Nothing can go wrong in the outfield tonight.

A Tribune article today P. K. talks about his memorable moments in the Sox / Cubs series. He makes no mentioned of being hit in the face by tonight's starter.

I almost wish he was starting tonight for revenge.

 

Never, NEVER FORGET !

Dunn will be fine for a couple games in the OF. Its not like its the first time he's been out there.

There was a reason he was moved to 1B. Unfortunately, the ball is going to find at least one of these OFs tonight. Hopefully, they are up to the task.

#WhiteSox lineup for 5/3 vs. #Cubs: De Aza 8, Beckham 4, Abreu 3, Dunn 7, Viciedo 9, Ramirez 6, Flowers 2, Semien 5, Quintana 1.

The Beckham 2 hole experiment needs to end.

Beckham 4

Holy hell De Aza, Viciedo and Dunn in the OF that should be fun.

De Aza back to the leadoff spot eh?

 

I also cringe at the thought of Dunn in LF.

 

This has to be one of the worst outfields in all of baseball with Dunn and Viciedo at the corners.

Wonder how many times Edwin Jackson can say "Abreu's a big dude" haha?

 

Some nice quotes from Villanueva as well, it's nice to see a Cubs/Sox series with all the focus on a Sox player. Rizzo's having a very good bounceback season so far and he has almost been forgotten.

 

 

 

"He's a big dude," Jackson repeated.

 

Cubs pitcher Carlos Villanueva agrees. Villanueva got to know Abreu this offseason when the two trained together in Coconut Grove, Fla.

 

"The guy was very dedicated, never complained, very nice, came in every morning and said 'Hi' to everybody," Villanueva said of Abreu. "The guy's a beast."

 

Villanueva faced Abreu in Spring Training and got him out.

 

"That doesn't count," Villanueva said, laughing.

 

The Cubs have a big guy of their own in first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who was batting .400 at home, and entered Sunday's night game with six home runs and 16 RBIs.

 

"His approaches in terms of two-strike approaches and his approaches against lefties have been strong," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said of Rizzo. "Numbers-wise, he didn't have a bad season last year, but in terms of approaches, I think he continues to improve. I think he's gaining more and more confidence. He's hitting the ball to all fields, and he has the strength that if he gets a pitch to handle, he can drive it out of the ballpark."

 

Both Abreu and Rizzo are the type of hitters that pitchers need to be aware of. Cubs reliever Justin Grimm said Abreu reminds him of Josh Hamilton, who can have a significant impact in a game with one swing. Jackson, who will start Tuesday at Wrigley Field, prefers to concentrate on what he has to do.

 

"You focus on who's coming up at the time," Jackson said. "You focus on what you have to do and not necessarily the other person. It's execution. There's nobody in the game batting 1.000, so it's all about making pitches. You have hitters who are tougher than others and guys who can hurt you, but it's all about executing pitches. If you execute your pitches, you don't have to worry about the consequences.

 

"He's a big dude, nevertheless," he said.

Samardziasfdf has an ERA under 2 after 6 starts. He's good, but he's not THAT good. Light him up tonight.

Should be a head scratching outfield tonight. Can't wait til Beckham is gone.

That is Dunn in LF and De Aza in CF.

They should put Viciedo in CF and Dunn in RF for S and G's.

 

In case anyone was wondering, WCIU = White Sox / CSN = Cubs

You can't play Adam Dunn in left field, you just can't. He's a big ox, with all due respect.

 

 

With all due respect the Big Donkey is in LF

Cubs get 2 games on WGN, Sox get none. Usually they have had even numbers during a series.

So happy I get a reprieve from Hawk.

Nice way to start off De Aza

Lucky break.

Make them pay Abreu.

Nice error

Sox 1-0 Abreu SF

Abreu with the Sac Fly. 1-0 Sox!
