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

Jackson just can't seem to hit deep fly balls at the right time.

This is the second time the Sox have piled it on in the 9th in a Latos start.

lol at Giovitella's "throw"

Melkman to the rescue

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Shouldn't that fan be tossed Considering he just got us an out, maybe not

If the fan hit Melky or the ball in any way, he should be out.

Wow f*** that guy who interfered with the play.

Way to squeak out of that inning clean.

I think there's a chance he was safe there. Navarro tagged him pretty late.
