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.

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.

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.

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 (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.

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.

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.

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!!
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?
Joy. I'd rather watch Beck, or Danish or pretty much anybody than Pelfrey. Hope he stays in Charlotte.
By June, I am hoping our rotation is Q, Rodon, Lopez, Giolito and one of Shields, Gonzo, and Holland.
