It is just very, very rough watching this horrific offense every darn game. This has been going on too long. It is such a shame to waste the pitching. We have our solid rotation set for quite a while (knock on wood, barring injury). We need to really, really surround them with some better hitting. I am sorry, but with some of the FA hitters available this past offseason, and us only getting the bottom of the scrap heap, still ticks me off.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) AND that run Duke gave up is going to cost us the game... And you could feel it coming when he took the bump.

Let's end this with a K or popup.

I think that I personally could pitch a shutout against this lineup.

Here comes the slider to Jose...

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Serious question: after seeing the suicide on the first pitch, why arent they throwing a pitchout the next pitch? I was thinking the same thing.

We HAVE to get to Avi this inning. He will walk it off.

QUOTE (South Sider @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:44 PM) No excuses, time for the middle of the order to hit. Eh, who am I kidding. These guys are getting crushed by the pressure they're putting on themselves. They are going to score 3 runs this inning in walk off fashion.

Duke had one good season in his entire career. We decide to overpay for him and give him a multi-year contract. Nice.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Duke can't get anyone out He is useless.

Here comes Duke to give up some runs.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:31 PM) I'll give them credit for fixing the defense, which has been pretty bad for a long time until now. Yeah, last year was a COMPLETE clown show.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) I just don't understand how we are so bad at stealing. AND hitting. The whole thing is freakin' unbelievable. Year after year...the same crap.

White Sox baseball.

God, Avi. Please go away. I hate EVERY part of his game.

1 more...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) Jackson has been horrible as well. Moving him up in the order isn't the answer. Is Cespedes still available?

Danks is awesome! Induced a double play!! Mercy!!

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 01:42 PM) 3 walks through 1 IP. Cut this dude already and move on. For sure. This has gotten ridiculous.

Jose loves those sliders away. He just can't layoff...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:33 PM) White Sox don't hit but win, dark clouds. Cubs don't hit but win. They are going to be unstoppable. True dat!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) They're doing what they're supposed to do. And outside of Fowler/Montero, their entire offense is underachieving - for now. I am not saying their offense is underachieving...maybe it is, or maybe it isn't. Some of their players may be having a sophomore slump. After all, they are still young. And maybe, just maybe, the back-end of their rotation is overachieving? Let's face it, any way you cut it, the majority of NL lineups are pretty bad. Hammel is a perfect example. After his trade to Oakland, he got massacred in the AL. Then, he returns to the NL and is dominant? It doesn't make any sense other than he can only handle the hacks in the NL. I am NOT saying the Cubs aren't a good team. But, put them in the AL and they wouldn't have such a breeze. Better pitching, better hitting, and stronger overall teams in the AL. There is no doubt about it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 11:00 AM) And they're 11-3? That's terrifying for the rest of baseball. Or, that the NL is completely horrendous...which it is

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) Clearly that .700 BABIP is sustainable. Tyler's early success is the proof in the puddin' that NL pitching is horrendous

Does anybody have a link, etc. to a video of Joe Borchard's record 500 ft. HR at the Cell? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!
