Jose Abreu

There was drama last time we played @ KC and we hit 1 guy to their hitting 4 of ours... Rienzo just hit Alex Gordon.

Dreaded leadoff walk

Hey- a 1st inning in which we don't allow 3+ runs!!

I predict 6.1 IP, 3 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, and 12 K for Ventura. Then 5.2 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, and 3 K for Rienzo.

He could be ready for NYY series but we want to see how he reacts to this first -Ventura

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 43s Chris Sale heads out to the bullpen for today's session. Robin Ventura is making his way out there. #WhiteSox

We beat Ventura last year, but he's been very good this year. Should be interesting.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:49 PM) Sale said the White Sox have to do something else to rid themselves of this rash of injuries. If they continue to occur the two-time All-Star might be open to hiring a witch doctor or sacrificing a live chicken, anything to rid the White Sox of this epidemic. [RELATED - White Sox Chris Sale sore from start but elbow is fine] “We have to disinfect the clubhouse,” said Sale, who is nearing a return. “We’re getting bit by the bug. Something’s going on. But you look around baseball and we’re doing a little better than most. You look around baseball — there’s freakish things happening around baseball for some reason, with pitchers and guys on field with obliques. Be thankful it’s not more.” Dan Hayes, www.csnchicago.com I wouldn't say we have it better than most. I think we're about on par with the rest of the league.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) On paper, his stats look okay. But the numbers are a bit misleading. And his velocity is still way down in the upper 80's for most of his fastballs. But Hanson (your suggestion) is 2-4, 4.60

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:34 PM) Oh, here I was about to congratulate Ventura for having the guts to take out Lindstrom in the middle of a save situation. What happened to Matty Ice? Guerra or De Los Santos for the Lindstrom spot? Hanson to replace Carroll? No idea. He hurt his foot fielding a bunt. Guerra. Erik Johnson.

I think it's time to replace Carroll with Erik Johnson. He has a 3.38 ERA in 4 starts.

Comeback win!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) Hey wait the sox are the only team allowed to make those supremely dumbass base running plays Not sure if Jarrod Dyson or Alejandro De Aza

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:23 PM) Downs ERA is down to 4.15 now And Belisario to 3.96

I've really liked Petricka, Putnam, and Belisario so far.

Good work for Downs

Let's go, Downs

Every time Lindstrom nearly gives me a heart attack

Belisario has been Putnam-like in May. Lights out. His ERA has gone down from 14.something to under 4.

De Aza!! No!!!

13 pitches for that? I guess it was an OK at-bat.

12 pitch ABs are always nice

Errors- KCR- 2 CWS- 0 That makes sense.

Ha Hosmer!

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 19, 2014 -> 09:23 PM) Where's Cubano? Maybe he could fill us in. Anyway, if he's a plus defender I say the Sox should make a very serious effort to sign him. Sox desperately need another good OFer and we've had good success with free agents from Cuba.
