QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:44 PM) Looking at 6 losses................. Danks would have 3 I believe Danks' starts are a burden on everyone, from having a struggling offense press even more, to this feeling of deja vu watching him struggle in the early innings. His body language is always terrible, too. You'd think he was pitching scared every 5th day

What are the chances the White Sox could lay down two successful bunts in one inning?

Bad. Real bad.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) 83 mph meatball and jose takes it right there. Why swing at the meatball down the plate when you can lunge over and swing at the curveball six inches out of the zone?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) The team currently has so many players that shouldn't be in the majors. Truly amazing their record is what it is. It's entirely due to the pitching. How many games has the offense bailed out the pitching, one/two? Danks is frustrating to watch and I'll be excited to have him leave next season, but today atleast, he has done all we could expect. Now if he gives up another 3 runs he'll join the blame

There's our Danks!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 02:32 PM) If you have pinpoint control, you get away with throwing 82. If he is off just a little bit, he'll get destroyed. Right now, he isn't off a little bit. Hopetully next inning he will. He doesn't have pinpoint control though. I've seen him miss his spots often. The offense has been terrible, and im not giving Weaver any credit

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 02:28 PM) Us: How the f*** can we not be scoring on Weaver? Angels fans: How the f*** can we not be scoring on Danks? They're both right. I can see Danks givingbup that one HR to give him the loss. I don't want to hear anyone tipping their caps to Weaver after this game either

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) Can't hit a guy with a 94 MPH fastball or a guy with 82 MPH fastball. That's into the territory of not being able to hit some middle of the rotation college pitcher. He'd be drafted as a favor to someone near the 30th round with this stuff

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 02:42 PM) Sit Frazier tomorrow Haaaaaaaaa haha. Yeah Ventura sitting a struggling veteran. If Frazier is sitting it's because he wants to

Now I'm hoping for a run to extend this game to see how many strikeouts Frazier can get. Five? Six? I could see it happening

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) I just wonder where this franchise would be without Jerry reinsdorf and having another owner all these years. We'll find out that answer sometime in the future.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) Free agent hitters just come here and look clueless. Really amazing how often it happens. I think it's more proof of the players we sign, second tier people not overly coveted by other teams and on the downswing of their careers. We don't produce quality offensive players so we're left having to pick them off the scrap heap or via trade

Nice AB for Garcia! If they were more patient this could have happened several innings earlier. Moore isn't conditioned to pitch deep

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 02:04 PM) That long hr be damned, Sands has no place on a mlb roster. His at bats throughout the season have been embarassing. He has the swing of someone swinging a 500 pound bat. Everything looks slow motion

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) The biggest failure of the offseason was not addressing the OBP problem. Outside of Avila, none of the guys we brought in draw a lot of walks. Part of the reason why Alex Gordon made so much sense for us. Can't blame Hahn for that one though. Part of on base discipline involves baseball intelligence. You can't teach someone to have an eye capable of telling the difference between a fastball in and out of the zone, but you can say -- if the count is 2-0, 3-1, take a pitch. Maybe two. Don't be afraid to take a called third strike for someone unable to locate. I don't know how many games I read our box score and there's only one or two walks across the team. It's pathetic

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 01:51 PM) He is pressing so bad Pressing and sucking for a first place team two weeks into the season. He better unwind because it's going to get tougher as the season continues. He just cant hide away like he did in Cincinnati

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) So what do we like better, Dunn V 3.0 or LaDunnzier? Todd LaDunn perhaps?

Frazier has looked worse and worse every AB

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) They should be scoring runs off Moore. The Sox are getting themselves out chasing his s*** pitches. Someone said it best yesterday, Sox are tremendous at getting themselves out without a pitcher even having to throw strikes. You'd honestly wonder at times if they'd be better not lifting the bat off their shoulders

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 01:22 PM) Starting to worry a little bit about Frazier. He gladly accepted the role of National League player who struggles for the White Sox now that LaRoche is gone

God the pen has looked horrendous tonight

I can't find anything on Danks' pitch count, but whoever is pitching these next few inninhs next to shut down their offense. No excuses, not hat tipping, no bed wetting.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 16, 2016 -> 06:50 PM) We're getting a little tired of tipping our caps to everyone. Konerko actually lost his hair due to all the post game hat tipping for opposing pitchers. He loved doing that

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 16, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) LaDunnzier* Someone has to fill the underperforming, National League player role
