This team has a serious allergy to any type of winning streak.... Someone will step up and *hit it down their leg at a key moment. They are great at doing that.

well the white sox season has for the most part been over for awhile.... But doesn't want to make the avg fan have a lot of mean thoughts about nate jones...

jones is okay.. not great. When he is your 2nd best reliever... you are going to lose some games late.

oops

kahnle and a bad ump don't go well together...

Frazier....

sigh... jose....

saladino is solid

offense looking pretty dead... not a good sign with shields pitching..

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) 3 games out of 4 from Seattle. Bring on Detroit. I sound like an idiot for saying this, but a very unlikely sweep against Detroit gets the Sox back in that 2nd wild card spot conversation. miracles happen I guess... But Shields and whoever else against the Detroit offense first two games... Like I said miracles...

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) How many times have we said this exact sentence I don't really ever remember Avi being selective....

Avi is being way more patient and driving the ball. If he can keep right where he has been for a while he can be solid.

boy it looked like Morneau was safe... played it back a few times

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) Please itemize what was gained for the Chicago White Sox in pitches 100-120. And yes, of course Sale CAN do it. But there is no point in doing it. And most DON"T do it every 5th or 6th day. We gained 3 innings of scoreless pitching with a pitcher who was clearly not tired, hurt or laboring. . He struck out like... 8 of the last 10 batters or something... Arbitrary pitch counts... are arbitrary

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) ONly 120 pitches for Sale in this critical August series. Is anyone in the dugout or front office on planet earth? I guess you missed the part where Sale was striking out every thing that moved in the last 3 innings.

Abreu just not doing much with the bases load this year.

Sale... was great in april and May Pretty non spectacular since then.

Jennings is doom with for any pitcher who left runners on base.

Frazier really really has trouble making contact with the baseball...

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Aug 23, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) Good to see him coming around but where was he when we needed him? He really is so important to us winning and losing...

Abreu starts hitting.. we start winning Since he hit his first homerun in... forever on aug 4th Aug 4th -23 His batting avg has went from .269 to 285 .361 6 hr 11 RBI over that time with an OPS well over .1000 We actually have a winning record in that time span...

if somehow we could have a two man rotation with sale and Quintana...

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Aug 18, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Most of the time, my eye test of a players performance jives with the advanced statistics of how well a player is actually doing. However in the case with Nate, it is not the case. The eye test says he's been bad but his advanced metrics say otherwise. Jones is decent... but should be our 7th inning guy. The bullpen is so thin and horrible right now... It's full of guys with either no control or stuff that has blinking lights on it for takeoff. Robin is hot garbage... but he really is throwing out nerf bullets. What a mess of a bullpen.

Robin leads the league in conceding losses the last 4 seasons. He does have a pile of dung to throw out there... but he doesn't help himself either.

I don't care if its tied... You put in Robertson there so you have some chance...
