Chicago White Sox

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 01:53 PM) I think the Sox genuinely see something in Drabek as a starter. Looking at his game logs, the Sox have kept his pitch counts to the 80-90 range so it seems they are slowly building Drabek up. Love how he is turning into a ground ball machine. IMO, Drabek is being groomed to replace Samardzija. Edit: figures I spoke too soon. Drabek giving up some hits in the fourth. Dear god no. Let's hope they have something more ambitious in mind to replace Shark than Drabek. If they can get him some starts later this season (if we're out of the race), maybe I could be convinced of him as part of a competition for the #5 spot next year, but under no circumstance should he be in our top four if we're serious about competing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 10:13 AM) This also gives the Sox a legit long man again. I would definitely DFA Noesi as soon as other options (Albers?) are available. Don't need two long guys in the pen and quite frankly Carroll is better suited for the role than Noesi if we did want two for some reason.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 07:51 PM) Awful awful inning for Danks. Didn't give the team a chance at a comeback. Still a lot of baseball left, but getting four more runs is going to be difficult tonight. Also, I think we can alll finally agree that Danks is a lost cause. Dude is broken.

What a f***ing disaster of an inning.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 11:51 PM) only 6.5 back 5.5 behind KC, which is all that really matters. Twins aren't a playoff team and will regress hard soon enough.

Absolutely huge win, gives us a solid chance to take 2 of 3, which is what we need to keep doing to get back into this thing. Also, props to Robin for taking Melky out of the 2-hole and pinch-hitting for Flowers late in the game. We're past the point of worrying about these guys' egos, wins are all that matter.

f*** a challenge, that's a win boys!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 10:16 PM) Yes! We're gonna win tonight. f*** the Tigers. Stop saying this s*** Greg, you are the ultimate jinx.

1st & 3rd, no outs, Abreu up. Let's end this s*** right now! No need to dick around.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 10:14 PM) Eaton should steal here. No f***ing way!

Robin, do not bunt!

Good speed aboard!!

Ball 4 base hit.

Top of the lineup, need to end this now!!!

Is that Petricka coming in?

Real scary that Sanchez is just 12 points shy of an OPS below .400.

I swear every batter the last couple innings has started off 0-2.

Soto walkoff maybe? Seems like that would finally force Robin to give him a bit more playing time at Flowers' expense.

I really wish Sanchez could hit, because he's pretty damn good defensively at 2B. Also, good quick inning by Robertson. Let's get a run here and call it a night.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:50 PM) Should be interesting to see if the pen does the job now that Robertson is done for the night. Unless he goes one more inning which he actually should. He ain't done son.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:49 PM) Now who does Ventura use next? Game becomes a must win. Put Robertson back out there IMO.

I love Adam LaRoche. f*** a motherf***ing Tiger!!!!!!!!!

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.
