April 26, 20178 yr 35 hits this series. Sox moved from 2nd to last in wRC+ into the middle. Good job offense! Also, it's nice to see Todd coming around. Edited April 26, 20178 yr by chitownsportsfan

April 26, 20178 yr Last season when KC swept the Sox in May, our season went to s***. May this sweep pave the way for us to get back to playoffs?
April 26, 20178 yr Quintana with 3 QS in his last 4 starts. 1ER and 10K today. He'll be fine this year - just like he is every year.
April 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 05:17 PM) I know we are suppose to suck but isn't winning more fun? Yes, much.
April 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (Real @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 05:17 PM) looking at the standings, wow this division is poop. All 5-team divisions suck. Always will.

April 26, 20178 yr Renteria is really a breath of fresh air: "They've been the epitome of a solid bullpen," said Renteria, who knocked on a wooden table twice when talking about the unit, which has combined for a 1.96 ERA, second in the majors. "In the end, once you go ahead and put the club ahead, which those guys did, there's no need to push the envelope with (Quintana) any further. We could get it with the other guys." Good to see he's thinking about the long haul. I never liked seeing Q and Sale over 100 or so pitches early in the year.

If you keep all of the pitchers that low, the bullpen will be useless by the all-start break.

For sure, but didn't he notoriously push Sale past 120 last year in April? edit: was 120 exactly, on May 7th. Edited April 26, 20178 yr by chitownsportsfan

What start was that, 5 or 6? I don't think that is too aggressive. Heck, I think Gonzalez was over 100 in his second start this year. It will be interesting to see how sale does this year. He has been over 100 in every start. Edited April 27, 20178 yr by ptatc

April 27, 20178 yr If the Tigers and Indians both lose tomorrow, the Sox take the field Friday night a first place team.
April 27, 20178 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 10:45 PM) paging greg... I'm glad we swept those cocky assholes. I know it's early but KC always got well on the White Sox the last couple seasons. No matter how bad KC was playing they'd kick our ass. I realize last year the Sox were 23-10 so there's no way to compare. I don't remember how well the Sox were playing at 23-10. I know how bad they were the rest of the year though. I still expect this team to finish with over 100 losses but so far the team looks A-OK in terms of caring. That home run today by Avi was a huge home run. A tie game against a world championship team and he crushes a two-run bomb to win the game and assure the sweep. I'm sure I'll eat my words and be blasting Renteria after we lose our 100th game but so far the Sox at least look like a big league team, not the clown squad of the past four seasons. AVI baby!
April 27, 20178 yr Right now, it's looking more like an 87-93 loss team. All depends on what's left after the trade deadline/waiver wire deadline, too. Then again, guys like Moncada, Burdi and Lopez could really make a positive impact as well in the second half of the season. We'll just have to wait and see on Giolito. Not to mention Delmonico, Willy Garcia, Hayes, Tilson, etc. Obviously, the majority of them will not excel right off the bat, but they should be entertaining to watch at least.
April 27, 20178 yr The Feathered Serpent is back ! All the Garcia's ! That Avi HR was a BOMB ' Leury's was a laser. Still no blown saves. BP was killer once again.
