Jose Abreu

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 55s55 seconds ago Anyone want to guess the last White Sox pitcher to throw back-to-back complete games? #WhiteSoxTalk

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 19, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) Defensive positioning has just been so good this year. Had some bad shifts during week 1 but we figured it out since then. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) Didn't the Astros send Gattis down 2-3 weeks ago because he was struggling so badly? Seems like he's snapped out of it. Streaky hitter, that's for sure, has been ever since he debuted with the Iron Bank of (Atlanta) Bravos. They sent him down to recondition him to be a catcher

Alright, give him the 9th. Any opposed?

well, that run was important!

reverse-jinx worked!!!!!

Runners at the corners, one out, and the biggest double play threat in the lineup at the plate

Running out of complimentary phrases for Sale.

Good job with pitch count these past few innings for Sale

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 19, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) I was 60% sarcastic/waiting to be accused of being a "jinx", but yeah, I feel like he's bound to throw one in the near future with his new approach. This Houston lineup could be susceptible to one. nevermind

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 19, 2016 -> 07:20 PM) I'm feeling that vibe too. Altuve is the only guy that concerns me. Sale can get everyone else out with ease. I was 60% sarcastic/waiting to be accused of being a "jinx", but yeah, I feel like he's bound to throw one in the near future with his new approach. This Houston lineup could be susceptible to one.

Tonight. Tonight is the night. Christopher Allen Sale throws a no-hitter tonight. Bet the house.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 19, 2016 -> 10:00 AM) Has Sale ever taken a no-hitter to the 7th? Did he take a perfect game into the 7th when he one-hit LAA, or was that the 6th?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 19, 2016 -> 09:14 AM) if this gamethread fails, we need new blood on the next game thread Haven't made one since April, and I'm 3-1!

Need Sale to be our savior

Abreu!!

Damn Latos fell back to Earth

he showed up tonight

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Wait, what? The last time that the Sox had a real top 10 in all of baseball prospect was Jon Rauch. Carlos Rodon was top-10 last year actually, but I agree with you *midseason

QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) Absolutely not. When the Sox went to Spring Training in 2016, they had a set payroll they were comfortable with, and it included being in the final year of contracts with both LaRoche and Danks. The point is the front office was prepared to pay LaRoche and Danks in full. The only thing that changed was 13 million removed from that equation when LaRoche left. As Rowand send, Danks was a sunk cost the entire time, they were prepared to pay it anyway. Ah, I see. Thanks

I'll take the blown save!

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 1m1 minute ago Todd Frazier is in the White Sox dugout in uniform.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2016 -> 06:43 PM) Yeah, that's not really how finances work. That money was already paid to Danks and on the payroll, whether he was on the roster or not. Him being cut would have no affect on the LaRoche money that didn't have to be paid. No, I know that. I'm saying theoretically, isn't the money we "saved" by LaRoche's retirement essentially cancelled out by Danks' paid salary, given that neither player is on the team?

What I'm wondering is why Rollins and Navarro were pulled

Rollins/Navarro got pulled

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 44s44 seconds ago Some position changes: Alex Avila takes over at catcher Tyler Saladino moves to shortstop Carlos Sanchez takes over at 3rd base.
