This one kind of saddens me as Denlinger and I went to the same high school, tho a decade and a half apart. A friend of mines daughter is married to Theo's brother. Shortly after Theo was drafted I met him at my local tavern and talked to him for quite awhile regarding the draft process and the things the White Sox instructed him to work on and things like that. It was quite interesting. I was really hoping he would make it with the White Sox.

Who? The Angels?

If the Cubs are actually in it like Ross says then it can't be the Sox. We play them May 3rd & 4th (Cubs Home) and May 28th & 29th (Sox Home). Corn ain't real high in May.

That's completely unacceptable. I live in very rural Wisconsin. Went to a free drive thru test site and had my results in less than 48 hours. That kind of turnaround for a free test could help slow the spread. Not having to wait 16 days.

Thanks. Luckily, to my knowledge anyways, nobody that I had contact with got infected. A couple people I had been around got tested but came back negative. That was my biggest fear was that I infected someone else. Guess I had an ill advised sense of comfort living in my small town of 1000 people and maybe wasn't as careful as I should have been.

Today is my first day back at work after being off for 2.5 weeks after testing positive. I had every symptom on the list other than the lost of taste and smell. Never got overly sick but lost 12 pounds in 5 days. Had zero appetite and some pretty bad diarrhea. I got lucky as my case seemed to be mild, but even with my mild case I lose my breath doing anything physical at all. Even walking from the couch to the bathroom I have to take a couple minutes to catch my breath.

I've only gone to roughly 20 or so games in my life but my most memorable was The Big Hurt's return with Oakland. 2 HR game that ended with a Pablo Ozuna walk off bunt single to score AJ with 2 outs. That game was the turning point in Frank's season too. .178/.300/.378 slash before it, a .302/.408/.603 slash after. The rest of that season Frank looked like mid '90s Frank all over again at age 38.

His WHIP? Really? That is not an advanced stat.

Just for clarification, Frick Award winners are not actually inducted into the hall and are not technically considered HOFers. It is just an award given out by the HOF.

That is a pretty studly middle of the order there. If Robert and Madrigal end up being what we hope we are definitely going to score some runs.

See ya.

You can also still win a batting title if you don't reach the qualifying PA's. Your average, for leaderboard purposes, is just calculated as if you had enough hitless at bats to reach the qualifying mark. Tony Gwynn did so in '96.

That's really a worry of yours? Like you honestly believe there's a possibility of that happening?

Who would have guessed coming into the season that McCann would become our 4 hitter with a .900+ OPS and probably an All Star? Anybody raising their hand is a freaking liar.

In 2012 Peavy had a 3.37 ERA, 3.73 FIP, 3.99 xFIP across 219 IP. Accumulated 5.0 rWAR, 4.4 fWAR and made the All Star team. I don't think he really fits here.

This is such a minor risk that it should never preclude you from doing it if that is your best lineup. Worst case your pitcher may have to bat a time or two (so not really any worse than half our lineup).

Exactly. Never understood the hate for that guy. He made just 30 starts with the Sox and put up 4.8 fWAR, what the hell more do people want from the guy?

He has a .304/.385/.478 line over the last 7 games. No way you demote him now that he's started hitting.

I'll never understand why people care so much about this. If McCann gets hurt and Castillo has to come in the pitcher or pinch hitter has to bat the rest of the game. Not the end of the world.

Guess I'm not understanding all the b****ing. Guys need to pitch and if they didn't pitch today it would be a minimum of 4 days off for Herrera and 5 days off for Jones, and that's only if there get in the game Friday.

Why do we need Covey? Just let Rodon throw 200 pitches.

Pre-White Sox Dunn was just "a useful player"? No, pre-White Sox Dunn was on pace for 600+ homers and a spot in the HOF.

This offense could be fun to watch at times. That 2-7 could end up hitting 150-160 homeruns this year.

Thome. And Dick Allen's '72 season is probably the 2nd greatest season a White Sox player has ever had including Frank Thomas.

Dye didn't even lead his team in wRC+ or OPS+ that year.
