Hell of a play for Frazier

Interesting to see the Indians batting Santana 1st

Oh great, Joe West is the home plate ump

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 07:35 PM) Keith Law has Sale ranked as the #47 prospect in the draft. Keith Law sucks

Oh no. Gamethread ritual was ruined, that can only spell bad things

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 23, 2016 -> 02:06 PM) They'll send someone down after the game and recall Johnson. Matt Purke is my guess. Should be Sanchez though. Interesting they allow that on a straight doubleheader with 30 or so minutes in between games

Has anyone seen a release about a move of bringing up Erik Johnson? Because they brought up Kahnle to serve as the 26th man Interesting to see Frazier and Cabrera as the 3-4 hitters with Abreu hitting 5th this game.

If you are going to take the responsibility of starting a game thread you have to be prepared to start multiple threads in a row. We can't wait this long!

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ May 22, 2016 -> 06:10 PM) Is there any reason not to swap Coats and Sands at this point? Can't play 1B? Sands is the back up 1B at this point even though we all know Saladino and Frazier can play it

http://bottlebreacher.com/ This might be something I get one of my groomsman when it comes time

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 22, 2016 -> 04:13 PM) Which is fine, but should make him our backup IF and not our starting shortstop. I definitely don't want to cut Rollins as he seems to bring a lot to the clubhouse, but it's clearly time to give Saladino an extended look. Been saying this for awhile. But some still think Saladino isn't better

QUOTE (harkness @ May 22, 2016 -> 04:02 PM) I'll give it to Ventura... the spring training line up worked out. 5 runs in 3 games... offense has to wake up. 3 runs is still not good at all

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ May 22, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) http://mlbfarm.com/index.php?team=CWS Jason Coats is continuing to mash. He's up to .317 with lots of walks and power. 3-5, HR, 2B, 5 RBI, BB, 0 K, .325 avg

I can't believe we scored with runners in scoring position. It's a minor miracle

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 22, 2016 -> 10:19 AM) Eaton RF Rollins DH Frazier 3B Cabrera LF Sands 1B Lawrie 2B Sanchez SS Avila C Jackson CF Looks like we are really trying to win out there. Sanchez over Saladino?? Sands hitting 5th against RHP? Rollins still in the 2 hole against a RHP? Not to mention Sanchez's SS defense is not nearly as good as his 2B/3B defense.

Anybody see the strike calls against the Angels in the 9th inning tonight?? They were god awful. Why are umps so bad this year

pathetic

Saladino with yet another great AB

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2016 -> 04:06 PM) Nah, rocket 4 inches taller and a lot quicker first step, would have been pretty close

I wonder if Saladino catches that

So who pinch hits for Jackson?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) So Soria this year is getting crushed by righties (.840 OPS compared to .560 by lefties). Jimmy Rollins has an OPS below .500 vs RHP this year, and Avi is at .753 vs RHP. Letting Rollins PH for Sands there is a decision that makes no sense on any level. But Robin wears glasses so he has to be smart

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) Notice once again no one could come close to turning on his fastball over the plate. Team just has mediocre power. KC doesn't have much power but they can still hit a fastball

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) Rather have Avi vs RHP than Rollins Or Avila. We haven taken out Navarro to pinch run in the 8th a couple times this year so I know Robin doesn't care about the 1 catcher thing

Soria isn't even a good pitcher but it doesn't matter for our hitters
