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.

Gonzalez has looked good against everyone except Donaldson, Bautista, and Encarnacion.

At least Gonzalez can get his velocity up to around 92.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) Jays lineup is murders row They have 3 guys capable of putting up .400+ wOBAs and one who's going to put up at least .350 with good defense at SS. Most teams would be glad just to have one...

Gonzalez made some bad pitches to EE and Donaldson. Can't hang pitches over the plate against these guys.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 02:02 PM) Yup. That entire team other than Altuve and Correa is fools gold. Springer's pretty good. They look like a .500 team if their pitching doesn't get back on track.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 03:05 PM) I would definitely rather have Quintana personally Yup. If Stroman's a 1, then Q's easily a 1.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 02:03 PM) My news service subscription just said torn acl. No idea why they're reporting on that, but there you go. Other reports say torn MCL.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 01:26 PM) I demand you change your avatar for this series at the very least. All in favor? I was just thinking about that. But I'm afraid to change it with all the good luck so far this year. Edit: Done

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) They'll obviously be better than they have been, but Keuchel's velocity loss is pretty concerning and Gomez just looks completely done. If Keuchel doesn't pitch like a #1 and Gomez continues to be horrible, the Astros are just a .500ish team. Truth of the matter is that the Astros haven't been all that great since their hot start last year.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 01:21 PM) His ERA is pretty high for a #1-2 and he doesn't strike that many guys out. However, he still is very good. I feel like he's being seen as an ace by a lot of people when he's probably a #2 at this point.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 01:00 PM) http://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2016/4/25...warriors-game-4 Not new news, but this would make you believe he's out at least a minimum of 15 days, potentially longer, depending on the extent of the sprain. So what you're saying is, Golden State should go to 7 games on every series until the conference finals?
