QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 06:25 PM) Dude (OK)...we KNOW how this s*** is going to play out, that's the entire purpose of a rebuild correct? And I'm fine with that...I don't care if they lose 95 games (and the odds are they will) just play the damn game correctly...set the tone for the future, let the "kids" know stupid baseball won't be tolerated (looking at you Avi LOL). You missed that point in your diatribe it seems. Mark No, I didn't miss the point at all.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 06:09 PM) Just an opinion on this. I'm all for the rebuild however the culture of losing that has established itself with this franchise also needs to be dramatically altered. That means you can't wait for the "kids" to come up and suddenly start stressing fundamentals, situational hitting, good base running and defense. IT STARTS NOW...TODAY. The current players on the big league roster need to be held accountable by Renteria. That means if you can't make contact with a man on 3rd and less than two out, if you make an out at 3rd on the bases with less than two out, if you can't get down a bunt or play your position you are held accountable. What does that mean? Benching, being waived or getting sent down...if the kid coming up is worse...who cares? Rebuilding right? But it's time the Sox established certain expectations regardless of who is on the roster. We've seen this same crap for years now going back to the last few seasons of Ozzie. And now that I think about it, I recall jerry Manuel (aka Manager Gandhi) saying the in "today's" baseball defense wasn'tmportant. Right..... Mark Dude it's been 5 games. I love how Renteria has managed the games so far (except not pinch hitting for May in the 7th, tho I understood the move). Let's see how this sh** plays out for a bit longer before we state this is the "same crap for years" or "new faces same results". Those comments would accurately describe your posts, however.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 04:21 PM) That's the "White Sox way..." Terrible situational hitting & fundamentals. Managers change, players change...results don't. And speaking of not changing how about that run support for Q?????????????????????????? Incredible that he hasn't lost his mind by now. Mark Lol.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) It's going to be very nice to see when we have Moncada up during those crucial run-scoring opportunities instead of Carlos sanchez, who IMO will be the one sent down when Moncada is up. (Not familiar with Sanchez's option situation, however). He is out of options. But I agree.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 03:25 PM) You have Saladino on the bench and let May bat? Yah, Saladino even better but then you're out of bench guys unless you put Saladino in the OF, and him or Avi in CF.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 03:24 PM) Why is May batting? I was hoping to see Leury, but probably just giving May a vote of confidence this early on the year. Would have been a nice spot for Raburn.

I wish they would have let Q get thru the 7th.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 02:06 PM) Poor Jacob May It's a shame we literally have no other options until Tilson comes back. I'd give Leury a couple in a row to start the Cleveland series.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 09:52 AM) You forgot Dan Jennings, who will be traded if he's a decent season, as there is always a market for left-handed relievers. He is also controlled through 2019. Jennings should net a decent piece or two. Same with Putnam. Big being controlled through 2019 is valuable.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 05:07 PM) Rymer Liriano went on the DL at Charlotte. What happened to him?

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 04:30 PM) Agree. He's brutal in the field and his baseball intelligence is very low. He'll get hot for a week or two offensively but then slump right back down. Granted its not a big deal this year with rebuilding but he needs to be let go when its over. Let a kid play who may have a future. Mark Avi is exactly the type of guy that should be playing right now. He looks good at the plate. His usual self in the field, admittedly. I am not a huge Avi fan, but you keep running him out there.

Nice W. Let's get the series tomorrow.

Too bad he can't play any centerfield.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 12:15 PM) While I am fully on board with the tank and rebuild, I am rooting for the Sox to win up until it's obvious they aren't any good. If they want to make that July or August instead of May I'm fine with that. If the team is winning more then expected it's because guys are having solid seasons and increasing their trade value or are proving good players for the next playoff team. If Matt Davidson wants to go ahead and hit 250/320/440 I am not arguing but cheering. + tax.

The Twins are not good at baseball. Win 2/3.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 04:42 PM) It was warmer than expected. It was less windy than expected. It worked out ok. Now I want to see Quintana pitch well on Sunday. We can all get behind that!!

Flavum..still think this game should have been called? lol

LOL @ AVI

Glad I decided to steam Geo in my 16 teamer this am....

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 03:37 PM) what's the origin of that gif? Here you go....

IT IS SUNNY!!!

Well that didn't take long.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 12:03 PM) We're gonna win the World Serious Some of those dude's videos are too good.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) First off, if they're setting a rotation with fans in mind, they're playing with fire. I haven't second guessed anything this week- I've first guessed. Today should have been called. The Twins series should have been Shields, Holland, and Gonzalez. Quintana on Tuesday for the Indians home opener. I think you're just mad that your "they can just send the Tigers home Tuesday night" line didn't come to fruition. This is professional baseball in April. You don't cancel a game due to low 40s temps and wind. Get your ass out there and play.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 11:05 AM) Quintana starting Sunday. The Sox have made a lot of mistakes this week. What's wrong with that? You'd rather watch Covey?
