Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) He just got 4 days of rest! It's not just rest, it's his play. Also, four days of rest is nice, but playing two 9 inning games in 9 hours is tough.

With Bonifacio, Gillaspie, Sanchez, Ramirez, Beckham, and Saladino all on the roster, Alexei better be sitting out game two.

Saladino's average has increased from .200 to .308 today.

Saladino's having a great day

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) I dont blame Alexei. He is aging and becoming a lesser player as most baseball players do. I lean toward blaming management for not trading him when they should have before. He gave us a lot of good years of decent baseball so I am really not angry at either side. But they better find a way to replace him by next year. Well put. +1

QUOTE (bjm676 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) They'll need a long man/mop up guy in Game 2. Good point

Webb and Jennings warming. Looks like no Montas in game one.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:03 PM) Schwarber might be better than Bryant IMO Doubt it. Bryant will have a better career

100% of Rios' HRs are against us. The first was on Opening Day.

8 pitches, that's what happens

After 8 mins, the Sox deleted that tweet

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 55s56 seconds ago Moustakas gives the Royals a 3-1 lead over the #WhiteSox in the 5th with a two-run home run.

12 pitches, that's what happens

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:18 PM) Not really good umpires today That's quite the understatement

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:08 PM) His framing is actually rated pretty good this year, but that doesn't go into fWAR anyway. We only have 4 positive WAR position players. Abreu: 1.5 Soto: 0.6 Flower: 0.2 Eaton: 0.1 That's surprising. This is completely unrelated- Soto really annoys me when he throws the ball back to the pitcher. He leans forward on one knee, throws it back weakly, then scrapes the dirt with his throwing hand. I don't know why it annoys me. I'm usually sitting behind him at games, that's why I notice it. It makes him seem like he can barely throw the ball 60 feet.

Sox best bunters: 1. Tyler Saladino 2. Carlos Rodon T-3. Everyone else

Nice bunt

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:04 PM) Soto is so much better than Flowers at hitting. Fixed

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:03 PM) f*** yeah Soto. Our second best position player by fWAR! Seriously? Because his defense/framing seems pretty bad

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:57 PM) Maybe the lesson we should take is that "running when it is going to be close enough as to leave it in the hands of the umps/review" is a bad move that is costing us a fair number of runs? Or maybe the umps/review should do what they're paid to do

f***ing new york. f*** replay. get the call right or eliminate it from the game

Since it's 05 reunion weekend, here's a crazy, five team trade. White Sox receive: AJ Pierzynski Brandon McCarthy Juan Uribe Neal Cotts Mark Buehrle Blue Jays receive: John Danks Brewers receive: Dan Jennings Braves receive: Geovany Soto Gordon Beckham Dodgers receive: Scott Carroll

QUOTE (AJUribe @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:29 PM) Vs this battery why run on 0-2? Stupidity is incomprehensible. It's Drew Butera, not Sal Perez

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:28 PM) It didn't look like the tag got on Eaton until he was on teh base. Looks like he had the glove down, but didn't touch Eaton until his chest, by that time he was already on teh base. They should've used teh challenge
