Samardzija vs Price

 

It should be a good game if Samardzija has his good stuff going. Does anyone know why there has been so many day games to start the season? I almost always miss day games during the week for one reason or another.

 

Go Sox!

A little surprised at Soto but I guess he's straight up Shark's personal catcher?

Doesn't seem like LaRoche will have much of a chance against Price. Against nasty lefties like Price, I wouldn't mind Flowers/Soto both being in the lineup at C/DH.

Yeah I thought he was going to be Samardzija's catcher most days.

That wouldnt happen, if whoever is playing C gets injured they are screwed

Not really. Then the DH just moves to catcher and your pitcher has to hit the rest of the game. Not really that big of a deal for one game in the rare instance that the starting catcher would get hurt.

It's a rare instance, but it's clear that teams are unwilling to take this chance. It's very rare that a team uses a catcher as a DH.

Ventura would be crucified at 35th and Shields if he did this and an injury happened.

And I've always though it was kind of stupid that teams are unwilling to do it. If your backup catcher is the best option at DH, play him. If the starter gets hurt, big deal you just have to play NL ball for a few innings.

Need ya, Jeff.

I'll be there.

 

Hoping to end my 7 game attendance losing streak, haven't seen a win IRL since 2010.

Since sweeping them at Comerica in April 2008, the Sox are 22-39 (.361) in that park.

Everything said above is true.

Shark is going to be Shark today. I can feel it.

Soxtalk.com sign in the crowd. Its a must

I'd crucify Ventura for dhing Flowers regardless.

Murphys law would dictate that it would happen to the Sox, and the pitcher spot would end up costing them

John Danks would hit into a quadruple play with the winning run on third and no outs.

LaRoche is going to be such a black hole today. So dumb. DH AVI

Pitcher-Catcher duos to form starting battery for both #Cubs & #WhiteSox:

Juan Pizarro & J.C. Martin

Jeff Samardzija & Geovany Soto

Just two

 

Interesting

If the manager isn't bright enough to call of a bunt with a two-strike count, he's not going to get this either.

Probably, but it would be unjust IMO. How many times throughout the entire year in the entire league does a team's catcher have to leave due to injury? 10? The odds of it happening are less than half of one percent. If he were to do this 2 or 3 times a week, then yeah, he's playing with fire. But if he does it every now and then and one time it backfires, so be it.
