Pathetic

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 13, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) I missed it. Did Redick do what he did last night and bunt again? No, soft base hit over where the SS would normally be. I think Ramirez could have caught it

Defensive positioning caused that run.

Poor offense

Good AB for Jose!

Hit and run with Flowers and Garcia?? Lol

This team has no energy right now.. Maybe we should take some of that 5 hour energy that I have see Carlos Beltran promoting every commercial on MLB.TV

After 4 straight balls, Konerko swings at the first pitch and grounds weakly to the SS for a DP

Hawk thinks we are set at 2B with Gordon..

Its so demoralizing to give up runs like that especially in the first

Stupid defense

Seriously, why do we put a mic in this stadium? Holy s***

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2014 -> 09:15 PM) Been a while since they got a hit in the first I swear Conor did last night

Abreu chases too many pitches.. Oakland has to have the most annoying ballpark in the league.. Its hard to even have the volume on while we are batting

Facing a lefty, Johnson grounds out again.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 13, 2014 -> 06:14 PM) Phegley 2-run homer. Johnson grounded out. Saladino in LF. Send him back down

Any line ups out for Charlotte? Curious to see how it shakes out

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 13, 2014 -> 03:52 PM) Promoted to AAA per the Sox Twitter. Will we see him in the Majors this year? There is a thread in the minor league section about his promotion

Would the Jose Abreu cover be in Missouri? Might have to go find it if so

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 13, 2014 -> 03:52 PM) You should never snapthe elbow. That's the ryan/house theory of how to throw it. I've never like that method of throwing the curveball. The knuckle curve is starting to gain popularity again as the spin is imparted to the ball with the finger not wrist position. However, it's more difficult to learn as not a natural motion to "flick" the finger while throwing. Well obviously but a lot of these coaches don't know that and don't teach teens the right way to throw it..

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 13, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) All you need to look at it youth baseball and when kids begin throwing breaking pitches that are not change ups. Not to mention the number of innings they throw. It is completely stupid for youths to throw breaking balls.. The first breaking ball that should be taught is a knuckle-curve. That is the first one I was taught when I was around 14.. You don't have to snap the elbow and really does no strain.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 13, 2014 -> 02:34 PM) Andrews said he used to do the surgery on 3 or 4 HS kids a year. Now he does 3 or 4 a week. Andrews must not sleep.. How does he do so many damn surgeries

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 13, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) Has SoxTalk ever done a group outing? I haven't been here that long so I don't know if that is something SoxTalk has done before but if a mod, or anyone for that matter, could let me know, I would appreciate it. Anyways, I will have my hands on some pretty serious promo codes for an upcoming summer game. I should have the final date and ticket prices soon but I'm thinking there is going to be three tiers (bleachers, outfielder reserves and lower reserves at $10, $12 and $20 respectively). There should be upper deck reserves for $10 as well but it's still getting sorted out. The tentative date is Friday, June 13th against the Royals. All tickets would be purchased through whitesox.com. I am just trying to gauge interest and see if that's something the posters would be interested in. I'd love to hear everyone's opinions and will start a thread if interest is there and the mod team is okay with it. Regardless of whether the site is interested in doing a group outing or not, I will definitely make the promo code available to any posters here who would be interested in a good game at a discounted price. Please let me know what you all think! DISCLAIMER: Moderating team - Please be diligent in correcting this post if it is outside of the site guidelines. I would totally understand if this were to be an issue. I will be coming in town that Saturday afternoon so if you could make it June 15th (Sunday) I would be able to go.

Congrats to Johnson. It will be exciting to see how he does and what happens next

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 13, 2014 -> 01:46 PM) So Adam Dunn should lead off. Gotcha. Why not?? I was leaning towards Ramirez which is way more reasonable
