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

Hopefully Robin does away with the bunting.

The White Sox rule of not scoring the runner from third leading to a run (runs) the next half inning....it never fails.

 

Must happen 80-85% of the time.

One thing I've been having fun with this season is Start Four. Basically, you pick 4 players from either team that you think will succeed in the game. If you're interested then message me.

So does Micah Johnson, who is probably even better.

I'm much more confident that Semien will be a starting everyday player than I am Micah. Micah definitely has the one insane tool that people are in love with but I'm not sold on him yet. Hope I'm wrong and they're both mlb starters.

Hopefully Robin does away with the bunting.

He bunts less than any manager in baseball. Only 2 teams the last 10 years bunted less than the 2013 White Sox.

Maybe, maybe not.

 

Semien has a lot more pop in his bat and better defense at 2B...Micah Johnson's more of a threat on the basepaths. He's going to have to put up a ton of doubles and triples (like Eaton) because he's not a power hitter by any stretch of the imagination.

 

With Johnson, the biggest concern is defensively, sticking on the infield or being moved to LF/CF.

 

Put them together, you have another Ray Durham. Individually, both might not make it as major league regulars.

Good to hear. Was just responding to the Marcus needs to learn how to bunt post.

Are these really eephuses or is GameDay just misreading 12-6 curveballs?

LOL at Darin Jackson thinking we can get to Chen this half inning.

I can't believe this Bruce Chen s*** is still happening.

Slow curves, not the high looping eephus.

Viciedo and Gillaspie visibly frustrated with the slow stuff...can't wait back on it.

Caulfield how recent is that Eaton quote?

Chen getting calls way outside.

Chen ranging from 65 to 88.

 

Moore/Yost probably made the right decision holding back Ventura for the Rays. Guthrie and Chen own the Sox.

 

Konerko fooled by a pitch right down the middle.

Bruce Chen ... 7 Ks. 1 ER.

Caulfield how recent is that Eaton quote?

 

Just this week...I think it was Monday or Wednesday.

 

 

White Sox team average down to .287 now with the 5/24 so far.

Danks with 98 pitches through 5.1. He just got Salvador Perez swinging.

Amazing how much better results are with a 10mph difference between fastball and changeup than a 7mph difference.

Through six:

 

John Danks- 105 pitches (69/36), 5 hits, 3 ER, 4 BB, KKKKKK.

ERA is 4.5, obviously.

Wonder how many Royals' fans feel the same way about him as we do Chen/Guthrie?

 

15th start career today against KC, 6-0 overall, 4-0 in KC.

 

 

Going to cry if this isa 1-2-3 inning.

2 consecutive walks and the Aoki stolen base really hurt him the most.

 

He's been fine for a 4 starter. Offense just hasn't done anything with Chen, as usual.

 

 

Trade EN FUEGO Ramirez now before he puts up 30-40 errors with Abreu doing a poor imitation of the Konerko scoop at 1B, haha.

The key to only losing 88-90 games this season is winning series against the Cleveland's, Minnesota's, Yankees, Baltimore's of the world and some of those NL teams. We're simply not going to beat the good teams like KC, Detroit, just about everybody in the East.
