April 11, 201511 yr I assume the reason I had to make this thread is that everyone else is finally exhaling and breathing after the last 4 days and nearly passing out.

Yes sir! Players of the Game: Soto Conor :cheers Robertson Adams and for saving our bullpen from a rough day: Jeff S
April 11, 201511 yr I would have been here sooner but I had to close my google search for projected top pick of 2016 MLB draft
April 11, 201511 yr Ventura made a ballsy call that paid off huge Edited April 11, 201511 yr by fathom
April 11, 201511 yr Its been a while since these winner threads. Great job by Jeff bouncing back. Offense still having its issues at the top of the lineup. Robertson is a beast. Let's take the series tmr!
April 11, 201511 yr Got to hand it to Jeff Smardshark for bearing down after that rocky second ining. Maybe this is a good sign... I hope so. The game ended with Robrtson doing what we signed him to do. Awesome ending striking out the side. Shuck came through with his basehit to plate the eventual winning run
April 11, 201511 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) Sale needs to come back strong with a big outing tomorrow. Take this series, forget about this first week of the season, and get things going. Win tomorrow, get to 2-4, and suddenly the sting of the slow start isn't so bad.
April 11, 201511 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) I can't believe that Conor was out at home, still think that call was wrong. Totally agree.
April 11, 201511 yr Robertson was filthy! Nice all around effort after the 2nd inning. and Sale goes tomorrow! Edited April 11, 201511 yr by SouthWallace
April 11, 201511 yr I was really impressed with Soto today. I thought his offensive approach was solid. Robertson was filthy, it was nice to finally see him in a save situation. I'm glad Shark settled down after a shaky start. Lets get closer to .500 with a win tomorrow. Thank goodness Sale is back!
April 11, 201511 yr Sure was nice to have a stress-free no nail-biting closing of the game. Hope to see that many more times this year!
April 11, 201511 yr Soto looks like he could be a nice scrap heap find. Need the guys at the top of the order to get their head out of their asses though. Eaton and Melky have been horse s***.
April 11, 201511 yr QUOTE (SouthWallace @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) Robertson was filthy! Nice all around effort after the 2nd inning. and Sale goes tomorrow! The shadows help pitchers with a good breaking ball like him.
April 11, 201511 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 05:41 PM) The shadows help pitchers with a good breaking ball like him. Do they help find the strike zone? We should try it out with our other relievers
April 11, 201511 yr Team looked like a real baseball team after that awful top half of the 2nd. Hopefully we can turn things around now. Conor and Avi look really good at the plate so far, and Soto might play his way into the starting role. The top of the order needs to pick it up, but god damn it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Finally a win.
April 11, 201511 yr On another note was nice to see Melky make a nice catch. Can no longer deal with any remnants of the last season fiasco of DV or DeAza misjudge and not catch a fly ball on the run
April 12, 201511 yr I think those of us who b**** and moan a lot need to post after victories. Nice win today. Homers from two new guys and our closer was awesome and our set-up guy was effective. Gotta love that. I didn't get to watch the game so I don't know if the Sox were crisp defensively or not. Sounds like Shark did a nice job. I'm sure people were freaking during the 4-run second vs. a crappy Twins team. Good job White Sox. 1-4 is a start. Would be nice to win this series.
April 12, 201511 yr The White Sox looked like a little league team in the second. Avy took a terrible route in RF to start things off and then the wheels came off the wagon. Alexei made a great leaping stab at full extension, Melky had a nice snare in LF that wouldnt have been flagged down last year and Micah had a glove flip (if he transferred to hand, safe) that barely clipped the runner at 1b. Soto also threw out a runner at 2b ( review overturned safe call ), first caught stealing of the year.
April 12, 201511 yr During the 2nd inning, I thought this was loss 5 waiting to happen. We chipped away with good offense, good defense, and good pitching. I would like to see Soto start getting more starts here shortly, I think he will be better then Flowers
April 12, 201511 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 04:08 PM) God it feels good to see this thread again. Shocked Mike didn't make it. Just got back from a weeks vacation. I am deeply disappointed in all of you that you couldn't do better than 1-4. I hate all of you.
