Chicago White Sox

Tie game b****es!!!

Odds Alexei swings at the first pitch in this coming at-bat? 80% or higher?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:26 PM) Not against a LHP Good point.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:25 PM) Eaton has been hitting pretty good in May & June. He's probably the guy you want up in this situation if you simply want a base-hit. Well it looks like I jinxed that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) That doesn't mean I'm enjoying it. My money from watching this is paying for it. Are you actually at the game? If so, hopefully they can get you a win tonight.

Holy f***, Robin must be reading Soxtalk, as several were b****ing about him not pinch-hitting for Flowers. And look, it actually worked! And because of that I will say "hey Greg, go f*** yourself"!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) No. I wanted to watch this team succeed. I would have been cracking up at how wrong I was. It would have been the opposite laugh of 2013 when I thought we had that division in hand and man I'd have loved being wrong in that direction. I'm saying because he's a roider.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) This one actually makes sense to me. Beckham has the 3b slot and I'm ok with that he's earned it. Bonifacio should be taking LaRoche's spot in the order against lefties, with someone like Abreu or Cabrera moving to DH, but LaRoche is taking 1b while Abreu's hand is still hurting. I'm ok with this, it's an injury issue, that's what you've got to do. This is the time when LaRoche in the lineup against a LHP is ok. The problem is the other 15 games prior to May 20. Whether it's LaRoche, Melky, or Sanchez, there is no excuse for Bonifacio not starting against a LHP.

I thought Putnam was injured? Isn't that why he couldn't pitch last night?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:11 PM) I will not say it. You must be loving watching him struggle.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) That Cabrera signing could be one of the worst free agent acquisitions ever made by the White Sox. Lol...that's quite the statement after two months.

Why the f*** is Bonifacio not playing against a LHP? He is a complete waste of a roster spot if they're going to use him.

Just a dreadful at-bat by Melky.

Here we go boys, let's get another right here.

Way to go Avi!! f*** a Tiger!!!

Quintana better stop f***ing around here if he wants the win. Expecting this offense to score him more than two runs is insanity.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) Seems the entire AL Central other than CLE in slump mode. Royals 2-7 and the Tigers have last seven in a row....2-11 or 2-12, etc. Everyone fears that Indians starting rotation. The Twins are struggling?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 11:03 PM) and that's the game. Jennings is not worthy of a roster spot. I guess you deserve to lose when you intentionally walk DeShields Jr. Oh well, at least our bench is fresh. No excuse for letting Flowers bat twice in extra innings. I know Robin has his fans here, but the dude is a horrible in-game manager IMO.

Well that sucks. While Jennings is worthless, can't blame anyone but the offense.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 10:55 PM) Not sure why people continue to say Eaton is a problem he is hitting .275/.345/.451 over the last month Eaton has over a 100 wRC+ for May & June.

7.54 ERA, it has to regress to the mean right? Not sure what number is, but it's got to be lower than 7.54.

I'm sorry, but Flowers may be the worst hitter in baseball. Dude f***ing sucks.

f*** yes!!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 10:24 PM) Melky is just bad. .235 average in the 2 hole. Use someone else!! He'll need to play to get out of this funk, but Christ sake move him out of the two-hole!
