May 20, 201411 yr Carroll bombed in the first inning, Lindstrom hurt, Alexei dropping it like its hot, Cubans hit home runs And whatever you guys want to say too
May 20, 201411 yr I just made one lol but yeah. Loved the effort tonight. Great comeback win. I've had enough of Carroll, but Johnson isn't ready yet and Paulino just sucks. Who replaces Lindstrom once he goes on the DL? What's the 40 man at right now?
May 20, 201411 yr I think it's time to replace Carroll with Erik Johnson. He has a 3.38 ERA in 4 starts.
May 20, 201411 yr Oh, here I was about to congratulate Ventura for having the guts to take out Lindstrom in the middle of a save situation. What happened to Matty Ice? Looking at what happened, it's almost incredible to believe Downs and Petricka escaped that inning without being scored upon. Don't forget the Konerko heroics!!! And Dayan's still hovering around the .300 mark. Guerra or De Los Santos for the Lindstrom spot? Hanson to replace Carroll? No idea.

And Dayan's still hovering around the .300 mark. Guerra or De Los Santos for the Lindstrom spot? Hanson to replace Carroll? No idea. Lindstrom rolled his ankle on the mound trying to field a bunt it looked like. Guerra isn't on 40 man. De Los Santos is. Hanson isn't on 40 man either. I don't know how many spots on the 40 man are available.
May 20, 201411 yr For those of us who missed it, what was the injury to Lindstrom? did it happen on the Error in the ninth? Does Sale take his place as Carroll goes to the bullpen?
May 20, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:30 PM) Offense good. Bullpen Good. Carroll bad. Lindstrom hurt. Great comeback win. Defense bad. Cubans good. Paulie good. Great win indeed.

Does Sale take his place as Carroll goes to the bullpen? Looked like he turned his ankle coming off the mound to field the bunt. Stone said he hopes it's not his Achilles. Time will tell.

May 20, 201411 yr Carroll was kinda bad. Beckhams (not called) error opened that inning. It should have been a DP

May 20, 201411 yr Need to win the next two to tie the pace of the 2013 club. Which then lost eight straight and never came within a sniff of .500 again.
May 20, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 19, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) But Hanson (your suggestion) is 2-4, 4.60 I know that, but they have nothing to lose with him....he's a veteran MLB starter and placeholder. The last thing you want to do is run Johnson out there against teams like the Yankees and have him get his brains beaten in. Edited May 20, 201411 yr by caulfield12

May 20, 201411 yr Sale said the White Sox have to do something else to rid themselves of this rash of injuries. If they continue to occur the two-time All-Star might be open to hiring a witch doctor or sacrificing a live chicken, anything to rid the White Sox of this epidemic. [RELATED - White Sox Chris Sale sore from start but elbow is fine] “We have to disinfect the clubhouse,” said Sale, who is nearing a return. “We’re getting bit by the bug. Something’s going on. But you look around baseball and we’re doing a little better than most. You look around baseball — there’s freakish things happening around baseball for some reason, with pitchers and guys on field with obliques. Be thankful it’s not more.” Dan Hayes, www.csnchicago.com

Up until the Floyd/Danks/Crain issues in the last couple of years, we had the best record with pitching for the last decade (in terms of days on the DL) of any team in baseball, and one of the top 2-3 overall in terms of times missed for all players. Someone had the fangraphs.com article up about it recently, about this particular anomaly being one of our unique competitive advantages. Edited May 20, 201411 yr by caulfield12
May 20, 201411 yr The pickoff by Petricka was huge, not to mention the home run by Paulie. After the bunt and the injury it certainly looked bleak. Royals fans are furious. They are blaming Yost for taking out Aoki for Dyson on the basepaths. I don't see how Yost can ever trust Dyson again after the blunder which definitely cost KC the game. Great win. Definitely helps make up for some of the lousy losses Sox have had in Kauffman past few years. Paulie's home run was pretty damn impressive. To center in a pitcher's park. He isn't finished yet. He has two home runs; Dunn six. Dunn has double the at bats. I won't be negative tonight, though. Great comeback win. p.s. There's really no reason to pitch Carroll again. Got to try somebody else. He's not MLB caliber. Edited May 20, 201411 yr by greg775
May 20, 201411 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ May 19, 2014 -> 11:34 AM) Tonight should be a blowout loss. Go to Vegas and bet KC and the over in a gift parlay. Royals' bats are allegedly heating up and we are pitching a AAA pitcher. That's just my opinion, obviously something could happen positive regarding Carroll.greg, you are no longer my financial advisor. You have led me to financial ruin
