Jose Abreu

Surprised to not see Putnam, and to see Saladino at 1B, but of course they (Petricka as well) prove me wrong on the first pitch

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:31 PM) You cant live in fear of the double play. With Rollins at the plate, you kind of have to, His 2nd in as many days.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:29 PM) And the DP looms large Maybe should've bunted there. Don't know if Rollins is good at sac bunting though

Want to be mad at Rollins but he won us the game last night so I'll keep it in

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:23 PM) It was a tie all along they couldn't overturn it Agreed, but everyone here is saying we caught a break and he was out, when that's not true

Don't know why all you guys said out. He looked safe from every angle to me

the ball isn't completely in the glove until his foot is on the bag. tie

tie! he's safe

Great outing.

Saladino makes that play?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:01 PM) Someone dig up that thread. I was so right about him. It ain't easy being white, ok Gob? You of all people should know.

he gone

I don't know why I'd pay to go to a baseball games to sit there and focus on playing drums the whole time.

Don't overreact, 2.5 games doesn't mean that we should "cut our losses" with our second-best RBI man from last year. He at least has some value.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) I miss Melky en fuego Cabrera That 18-36 stretch during the winning streak sure was something.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) May be time to break up Melky-Avi at 5-6 in the order. Lawrie, Avila and AJax have at least looked capable, its like two mini lineups are being separated by a pair of automatic outs. It's like half of the lineup is being used to kill the other half of the lineup's rallies. #FamousSoxtalkQuotes

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) Has he hit the damn ball out of the infield yet? God he's Been horrid He had one good liner that was caught the other day, but his other AB's (aside from the 2-run reached on error) have been horrid.

damn

Already picked up on Frazier's pre-pitch routine. Point bat out, tip helmet, fix right pant leg, lift right leg, place it back, fix left pant leg, tip helmet, then the pitch.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:42 PM) I can't think of a thing about Oakland that doesn't suck. Sonny Gray

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 3m3 minutes ago Since Mark Canha's solo homer, Carlos Rodon has retired 11 of 13 with five strikeouts.

Rodon is doing a good job of pitching well despite an off day for his command

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) So far Rodon has looked better than Q and Sale IMO. Eh, box score-wise, sure, but he's getting hit harder. Lots of line drives

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:33 PM) He went from 70 pitches in 4.1 innings to 71 in 5. And what is your point exactly? That he's on pace to go 7+ innings? No, my point is that Gray had thrown far more pitches than Rodon
