Go Sox!

Will be working again. Go Sox! 4 series wins in a row with the win today.

Must win. Go Q!

@chuckgarfein Dioner Navarro's career numbers:

As DH: .308/.357/.423

As C: .251/.310/.374

Navarro says he likes to DH. Only has to focus on 1 thing.

 

 

Bring up another catcher if he can hit well at DH and keep him there. Maybe that'd at least get his bat going and would take away his awful framing.

Alex Avila is batting 5th and DHing

Rather see Saladino at 3rd and Frazier DHing. Improves D and doesn't hurt O. Also risk, although slight, of losing DH spot.

Jose Quintana takes the mound today. In his last 9 starts, the White Sox have scored a total of 9 runs for him. He's 0-7. #EndTheCurse

Rather see Frazier at 1B with Abreu DH.

Is Saladino better at 3B than Frazier?

Frazier is good at 3B.

Frazier is good at 3B.

Not this year.

Yes

Abreu turned on that pitch nicely

Well, the offense will officially need to score a run.

Daunting task for Q.

Q struggling of late. ERA skyrocketing

Down 1-0 already

Bad umpiring so far

Sale gave up a homer in the first inning yesterday. It happens, Q is Q.

And the Sox offense is the Sox offense when he pitches. Chances are that 1 run is all Houston will need.

So many swings and misses today against average stuff

That was the most Avi at bat ever

Yeah, as much as people like to act like Q is a victim of poor run support, in the last couple of starts he's been a victim of not being very good. In the last five starts, he only has two quality starts (two of those starts were disasters, where he gave up more runs than IP). Out of 16 starts this season, he has 7 high quality starts (at least 7 IP, no more than 3 ER). By comparison, Chris Sale has 12 high quality starts and only one disaster start. If Jose Quintana wants to start winning ball games, he needs to start pitching better. Dude is certainly not an ace.

I miss Jason Benetti.
