Same old same old.

With the Tigers losing again we need to win this game. We will only be 3.5 back

Where is the picture?!?!??!

Micah needs to be called up. I don't care who is above him, he is playing too well to keep him down there

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 30, 2013 -> 03:03 PM) It's your dog's fault.

This is horrible. Jesus

wow Jake. wow

Lol saw that one coming. Jesus. Rios needs a damn day off

This is pathetic. All on Peavy with this inning

What the hell Peavy!?

Looks like Paulie stayed out too late last night

Why are we so bad when we get lead off walks? I swear every time we give up a lead of walk they score but we get a lead off walk he never scores

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 30, 2013 -> 01:04 PM) It's not that crazy. 6 for 27 is over .200. 1 for 27 for him isn't as much of a slump as it is for everyone else. It is still horrible. And it makes it even worse that Ventura keeps putting him in the clean up spot while we have Gillaspie who has actually been hitting the ball in the 6 or 7 spot. Gillaspie needs MORE RBI chances, he needs to be moved up in the line up. Dunn needs LESS RBI chances. Switch them!

Adam Dunn is 1 for his last 27.. Wow

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2013 -> 12:09 AM) The thing is, he's not playing everyday....or close to it. He's a platoon catcher in the minors, which is never a good sign. When you have a minor league career OPS of 643, your MLB predicted OPS would probably be 575 if you were lucky, but probably even worse than that. Not many teams can get by with players down in that range (and yes, I realize Keppinger has been doing it for most of the season, Morel/Hudson last year, etc.) I didn't know he was platooning with another catcher. Guess that changes it.. He should be playing almost everyday if they are at all serious about him

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 29, 2013 -> 11:22 PM) Other than Rios, Dunn and Konerko are complete mysteries and Viciedo's far from a finished product offensively....so it's probably too soon to say we don't need to worry about getting power from catcher, Gillaspie/Keppinger, Ramirez, Beckham, etc. Only DeAza and Rios have outproduced what was expected, but its definitely had an adverse effect on Alejandro as a lead-off hitter to starting hitting all those early homers in April/May. Out of the people you named I think Gillaspie and maybe Beckham if he figures it out will be the only players on the team when he is ready for the big leagues. I know we don't know who will be here to give us the home runs but I would much rather have a catcher who can be great on defense and hit for a decent average out of the 9 hole then someone like Flowers. I think catcher is one of the most if not the most important defensive position in baseball. We can see how bad Flowers defense has effected the team. I don't know much about this Gonzalez guy except for him being 22 and him batting over .300 in AA. A lot of players don't do that. So there has to be something there to work with

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 29, 2013 -> 10:15 PM) http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/pro...guel-gonzalez-2 Gonzalez has a career minor league OPS of 643. 10 career homers in the minors. He's going to have to hit like Phegley for a full season of everyday play before anyone starts hyping him as a POSSIBLE future starting catcher for the Sox. He doesn't need to hit a lot of home runs for us. We have enough of that. If he is a stud defensively. and can hit at a reasonable average it sounds good to me.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ May 29, 2013 -> 09:18 PM) He has a cannon for an arm, he shuts the running game down If that is true, I could live with him not hitting many home runs, hitting .260+ if he is still doing this well in AA the rest of the year and in AAA next year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 29, 2013 -> 07:44 PM) He's been in our system so long, at some point, they'll need to make a decision on protecting him...maybe the minor league aficionados are more familiar with his exact status. Is he suppose to be a good fielding catcher?? He is batting .320 in AA ball. And he is only 22. That sounds promising.

lol

Just bad at bats

This team is pathetic.. We are playing the damn Cubs for christ sake

This guy has hit 2 offspead pitches for home runs. Why did he not throw a fastball when he had 2 strikes on him?

Go away Adam Dunn
