Chicago White Sox

Come on Avalin, get out of this jam!

QUOTE (aryzner @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 11:04 PM) This is so White Sox of them to do nothing against a guy who's been knocked around by every other team he's faced this season so far. This literally happens every year. It is a constant. Poor advance scouting?

Nine groundouts for Mengden tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 10:51 PM) He's consistently had the best at bats this year. At least he is dangerous at the plate. He’s definitely impressed me this year. The improvement in the quality of his at-bats vs. last year is significant. The average is a bit deceiving too as he’s gotton super unlucky on balls in play. He’s definitely an improved player.

That sucks, at least it was moderately exciting.

I’ll definitely take that start for having not pitched in 8 days and facing a pretty good lineup. Lopez doesn’t deserve a L tonight, let’s seeif the bats can wake up and prevent that from happening.

I’m f***ing done with this dude, OMG that was cringe worthy.

Yolmer has probably been the most impressive player on the Sox this year.

QUOTE (Richie @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 10:19 PM) We're having good AB's vs Megden and putting the ball in play. Hitting a good chunk of em hard. I think we'll break through here soon. Need Lopez to stay the course. Keep the pitch count from getting too out of hand. Are you the guy who claims to be the jinx? Because if so, you may be on to something

Could use a Davidson bomb right about now.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 10:10 PM) Not sure how PC it is but it caught me off guard for sure I’m just kidding, but what did he say? Seems like an odd thing to make a joke about.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 10:08 PM) Steve Stone just made a Katrina joke Too soon?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 10:05 PM) I didn't realize he has 0 walks to start the year. He's making Matt Davidson look like Joey Votto. His start this year is much more troubling than Moncada’s IMO. Not only is Avi’s BABIP regressing to the mean, but he’s also picking up his old bad habits.

Good thing we sacrificed that out to get Engel to 2B. I can tolerate losing during a rebuild, but can we at least do it with sound decision-making & fundamentals.

And I hate being negative, but another groundball for Avi. He’s in a lot of trouble if he doesn’t find a way to get some loft on his balls and fast.

When does our front office / analytics department explain to Ricky why bunting is generally a bad idea?

Gotta love playing for one run in the top of the 3rd. Ricky you da greatest!

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 09:54 PM) Noodle arm is better than not getting the ball in. Now Engel redem yourself with a single. There’s your single from Engel!

Lopez just hit 98 on the gun and then Engel just hit 68 with that noodle arm throw.

Why would you make the third f***ing out at 3B? And now Engel leads off our next inning.

This team is fundamentally challenged...

Benetti is really annoying with all these jokes, it’s amazing how much I’m able to zone him out though.

Ugly nights for Gonzalez & Yrizarri.

Lopez is going to be a little rusty tonight given he hasn’t pitched in eight days. At least the stuff looks great so far.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 09:27 PM) If he's gonna be a .500 OPS guy, he better be making plays that most CFs don't make, or at least properly stopping balls. He has to be the worst player in the league Only 24th in negative fWAR, just ahead of Avi
