Dunn in the Outfield
QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2014 -> 11:57 AM) Just because I'm in love with this picture, this is some of the alternative outfield excellence

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:43 AM) I think he meant he is streaming FROM his phone to Chromcast, not simply streaming netflix using phone as the remote. You can't stream from the phone. Chromecast doesn't work that way. It literally takes the link from the phone, goes to it and streams the video.

Slow pitch softball thread
I absolutely hate playing with the wind blowing in. It kills my power and forces me to change my swing. It's not a bad thing to swing for liners and ground balls, but it really screws with me psychologically. The results are usually pretty bad...

White Sox Winner!
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 6, 2014 -> 12:54 AM) With how clutch that Semdog Millionaire has been, it's hard to believe he leads the team and is near the top of MLB in strikeouts. The dude either strikes out, or gets a big hit, apparently.

QUOTE (TRU @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:36 AM) Jose Abreu isn't even in the game straight from retail. He wont be added until an official roster update, which I believe is happening on the 8th. So again, no Jose Abreu right out of the box. Konerko is the Sox 1B for the time being. Abreu's in the PS3 version though right? It's been a whole month, he should have been added a while ago. Same with Tanaka.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 5, 2014 -> 04:46 PM) My chromecast is also right next to the router. Your router must not like your Chromecast or you got a faulty Chromecast. Like someone mentioned before, it has nothing to do with the WiFi on your Galaxy S4, your S4 is nothing but a remote and an initiator of the stream, whatever WiFi issues it may have doesn't affect how the video quality is on your Chromecast.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:08 AM) OS rosters always come with two things. A generated player face and not a picture. Unrealistic player faces. Does Jose Abreu have a picture in the game? Does he look like Jose Abreu? My interest in the game this year entirely revolves around him. lol Jesus Christ Steve, do you have to stare at Jose Abreu's face while you're playing? He won't have a picture in this game, even in the official rosters. It's just how it is with players who haven't appeared in the game before. I'll go pick up the game later tonight.

White Sox Winner!
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 5, 2014 -> 11:29 PM) Another ugly save. Not only does Lindstrom not have his usual plus stuff (95-96 MPH fastball), he also has pretty terrible control. It's a bad combination. I'm surprised he's not been hit harder.

Back by popular demand...Puig 2014
QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2014 -> 10:33 PM) I didn't know anyone was criticizing Puig for trying to make a catch I don't want to see guys on my fantasy team going balls out on defense and getting hurt. lol

OVA! Pretty s***ty game, but a win's a win.

Semien's only hitting .220, but he's a much better option in the two hole than Beckham. I've been saying this all along, just put Alexei there.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 5, 2014 -> 10:49 PM) K Zone had all 5 pitches to ADA as strikes. Something's off with that then...cause that first ball to him was nowhere near the zone.

NBA Thread 2013-2014
QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2014 -> 10:05 PM) I'd really like the way Ariza would look in the Bulls lineup I don't know if he can replicate what he did this year shooting the ball down the road. If he can put up a .560 TS%, then yeah, he'd look great. But I'm not sure he can do it again given what he's done in his career.

5/5 at Cubs
I think we got a break on that replay, but I don't know if it was 100% conclusive that his foot did come off the bag. That's the thing with overturning a play. Unless it's obviously conclusive, it's hard to overturn.

Anybody know if Gamestops are going to be open tonight for the release?

5/5 at Cubs
De Aza back to the leadoff spot eh? I also cringe at the thought of Dunn in LF. This has to be one of the worst outfields in all of baseball with Dunn and Viciedo at the corners.

Jose Abreu wins AL Player of the Month and Rookie of Month
He definitely deserved the AL ROTM over Tanaka. I'm not sure about Player of the Month though. Abreu was 12th in the AL in wRC+, behind both Adam Dunn and Dayan Viciedo.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 5, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) Does it get choppy after the video starts? Chromecast has it's own wifi, so it really shouldn't matter if your phone sucks unless it's a command issue. Yeah for whatever reason, my parents had a hard time setting theirs up correctly since the Chromecast was fairly far away from the router. I don't have such an issue since my router is on my TV stand.
