5/9 - White Sox @ Rangers Game Thread
kitekrazy replied to YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES!'s topic in 2016 Season in Review
QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:14 PM) To be fair our minor league hitters are a complete joke Nothing new under the sun. -
You have wonder if both Chi teams dominance is due to more bad teams this year.

QUOTE (South Sider @ May 8, 2016 -> 07:44 AM) Man, I thought Peavy was a crazy competitor but Sale takes the cake. When I saw him smacking his head with a baseball I'm just like... what is your problem dude!? Only in the press and the DL. Still IOM one of the most overrated Sox players ever. Meanwhile the Twins are just really, really bad.

I just noticed Abreau is a big dude. I wouldn't throw at him unless the bases were loaded and no one out,

Sox attended Lincecum showcase day - Angels expected to sign him

QUOTE (Tex @ May 6, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) I was just thinking doesn't releasing Danks put the team in a more honest negotiating position. Here is the spot for you. Look at the standings. Don't look at our offer. Look at the standings and here is your spot in the location. Why are you looking at the cash? I told you don't look at the cash, look at the standings. . . Athletes rarely look at it that way. -
QUOTE (Tony @ May 3, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Tim Lincecum...COME ON DOWN...You're the next contestant on White Sox 5th start roulette! Danks>broken down career NL. Then again maybe Coop can fix him.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 1, 2016 -> 12:40 PM) I love Lawrie's attitude, enthusiasm and energy. Much better than the lifeless dead clubhouse last year. I was a big fan of acquiring Lawrie when the idea was just a rumor and like the trade even more now. It didn't take long to notice that. They've improved in almost every position this year. If they become mediocre at least it won't be below mediocre like last year. If there is chemistry in baseball the difference so far is the chemistry of a few season's past is broken up.

Meanwhile Texas looked really bad like White Sox lack of fundamentals bad. -
***Gamethread 4./20 - Angels vs White Sox***
kitekrazy replied to Bigsoxhurt35's topic in 2016 Season in Review
I don't think we would be winning these games a year ago. From the little I've seen of this team they just seem so much better on defense. Eaton is a kick ass RF. -
QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 08:13 AM) I had never watched Frazier hit, until this year. I'm trying to figure out how he ever was able to put up the numbers he did. He doesn't even look "dangerous," as Hawk likes to say. Surely he has altered something in his mechanics and approach. This can't be the guy who hit 25 home runs, the first half of last season. I think it's facing pitchers he hasn't seen before. He's still useful in the field at a position they had trouble filling.
-
QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 01:50 PM) Sucks that the pitching has to throw 2 hitters in order to win That's why they are called aces.
-
QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) I can enjoy the winning and be happy about the team while also realizing the Frazier trade was a bad one. How so? I guess if the organization wants instant results they need to avoid NL players. I'm not really surprised by his start. It could be worse if he wasn't good at defense. Yet the organization seems to repeat this without looking at the history. I think it was a great trade since he's not an aging NL veteran.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 02:05 PM) Yeah.. The offense will be a concern all season long. With this offense, Danks will have double digits losses by the end of June. With the exception of Danks- I really like the rotation and bullpen but this offense will give us ulcers all season long. If they plan on really competing in 2016, they better get a bat sooner rather than later. It isn't any different than most seasons. You cripple yourself by getting guys from the NL that will take some time to adjust to AL pitchers. It's still a better team than last year.

Color me impressed. 1-0 complete game shutout. It's still a win.

Who do you believe is MOST guilty in the Laroche situation?
kitekrazy replied to knightni's topic in Pale Hose Talk
There should have been Yawn - let's get back to baseball. -
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 07:59 AM) This season is already off to a fantastic start. I think the whole situation is a ploy to make the Sox significant some way in Chicago. All of the focus is usually on the other side of town now that they have gotten much better at baseball.
-
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 01:47 PM) It isn't a black or white thing. I think they are both right. The Sox have the right to control the work environment, and LaRoche has the right (and ability) to quit his job and do what he wants to do. More power both of them. I don't get LaRoche choosing that as an issue to quit on, but if he believes it in that much, good for him to stand up for it. You can't quit on a contract without repercussions. Retirement is the option. My theory is he's an older player and now having back problems doesn't bode well for an aging career.

Who are the worst players in White Sox history?
kitekrazy replied to YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES!'s topic in Pale Hose Talk
Wayne Nordhagen behind the plate or anywhere. Never had a clue when there was men on base, or anything going on in the field. -
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 02:28 PM) My reaction is: fair price for the player returned, totally the wrong type of move for this franchise. Please elaborate.

Sox Acquire All-Star 3B Todd Frazier from Reds in 3 team deal
kitekrazy replied to Princess Dye's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Glad they didn't give up something major. Will this be the third veteran NL player that can't get it done in the AL? This is my worry. At least he can play the field. It didn't cost us Q. Great trade. -
QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 11:36 PM) He has potential still, but why don't the A's want him? Beane is a genius and he wants no part of him. I wonder if he'll be coachable or if as a No. 1 draft pick he'll be difficult for Robin. I'd feel better about this deal if he didn't have the reputation as a jerk and the fact Mr. Beane wanted to get rid of him so badly. Just curious if anyone knows if the A's have a guy they wanted to bring up in his spot.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 11:05 PM) I hated Swisher more than any other player ever to criss paths within the Sox system so I'm glad you brought him up....wait no I'm not.... I hate that duechebag! Why would you bring that guy up man?! I just wish we got to see how well Gonzalez would have fared under the Sox.
-
QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:55 PM) I need one of you negative miserable posters to tell me how this is a bad move. One! Please! So I can laugh at you and talk about you to my entire family as you personally being a representative for all negative moronic Soc fans that are impossible to please. Maybe history is the best teacher. How many of them benefited the Sox? It's not so much what they gave up but what they got and made a negative impact. Smarj and Swisher come to mind. Still looks great on paper but since it was Oakland does history prevail?

If you had 5 guys hitting decent, Flowers doesn't seem so bad.
