QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 02:36 PM) White Sox now 15 runs up on the Angels for most AL runs scored heading into tonight's game against the Yankees. (Hector Santiago 0-4 with a mid 4's ERA, btw). Oakland's 4th, showing how good of a combination of pitching/hitting they have going right now. Twins are 4th, still lacking pitching, what new? Santiago pitched yesterday, didnt he?

Gotta let Carroll finish his gem now that he has a big lead, right?

save some runs for tomorrow guys

feeeel the buuuuurn

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 02:22 PM) Damn what is Semien hitting from the 7th inning on Don't tell me what he hits... tell me when he hits 'em

RAPIST ALERT!

Abreu and Viciedo coming up... gotta bring in a righty to face two guys that MASH lefties.

Maddon's gotta go to the 'pen here.

with the SB, that likely means Abreu will bat this inning.

This is exactly what the bullpen needed. Who'da thunk it... a 29 year old making his major league debut. Such is the Sox '14 season! Go Sox!

that shot off of Price, crap that was hit hard. You could hear the reverb of the impact even in a crowded stadium.

How many pitchers has Cooper actually "fixed"?? Like... 2? The rest were guys who were already pretty good. I remember when the Sox traded for Edwin Jackson, the Sox were saying Cooper could tell he was tipping his pitches and knew how to fix him. He was good for a half season and went back to total suck. I hope Noesi can be at least decent. But the odds of that are nearly zero.

I feel bad (not really) for the Charlotte bullpen guys. Lastnight they had 2 guys throw 3 innings to mimic a starter. Who the hell else can the Sox sign off the scrap heap to eat innings for Charlotte?

I made this last year for the same type of thread..... still works today.

I hope that Gordon's agent has alerted him to the fate of being non-tendered in the offseason. That way, he'll be playing for a contract and hopefully actually hit well.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 07:32 AM) From Espn.com's game preview http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/preview?game...-detroit-tigers Verlander won five straight starts with a 1.88 ERA against the White Sox from July 26, 2011-Sept. 2, 2012, but he's taken the loss the last two times he's faced them. He gave up five runs and 12 hits in an 11-4 defeat July 9, then allowed seven runs -- three earned -- in six frames of a 7-4 loss July 25. Hope we can get to Verlander early. After a pretty up and down year last season, he looks "back" this season. I wouldn't expect much against him today.

There's nothing wrong with having a really good, competitive AAA team. If you have a legit prospect or two down there, they'll get to experience a playoff push and pressure situations at a professional level.

IIRC, Loiaza came back in 2009 out of the bullpen and was topping out at 79 MPH

Man... the Charlotte Knights are going to be tough to beat this year.

Did anyone catch the PUIG vs PENCE PS4 The Show thing on IGN today? Couple things I noticed: - Hunter Pence is TERRIBLE at video games - The game looks identical to 2013 - The IGN host (Greg Miller) said he's from Chicago and dropped a couple "HE GAWN" on some Ks (sox fan??)

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 11, 2014 -> 01:28 PM) LHP Evan Crawford added to Winston-Salem. RHP Terance Marin, who got hammered in two outings this year, was released. Crawford was form the minor league phase of the rule-5, right? Isn't he in his late 20s?
