The players don't look ready and that's not all on the players. The Sox usually don't start great, but this will be the worst start for the Sox in a long time.

We finally hit a ball hard and Mauer makes a nice play. FML.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 05:07 PM) The laid back comfort zone with Ventura has to end, Sox have no sense of urgency ever under Ventura. There's absolutely no urgency in this team. The only times where our offense looked good was when LaRoche nearly got hit twice. That brought something out of us. Other than that, we've been flat as f***. It's basically been ground balls to the SS offensively.

It's hard to imagine we somehow got worse after spending more than $100 million this off-season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Can't imagine the damage this slow start will do to the casual fan. I'm not even watching the game right now because it hurts to see how bad we're playing.

This team is absolute crap.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 04:20 PM) Was I seeing things, or is Ramirez wearing Minnie Minoso's jersey? You're seeing things...unless you can time travel. Yeah he is.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 04:20 PM) Is Hector dealing now? =) Even if he is, he's got maybe 2 innings left in the tank.

I think I'd rather go play video games than watch this game right now...it's brutal.

There's a place for agression on the base paths and then there's stupidity. Micah's been f***ing stupid every time he's gotten on.

Seeing Eaton barely run down the line is a weird site. Unfortunately, if he ran harder, you make that play much tougher for Dozier. And god damn it...

Way to use your speed Micah.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 04:05 PM) http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/spring-training-matters/ Gotta wonder what the hell we were doing in Spring to start out this anemic.

Woah, a 1-2-3!

Classic Flowers. Looks at two hittable fastballs. Strikes out on change-up.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) This morning on the "Kap and Haugh" show David Haugh said that Ventura and Molitor have something in common: They are both managing in the shadow of Ron Gardenhire. I thought this was interesting. I'm not one of these people blaming Ventura and I generally think he's fine. I don't think Gardy is a fit though. He would lose his mind dealing with Chicago media every day and he has absolutely no interest in using analytics/metrics. Doesn't seem like a Rick Hahn move. Most likely just dump speculation on Haugh's part. Thoughts? This is very true. Part of Ozzie's downfall was Gardenhire's Twins kicking our ass every time.
