Archer vs Noesi. 0-0 top of the second. First game thread for me in a year.

Damn I didn't realize how much power Nick Franklin had either. If its true Hahn wanted him, then that sucks to see.

High k rate... So-so fielder he's going to be a decent player at the next level but not much more than that especially since he had to be moved off ss.

Upside is dan uggla.

Damnit Robin! Why didn't you teach Avi how to run bases!!!

Didn't practice re touching 2nd base enough in spring training, so Avi misses it , has to go back and it out. Robin is the ringmaster of the White Sox circus.

 

Andy Wilkins is getting closr to logging his first career game with at least one plate appearance and no strikeouts.

Sarcasm right?

You can probably blame the tigers...for avi's fundamentals. You can blame the sox for lack of accountability if u want though.

 

Detroit did pick up j.d. Martinez and rajai Davis for practically nothing so you can't be too dumb when u win a division four consecutive years.

 

I personally hope the a's royals or mariners ruin someone's party in the playoffs. Except all three of those teams are holding on for dear life on their individual roller coaster rides. Possessing offenses other than cano are ugly bordering on putrid.

 

 

Meanwhile Carlos Sanchez is down in the mid 500s ops-wise as predicted.

So it appears that the Tampa Bay Rays are the only team that gave Konerko a momento without pretty much being forced to. The other teams were CLE, MIN, KC (AL Central teams), and the NYY (Payback for Jeter gift). And you'd assume the Tigers will do the same for Paulie next week.

 

I was kind of thinking the Red Sox or Angels may be one of those teams, because of 2005 and all, but I guess not. Or maybe even the Dodgers because that's who gave him the first chance in baseball.

Does his 1 HR this year in the majors impress you? Lol. Or his 11 HR combined in 102 games in 2014?

There were a few others. The Cubs gave him the same thing they gave Jeter.

The kid had 23 as a 19 year old in the Midwest league. I didnt think about the variety of it until now.

So is anyone still awake watching this game?

Four Double Plays through 8 - not too shabby.

Outs please.

Great swing by Marcus

Why can't Avi make good contact on fastballs?

2 walks for Avi. His plate discipline this month has been great to see.

Sox lose. Chili is happy. Keep that pick protected!

Viciedos at least having better ab's the times I have watched....just no results.

 

Teams are so much more careful with abreu now that Dunn is gone. Maybe that's my imagination.

Viciedo just over .230. Could finish in the .220s, not good; Tyler close to falling back into the .230s as well.

I don't think there were a few others, but yes, I forgot about the Cubs, another team that pretty much had to give him something.

I can't imagine that 3 months with no baseball has affected his overall performance this season or anything
