Fisher had to leave the game for Kanny. Hopefully nothing serious.
Given his injury history, I'm a bit concerned by this news.

Rob Young @RobertHYoung 44m44 minutes ago Something has clicked for Adolfo. Spoke to him before the game and he knows it. Got some quiet swagger and playing with a lot of confidence
He fought off some tough pitches and with 2 strikes shot a 1B thru the infield oppo way. Scout next to me said "couldn't do that last year"
Hope he stays healthy.

11 game hitting streak for Micker Adolfo..
Time for a Hawkism...
HELL YES!
If he stays healthy, he'll be in W-S soon.

I don't think Hansen will be far behind.
Likely not until after the All Star break... no need to rush him.

Add Kevan Smith to the list of guys hitting really nicely at Charlotte
Hopefully he'll eventually learn how to hit in Chicago.

Would you have picked anyone different?
Just one minor difference. You have Basabe as an Honorable Mention. Luis has been playing well as of late, but he got off to a very rough start.
I'd put Booker ahead of Basabe.

Until last year we hadn't had a good April in a long time.
Very true. Probably shouldn't have specified "start."
But this team has a habit of playing well enough to get people believing. Sooner or later, reality sets in.
- Two years ago this mediocre team won 7 or 8 straight at the end of July. Instead of trading Samardzija and others, they stood pat. Once the deadline passed the team crumbled.
- Robin's first season as manager... need I say more?
- We are rapidly approaching the 20th anniversary of the White Flag Trade. THAT TEAM SUCKED. Anybody who seriously thought that group had a shot at the postseason was either high or stupid. It wasn't a great trade, but it was one that needed to be made.
Starting pitchers only play once every five days. No matter how good Chris Sale was/is, he has ZERO impact on 80% of his team's games.
Making that trade was the right thing to do.

Let the rebuild continue...slow and steady.
Mark
Absolutely... STAY THE COURSE
This start is fun, but it's fools gold, like it is every year.
Need more quality offensive prospects.
The more I see of Davidson, it is becoming easier to see why he was such a highly touted prospect at one time. His talent is obvious. Unfortunately, so are his flaws. He really needs to work on hitting the off speed stuff.

It seems like there has been a ridiculous amount of postponements with the White Sox MILB affiliates thus far. Is it mostly just a drainage, grounds crew, facility, funds thing or just really, really bad weather.
A LOT of rain in the Carolinas. All should play tomorrow.
