Oh come on ump

I get that it's Altuve running, but he had plenty of time to look towards home first.

Would have easily had the runner at home.

Damnit that was a good pitch.

We should get 5-6 off Fister tonight.

Damn should be 2nd and 3rd no outs.

Nice recovery there.

At least his velocity looks up today.

That's the pitch Albers should have thrown yesterday.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 18, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) Randazzo had a great balls/strikes game yesterday IMO For the most part yeah but Rodon still had several low strikes taken from him.

Real tired of our pitchers getting strikes taken away that are in the zone.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) In the eyes of major league baseball? No. Makes no sense to me. Anything outside of balls and strikes and foul/fair calls should be reviewable.

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 18, 2016 -> 11:30 AM) What the hell do I know? I'm just going off of all of the scouting reports. This is typical: "Scouts are split on whether Anderson can play shortstop in the big leagues. He has the necessary actions and enough arm strength, but his hands aren't especially soft and his footwork is erratic, leading to 78 errors in his first 255 pro games. His tools would profile well in center field if he can't cut it in the infield." Many scouts question whether or not he will be a good enough defender to stick at SS, much less an elite defensive shortstop. In another scouting report Law says he profiles as an above-average defender at SS. I think he'll be fine defensively. He's super athletic and has shown he can make adjustments. He just needs reps. There was a lot of talk about how much he improved with the glove last year as well.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 18, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) Unfortunately the team can't handle too much bad luck. Their margin of winning is too small. I don't even know what this means.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 18, 2016 -> 09:12 AM) Bunting isn't necessarily a bad thing if there are guys that know how to do it in the right situations. The problem is that no one on the Sox can lay them down consistently. No it's pretty much a bad thing 99% of the time. It's intentionally giving away outs.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ May 18, 2016 -> 07:41 AM) Agree but style points are not counted in baseball. Sure but it's a silver lining nevertheless. 2-5 in the last 7 games but still a run differential of +3 in that span. Makes you feel a lot better than if they'd been blown out in each of those 5 losses.

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 18, 2016 -> 08:24 AM) Is he ever going to learn to take an occassional walk? In 155 at bats, he has 5 walks!! That, and his questionable defense leaves me less than overwhelmed, in spite of the torrid pace, at which he has hit in his last 10 games. I'm afraid that I'm a little "old school," but I prefer an elite defender at SS. Unless he is going to become a better than .300 hitter, with an OBP north of .350, he is probably not going to be a top SS, because of his defense. What questionable defense?

Damn that was the pitch to hit.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) Wouldn't they have just made Springer go back No

QUOTE (SpankyEaton @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) I understand being upset over the umpiring (I am too), but man, this corpseball looks too familiar. The offense has not been the problem lately.

Why isn't that reviewable? So stupid.

Altuve actually grounds into a lot of double plays.

That's why you should never bunt.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 07:25 PM) Sometimes it's amazing to me how bad Rollins' range over at SS is. Bad jumps consistently. Not saying he would have got to it, just always see him with slow jumps. I couldn't tell if that was a bad jump or if it was more due to the shift.

98 mph, great to see
