TA7 was still seeing stars, so he couldn't really break away and take another punch to his glass jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something quite basic Bryce Harper picked up in a matter of weeks. Yup. If dude has his left foot on the bag at a certain spot, it will be at that spot usually regardless of the throw. It's really noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 Umps give Beni the benefit of the doubt on borderline pitches a lot. I have no fucking idea why they give him that respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Maybe the White Sox are waiting for Jared Walsh to get a hit at AAA so they can put him on the 40-man and bring him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sad when even a routine play turns into something that needs to be congratulated or encouraged, lol. It is what it is, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's zero reason (or than current injury, but that's a recent development) not to just let Colas play and see what happens... Ortega will garner no trade return and his playing time should be going to ANYONE who could be a legit part of the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zisk Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Nothing to say about the game. Just wanted to mention Tanner Mcdougal. I watched his strike outs tonite on twitter, and he's got major league stuff right now. Only 2 years after arm surgery, so don't rush him. But if Getz trades him for another bag of magic beans, we might as well give up all hope.

Lip Man 1 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 “It’s a matter of us getting the big hit when we need it,” said Grifol, overseeing the worst 36-game start in franchise history. That my friends is called whistling past the graveyard. This team is D.O.A. regardless of if they ever get a big hit or not. They needed to do it a month ago, now it's meaningless. Grifol hasn't accomplished s%*# since day one but he continues to talk a lot about what has to happen. The question needs to be asked, well...why hasn't it happened yet?

The starter the Sox threw out there is now 0-4 with a 6.34 ERA. Grifol can take his big hit and shove it where the sun don’t shine. He’s a soundboard of bullshit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
