Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 07:25 PM) If the Sox get out of this, and let's say they don't score next inning, Rondon pitches the 12th, really who comes in to pitch the 13th? Do they put in one of the starters? Giolito, Gonzalez, Leury are probably the best options

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 07:19 PM) Soria couldn't go another inning? He pitched yesterday

QUOTE (Chris Sale @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 06:58 PM) Why not bring in Avi here? It's not Engel batting so it's not as big of a deal

Will Soxtalk still be up by the end of this game? Jason said a couple hours... 2 hours ago

His defense alone gives him value

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 06:32 PM) We are running out of pitching Giolito hasn't thrown in a week, just give him an inning or two and call it his side session or something. Hell, even throw MiGo out there after that short outing yesterday.

I think that's 5 stolen bases today?

Why is Avi not batting?

Quite the roller coaster game...

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 06:22 PM) Was Luis Avilan this bad in LA? No, he'll be fine.

Not a Renteria fan but when you only have 2 good relievers, and 1 of them is the one who gave up the home run, it's certainly not all on him

What did you guys expect?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 06:11 PM) What’s the point of having Jones if he’s not going to come in the game in a 2 run contest? My guess/hope is he's closing today

QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 05:51 PM) Pretty nice line from Yoan today. I'll be good if he averages this for the rest of the year If he averages this for the rest of the year, he's an all-star lol

Now it's Tim who is suffering from bad batted ball luck

This pitcher doesn't come set, ever. Appears to be constantly balking

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 05:24 PM) He's had some defensive miscues.... That isn't a lack of effort, necessarily. And I actually think his defense looks better this season, albeit in a limited sample

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 05:23 PM) Abreu's effort shouldn't be in question, for sure. Was it ever?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 05:17 PM) Love seeing this from Moncada and TA with the patience Speaking of patience, hopefully the newer posters and such have that word in their vocabulary this year since they were so up in arms already barely 10 games in. At least from what I've noticed, it's not necessarily newer posters who have been overreacting

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 05:08 PM) Good thing Ricky keeps playing for one run early in games with Mariano and company in the pen The Leury bunt from earlier was so helpful!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:36 PM) When do publications start taking Zavala seriously as an offensive prospect? I know he’s somewhat older for a prospect, but the dude has hit at every level. His numbers so far at AA are ridiculous and he’s only improved them today with a 2/3 performance with a 2B. Even if he can’t catch, he may very well have a future at 1B/DH. To be fair, I wouldn't even say Zavala is older for a prospect, as minor league catchers generally are older than the league average anyway.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 11:08 AM) Leury is 27 as well. I am fine with keeping Leury out there, but Trayce is a better option than Engel who IMO is in way over his head. The only reason Engel was acceptable was his D, which has been rather poor so far this season. Tilson has done nothing to deserve a call up at this point. The difference is Leury is an actual MLB player, while Trayce is just not good. I do agree that he's a better option than Engel, but unfortunately I think we're stuck with him for a while.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 12:07 PM) Today's lineup: 1. Yoan Moncada (S) 2B 2. Yolmer Sanchez (S) 3B 3. Jose Abreu ® DH 4. Nicky Delmonico (L) LF 5. Matt Davidson ® 1B 6. Leury Garcia (S) RF 7. Welington Castillo ® C 8. Tim Anderson ® SS 9. Adam Engel ® CF I like that

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 10:53 AM) I agree about Trayce. When I saw he was DFA'd yesterday, thought the same thing. Why not give him a shot? Because he's 27 and there's no point in giving him ABs that could go to someone who might have a future here (Leury, Tilson, etc)

Day off for Basabe
