QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 24, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) fairly hard hit ball to the left side of the infield and right in front of Lawrie at 2B. For some reason he's off on contact (probably had no idea where the SS was) and is easily caught in a run down. At the same time, Avi is off 1st base and gets thrown out. Not really Avi's fault IMO, Lawrie hung him out to dry. QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 24, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) Lawrie was on second base. Avi hit a grounder to Lindor, the shortstop. Instead of going back to the base, Lawrie took a step forward and froze, and then got thrown out at third base. Avi ran too far past first base at the same time and the Indians then threw and tagged him out too. All in all, it was probably one of the worst baserunning gaffes I've ever seen. Thanks!

And that is a reason why Saladino should be the starting SS until Anderson comes up

Took a shower, what happened with Avi/Lawrie?

This offense needs to be woken up, I am almost ready for Anderson to come up at this point. Hit him 9th and let him earn his stripes

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 24, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) sale really had a hard time putting guys away tonight. Lots of contact, even if it was foul. Not a ton of swings and misses You do realize he has been doing that all year right? His swings and misses rate is down and contact rate is up

f*** Avila, stop being lazy

Now a home run to freaking Chris Gimenez. Just a bad game and of course it comes against the Indians

Great, now we have to score 4 runs.. This is not going to end well

This is taking way too long..

f*** the Indians.. 3 straight 2 out hits..

Ramirez sucks

Bourgeois has been doing really well. Anderson 1-3 with a walk as well

Abreu got a hit!!

He gone!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 24, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) Rollins has a .483 OPS against RHP, making him arguably one of the worst hitters in baseball against such pitchers. Throw in defense and no logical argument can be made for Jimmy over Tyler. I don't use stats a lot so don't ruin my thunder!

Lead off home run!!

I love how Sale is changing speeds so much 92-97

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 24, 2016 -> 07:07 PM) Let's go with a strange platoon of Saladino against righties and Rollins against lefties. That is the way to go but Stryker can't realize that for some reason

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 24, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) Charlotte has a fun team. Davidson, Delmonico, Anderson, and Sanchez on the infield. Hayes at DH. May and Coats in the OF. They have a solid team.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 24, 2016 -> 06:32 PM) One bad game? Have you looked at Saladino's entire body of work? Rollins has a significantly better OBP and OPS in a greater number of at-bats. Given that Tyler's numbers plummeted with increased exposure last year, I believe the same would happen this year if we let it go on. So that gap should widen. Also, despite his speed, Saladino's produced no steals, and been caught twice. Once due to an awful slide. His one advantage is defense, and I reject the notion that Rollins is so bad that his offensive superiority doesn't cover it. Can't compare Saladino and Rollins numbers offensively for the year, Saladino has had a small sample size and has produced a lot better ABs. I don't know why you love Rollins and his awesome .230 average and .179 AVG, .228 OBP, and .483 OPS against RHP. Sure looks like a guy who should be starting against RHP right now. Look at the stats please. And don't give me the bulls*** that Saladino's numbers weren't good last year as a ROOKIE. Oh and just for comparison: Tyler's Stats against RHP last year: .230 avg, .259 OBP, .585 OPS Saladino isn't the answer at SS but he is the best option currently against RHP.

QUOTE (ron883 @ May 23, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) 2 hr for Delmonico. He is absolutely destroying AA. He is only 23 too. Do we have a legit hitter in the making? Probably not but he should be in AAA like yesterday.

I guess it will probably be Shuck, nothing exciting

He needs to stop swinging at the inside pitch until they get it in the strike zone

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 23, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) Johnson just got optioned back to Charlotte. Wonder who is coming up? Another pitcher? Shuck? Hayes? Coats? Bourgeois?

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ May 23, 2016 -> 10:23 PM) Yeah, just a "utility" guy. Unfortunately, some fans are getting a little tired of those "utility" guys in their starting lineup. Like you said, hopefully he can revert to that role and Anderson can be a legit starter for us. He is the bridge to Anderson and then Saladino should have a great career has a utility man
