Dunt Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) The Rays offense is only slightly better than the Twins right now. I'm expecting Sale to DOMINATE tomorrow. I know this is going to sound stupid, but I think Sale knows he hasn't been his best so far and gets real nasty tomorrow. It's motivation for him to see guys like Latos dominate and realize he needs to pick up the slack a little. This team is very fun right now, hope it never ends.

OmarComing25 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) Good ol smoke and mirrors show so far. He did get the fastball up to around 92 today, so that's really encouraging. He's obviously not going to keep his ERA under 1, but I don't think he's a ticking time bomb either. His offspeed stuff has been working great, and his control has been pretty solid. If he pitches the way he has the first two starts, he should be fine as a 4th starter.

southsider2k5 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Christopher Kamka @ckamka 45m45 minutes ago Mat Latos: first pitcher with 6+ IP & 3 or fewer hits allowed in each of first 2 games in a #WhiteSox uniform since Esteban Loaiza 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 So its: Sale v. Odorizzi? Danks v. Ramirez Q v. Moore I don't know. Maybe it's all those bad years in my brain still. Cause I analyzed Hughes and Santana going into this series the same way and was scared to walk away with 2 wins. No Archer, but still tough matchups. I'd hope for Sale or Q win and then one game where it's tied going into the 7th where we win it. I'll say 2 of 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) Yea he actually had good stuff today. If he can keep this velocity it's not fools gold IMO. Agreed, nothing I would love more than Latos pitches amazingly this year and the sox lock him up to a deal similar to Kazmirs with oakland or we collect a pick in '17's draft. Sale Latos Q Fulmer Rodon yeah seems good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The great thing is 1 out of 3 in TB and they still come home 8-4. Sweeps and winning streaks get you in the postseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Just caught the post game show and watched the highlights from today. Have to say it's pretty hard to find fault with the way things have started. Hitting is still iffy but I think that's still because the weather hasn't been great temperature wise. Pitching has been superb but to me the biggest improvement has been defensively. They just haven't been making stupid plays on batted balls, they are catching what they can and not making a lot of mistakes. If you can pitch the ball and catch the ball you'll win a lot of games. I may have to figure out a way to get home this summer if this keeps up! Congrats to everyone on the start...keep it going! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) I know this is going to sound stupid, but I think Sale knows he hasn't been his best so far and gets real nasty tomorrow. It's motivation for him to see guys like Latos dominate and realize he needs to pick up the slack a little. This team is very fun right now, hope it never ends. I 100% agree. To be honest, he's been the worst starter this year other than Danks and yet he hasn't been too bad himself. But that'll change tomorrow. When he has something meaningful to pitch for, Sale is incredible. Tomorrow is especially important since Danks is pitching the day after. I'm guessing he'll throw 7 or 8 scoreless innings with 12 K's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) There just isn't enough data to go on yet without playing more than 10 games this year, so they have to beat the teams that are on the schedule. They've done just that, you can't ask for much more. It's a great foundation to build on, and we all talked about it in the off-season. With the new characters in the clubhouse, getting off to a hot start and hopefully having it snowball was vital. Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see a lot more offense soon, lots of guys still getting on track. Confident it'll happen... Soon. 3 runs off 9 hits today, Frazier had a hit and an RBI taken away by Escobar, Kepler stole an XBH from Navarro, Frazier had a bloop taken away. Twins saved about 3 runs today and took away multiple hits. The bats are coming. Maybe in a dome against TB they'll bust out. They're gona put up a double digit outing really soon. Eaton is on fire, Abreu is doing fine and his power is coming soon as he'll go on a tear, Melky is heating up quickly as is Lawrie. Avi is even swinging it better and for power. The others aren't far behind. AJax is off to a decent start with the bat. Navarro is fine and will get hot. Rollins has been ok. It's coming...get ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
