Another poorly called game so far. Eaton's was a strike, yet Melky's was a ball? It was the same pitch.

Nice he is still interested in baseball. How about Mark as the next Sox manager?

 

Does he really strike you as the manager type?

 

Of all the ex-Sox that keep getting mentioned in connection with the job, he's the least likely to be interested.

Our cleanup hitter is hitting .200 with an OBP of .300. Is there a worse lineup anywhere in the Majors?

 

Still can't believe they haven't brought in another bat to upgrade over Shuck and Avi. What is Hahn waiting for, being double digits behind Cleveland?

Does anyone else have the feeling this July might be the best possible time to trade Melky?

 

(The obvious caveat is that it really puts a crimp in their ability to compete next season.) So if Hahn's still calling the shots, there's no way he will be dealt. If it's up to JR/KW....maybe. But that would mean the end of Hahn making decisions on personnel and that he would be a lame duck in the same way as Robin.

 

 

End of tonight, looking quite likely the division could be 4/5/7 games back of CLE. Very similar to the position the White Sox were in on May 6, up 6/7/8 over CLE/KC/DET.

I'm almost certain that I could strike out Todd Frazier right now. So damn predictable.

Tries to pull everything. Embarrassing hit skill right now

Sounds like Putnam's injury is long-term. There is just no way in hell this team is going to be able to hang around until mid-late July.

Not the best location on that fastball to Saunders.

 

Had the velocity, but that's not enough with these Toronto hitters.

Yep he's gonna be done for the season

Albers is nearly done. Petricka and Webb out. If Putnam's gone, there's no way for Ventura to hold that bullpen together with duct tape and baling wire.

 

Plus, the Blue Jays are out to sweep the Sox, returning the favor for our sweep of them in TOR to climb to 16-6 at the end of April.

Rodon can't find the plate again

Here we go again. Just awful command of his fastball

1-0

Not a bad inning from rodon. We need to score though, almost no one holds toronto to low scoring games.

This ump is inconsistent

Royals being murdered by the Astros, 9-0 (Volquez vs. Keuchel) and only in the 1st inning.

 

If the Jays and Twins don't end this, the Astros likely will next weekend.

 

 

With the Indians' best (Salazar) destroying the Tigers' best (Zimmermann) with a 7-0 lead, the Indians being by far the best team in the division is no longer in doubt.

Shuck needs to stop swinging at first pitch

Shuck always good for something bad at the plate this year.

 

Last year, he was surprisingly effective as a PH/defensive replacement/spot starter/PR. But exposed with regular playing time.

 

And Avi Garcia with an opportunity to add more nails to his coffin?

Shuck needs to steal here to avoid dp

Avi is such garbage.

Awful at bat by Avi. No plan at all

Can't hit when it matters most

Some bottom of the order. Hahn should be proud

White Sox baseball at its finest right there.

Awful at bat by Avi. No plan at all

 

I mean, "swing and miss at pitches out of the zone" is technically a plan. That's what we're paying Severson for!
