1st thread of the year. Here goes nothing! Hopefully the offense can continue to slam Kluber as they have in the past. The offense really needs to get out of this rut they are in. Let's get a win today boys! EDIT: It's Kluber (4.10) vs Quintana (1.98) Lifetime the White Sox have hit .262 vs Kluber. Abreu and Melky have destroyed him, with .357 (28 ABs) and .474 (19 ABs) averages against him, respectively. Collectively they have slugged .417 against him. Abreu is the only one on the roster who has ever hit a homer off of him with 3 of them.

It's honestly just painful watching these games. It sucks not really having any hope that the team is going to come back. Every pitcher they face just seems to have their number.

Saladino definitely deserves more playing time.

Just turned on the game. First thing I see is that horrific double play...has this how the rest of the game has gone?

That is one helluva play by the Lindor.

Well they've got some work to do.

Guess not. He seems to always roll over on those low curves.

Avi surprise homerun here?

Anderson is really spotting his pitches well...good take from Avila to bring the count to 2-2 that was a tough curve to lay off.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 23, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) Stop falling out over the plate Someone needs to ship Abreus family to the US or something. You know, that is a good point. I do wonder if him missing his son has anything to do with this, I know he has a close bond with him.

That's the kind of atbats you get when you are struggling.

I am LOVING the combo of Fraz and Melky as the 3-4 hitters. Should have done this a while ago.

ooooooohhh i thought that was gone

Anyone else see the bird...

Robertson looks very hittable right now

This atbat is making me nervous

There it is.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) are you new to the game threads? Do you endorse god awful coaching? Seriously, nobody here should be anything but PO'ed this game hasn't been put to bed. The indians have f***ING TRIED TO GIVE IT AWAY! Well, seeing as I have 300 posts I suppose I am fairly new, yes. And I don't endorse awful coaching, as I actually would disagree with many of the decisions that have been made in this game, but they are winning. So just enjoy the fact that they are up by 3 and probably aren't going to give the lead up.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) just dumb f***ing baseball. rips the ball right at him YOU STILL HAVE ONE OUT. this team deserves to lose this game playing so f***ing stupid it should be 8-3 or more. You're an angry elf.

Now that was dumb. Ball hit way to hard to send the runner. I guess you take a chance being up by 3 but still...

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) Bases loaded no one out for... Carlos Sanchez. First career grand slam here? I hope you are right, but I don't think Carlos is looking for a homerun here.

2-0. Let it fly Lawrie.

That was a tough error for Kipnis
