I'm personally starting to relax a little more when Duke is pitching, and I think Robin deserves credit for how he has brought Duke along. He started in a LOOGY role until Robin decided he could be trusted for more, and the trust has been well place so far. In his last five appearances covering 5.1 innings, he has 3 hits, 1 walk, and 5 strikeouts. And if I remember right, two of the hits were a swinging bunt by DeShields and a jamshot into shallow left by Beltre. He's more reliable right now than he's getting credit for.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 10:53 PM) That was my gripe as well. No where did they display what a batter had done in the game thus far. No even a "0-2 on the day". The old board described exactly what you said. Instead, every time I looked at that left board, the entire right 1/3 of the board was a warning about not running on to the field.... Yeah, that LF board especially is showing a whole lotta nothin'.

Lol thank you. What a stupid game.

If we don't win this game I'm gonna dig a hole and live in it forever.

Ump should be fined after this one.

Take 3 strikes.

Ah, the old "pretend to bunt to force a HBP" play.

Can't pinch run here unfortunately. Stop bunting.

Sweet justice.

Lawrie has been on point in the field. Rollins has not.

Every plate appearance is a waste.

God forbid I talk people out of making up their minds on trades three weeks in, but be careful with the Lawrie love. I don't want anybody's heart broken. He's very streaky. He's the kind of guy who gets added and dropped six times during a fantasy season. He's been great and if this is actually his breakout then watch out, but I get the feeling we'll be enduring a couple 6-for-50's.

Really glad I went last night despite the cold. I've never gone from NO! to YES!! faster than the triple play. What a cool thing to see in person.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 01:19 PM) Twitter is intolerable after someone famous dies. So many people going overboard with praise. This and your subsequent posts were bad and you should feel bad.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) I have a dentist appointment during this game. Can't decide if it'll be more or less painful than reading White Sox Twitter during a Danks start. Update from yesterday: Dentist was less painful.

Good try to make it close.

Enough. Enough. Enough. I've never been so done with a player as Garcia.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 12:16 PM) I always respected Prince as an entertainer. He pushed the boundaries of showmanship like guys like Freddy Mercury and David Bowie did. What I didn't realize for a long time was how much talent he had as a guitarist too until I saw him play during this Beatles tribute. Prince really takes over and puts some historically great guitarists to shame at about the 3:30 mark of this video. I mean that is Petty, Winwood, and Lynne on stage with him, and they all took a side to Prince. #RIPPrince The fact that we linked to the same video speaks to the heights of that performance.

Coolness off the charts!

Some reports now that Prince dead at 57.

Little bit of shuffling at the bottom today. https://twitter.com/SieraSantos/status/723159017607061504 Eaton 9 Rollins 6 Abreu 3 Frazier 5 Cabrera 7 Lawrie 4 Jackson 8 Garcia DH Avila 2 ... Danks 1
