QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2015 -> 02:09 PM) Is retiral a word? Number retiring/retirement ceremony. Carry on. Retiral is a word, it's in the Oxford English Dictionary and its roots are Scottish, which is where I'm from. If you guys can miss out the U in colour, then I can use retiral.

Avi G has been scratched from the line up due to a sore knee. Possibly the Shuckmeister taking his place.

QUOTE (gatnom @ May 22, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) Is there a fan base out there that hates itself more than ours? The Red Sox fan base are pretty down on themselves at the moment. I've seen people wanting to set Buchholz on fire. We're down on ourselves but not that bad

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2015 -> 02:00 PM) We're going to the playoffs every year? Yeah! I'll take that. Happy Rodon Day

7 innings 0 hits 21 strikeouts 4 walks and he'll be hailed as the new Clayton Kershaw.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 2, 2015 -> 04:22 PM) I have always liked what Gillaspie brigs to the table against RH pitching,but he has been putrid. Hoping to see Gordon out there today. Eaton and LaRoche need to step it up big time. I feel like alexei has been squaring the ball up for a good chuck of his ABs, w not much to show for it. I don't worry as much about him. Its Gillaspie and his injury I worry most about. Flowers is hitting what I expected him to hit and Eaton and La Roche will come out of the slump. I keep wondering if La Roche playing more at 1st base and Abreu playing more at DH will improve our defense and bring La Roche out of the slump.

It comes down to half our line up hitting poorly. Eaton .192 Ramirez .197 Gillaspie .208 La Roche .208 Flowers .217 Compare that to the 4 players that are actually hitting ok. Johnson .250 Cabrera .263 Abreu .278 Avi Garcia .310 Robin has tried to shake things up by batting Johnson at Lead off and playing Shuck instead of Eaton but if the hitters don't come out of a slump, then we may see more of Beckham, Soto and Bonafacio. Our hitters are woeful at the moment.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) So is Samardzija or Sale pitching tomorrow? Who is going for the Orioles? Supposed to be Samardzija v Ubaldo Jimenez

Looking at both teams schedules May 28th is the only date I can see that would make sense as a make up date, I struggle to find 2 that are sensible. The O's are in the middle of a homestand and we leave Toronto on 27th May

Having learned that they are appealing the Wild Aces suspension, Johnson won't be called up, it will be pen arm probably Webb. When Sale and Shark are suspended it wouldn't surprise me to see Johnson up to cover a start

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 09:11 PM) I'd be very surprised if it was Erik Johnson. Is his 0.75 ERA in 12 innings at Charlotte not good enough for a call up?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 06:51 PM) No chance it's Carroll. They won't waste a 40 man spot on him. There's three pitchers that make sense. Raul Fernandez who has been dominant in AA and is on 40 man roster. Any interesting option from Charlotte would require dumping someone off the 40 man roster. I would guess that guy would be Leury Gacia and the two pitchers being Chris Beck for a spot start of Maikel Cleto. Most likely to be Erik Johnson to cover a start as he's still on the 40 man. Possibility of Frankie Montas to cover a start then drop to the pen once the Aces Wild come back from suspension.
