QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:56 AM) I wouldn't go as far as Leesman. He's simply not ML material. It was just ridiculous after the first bad inning everyone was saying "f*** Rienzo" and then in the 6th he's better than Erik Johnson. It's silly. This game is cyclical and small sample sizes are nothing to get worked up about. Rienzo is what he is. He's got pretty decent stuff but he's not the smartest pitcher. That being said, he's a competitor and he can get through, or perhaps gets past, tough innings. He's a fringe #5 type and could be a factor in the bullpen. Right now, with injuries, he's a decent option to have. He really needs to start getting more first pitch strikes though. I don't know if it was just when I was watching or what but he had fallen behind off the bat way too much. Hawk and Stone were right that he was wrong to abandon his curveball in the early going. Isn't his curve one of his better pitches? It just baffles me how the White Sox pitchers fall behind that much.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 08:30 AM) Oh using the word makes me stupid? I understand. I'll check with you next time I type something. I think he was referring to your misogynistic overtone in the post.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 06:45 AM) Avila said he kinda figured out how to get Abreu out in the series in Detroit. After the first game he had one hit in nine at bats with six strikeouts, interesting to see how he does. Although its never easy facing guys like Verlander and scherzer Jose will adjust and start crushing those fools. (Meathead soxfan)

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) Or he's trying to take the pressure off of Semien by putting him 9th? From what I've seen this year, Beckham's probably the better bet to hit behind the runner if needed than Semien is anyways. Nothing to lose with this move. Based on what?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 03:56 PM) I haven't looked through this whole thread so forgive me if this was posted already: Golden.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 12:47 PM) That is the real bad part. People really shouldn't be surprised by this and he should have been kicked out a long time ago. This is on David Stern. He refused to take a stand against the POS that was Sterling. He's been the worst owner in professional sports for a long time and he's also a turd of a human being and calling him a turd is being nice. FTFY

Sterling is done for. He is a racist and will go down in flames for this.

I'm pretty green when it comes to pitchers but what separates top of the rotation guys from back of the rotation guys? Is it subjective?

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 11:34 AM) Heinrich had 4 of their 16 turnovers. He was terrible, but only had one more turnover than Noah and Taj had. Did you see the amount bricks that clown shot up. Yeah, if you're going to give up the rock for points you better get them back.

Well the Bulls played like crap and Hinrich was an uber turnover machine. Taj was beasting. I love that guy. I think the Bulls win the next game and then drop the 4th contest in Washington.

Just got home, how is Carroll? Potential or just lucky?

Tflo is trying to work the count but he watches some very hittable pitches go by. If he starts crushing them, he'll wall EVEN more.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 11:19 PM) That pitch was a meatball. Paulie with the fire may have got Balfour too wound up. I'm curious as to what Balfour said.

I JUST HAD A HEART ATTACK!

Hawk is such a clown.

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 thought they played Miguel up the middle. What's up with that defensive alignment.

We all saw that coming. You guys are delusional to think otherwise.

Beckham is slow.

How is Hawk going to pick to click Beckham. He's a buffoon.

Who are the Sox five pitchers?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 08:11 PM) All against lefty relievers. He took Kluber yard.

Danks missed his chance to be the hero, now he's the goat.

Can Jordan do it? He has to change his approach and stop that goofy looking long swing of his.

Nice bounce back inning for Rienzo.
