Ducksnort Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I think the toughest thing for me will be the amount of time the Sox get runners in scoring position but dont get them in. Currently, the Sox have more hits in the game than the tigers do, yet the tigers are leading by 4 runs. Situations like that happened oh too often last year, and the year before.

Polar Bear Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thought that Frazier shot had a chance to leave the park, it just didn't have enough air under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back end of the lineup is just horrible, but that's mostly by design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rooting for these guys to be good enough to keep playing. Nobody wants to see May hitting .134 a month from now. But .234? Sure.

BigHurt3515 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 02:59 PM) Benetti called that first pitch curveball nasty...it was literally a hanger and should have been hit 400 feet. Anderson just watched 2 strikes and swung at a ball...hes gotta get disciplined, especially as a number 2 hitter. Only first game though. No, he looked at a first pitch curve that most wouldn't swing at first pitch then looked at a ball that was called a strike and swung at a ball on an 0-2 count. Big difference between 1-1 and 0-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 02:56 PM) Let say this ovvereaction comes true and Q has a down season compared to his usual numbers, the Sox still traded Sale and Eaton and got a lot back for both. How many rebuilding teams, especially as of late, kicked off their rebuilds with moves like that. So Q having a down year wouldn't be the end of the world. Another year of Q means one less year on his contract, one more question mark (if he did have a down year), and honestly, it sets backs our rebuilding effort. No, it's not the end of the world (that comes under a nightmare scenario of all of our prospects busting), but I don't know how anyone couldn't be disappointed. Hahn sure as hell wouldn't be happy. The ultimate goal here is to trade everyone with high value, to maximize return, and speed up those inevitable down years of a rebuild. On the brightside, we're losing!

Speaking of things that got old fast: Watching Adam Dunn, Adam LaRoche, Avisail Garcia, Alexei Ramirez, Gordon Beckham, Nick Swisher, Jeff Samardjia, Jake Peavy, and countless other people I can hardly remember anymore grossly underperform for a decade. This is the right thing. It sucks, but it's the right thing. Edited April 4, 2017 by Sox-35th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like no one from the Tigers or White Sox wants to be in the field today. It was obvious last year he should have been made full time DH. His defense cost the Sox a few games last year. The Sox are solid defensively up the middle but absolutely terrible everywhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
