QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:28 PM) To be fair he was just comparing their ability to get in front of the ball on D. Yep but either way, 2 names that should probably ever be uttered in the same sentence.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:24 PM) Damn, did I miss a Catfish Hunter anecdote? You missed a Tyler Saladino/Cal Ripken Jr comparison lol

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 02:30 PM) What a pathetic lineup. What a pathetic baseball team. Wonder what Vegas odds are tonight. It's got to be Cleveland -350? -400? Gee, it's almost like they're in the first season of a rebuild or something.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 02:30 PM) I really can't remember any other time the Sox have started a game a 5pm central. East coast Saturday night games seem to be at 5pm.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 02:24 PM) 6pm is that strange of a start time, I suppose. FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR better than another damn day game. Yeah 6pm isn't that weird. 4pm is odd.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) I don't associate with idiots enough I guess. Cubs are just another team to me. This s*** ended when I became an adult and 2005 was kind of the end of it all. Same really. Kinda grew out of that in high school (if not sooner).

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 09:47 AM) I might have interest in Clayton Blackburn if I was the Sox. He was DFAed by the Giants yesterday. He is receiving trade interest so we will see. He likely wouldn't make it to us if that is the case if the idea is to wait to claim if since another team in the NL likely would.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 09:23 AM) There are people that get all those right and still sound like absolute morons because of their opinion or thought. But I get it, pet peeves are all across the board different. Mine is the sound of someone chewing their food, I cant stand it to where it makes me physically uncomfortable that its hard for me to not say something to the person about it. Mine is definitely watching tv or a movie that you're really into with someone and they set their phone on a table only for it to vibrate on the table every text. Or hanging with people and majority of the time, they're just staring at their phone the entire time. It's like why are we hanging out? Try to live in the moment people.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 08:58 AM) Thanks for the advice. Guess I will have to research things like maybe how to make apps work on my ancient android . But I like the idea of paying less but I suppose I need wi fi instead of wired service for my computer first.$60 a month from Charter Spectrum seems expensive for only wired service. Sorry, I meant to install the kodi app on the fire stick but yes I think you do need wifi.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 08:44 AM) I spend my TV money on getting the DirecTV baseball and hockey packages, not HBO, so yea, no Game of Thrones for me either. Step 1: purchase Amazon fire stick ($40) Step 2: install kodi app (free) Step 3: cancel Netflix and hulu (and any other video streaming service) Step 4: profit

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 08:45 AM) I always just use commas and periods everywhere. Even in text messages. I don't like to appear uneducated. Same.

QUOTE (Moncada @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 04:27 PM) Frazier ties it up. He has looked good today Need him to get hot for a while.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 04:19 PM) ... Pitch-framing though./green

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:46 PM) Eephus strikeout! Gotta do what you gotta do.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:38 PM) There's a reason why they almost won it all last year Would have been interesting to see a healthy Salazar, Carrasco, and Brantley in that series.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:33 PM) Why are you still commenting on this pointless thread? You don't understand my points, that's clear. I'm not berating you. No one here agrees with you but I guess I'm the one who doesn't understand.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:31 PM) Again, I'm still stuck on this point - why was a guy like Asche a guy they targeted to give a flier in spring to give a chance to compete for a spot. He just seemed like the wrong type of player for what the Sox are trying to do, that's all. So he's bad but not the bad we need. Got it.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:21 PM) Thank you for doing your part to add to the discussion. Your comments are appreciated. Since it's a pointless thread, by all means, exit the conversation. Thanks again. No problem sir. You asked and I gave you 6 legitimate reasons. The reason you still don't understand at this point is on you.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:21 PM) For one thing, he's hurt. For another, he missed most of last year and was brutal in the spring. That's true too. Liriano is on minor league dl. Forgot to mention before.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:19 PM) What would have been the cost of Rymer Liriano? The same that Asche is costing us and you will see him at some point anyway. Jesus what a pointless thread lol

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:18 PM) Yes, the guy who didn't play a single game last year. The same guy that k'd I think it was over 20 times in Spring Training? He'll be here as well at some point.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:16 PM) Why not Delmonico over everyone? He will take 3B when Frazier goes. No reason that he shouldn't be in the minors getting some grounders.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:15 PM) Why not Rymer Liriano over Cody Asche. The guy who didn't play a single game last year?

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:11 PM) Let me be very clear about my argument, because you all seem to be conflating my points. 1) If we're going to experiment with a scrap heap reclamation project that has kicked around the majors for a few years, which is what the White Sox MAY have been doing with Cody Asche, I would have wanted to go out and get a different type of player than Cody Asche. I would want no part of a contact hitter who has a low OBP and no power and has no defensive upside, because his ceiling is such that the "reclamation" is just going to make the rebuild extra confusing if it goes literally as well as possible - which is to say he ends up as a .250 hitter playing below average defense and getting about 10-12 extra base hits in limited time. I would much rather the White Sox have gone out and gotten a different type of player if there was going to be a reclamation project like this, because this guy seems wrong for the things that Guaranteed Rate Field is built for. Why tender this guy a minor league contract over calling up a AAA player with power and a nice OBP. Just looking at the AAA roster, why not Rymer Liriano, for example? 2) If the white sox were filling out the roster with "just a guy" then I don't understand why they are filling out the roster with THIS guy. This guy seems too good to be "just a guy," but too poor in the needed areas to be a guy that actually helps them in the ways that this team could be helped. Who is/was available at a minimal price? You seem to keep avoiding examples. Some of these "types of guys" go claimed on waivers and aren't just free to add.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) Soto 8th doesn't make much sense. I'd probably go as high as 6.
