QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 04:52 PM) Garcia bobbles fly ball in RF. Runner goes to 2nd. Garcia fires throw to 2b. Throw easily beats runner. Alexei puts tag down and tags the runner on the foot. Alexei jumps up holding the ball in his hand after he feels the tag. Alexei does not hold the tag in place having confidently tagged him on the foot. Umpire calls runner safe. Alexei immediately pissed, looks to dugout. White Sox broadcast shows replays where Alexei's glove does not touch the runner's body. Tigers broadcast shows clear view of Alexei tagging the runner in the foot that wasn't visible on White Sox broadcast. Hawk and Stone never see the video of the foot being clearly tagged. Robin steps out, wanders around a bit waiting for replay view upstairs, gets notice that they don't even see a "maybe", does not challenge. Wanders around talking to the umps a bit and heads back to dugout after pinch runner is announced and game starts moving on. Presumably the White Sox's video people never saw the video where he was clearly tagged out, that video is linked in this thread and in the "fire ventura" thread below if you want to see it. Ventura did not default to just challenging it anyway, he ignored his SS, and that baserunner wound up being the winning run after a bunt and an infield ground ball. You also forgot that Robin also did not intentionally walk a batter or two and instead just hoped that Jennings would strike out the next 2 batters. Which was an EPIC fail.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 04:05 PM) I'm awed by the ignorance of this organization. KW really made a nice hire... KW has made this organization horrible. Ever since he got rid of the greatest player in a Sox uniform (The Big Hurt). I have felt for a few years now that the only way this organization gets turned around is for JR to throw KW out a window and let some other unsuspecting team to catch his ass. Teams are built from the top down bc the top makes all of the decisions. We NEED new blood to turn this train wreck around, but that ain't happening anytime soon. Just pray someone in that locker room gets tired of being the butt of all jokes and gets so pissed that he can light a fire under the other players ass and they wake up and play better. Bc the players are the only ones that can salvage this season bc management and coaches are not gonna do anything about it

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 03:46 PM) I pin that whole 9th inning and loss on Avi. Dive for the f***ING BALL!!! Ohh yeah that's right, you won't because you're scared. Meanwhile the Tigers front office is laughing their ass off. This is the dumbest f***ing post, Avi will not dive for a ball bc his coaches and him have decided that it's not worth the risk of reinjuring himself. To top that off, Robin should have intentially walked 1 if not 2 batters there. Alexei needs to be taught how to tag people.

Why is it that the only person who will take a walk is LaRoche

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) Reading the game thread I would think Samardjiza was having an awful game. The Shark has been pretty damn good so far today. It is a pitchers duel today, that is what happens when two good pitchers take the mound.

Adam Eaton (6 pts): Melky Cabrera (3 pts):MHizzle85, lord chas Jose Abreu (1 pts): CarlosMartinez, Lasttriptotulsa, Jose Abreu, LTBF Avisail Garcia (3 pts): Condor13 Adam LaRoche (2 pts): Alexei Ramirez (4 pts): SAVVY18, KG#1 Bacon (4 pts):TheTruth05 Soto (3 pts): BigEdWalsh Emilio Bonifacio (6 pts): Bench (8 pts): Noone ( 1,000,000 pts ): hi8is

This is either gonna be a pitchers duel or the sox are gonna get smoked 9-0. The Shark better have his A game going bc the tigers have their bats on fire so far.

4/17/15 Sox @ Tigers Updated Lineups Adam Eaton (6 pts): Melky Cabrera (3 pts):MHizzle85 Jose Abreu (1 pts): CarlosMartinez, Lasttriptotulsa, Jose Abreu, LTBF Avisail Garcia (3 pts): Condor13 Adam LaRoche (2 pts): Alexei Ramirez (4 pts): SAVVY18 Bacon (4 pts):TheTruth05 Soto (3 pts): BigEdWalsh Emilio Bonifacio (6 pts): Bench (8 pts): Noone ( 1,000,000 pts ): hi8is

I believe if he comes up next week and pitches how some of us believe he will, then there is a good chance he can improve the Sox by 9 wins give or take a few. Unless he bombs he is way better then Danks and Noesi combined

I decided to make one thread for the picks and another thread for the leaderboard. Somone has to to catch MHizzle85. The link below is basically a breakdown of who everyone has picked, their points, their streaks, etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-PG...dit?usp=sharing

Avi

Another early game so I am going to go ahead and post so people can go ahead and make their picks. Lets keep the picks coming, it only takes a few second. 4/17/15 Sox @ Tigers Adam Eaton (6 pts): Melky Cabrera (3 pts): Jose Abreu (1 pts): Adam LaRoche (2 pts): Avisail Garcia (3 pts): Condor13 Alexei Ramirez (4 pts): Gillaspie/Bacon (4 pts): Soto/Flowers (3 pts): Micah Johnson/Emilio Bonifacio (6 pts): Bench (8 pts): Noone ( 1,000,000 pts ): hi8is

The Sox will screw this up, I hope I'm wrong though. They will probably wait until mid-late may to call him up, once the Sox are 10-15 games out of the playoff picture.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) A lot of "lineouts" in that first inning. Were any of them hit particularly hard? Not really the one to Alexei was sort of hit hard

Soto

If you took Garcia I moved your pick to the bench. You can change it before the first pick. Adam Eaton (6 pts): glangon Melkman Cabrera (3 pts): Jose Abreu, CarlosMartinez, LTBF Jose Abreu (1 pts): South Sider Adam LaRoche (2 pts): MHizzle85 Alexei Ramirez (4 pts): lord chas, BigHurt3515 Gillaspie (4 pts): Schuck (5 pts): Soto (3 pts): Condor13 Micah Johnson (6 pts): Bench (8 pts): Lat.... Noone (1,000,000 pts): hi8is

I will update the leaderboard tomorrow. I am going to go ahead and post the "lineup" now so people can make their picks for tomorrow's game because it is so damn early. 4/15/15 Sox @ Indians Adam Eaton (6 pts): Melky Cabrera (3 pts): Jose Abreu (1 pts): Adam LaRoche (2 pts): Avisail Garcia (3 pts): Condor13 Alexei Ramirez (4 pts): Gillaspie/Bacon (4 pts): Soto/Flowers (3 pts): Micah Johnson/Emilio Bonifacio (6 pts): Bench (8 pts): Noone ( 1,000,000 pts ): hi8is

Did pigs fly and I miss it

Keeping Q out there for the 5th inning is just as insane, we might get away with it. It's playing with fire though so who knows

Another 0-2 high fastball that is f'ing horrible. Can Soto just be named the starter from here on out, please.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) considering he's basically been on the bench 10 days straight I'm willing to cut him some slack. Robin needs to find him more PA keep him into the season. He has not played till now bc we has Sanchez, now that Sanchez is gone back to the minors Emilio will get more playing time

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) Why do they keep calling that stupid f***ing 0-2 high fastball? He's not even close with them and then goes full. He's done it 4-5 times atleast already. You're just throwing away pitches. If Flowers is calling this game, he needs to take a f***ing seat. Happy Soto starts tomorrow. Man I thought this was my post there for a minute

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:26 PM) I am really starting to hate how Flowers calls games. It is pretty bad The only time he looks good is when Sale pitches and that is only bc Sale can even make me look good if I were to catch him.

0-2 count and then comes that f'ing worthless fastball above the guys head and then it throws Q off for the rest of the ab and then he walks him. Just stop throwing that sh!t pitch

Is Matt Davidsons d any better then Gillespie, Connor is just horrible at 3rd
