Everybody who pays attention to my posts knows I hate this team, but does it seem like a much worse team that its record to you? How is this team not 14 under .500 like cincy?

Great manager.

Sox hitters befuddled by assortment of slow slower and slowest pitches.

Trout's due for a bomb against the Sox.

Anyone know the answer to my question?

With the exception of his grand slam against Sale last year, I don't really remember him hurting us too much. Just checked his career splits, and among teams he's played at least 20 games against (basically all of the AL teams), he has the lowest OPS against us (.818) in 27 games and 113 PA. Of course it's still a pretty small sample size.

Will shark still be considered a Type A free agent after this horrendous season he's having?

no way

Anyone know the answer to my question?

 

There are no more type A B or C free agents.

So how does it work? As long as the sox make a qualifying offer and he rejects the sox are compensated with the signing teams first round pick?

Hawk really beating the "Kansas City special" phrase into the ground

The team that makes the qualifying offer that gets declined receives a sandwich pick as long as that player is signed by the date of the next draft.

I really really really really hate to say this but Flowers and CERA just might be something to it.

If the contact play was on then to my eyes Sanchez scores . Anyone see it differently ?

Saladino just can't hit

Two RBI opportunities and two hacking at the first pitch.

 

Seriously... the execution is just not there.

He chickened out. I rather him get thrown out at home there.

It's like the hitters didn't know what Weaver would throw tonight

Flowers is an adequate catcher in today's major league baseball. Very few catchers can hit a lick. He has been much worse this year, admittedly. His homer numbers are down.

The White Sox to the naked eye are a.) poorly coached. b.) poorly put together (no power no speed no defense) and poor emotionally (players do not do the little things, do not really do anything to help the team win). The only thing this team has been decent at is winning games in extra innings.

yes - IF someone signs him by a certain date (sometime in June I think).

Sit on one pitch from Weaver... and crush the s*** out of it.

Late on fastball and early on the slow stuff. The effort at the plate this series has been disappointing

Actually no they get a compensation pick between the 1st annd 2nd round . Don't know how they figure out the pick but it'll probably be in the low 30's. The team signing him gives up their 1st round pick and all other team just move up in order .

Put Shark out there for the 6th but if someone gets on leading off pull him. His magic at can't last much longer .

He's been pretty lucky tonight.
