4/23 Game thread: Texas, 1:10pm, CSN
ScootsMcGoots replied to Chicago White Sox's topic in 2016 Season in Review
They kind of deserve to lose this game after having the bases loaded twice and not scoring any runs -

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) You cannot have your hottest 2 hitters followed by an automatic out. If Avi has to play for some reason he needs to be put somewhere else in the lineup. I agree. With the way they are hitting right now, I would do Melky 3rd, Frazier 4th, Lawrie 5th and Abreu 6th followed by your pick of Avila or Jackson. Once Jose starts hitting the ball like he can, move him up to 4th or 5th. I think Melky would do wonders for this lineup hitting 3rd with Eaton getting on before him. -

No plate discipline or plate vision. If Garcia is in the lineup...he needs to be hitting 9th. -

I hope Avi walks. Please. Walk him. -

Good baserunning there by Melky. Exactly what you should be doing there. Cmon Avi...no bad swings -

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 03:50 PM) I'm not sure what Frazier is doing at the plate. He thinks he is Ricky Henderson trying to bunt like that. On the other hand..Melky is on fiya -

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) He got to a full count to 2 guys in the 5th. I'd like to see him nibble a bit less. He has the stuff to get away with a mistake or two. Yeah would help with the pitch count...but as long as he gets guys out, no complaints here. -

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) Rodon still really prone to falling behind and walking guys. He only has 1 walk today -

Texas is currently 2nd in runs scored and in hits in the AL (behind Boston) and the White Sox have only allowed them 1 run over 14 innings so far, and that one run being a homer that barely made it over the fence. I swear if this team makes it to the playoffs, I think they have a real legitimate shot at going all the way with the pitching and current defense they have. -

Rodon is pitching exceptionally well today. Really hitting his spots and getting players to roll over and swing and miss. I think so far the Sox pitching have shown that their pitching this season is not a fluke now that they are pitching against one of the better hitting teams in the league. -

Can't miss those opportunities...really hope this doesn't come back to bite them -

Not pretty but I'll take it! Let's see Ajax get that grand slam back that he missed in Minnesota -

Avi needs to calm down and not swing at every damn pitch that is thrown -

I swear every time I see Ajax hit a fly ball it looks like he crushed it out of the park but it ends up just being a flyout. -

So Avi watches the changeup right down the middle, swings and misses and the high fast ball then grounds out on the low curveball... -
We all know the offense sucks. I am hearing a lot of people saying that it will get better...but will it really? I remember a lot of people last year saying it will, but it never did. It never even really came close to getting better. I don't know if they need a better approach up there or what. It seems like each player has been figured out by the opposing pitchers. Those averages are just horrendous...a lot of the hitters aren't even hitting .200! With Texas coming to town, if the Sox don't start hitting, then I am afraid they will get swept. I REALLY hope that is not the case, as we have Quintana, Latos and Rodon (hopefully he's put that last start behind him...basically on 10 days rest) coming up, but the Sox are going to have to start scoring at least 4 runs pretty consistently if they want to have consistent winning baseball in my opinion.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 05:00 PM) Swinging first pitch after 2 straight walks. STUPID. It was a rolling curveball, he crushed it. I wouldn't want batters going up there looking for a walk every single time. Looking for the win, not the tie. Good decision to swing there. Jackson has been the bearer of bad luck this year. -

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Lawrie has been by the best on the team at working counts this year. I think he's changed his approach at the plate from last year. It's been nice to have a consistent hitter in the lineup. -

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 03:16 PM) It's what happens when you eat too much polish sausage and drink too many Miller Lites, coupled with having to walk quickly down a flight of stairs while carrying a bag of groceries. Ah I see lol thanks for the clarification. Must have had a tootblan last night without even knowing it! -

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 03:09 PM) This is wrong. Reaching on dropped third is a .000 for your average and OBP. A hit with a TOOTBLAN is a 1.000 for your average and OBP. What is tootblan... -
