Chicago White Sox

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) I dislike the 4 out save. I don't the 4 out save had anything to do with it, Robertson just didn't have it tonight.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) a few of those every season. Just wasn't a good time for it. Yup, went from what could have been a big confidence booster to an absolute crushing defeat.

Wow is all I have to say...f*** you Steve Stone for jinxing that s***.

Alright can you guys stop bickering over Duke, s***s about to blow up with Robertson.

Like the 4-out save decision here.

Holy s***, an insurance run!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 26, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) That inning ending stank. He's safe.

f*** yes Eaton!!

Way to go Tumbleweed!

It's like the three f***ing stooges out there!?! How balls can you bobble on one play!?

f*** this team, what a bunch of pathetic b****es.

Did Stone forget Bonifacio is on the team?

I'm just glad we got one out of that inning, could of easily had a goose egg there with those groundouts.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 26, 2015 -> 07:25 PM) Hit a blast Jose Nice call!!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 26, 2015 -> 07:17 PM) Wouldn't shock me if we see Beckham at 2nd and Davidson at 3rd in a few weeks I would be shocked if we saw Davidson at 3B in a few weeks. He has not done enough to earn a look at the major league job.

Lol...I'm not ready to write off Sanchez just yet, but anyone thinking he would be an upgrade over Micah with the bat was out of their mind. Unfortunately, he's just an incredibly limited hitter. He's got utility infielder written all over him IMO.

Sox have six starters in their lineup tonight with OPS's below .625, which is almost impossible to fathom this late into the season. How we are only four games below .500 is beyond incredible.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 26, 2015 -> 07:46 AM) I dragged this team up to .500 once. Can I do it again? Dude, you are our only hope.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 26, 2015 -> 01:01 AM) We score zero runs. Doesn't matter how great we do in the field. Let's start worry about actually hitting the ball. Feels like everyone is mentioning the defense when the offense has been just as bad if not worst. You can't win games when you consistently score 0-3 runs every game. Which is why we need try something to get it going. Shuffle the lineup a bit, moving Melky down to 6th and the 3B platoon up to 2nd. Bench LaRoche against LHP or at least move him well down the order. I would also like to see Kotteras called up and given some playing time at catcher. I'm guessing that he's beyond terrible defensively, but we can't keep starting Flowers on most days when our offense is struggling to score a run. There's nothing to lose at this point, so you might as well see what you have in Kotteras.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 24, 2015 -> 10:16 AM) Even with a good spring training, if you would have told me Hawkins would be at .167 on May 24, I would have believed it. For him to be at .267, with a .335 OBP, is damn good. And hopefully he'll just progress from here. K rate is at about 33%, needs to get that closer to 25% to feel comfortable about his chances at the major league level. Still, I'm not going to complain about a 21 year old in AA with history of contact issue posting those numbers.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2015 -> 06:03 PM) Typically when a team is one of, if not the worst, teams in the Majors in hitting, fielding and base running, they're going to lose a lot of games. If they can't get things turned around, thoughts of contending will be done in a few weeks. Avi being injured highlights just how weak the offense is. Eaton's been far and away the most productive player this week. Need to shuffle some things in the order though, and I would suggest Conor batting 2nd and Melky in the 6-7 range. This is exactly what I suggested earlier in this thread. Move Melky down to 6th and hope he gets going soon.

Flowers is beyond pathetic. And f*** you Ventura for actually letting a guy who struggles to make contact bat in a situation where even a bloop single would tie the game. Why the f*** is Bonifacio on this team if he's not going to be used as a pinch hitter late in games against LHP?

This is like a never ending nightmare. "Here comes Flowers". Why not pinch-hit here??

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2015 -> 05:48 PM) Wait, why is JB batting? God only knows...

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 23, 2015 -> 05:45 PM) Total bases, hits, rbi's, runs, hits all were down. Lol...a bunch of counting stats went down because he played in 25% less games.
