Who the hell thought this would be a serious forum topic this year. Shields has actually reinvented himself and his a serviceable pitcher

Was at the game tonight. I am now 2-0 on the year haha. Maybe I should buy a lotto ticket... Nice crowd tonight. Lots of drunks. We we're all yelling "juuuuice" when Braun stepped up. Then a little 3 year old started yelling it. Everyone was into it. Food was great. Fireworks we're great. Sox win was great. Doesn't get much better for a Friday night.

Maybe I am wrong, but maybe the reason he is being constantly released by clubs is because they find something out about him shortly after he is acquired? Or is there some kind of financial obligation or roster fill requirement that teams need to satisfy for a short period of time, or something like that?

I have tickets to Sunday's game, which would be Rodon's turn in the rotation as it would be 5 days since he last pitched in Charlotte. Covey is scheduled to pitch and no news has been announced about Rodon being called up, but man am I hoping. I would love to see his debut. If I were betting though, I bet they have him pitch in the next series. Him debuting at home though might draw some extra fannies to the park.

Just keep following those minor league box scores. The give you hope lol

Awesome, thanks for that info. Yeah we have really good seats for Sunday, like behind homeplate essentially, but I wanted to check out the cave when the gates open. Sounds like it will be worth it. Will probably stay there for an hour or so and then find our seats before the game starts

No problem, I'll take what I can get. Thank you!

Mods feel free to move this thread if it belongs in another spot. I plan on going to the park on Sunday and visiting the Craft Kave for the first time. Just wondering about any opinions on this. How is the beer/food selections? Does it open before the game starts? If so how long before first pitch does it open? How much does it cost to get a spot outside on the patio area? Anything else I should know about it? Is there any other bar/restaurant area I should try at the park first before I go for this one? I appreciate any info/insight/advice!

Anyone that is depressed with this team, go ahead and look at the minor league game thread. At least there is hope for the future of this club, even though it feels like there is none sometimes.

Just sitting here waiting for Rodon to get called back up to the Sox. What are the chances he pitches for them Sunday?? I don't think he needs another start at Charlotte or any more rest.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?cid=&lid=&org=145&sc=&sid=milb&t=affiliate&ymd=20180529 Rodon back on the bump after getting hit with a liner in the head a few days ago. If all goes well, maybe we see him in Chicago on Sunday? Cease also pitching today.

Step 1: go to White Sox.com Step 2: click on "view active roster" Step 3: Realize this is currently a minor league team plus Jose Abreu Step 4: Delete this thread Step 5: crack open a cold one and suck it up buttercup cuz Ricky is going nowhere fast.

It's insane. I forget where I heard it, but I guess the Brewers said he should go back to the leg kick swing. He said he was actually more comfortable hitting like that, except the Sox coaching staff didn't want him to do it, and now look at him. I really hope we get a different offensive coaching staff when we are trying to compete.

SO many injuries. I think the only position players to not lose any playing time this year are Yolmer, Anderson and Engel. Not to mention all of the minor league injuries. Make it stop!!!

There's the difference between AAA hitters and mlb hitters...you can't get away with those walks in the mlb. He needs to figure out his control. That is his main issue.

3 runs literally given away to Baltimore through walks.

The only starting players on this team to not have missed any playing time is Yolmer, Anderson and Engel. Everyone else has missed game action in some respect whether it be due to illness, injury, or suspension. That is literally 2/3 of the opening day starting lineup, also Leury. Not to mention all of the injury setbacks in the minors.

Take him out

Uh, if he pitches like this in his next start, he's probably being sent down. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought up Kopech if he has a real good start his next time out.

Tilson also was just called up...I wonder if that means Eloy will be going? Or maybe they are just waiting for Robert to push someone from WS to BIR

My sentiments exactly

This team would rival the Knights. I thought they said Gio was starting to get the feel for it? Also, does this mean Gio gets the hook to AAA? This has Carson Fulmer remnants all over it. All it needs is a nice grand slam here

Still has not been officially announced. I guess it's a non-ped related issue (like Cano?) Maybe he will appeal. No details as of yet though.

This injury facade is just getting stupid

Literally the best screw-up of Garfein's career
