Such an easy out now. I miss 2014 first half Abreu

Have you watched the game tonight?

Abreu just needs to realize he's going to get offspeed pitches once he has two strikes.

And after you let that opportunity slip by....here comes the runs from the opposition. God, I hope I am wrong.

Betances learned about throwing 97 MPH at Abreu. He can hit fastballs, breaking balls... not so much.

Seems that way the last week

This team will go no where with Rollins as the #2 hitter. Bury him in the bottom of the order or put him on the bench.

If he didn't swing at the 2-1 ball then he probably gets a 3-1 fastball that he can hit

Wonder how Robin will defend calling for a bunt after the pitcher had thrown 8 straight balls with a hot hitter up

Albers either hurt or they are getting him rest

Putnam in instead of Albers. Interesting.

I don't mind. Albers hasn't been very good lately

Putnam is underused and Albers has been exposed lately. Fine with this.

 

Not fine with that bunt. Never fine.

It was fine, Saladino messed up by going after the bad pitch

Tie game, no lead. Putnam makes sense.

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 44s44 seconds ago

Some position changes:

 

Alex Avila takes over at catcher

Tyler Saladino moves to shortstop

Carlos Sanchez takes over at 3rd base.

White Sox have had their share of those 42 games in the last week.

 

We won last Monday when we shouldn't have, and the Sale start...but we're 0-3/0-4 in the other winnable games that could have gone either way (although you could argue the Q start we got dominated by the Yankees' pen and didn't deserve to win it any more than they did.)

Rollins/Navarro got pulled

Looking more and more like we were all fooled by the hot start.

I could be wrong, but it even seemed to me that his bunt attempts were on pitches out of the strikezone.

Putnam over Albers...?

 

Hmmm.

f***ing Tyler White...

White out tonight f***

And here we go

This bullpen is just bad right now. Can't throw same pitch 6 straight times

Tyler White, certified Sox killer. You could see this coming after blowing that last half inning.
