QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:33 PM) Yea that reason is 100 percent wrong You should go look up the threads.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) There is absolutely a difference between posting patterns when the team is losing, losing big, and winning. Threads are always WAY longer when the team is losing, and biggest of all when losing big. If you don't believe me, then yes, ignorance is the answer. The question was why is the thread shorter... the answer is simple and I'm 100% sure - the game is not on CSN. Do people post more when the team is losing.. maybe. But the game threads are ALWAYS ALWAYS shorter non CSN nights... I'm betting the amount of people actually watching the game drops by 65-70%

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) Why so few people on the forum tonight? Because the game is on WPWR....

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) Thread sizes and who is in them speaks for itself. Wow the ignorance some of you are showing... You have never noticed that when the white sox games are not on CSN that the threads are much smaller? It's really that simple. A lot of us do not live in Illinois, or the Chicago area. must be trolling.. its the only answer I have.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:53 AM) Call the game. It's his job. Funniest part of this thread... one guy complains that Hawk is too silent... another dude complains that hawk talks too much.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 10:52 PM) The White Sox almost signed that meatball throwing pitcher for $125 million two years ago....how soon they forget. He's got a very solid ERA. Sometimes, movement and location are MUCH more important than velocity. The Yankees should know, Eovaldi and Pineda both can throw hard but no idea where it's going usually. Yeah his career ERA (hasn't pitched very long) is solid... he just looks so hitable...

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 10:52 PM) Tanaka's pretty good..... I guess it must be the motion or something... he throws some floating stuffs.

to get shut out by that meatball throwing pitcher was pretty embarrassing.

QUOTE (Coach @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 07:29 AM) Hawk has a lot information to give but my only complaint about him is he never shuts up. I realize he is there to speak but he should have realized after all these years, sometimes a little silence is a good thing. Stoney and Jason talk way way more....they have a little ongoing comedy act. Like Hawk it has it's ups and downs, but way less silence for sure.

guy continues to be unbelievable...

Yesterday Frazier took an outside pitch... and Hawk emphatically stated "I haven't seen him take an outside pitch like that in awhile... that's a great sign" Then in todays game Frazier said he had a bat last night where he saw the ball for the first time in awhile... and thought he was about to get hot. That's the kind of s*** that Hawk has that hardly anyone else does.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) Some times it looks like Abreu just gives AB's away. Looks at 2 pitches right down the middle them weakly waves at a pitch at least a foot outside. I just knew it a last.. he was getting hot. Then he missed that game and ever since he has been cold again. F******* knew it was going to happen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) larry southsidesox ‏@SouthSidelarry According to @baseballpro, which does the best job of calculating catcher value, the difference btw Navarro & Flowers this season is 3 wins. Wow... 3 wins is a lot.

This guy... he just looks like the real deal. Super quick bat.. and legit top end speed. A lot of times they call this guy or that guy fast... but this guy is legit super speed.

I kind of feel bad for him... he deserves to play more.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 11:08 PM) I don't believe he does. But man, he's so refreshing. The home broadcast is so listenable. Makes me wish Hawk would just call it quits. Yeah the game tonight was the definition of refreshing... if any announcer could be refreshing during that game then I must live in another baseball universe.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) Could totally be fine with firing Ventura after this lol. Something to wake the team up. Grasping at straws at this point. Ventura just doesn't have it... this team was dead tonight. They play with no confidence so often and look tight, and befuddled constantly.

His defense has been a surprise... Also has shown more power than I was guessing he has.

I'd call this game "The James Shield Effect"

Avila looking good lately.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) That's odd, considering it wasn't scheduled. I mean, it was scheduled the day before since he was injured and limping, but, to me, "scheduled day off" implies that it has been scheduled for more than a day. Easily could have been both.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 03:44 PM) He's injured. Yeah I got that... Ventura said he was available though. But then later on one of the announcers said a "scheduled day off"

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Damn pretty awful game for Abreu I didn't like the day off yesterday at all.. not when he was actually getting hot. Maybe he is hurting.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) The bullpen is severely taxed. Use a relief pitcher early and it can affect you fir a long time down the road Yeah need to get some innings out of Gonzalez.

Lawrie's been hot the last few games... keep it going.
