Chicago White Sox

Alright, really need to get a run here with the middle of the lineup coming up.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) Sounded questionable. Thanks...would be incredible if we missed him.

Anyone know if Gray is starting tomorrow?

GreenSox must be sick to his stomach watching Semien make that throw!

4-0 Sox!!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) 60 pitches already. Get into that pen and blow it up too. Always nice to get into the pen early in the first game of a series.

f***ing Laser by Abreu right! Would love to see Frazier gap one right here.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 09:42 PM) It's been some wait. Clearly you didn't follow the 2015 Sox much ?

Finally some luck goes our way. Time to make them Adam!

I really, really like having Eaton in RF. Each flyball out that way should no longer be an adventure.

1-2-3 inning. Nice work Chris. Now let's get some f***ing runs.

No f***ing walks Chris.

Ball four base hit!!

First base running f***up of the season by the first base runner of the season!!

Guys, sin city sox has been trolling for years. Don't you remember his "extend Beckham" posts from early last season?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 12:52 PM) Avila 8th would break up the righties at the end and Jackson 9th breaks up the lefties (Avila, Eaton, Rollins. Yes yes I know that Rollins is a switch hitter). Yeah, I don't like having three lefties in a row, plus Jackson batting 9th puts a bit more speed in front of Eaton potentially. I don't envision the bottom of our lineup looking like this for very long.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 3, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Man sox got screwed in april. One day off and royals get 5 days off. Sox are going to need to come out strong in april. There will be rainouts in April, I'd rather have less days off and let the team develop some momentum. We all saw how well the team played last year after the extended break due to the Baltimore riots. Save the days off for later in the season when we'll actually need them.

I'm expecting some big things tonight on Walking Dead. To make Negan's unvealing a big deal, they really need to have at least one major death. You got to think one of the four characters captured by Dwight bites it tonight.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 3, 2016 -> 12:16 AM) He does walk a ton, but, 2011 aside, he has less power than Flowers or Soto and strikes out more. Avila's worst season against RHP was last year when he put up a wRC+ of 94 and the rest have been well above 100. Flowers best season as a starter was a wRC+ of 95. There is no doubt in my mind that Avila/Navarro platoon is a significant upgrade over Flowers and largely due to Avila's ability against RHP.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) That scene with Alfred Molina and "Sister Christian" and "Jessie's Girl" is incredible. One of my all-time favorite movie scenes.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 07:53 AM) Need someone on the bench who can catch the ball in the outfield. Thus Shuck Shuck didn't seem like that good of a defensive outfielder to me. Other than solid contact/on-base skills, I don't understand the love he gets around here. Would much rather have Murphy as our left-handed bench bat than Shuck.

I'm actually happy they made this move. I want nothing to do with Ishikawa. Don't care if he's left-handed when he can't hit RHP at a league average level. Sands at least provides one above average skill in that he can hit LHP. He also put up pretty even splits during a strong stint in Columbus last year (SSS I know), suggesting there's at least some potential there. I'd obviously much rather have a legit left-handed bat on the bench (sorry J.B. Shuck), but until we can find said player, I'd rather go with the younger guy with some upside than the older has been.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 04:50 PM) 5th starter type I'm ok with this move. Don't have to give anything but money. Need insurance for Latos. How do you fit him on the roster if you keep Latos?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 12:46 PM) FutureSox.com ‏@FutureSox 10m10 minutes ago Two names still in camp that are just as interesting as who was cut: Jacob May and Phillippe Aumont. They'd be crazy to start the season with May on the 25 man roster. He's another guy who needs to play everyday in AAA to see what you have. While I remain skeptical he's an everyday player at the major league level, we're going to need at least one OF in the near future (when/if Jackson departs) and he's probably next in line for an opportunity. Let's hope he's closer to the player he was last year prior to the concussion than he was after. Also, is this the deepest the Sox have been on the position player front in years? Just off the top of my head we'll have May, Anderson, Sanchez, Davidson, & Coats waiting in the wings in AAA. Those guys can basically fill a hole anywhere in the lineup but catcher. That's a pretty exciting chance of pace compared to how things have been in recent years.
