QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 08:14 PM) Good to hear, as of course Saturday was the game I missed It was right over the heart of the plate (hanger) that almost any MLB hitter would have hit hard but he still can't lay off the ones way off the plate.

Apparently Melky didn't learn you don't hit the middle of the bag when running to first. That cost him

Looks like he was out

Table Setters

Micah!!

Bauer would walk 80% of batters if they just didn't swing.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) I'd love 7-0. I'd also like to win 20 in a row. But it's not happening. A man can dream!

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 01:51 PM) 9-9 on Sunday night would look good. Do it! I want 7-0 on the homestand damn it!!

4-7 looks horrible. Let's go on a 6+ game winning streak

I am actually hoping we draft him at some point. Would be pretty cool to have a guy that went to my school in our system to keep track of

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 12:32 AM) I'm really intrigued as to the corresponding roster move. If we are taking someone out of the bullpen I could see Putnam, if it is someone to the DL who knows. Or may Petricka had a set back and needs another week? Who knows

I feel like Johnson really hasn't been bad. Yeah he is only batting .208 but his OBP is .321 and has worked the count more then almost any other hitter except maybe LaRoche. Yeah his defense is a bit shaky but he hasn't made an error yet and is making the routine plays. He has also only started 8 games so I don't think it is fair to really evaluate him yet. Let's see how the rest of the month plays out

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 07:59 PM) Kazmir hit Cain in the foot with a slider. No way it was intentional. Nothing like a 100 mph fastball behind the head. Yeah I saw the pitch. Really didn't look intentional to me.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 07:19 PM) I would guess no, since he's pitched for New Orleans and the Marlins the last three years. Probably not an issue though. He's safe.

Astros are in 1st place in the West with a 6-6 record

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 05:45 PM) Because Kazmir threw at Cain early in the game and nothing happened to him or Melvin. I'd love to see this type of spirit and enthusiasm on the White Sox. The home crowd basically won that game for the Royals...you just had the feeling there was no way they weren't going to at least come back and tie it. Escobar is their brother. Ventura and Herrera have his back. Simple. All the Hispanic players on that team are bonded together, with Sal Perez as the father/mentor/advisor despite his young age, the AL equivalent of Yadier Molina. The Royals are simply showing they're not going to be pushed around by anyone in baseball anymore (plus, nobody except his teammates can stand Lawrie). LaRussa did the same thing for years and years and people called him a master tactician/hardass. So be it. Didn't know that. Was it clear he was trying to hit him?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 05:38 PM) If Quintana was going to the DL, Rodon wouldn't be coming up as a reliever. When was the last time he pitched? He could be out of the bullpen for a day or two and then start in place of Quintana. I doubt it but that is the first thing I thought of. I am not a fan of him being here out of the bullpen

Anybody think Quintana will be heading to the DL? Or Noesi?

Wow, Herrera throws behind Lawrie and is ejected. Benches cleared.. Why are they throwing at him again? Is once not enough?

Well, I guess they are giving it right back to us from yesterday

Martinez can't hit the ball that far with his knee, not sure why we are playing back so far

And a weak ground ball by Eaton

Why is he not stealing?

Need to start chipping away at this lead if we want a chance
