Who is the GM who engineered that signing? He's right up there with the Phillies GM.

QUOTE (AlSoxfan @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) Lucroy would be a dream but why do you call him a cheater? I'm sure Stan was referring to Braun as the "cheater".

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 11:27 AM) LMAO. Take your Royal blue colored glasses off for a minute. Who was the guy Eaton got into it with? He got 7 games. If Eaton started it he would have at least received a fine. And as long as you are calling something imdisputable fact, why don't you take a break from kansascity.com and link some of those incidents as proof Adam Eaton is a bad guy and Ventura just an innocent victim. The only source that said Eaton started it was Harold Reynolds. Eaton told people he was yelling at himself. .....And Harold Reynolds has his own agenda. Not worth listening to.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 11:05 PM) i am not going to be making this about anyone but me, but i am wondering, was i wrong about this team? going into the season, i was sure, this team as assembled, would be doing better, much better. i think, looking at the roster on paper, they have the horses to get it done, but where is the problem? The horses are the problem.

K. Walker has come back. Hitting in the .240's with 7 bags.

Saw the end yesterday but missed a couple of innings mid game. Why did Micah leave early? Never heard.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Micah did earn a spot. Carlos has had 103 ABs in the majors. He has a .280 OBP, .591 OPS, 26 strike outs. He hasn't really set the world on fire in the majors either. Difference is, Micah is much faster and has drawn the same amount of walks in 1/4 of the PAs. I think Sanchez deserves more of an opportunity than that initial stretch last year after his late season call up. He might have had some rookie jitters. I would rather have him on the bench than Bonifacio.

Sometime last year I thought Quintana was turning into a junk ball pitcher.....Now he is one.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) If Micah is going to sit against tough lefties he should be in AAA. If he's the future at 2B he's going to be a regular. Regulars play against tough matchups. It's why they are regulars. Of course, on the evidence, he's not a MLB ready 2B. So yea, not only is he not playing every day in the hopes he can improve against tough lefties, he's not in AAA either. Good job White Sox you've completely f***ed it up! Meanwhile all Sanchez does is outhit Micah in spring, play an elite 2B in his cup of coffee last year, and he gets sent to AAA. After Ramirez' comments today they might have a full on mutiny on their hands. What were his comments?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) i just uploaded the tag to Youtube. HE WAS OUT You're correct. He did tag him on the foot. Still a lousy play and Robin has to take the bullet. We'll probably never know if Hahn even discusses it with him.

Somehow infielders have evolved so that they are now afraid to make a tag.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:30 PM) Am I the only one who has given up on Davidson? It was a good trade idea, just poorly scouted. Don't pile on Davidson.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:02 PM) There's just a shocking lack of offensive potential in the farm. The gap from Anderson to next best offensive prospect is huge. Thankfully the pitching depth is very good. That's been said for many years now.

How much longer before the Matt Lindstrom experiment ends? Same question with Brad Penny.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:38 PM) I don't mind caught stealings unless its against a catcher with a gun . Micah needs to learn pitchers pick off moves. He's got a long way to go to really utilize his speed. Eaton makes a lot more baserunning mistakes than most would think he does. That trying to stretch a double into a triple with 2 outs is just wrong on so many levels. Never make the 3rd out at 3rd base is a base running rule because you're already in scoring position and probably will score on any hit because you get the huge jump with 2 outs. You have to trust your team mates behind you to get the job done. It's just Eaton trying to pad his triples stats and it's extremely stupid and selfish. You keep the inning alive and who knows maybe Cabrera hits a HR or gets a walk or hit and Abreu hits one out. It isn't unheard of for teams to have 2 out rallies. Right on. Wonder if RV said anything to Eaton...

six K's to end the last two innings.

Robertson has the biggest thighs in the league. Must like the squats.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) do you remember the huge argument between big Frank and Robin had. it leaked in the papers. both were players and teammates. no. what happened?

I would not trade Rodon for six Longorias.

QUOTE (VAfan @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 10:35 PM) Kirk Gibson for manager? No way, though I'm not a fan of Robin Ventura's managing. Only reason I'm posting here is my son had a "Kirk Gibson moment" in Little League a couple of years ago. It was a LL playoff game, AAA level, and my son's team was tied going into extra innings. While at bat, he fouled a ball off his instep and fell down in a heap, writhing in pain. He lay their agonizing for a seeming eternity. Then he slowly got up and tried to put a little weight on his foot. He could barely limp around to walk it off. But, he was going to tough it out and step back in the batter's box. He's a lefty, like Gibson. But he's always been the shortest player on his team. On the next pitch, with a man on base, he hit the ball over the center fielder's head!! It wasn't a homer, and because he couldn't run, it was only a double. But it drove in what became the winning run. His team went on to win the championship. And my son had his "Kirk Gibson moment." Great story. Did you tell him the background?

Kirk Gibson got worse and worse as a Manager, making some really bone-headed decisions his last two years.

When will the Matt Lindstrom era finally end?

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) Pretty stoked to have Plawecki push out Flowers in a couple months. wai whaa Okay, I'll bite. Who is Plawecki?

The over/under on the twinkies was 71. Should have taken the under.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 01:49 PM) That most definitely WON'T happen. There won't be any knee jerk reactions from Hahn...not in the first week of the season. And they're 100% not in a position to add to the payroll. Bringing up Rodon won't add anything significant to payroll. Let him start a couple of games at Charlotte. If he is lights out, bring him up. If Sox continue playing like this, someone here (LDF?) will soon be talking about the 2016 draft class.
