Jose Abreu

So you guys are fine with Avila facing lefties on a regular basis (relievers, when a RHP starts) because of your belief in this "second catcher" stuff?

good pitching so far for Petricka

Christopher Kamka ‏@ckamka 3m3 minutes ago Carlos Rodon last 10 starts (dating back to 2015) 1.73 ERA, 67.2 IP, 48 H, 61 K, 27 BB, 5 HR, .202 Opp BA #WhiteSox

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) so does Navarro start getting the bulk of the starts He should IMO. I think he's better all-around than Avila

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 09:13 PM) If you're losing and you have nothing to lose, I see the argument. But when youre winning, eh, just protect the lead. He gets hurt that lead evaporates fast. But again, the chances of that injury happening are far less than 1%. The chances of MN coming back, scoring 3+ runs, and that AB meaning something, are more than 1%. ABSOLUTE worst-case scenario, Navarro gets hurt in the 2.5 innings, and we have to go with Saladino/Lawrie at catcher (since they used to be catchers), but the odds of that happening are puny.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 09:10 PM) Up three runs they probably aren't going to use their last catcher in the 7th. I've never bought into the "last catcher" nonsense. The odds of Navarro getting hurt in the next 2.5 innings are microscopic.

Leaving Avila to face a LHP? Isn't that the whole reason Dioner Navarro is on this team?!

I've said it all along, he's a totally useful roster spot!

ok nevermind

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) And the walks continue for Carlos.. hopefully he figures this out, but 5 BBs is not cool. What game are you watching...? edit- just saw you say that you haven't been watching only 2 of those walks were legit

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:58 PM) How about f*** it and let Rodon show how bad ass he is Works for me!

GREAT job by Rodon to pitch around a horrible umpire.

Kurt Suzuki, Billy Butler, and Ryan Raburn are the last 3 people I'd want to face with the bases loaded, and of course, we're facing one of them

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) kepler looks like their version of sands I wonder how, since he's a lefty, a Kepler/Sands platoon would fare.

huge strikeout. now get this next guy

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Someone who can get somebody out Ok, then we can't use Albers/Jones/whomever you're referring to later in the game and your problem persists.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Oh great Petricka.. It's the 6th inning. Who do you want to see?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) Looked like Jose telling Sano or whatever the f*** his name is how lucky he is to be standing on 1st base. haha, you will definitely know his name soon he's gonna hit 40 bombs a year

This ump SUCKS.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) This is officially one of the sixty that goes either way. 54 man, get it right!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) Reminder Rollins is 2-3 to be fair, one of them was a swinging bunt

that "strike" was outside. horrible zone tonight

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Abreu vs Sands. Don't think we'll have a problem here. well, we scored but it wasn't pretty

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Wow, thought that was routine 4-6-3 DP. Me too at first, didn't understand Hawk's immediate positive reaction

PLEASE get this run in. Man on 3rd with zero outs again.
