defense will cost this kid and the Sox

seems like Carroll I just missing on some close pitches or ump is blind

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 08:13 PM) Offense is MIA This is just my own feeling and comment but Price is trying to get our guys like Abreu out on high ones at top of zone. I am betting that as we get to see Prie a third time that one of our guys makes him pay

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 08:09 PM) You wouldn't be saying that if you saw how good they are live in this video: That is a GREAT song

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 08:04 PM) A 9 pitch inning as Carroll rolls up Longo for the GIDP. Hope we can break through for some runs and win this guys debut. Would be an awesome thing

The plus for Carroll will be that ability to get the ground ball outs. We need that at C(omiskey)ell. Plus movement and attack the zone as others have said also helps

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) Hawk s***ting on Semien for swinging at a ball four. f*** off Hawk, Beckham constantly does that. The truth hurts I guess. He is over matched right now

Everryone seems to be leaning towards an injury. He may just be in that rut as a rooke where he got banged around and lost his confidence. Hope that's the case and now Carroll is up to let us see what he has got. Should be an interesting game Sunday

Beckham

Viciedo

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 05:17 AM) Jose Abreu is just disgusting. My word that man is strong and clutch. Suck it Grant Balfour. Don't f*** with Paul Konerko. Agreed! That was all on Balfour too. I have never known Paul Konerko to exchange words with a pitcher like that. Konerko is a true professional.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 12:48 PM) Yeah, Lindy sucked again and really should be removed from that role, but there was a lot of good relief pitching that kept us in the game yesterday. The bottom line is we won and that's the most important thing, but our pitchers walked 11 last night. I believe seven of those were by the relief pitchers. You can't maintain success with that many walks. I hope Nate Jones can step up and take the closers role hen he gets back.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 12:59 AM) Because Beckham hasn't played much 3B since 2009, whereas Semien has shown the ability to play all three positions recently. Maybe if a team looking to acquire Beckham asked Hahn to see him there a couple of times, but the risk of reinjuring the oblique/strain (at another position) is probably a couple of degrees higher than at the one position he's most comfortable and familiar with. There are lots of faster/reaction/quick twitch plays at 3B, and then he would also have to make the throw across the diamond and against his body coming in on the bunt. That's a good way to get hurt again. Semien also has the better arm for 3B...although Gordo's is decent. Beckham never played 3B before 2009 and did a great job. He was a SS in college and the minors. Sox moved him to 2B and he is a plus defender there too. Semien right now seems to be the ideal super IF sub. He can play all three positions. There is nothing wrong in todays game to have such aperson. In thje past they were seen as a fillin but today they play an integral role in building a roster.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 07:15 PM) What's to say they didn't see a fixable glitch or a tipping of pitches? The assumption doesn't have to be that the organization is stupid. I am with you on this line of thinking but it does get old figuring that Cooper can fix em all. First you need something that can be fixed

Abreu

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 06:06 PM) Again, I never said I don't like Marcus Semien. I just find it hysterical he performs worse than other players who get maligned, and gets praised for it, just because of Gordon Beckham venom. If Gordon Beckham had exactly the same season as Semien, people would be calling for his release. Don't think there aren't Sox "fans" on here that are hoping beyond hope Beckham is 0-4 today with 4 strikeouts so they can tell you how bad he is. They wouldn't be saying, yeah he's on pace to strikeout over 200 times and doesn't get on base much, but those strikeouts are helping the offense. Or they wouldn't be making excuses that he strikes out because he works counts. He's walked 6 times, the same amount as Dayan Viciedo with about 50% more plate appearances. The guy could use some time in AAA, if it comes to that. Personally, I say get him some OF experience. He does have a knack to get the big hit. You could move him around. Playing LF wouldn't be hard on him. Your exactly right. Sad the way we have such disrespect for Sox players

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 09:28 PM) I'm happy with the split in Detroit considering we gave Detroit a game. If Danks wasn't a defensive wizard, he'd be a goat. He should not be hitting first. I don't know how long of a leash Beckham has but I'd rather have Gilaspie's bat in the lineup. I am sure his "leash" will be more then one game certainly

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:18 PM) He's done in a White Sox uniform. well for that at bat anyway

I like Flowers... all kinds

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:06 PM) Actually 2,220 AB's, but who's counting. Apparently someone is

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:05 PM) Over/under on Beckham having a BA over .240 with the White Sox in 2014? I'll wager any amount on the under. Care to take that bet? You just don't get over oblique strains easily. Hawk is right about that one thing. And a 100% healthy Beckham wasn't that good in the first place offensively. You have a 50/50 chance of winning that or failing. Were is your money first?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:03 PM) Semien is in the line up today. Beckham is basically taking an injured Gillaspie's place. Don't ruin a good rant with the facts

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:02 PM) AlAl is warming. We can beat these guys and that pen of theirs. Question is can ours keep the lead LOL

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 07:56 PM) Beckham is just done in a White Sox uniform. Granted, it's Max Scherzer, but Max is throwing in the low 90's today...not 95-98. Wow! First game back in the bigs since ST and he's already history?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 07:55 PM) Beckham's going yard Nice thought anyway. Gordon has to get his timing back against a major league pitcher and it can't be easy facing Scherzer in your first game back
