Soxfest Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Only 18,000+? That's not a good crowd for June, even for a Tuesday night. Guess there aren't many closet Astros/Correa and/or top prospect followers in Chicagoland. Sorry can't be last in every offensive category and expect people to pay to see it going into June. Fans can only show Sox brass frustration one way and that is with the pocket book. Edited June 10, 2015 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, in all fairness, the Twins and Astros aren't drawing that well and they're both in first place. I am hoping there are plenty of open seats down in the 100 section next Thursday against the Pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Twins and Royals engaged in some old school pitcher's/defense battles this week. Fast games. Whoever wins tonight has sole possession of first again at 10 games over .500 (and that would be the best record in the AL, amazingly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can't complain about them winning 2-0, so mention the attendance. Again. Edited June 10, 2015 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how many games have you been to this season? ZERO. Hard to attend from China. When I'm back in the Quad Cities for two weeks in July, I'll see if there's a game I can make it to. When you have a thee month old, it's more of a priority to get back and spend time with your child during summer vacation (for a teacher). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can't complain about them winning 2-0, so mention the attendance. Again. It's not a phenomenon of the White Sox. It's a condition for all rebuilding teams. The Astros and Twins aren't drawing much better, and those teams are both in first place in mid-June. There aren't many fanbases with seven years and counting of non-playoff appearances who are supporting their teams, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he blows equally. He isn't a "favorite." We simply hate Flowers and think Soto can provide better offense given more chances. He isn't the solution to the catching position but he is the best we got on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, his career splits are still about what you'd expect (full point xFIP and FIP improvement vs lefties, .15 WHIP improvement vs lefties) in terms of R/L splits, and it was more of a reaction to his inability to pitch in extended relief (in many cases, even an inning).
