Dude how does this umpire have a job?

Lawrie in a slump

lol wow...

David Robertson has been solid this year.. but I've just never been overly confident in him. He seems soft.

Laz Diaz lol.... he just is so bad.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 8, 2016 -> 11:33 PM) It was the most visceral reaction Stone has had since he joined the Sox broadcast. Proved how comfortable and excellent he can be acting as the true color man rather than being a bit player as Hawk dominates the broadcast, minimizing Stone's incredible incite. I think stone is decent... but I've never personally thought anything he said was "incredible insight." I never thought Hawk was Mr. Incredible insight either. I have to laugh though sir... you accused me of being "superlative" laden... when really that is so far from my style. Then in this one post you are heavy with the superlatives... "most visceral" ... "incredible"

The Twinland joke was pretty hilarious..... I liked him a lot better a couple weeks ago. Last game, at times, he was way too corny. I think he could be good... but he has to learn the balance. Not everything that pops into his head is joke worthy.

don't dislike the guy... but today he was pretty bad. Horrible jokes and some other things.

That's two nights 1 and 3 and no one out and Abreu struck out. Can't have that S*** and Abreau knows it.

Jose just has to get smarter at the plate... for as good as he is He could be a god if he would just learn to be more patient.

11-24 since April 25th... that was the first game I thought he looked different. Nearly hitting .500 over that time.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 6, 2016 -> 09:44 PM) I'm not buying it but I'm loving it for now. Hope he keeps this up! It's definitely early.. but he clearly is taking a much different approach. In the last two weeks when he played I saw him take more pitches then the entire last season...

I like how the umpire kept saying to ventura "that's baseball"... it really looked like he said that at least twice. That just made me really hate the Minnesota Twins... jones was obviously not trying to hit Park with a 10-4 lead. Molitor just trying to light a fire under his team I'm sure. I wanted someone to beat the F*** out of May.

I've never seen Avi this patient... really looks awesome. I wish a couple of our other players would take notice. Making the pitcher throw you strikes works pretty well.

I've seen Avi hot before... but this is different. I've never seen him this patient before and its the entire key for him (really a lot of hitters who struggle). Let's just hope he can keep it up and not fall into his old habits.

Is Buerhle realistically an option? I have mixed emotions about that.

Hawk is definitely one of the most hated and most loved announcers I've ever encountered.

It's really hard in baseball to say this is a tough schedule ect ect. As Hawk says... it's not who you play but when you play them.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 2, 2016 -> 10:39 AM) Nothing has changed in the past two seasons. That is just plain false... but I can tell people are going to stick to their guns no matter what. I'm not even saying he is better or worse overall. But he is for sure without a doubt more mellow the past couple years. Wow is all I can say really...

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 2, 2016 -> 07:55 AM) harkness told me that this doesnt happen anymore. At least not in the past 2 years since he got a talking to. You must have been watching something else I guess you missed the part where he said it was a great umpired series and THEN this guy did what he did. The last couple years Hawk has been trying to be nice to the umpires (because he was given directives). The other day was the first day in a long while where the umpire incurred so much of his wrath... and deservedly so.

I don't Hate Bennetti.... he seems pretty likable. But I love Hawk... even though he is has his moments. So many people hate Hawk as an announcer... because he is such a homer. And that's why I love him for baseball... because of how much a homer he is - he feels the exact way I do. Benetti is smart and has a good sense of humor. Maybe some day he will learn to love the White Sox like Hawk does and I will sense that in his voice. Or maybe it will just be another job for him ... we will see.

well the first at bat was horrible... ump screwed it up. Jackson grounding into a double play is horrible and all on him. That sequence of events reminded me of the sox 2012-2014

That was an awesome win.... never gave up.

huge huge win

Avi has looked really good lately... seems like he is not swinging at every pitch.
