Princess Dye Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 09:12 AM) Has Sands played yet? His is still the roll I just don't get where it will work. I'd rather have a long man for when Danks has his "nothing" starts. I think Sands is here just to be a guy that still has some ceiling left. If he gets his chance he may finally deliver on the promise of his MiLB numbers. Also, he kills lefties and that'll serve a PH need down the road. He has shown he can grab a bat cold in small sample size (1.032 career ops as PH) Edited April 8, 2016 by Jose Paniagua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Yeah, I just don't see us of having a shortage of players who hit lefties well. I feel like he'll get bonifacio playing time, not sure we need that. Honestly would probably rather have Leury just to have someone with 80 speed than him now that I realize how hard it will be for him to find time.

southsider2k5 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Phil Rogers @philgrogers 2h2 hours ago Mat Latos was impressive in his @whitesox debut. Won w/o velocity he used to build 3.27 ERA 2010-14. His FB averaged 89.9; was 92.5 in '15. Oakland broadcasters made a point about how Latos was "pitching backwards,'' w/soft stuff in FB counts. Maybe, but he threw 61% fastballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) Leury? Especially since his ability to come in as a reliever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I guess I disagree. I don't see Leury as a real prospect and don't think playing him every day will put him in conversatoin for a starting gig even if he hits .300 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kageman129 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) They were saying last time sox started off 3-1 was 2005 Whoever they is would be wrong... 2012 they were 3-1 also. But man, it is weird to have fun watching the Sox this year... Last year was such a lazy team, good to see life in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked it up, 2005 was the last time they went 3-1. Most seasons started 1-3 or 2-2 Edited April 8, 2016 by WhiteSoxLifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I think this being the first time in 61 years both the Sox and Cubs started out 2-0 is incredible. Even if you have a horrid team you could start out 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you have a horrid team you could start out 2-0. It is pretty crazy honestly. Even if you assign a 50/50 chance of winning and losing to each game, the random chances of it happening are 1 in 16 for each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
