QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) Keith Law has no White Sox bias. This is absurd. Michael Kopech is his 7th ranked prospect in all of baseball and #1 pitching prospect in the game. Law wasn't high on Moncada or Cespedes either. One prospect doesn't mean that he has no odd anti-Sox trend about him lately.

Wind might make this crazy if it's played.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 09:43 AM) I roll my eyes at Keith Law a lot, but he's not that high on Robert. Surprise, surprise. Lately, it seems like anyone with even the furthest ties to the White Sox isn't too great in his eyes. And any mediocre former Sox prospect, like Tatis Jr, is the next Trout.

Alexei and Sale have ridiculous metabolisms.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 02:19 PM) This is the response I sent John, Thanks for the response. Speaking frankly, this is a bit frustrating. This package was marketed to fans as a value deal of a group of games. I realize things happen with April weather, but I believe it's disingenuous for the White Sox to walk back on the good faith value of 11 games for a refunded portion of a miniscule amount of money and 10 remaining games (maybe 9 now if tomorrow's weather is bad as well). The true value of this campaign is to get butts in seats in a down year, in my opinion, and I believe the White Sox always make a lot of money on concessions per fan, more than the value of the ticket that will go unsold. I would say that refunding $3.54 does nothing for the White Sox or me, but even a free upper reserved ticket in July gets me to a game, gets me to buy hot dogs, candy, beer and whatever else - and gets me to cheer on the squad. We both know this is a rebuilding year for this team, and that there are going to be dog games in July and August against not-popular teams where the organization will struggle at the gate - why give me $3.54 for each of two tickets back when the team could make $50 in concessions for giving ballpark passers the opportunity to exchange for an upper reserved ticket to a handful of organization-picked games? Sincerely, ***** I'd love to hear what they say to that.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 08:13 AM) The only thing I am not sure I buy is that it was a money grab. If it was would they be willing to exchange all tickets for future dates in probably the only sell out of the season? But it's not an exact seat exchange. Premium seats are being exchanged for regular seats. So some fans are losing even more money from it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 08:05 AM) Exactly. If they weren't willing to play under yesterday's conditions, there was absolutely nothing in any forecast or model that would suggest they get the game in. If anything, the rain wasn't as bad as predicted. People have a right to feel snookered because they were. I'm not even that upset about not being able to take today off- I'm upset that there was a big playable window from the start time-4:45 in which they could've gotten an official game in. It wasn't even raining.

Very frustrating day. I was there and cannot go tomorrow. Regardless, that's not why it was frustrating- the lack of communication, coupled with the fact that the field was perfectly playable from the scheduled start time-about 4:45 were inexcusable. I mean, there was a 2 hour period where it wasn't even raining. Could've had an official game. But no, let's make the fans wait and wait and not tell them a single thing.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 10:50 AM) Well, hopefully they get the game in and nobody gets hurt. Go Sox...pick to click...Asche--duh! According to the game notes... Jacob May will wear 32. Melky Cabrera changed to 44. Really? That's weird. I thought he always liked 53, even before he was with us.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 08:37 AM) the bottom 4 in the lineup is probably the worst in the majors oh my goodness nevermind. I just looked at the padres lineup. Every time this year someone says, "the White Sox _____ is the worst in the MLB", just mention the Padres and they'll take it back.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 07:53 PM) What's the percentage they get this game in tomorrow? 25

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 06:34 PM) I wouldn't mind them using the spring training as an alt but they desperately need to drop the diagonal "Sox" from the sleeve. It clashes horribly with the 80s' "SOX" logo the chest and the batterman on the cap. This. That thing is a sensory overload as is. It needs to be cleaned up.

Tyler Saladino

Timothy Anderson

I don't see this one being played on Monday.

71-91. Book it.

How early would fans be notified if it's rained out?

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 09:13 PM) Quintana ?

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 06:19 PM) This trade was a total bust for both teams. Duke was incredible for the Cards...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 08:44 PM) To expand and show just how few pitchers do accrue 2 WAR. There were 53 starters who qualified for the ERA title that had a 2.0 WAR. There are no relievers who accrued 120 innings, thus getting the full picture of starting pitchers who accrue 2 WAR. If anything, it helps my argument. Had I just used those that qualified, I'm discounting 18 starting pitchers who did accumulate 2 WAR who did not pitcher a theoretical full season. They still accrued 2+ WAR. My bad, I was thinking along the lines of WAR being a cumulative stat, and not about the innings qualifications. Thanks.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 08:16 PM) Capping starting pitchers innings at 120, there were 71 pitchers in the majors who put up a 2.0 WAR or better. That is roughly 2.5 for each team, out of 5 necessary full time starting pitchers. Calling someone who is worth 2 WAR "just a guy" is preposterous. A starting pitcher putting up 2.0 WAR is very valuable and not easy to find. Mat Latos, Jacob Turner, Anthony Ranaudo - those are JAGs. I agree with you, but why this? Doesn't it hurt your argument?

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 06:45 PM) Because you disagree? How do you know that Moncada will hit for average and power like Benintendi? No, because you were expecting a 21 year old AA player to start on a rebuilding MLB team. Even if he were in Boston, he'd be in the minors to start the year. And how do you know for sure that Benintendi will hit for average and power? From his whopping 34 MLB games?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 12:27 PM) I like Diaz as a potential back of the pen arm but would have preferred a hitter. With Boston set on Devers being their 3B of the future, I think it's possible Dalbec could been expendable in the eyes of Boston. Who knows, maybe Hahn tried and DD said no. At the deadline- Robertson and Frazier/Melky for Dalbec, Swihart, filler(s)?
