Jose Abreu

As Bennetti is saying, it's not a matter of "who's the closer", but the Sox employing smarter modern logic and using their best reliever against the opposition's best hitters. I like it

Ricky's boys, my friends

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 08:38 PM) Is it me or is it odd to pinch run for the second runner and not the slow guy on 2B? To mitigate the double play possibility. And Abreu is much faster than Davidson, although I know you didn't say otherwise

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 08:37 PM) Has he actually played 1B before? I’m guessing he has, but I honestly can’t recall a time he played there. To be honest, in MLB The Show, his backup positions are 3B and 1B, so that's why I said that

Saladino pinch running over Leury?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 08:34 PM) Who would play 1B if we wanted to pinch run for Abreu? Saladino? Delmonico is my guess since Davidson is DHing

Avi the BABIP king!

After tons of unlucky ABs, nice to see Yoan get one

Nice inning for the guy I thought should have been replaced by Jeanmar Gomez lol

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 08:21 PM) These guys with high K rates can't keep giving up strike one on a bunt attempt Especially with 2 outs

I'm so not used to watching the Sox steal bases successfully, it feels like we just hit a home run to me

There we go TA

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 08:08 PM) This infield defense has a chance to be pretty spectacular. Yoan and Sanchez are always gonna be positives, and Abreu will likely remain in his slightly below average state (luckily, at the least important defensive position on the diamond), but if Tim plays short the way we know he's capable of... man, that is just flat out elite.

Actually not a bad outing overall. Good ending to it

QUOTE (Baron @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 07:23 PM) Your right. I should only look at last year and call it a day. Obviously the rest of his career was an anomaly. Players can't improve?

I agree with you guys, but is it any different than Hawk going on and on about random players from the 60s?

QUOTE (Baron @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 07:19 PM) Garcia shouldnt be playing defense ever...in any game Yeah I hate above average defenders too

Literally just gave them a free out. Might as well have stayed in the dugout

Come on, just groove in those 89 MPH fastballs and let your defense make a play

His mechanics look off too

Patient AB after patient AB after patient AB... I love it

QUOTE (Scoots @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 06:27 PM) Anyone else think the wgn strikezone on the screen is way off? It's too high

Terrific first 2 ABs!

Good job Yoan! Great AB
