QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) Saladino will start Wednesday and Thursday. I'm actually excited to see him play source?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 01:20 PM) Regardless of whose fault it is, until we discover we have someone who can steal bases as a strength I'd prefer we stop being aggressive. I miss Juan Pierre

This is one reason why Hawk and I love Saladino so much. He's so fundamentally sound- defense, baserunning, bunting, etc. Players like that are rare nowadays

Just wondering, who is LTBF and why do you always add him..?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 12:46 PM) As usual you're so bogged down in pedantry that you miss the point: the Sox were by far, the worst running team in MLB last year. The metrics don't lie, neither does the eye test. Who was the baserunning coach last year? Vince Coleman. He was the coach of a league worst running offense. Fire him. He was fired

It's 95% made up by these Twitter experts Hm... reminds me of all the "Yoenis Cespedes signs 4 year, 84 million dollar deal with White Sox!!!!" tweets

DuPage county with 77% pop and 18% soda? I've literally never heard anyone refer to it as "pop" in DuPage, and I work at a restaurant...

#SnapACoke? Come on... And the Miller Lite ad taking up 40% of that huge CF scoreboard is amusing

The undefeated, first place White Sox take on a familiar foe in RHP Chris Bassitt. Only one Sox hitter has ever faced Bassitt, and it is Alex Avila, who is 0-5. Some notable Oakland stats vs. Quintana: Billy Butler: 5-30 (.167), 0 HR, 1 RBI Jed Lowrie: 3-7 (.429) Josh Reddick: 1-9 (.111), 1 HR, 1 RBI Danny Valencia: 2-17 (.118) 0 HR, 2 RBI

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 12:07 AM) Hey! Above .500 at least once this season! First time since we were 18-17 in May of 2015, IIRC

White Sox player of the game: Marcus Semien

Tomorrow's game thread will be up at like, 830ish AM central. Must sleep

Oakland fans screamed as if that was out of the park

Coghlan is pissed but it was in the zone

great pitch there

I do not have a good feeling about this
