4 pitch walk, calm down Rodon!

Rodon coming in?

Two softly hit singles, come on Hector, we need you to get out of this.

I guess getting Viciedo out of the lineup hasn't really improved things unfortunately.

Our guys really suck at working counts.

Noesi's changeup looks good today.

God damnit.

Nice pitch for the K! Two more like that Hector and then hand it over to Rodon.

Nice to see we still suck at holding runners. I miss Buehrle.

You don't have to call for a high fastball after every 0-2 count Flowers.

Where was that last week Adam?

6 in a row retired by Noesi, keep it going.

I know he struck out but that was a decent AB by Flowers.

C'mon Hector you're pitching for your job right now.

It would never happen but say Noesi and Danks suddenly start pitching lights out for the next two months, do you keep Rodon in the pen or send him down in that situation?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 12:42 PM) Thanks for that but like most of their stuff it left me wanting less oratory and more actual analysis. Oh well. Rodon has a filthy slider, write poems to it. I just hope he contributes to a playoff team this year. Agreed, also I hate how everything the media writes about us has to mention the Cubs too. Can we ever just be our own entity for once? Maybe someday...

Man if Quintana can get his s*** together and the top 5 guys in the lineup just hit what they did last year we'd have a pretty good team. The bullpen has been awesome so far.

I would take our last decade too, it wasn't really a good example because we haven't been completely dreadful the last 9 seasons. What about 1 title and then a run of 15 years of not even sniffing contention, or 15 years of an Atlanta Braves-type run? I'm kind of leaning towards the latter in this scenario.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) I remember hearing on a sports radio show. Would you rather see your team win a championship then suck for 15 years, or be good for 15 years and never win a championship? That's kind of been us lol. Won it all in '05 and had some good playoff teams but lately it's been full out suck. It's a good question, would you take our last decade including '05 or the Tigers' last decade?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 09:15 PM) Sad part is the cubs are all they are to be and are playing well. The sox will have zero coverage and interest in about a week. It's not like we got a lot of coverage even when the Cubs were losing 95 games every year the last five seasons. Barring a dynasty-type run by the Sox, this is not going to change.

From 1997-2008 we had a winning record against the AL Central every season. From 2009-2014 the only season we had a winning record against our division was 2012. I'm getting really sick of being unable to beat our division foes. This sucks.

If Ventura goes who replaces him?

Isn't Bauer always wild?

I couldn't possibly care any less about what Beckham said, and I'm completely baffled why it's causing a stir among some posters here.
