Rick Hahn says he's happy with where White Sox coaches are at from standpoint of information and decision-making processes in games.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 30, 2016 -> 04:19 PM) “With the way both guys were pitching, you figured one run was going to do it, so you’re trying to get him in scoring position,” Ventura said of the bunt strategy with Cabrera, who had struck out and hit a soft roller to second in his first two at-bats. “You’re able to get a guy in scoring position and … if you get two, you’re looking good.” SMH OR, Robin, you can let your best hitter swing the bat when your next two hitters are slumping and a minor leaguer the day prior, respectively.

I hated the Rollins move from the start, and Jackson has actually been good lately, but yeah, Rollins needs to go.

We need to dump the trash. Rollins, Avila, Sands... basically the players that bring nothing to the table. Get some new blood, call someone up. Make a trade. Fire the manager. Do something.

Bunting has been proven to be completely inefficient and Ventura not only decides to call for one, but he decides to do so with our most consistent hitter at the plate. Just ridiculous. The Hawks and Bulls are done and the Bears don't start for a while, so we're stuck with this garbage for the summer. Fantastic.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 30, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) It doesn't matter anymore, but Robin just pulled Albers with 2 outs for Duke to come in...against Neil Walker. Walker hits .258 against RHP, .324 against LHP. Someone explain the logic? "We liked the matchup." -Robin

Who pinch hits leading off the 9th for us? The great Jerry Sands? Avisail Garcia? Navarro?

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 22s22 seconds ago Jose Quintana's run support his last 4 games: 1 run, 1 run, 1 run, no runs. #WhiteSoxTalk

Rollins, Avila, and Sands basically serve no purpose on our roster. Everything good thing they do can be done, even more efficiently, by somebody else.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 30, 2016 -> 02:24 PM) Odds Avila hits a HR here? 1/1,000,000,000? Has he even hit a ball to the track this year?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 30, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) Can't agree with that reasoning. Bunting is a valid and effective strategy. We had one out and two runners in scoring position and our bug hitter up The Sacrifice Bunt: The Real Rally Killer

Great outing for Quintana. Too bad he gets a loss.

This ump...

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 2m2 minutes ago Todd Frazier is in a 1-22 slump. Shuck just got called up from Triple-A. Melky Cabrera was your best shot to drive in a run. Why bunt?

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 2m2 minutes ago If you weigh more than 160 pounds, you should not be allowed to bunt, especially if you've been the most consistent hitter on the team.

dumb move, now they walk frazier and let Shuck GIDP

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 30, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) I will never understand Robin's logic behind lineup construction. Shuck batting 5th just boggles the mind. .....

Love the NL, right? Mets with a runner on, but the great Matt Harvey on deck

15 batters, 0 baserunners (combined)

Looks like we got the strikeout-y version of Quintana today

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Harvey at 97-98 MPH? Wonder if the Mets cranked up their gun to make him feel more confident in his stuff...? Does anyone know if it's normally that hot? That would explain Quintana at 95

I'm still shocked that Quintana hit 95. I don't remember ever seeing that out of him.

Cespedes entered today .600/4/10 vs. Quintana

Quintana hit 95??? Damn.
