Abreu with a horrible approach against Chen. All of the righties are going up there trying to pull the ball.

 

Exactly. You've got to have a clue. Oh well, we'll only face Chen about five times this year.

Cause there's been 4 games. 2 of which he's done just fine.

Done fine ......NO!

Here comes another likely run after the Sox score. Aoki and Infante are going to be Sox pests the next few years.

Lets give the run back Danks.

You can understand why the White Sox struggled with a Johan Santana or CC Sabathia in their primes.

 

Why they haven't been able to make adjustments against someone with Chen's repertoire is beyond me...it's not like they haven't seen him and Guthrie over and over again.

 

Tigers already off to a 4-0 start. Didn't see that one coming.

At least it's not Getz and Callaspo, haha.

Chens next start he will go 5 innings and give up 4 runs.

Semein is not a 2 hitter. He is a bench player.

This is so insanely stupid.

Danks has to do a better job of holding the runner there.

 

Aoki was barely safe.

I didn't either. Maybe I've overrated Leyland all these years. ... Who is this Nieto guy? Is he a bonafide prospect or lousy?

This is so insanely stupid.

 

He projects quite well as the 2nd baseman of the future for the Sox.

Semein is not a 2 hitter. He is a bench player. Young guy like him should be way down in the order.

 

 

What are you talking about? He may not be ready for major league baseball but he does profile well for the #2 spot and he's not a bench player.

Royals will score their runner from 3rd with less than 2 outs

I finally had to turn down the sound. Can't take the Royals announcers.

I like Ventura going out there to talk about the call while someone has a look at it for a possible challenge.

This is so insanely stupid.

 

It is a lot of pressure on Semien knowing that Beckham's coming back soon...he's pressing....it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have Ramirez hitting up at 2, but I'm sure Ventura sees Semien long-term in that role and wants to see how he handles it.

 

The bunting definitely is something he's going to have to improve.

Looking at our pen, I think we only have 4 guys who can pitch today

What are you talking about? He may not be ready for major league baseball but he does profile well for the #2 spot and he's not a bench player.

 

Yep, if he's not MLB caliber, then neither is almost every other young guy the Sox are counting on.

Done fine ......NO!

In games 3 and 4 he was 2-8 with a homer, a double and 2 walks. Ya, he did just fine.

He projects quite well as the 2nd baseman of the future for the Sox.

So does Micah Johnson, who is probably even better.

Yep, gave run back

I like Ventura going out there to talk about the call while someone has a look at it for a possible challenge.

I like it too, I feel like he's been doing that a lot.

He is in 2014.

Picked up in the Rule 5 draft from the Nationals' organization. Another Cuban. Guess Hahn couldn't work out a deal to keep him in the organization (where he really belongs at Winston-Salem or BIRM), so he has to stay on the major league roster all season or he goes back to Washington/Rizzo. Was in High A ball last season, so don't expect much of anything in 2014 out of him. Anything productive would be a pleasant surprise.

He is in 2014.

 

I respectfully say, who cares who's ready or not this year?
