White Sox Os
Rodon vs Wright
Rodon pls don't Rodanks
Come on Rodan save us
>they are people on this very board who defend danks
Disgusting
danks did nothing wrong
As good as the O's have been lately, how come hardly anyone is at these games?
>>67203479
He'll probably give up walks, but not a grand slam or anything.
Also to those that got the MLB Premium for free, if you use Chrome and use the Ultrasurf extension, you can bypass the blackout restrictions. I was fucking around with it and it works for me.
The only reason people still defend Danks is nostalgia.
>>67203628
I defend him because he did nothing wrong
>Gary and Jim talking about Wright's amazing first two starts
Why must you remind us?
>>67203573
Social/civic unrest? Especially given how much of a "white" sport Baseball seems to sjws
>>67203639
He never did anything criminal, but he's an awful pitcher.
>>67203573
Shit weather and disappointing season last year.
>>67203659
he was a very good pitcher
Joey drew a walk last night.
Let's hope that trend continues.
Also this strike zone is shit.
Question for Sox fans. Do you guys actually like Hawk Harrelson or do you merely put up with him because the White Sox won't hire anyone else?
Rodon pls not many walks
>>67203659
>he never did anything criminal
>He doesn't know
>>67203786
No one likes Hawk Harrelson. He's a fucking cancer.
>>67203823
I like hawk harrelson
>>67203786
I like him for the exciting play calls
The dumb stories, the lack of chemistry between him and stone, the somber silence when we suck, the general lack of baseball knowlegde and ump blowups, not so much.
>>67203786
They did hire someone else. Benetti is pretty good, or at least someone that isn't hawk. Now they wait for hawk to retire
>>67203694
>WAS
So why should he still be pitching?
>>67203859
because he has been a fine fifth starter
not this season, yet at least. he's still the best option though
>>67203786
I like him, he's like watching the game with an old grandpa who's super emotionally invested in the team. The things he says may be stubborn and sometimes goofy, but he's endearing.
That's my point of view.
>>67203786
He used to be good, but has recently become lazy and grumpy. They actually did hire someone this year for home games only while Hawk only goes on the road.
1-2-3 but quick gameday analysis shows he's missing a lot of fbs
>>67203786
I feel like I'm in the minority but I like him. His hawkisms and lack of knowledge of sabermetrics make for good commentary. Even in his old age he's still pretty entertaining.
Is it me or is Todd first pitch swinging more with bad results?
Melk!
>>67203786
After listening to Jason for a bit, I'm slowly preferring him. While Hawk can be great to listen to when games are close, but when they are losing hard like last night, the dead silence makes things even more depressing than things are.
>>67203880
>fine fifth starter
He hasn't been an average level pitcher in 6 years
>>67204049
he's been a fifth starter level pitcher
Brett Lawrie is such a shithead. He's like the baseball player embodiment of Toronto sports fans.
Hawk not getting food is a tragedy.
>>67204080
Carlos Sanchez when?
>avi with a triple
woah
fuck, is avi actually starting to hit well
>yfw avi doesn't completely suck
>avishit
Wut
>>67204080
I agree as a Sox fan, but he plays well so I'll keep my mouth shut until it causes problems.
>>67204194
>yfw avi is better than abreu
Alright Rodon, there's 1 for you
>>67204064
>getting paid ace level starter money while being a sub 5th starter pitcher
God danks is awful
Looks like someone's been threatened with being sent down.
Nice shit Avi.
>Wrong
>>67204244
it was a good contract at the time
>>67204237
>they will never both hit well at the same time like they did for two short weeks in 2014
>>67204080
What's wrong with Lawrie?
>>67204271
I agree, it was simply an unfortunate series of events. He used to be very good; he pitched a shutout in the tiebreaker game. That should mean nothing if we're talking about 2016 John Danks pitching on the 2015 White Sox making $12M this year. I even disagree that he's a serviceable 5th starter. Yesterday he was leaving cookies up there and they all saw it coming.
>>67204080
I like him.
>>67204306

>>67204403
>2015 White Sox
2016, my bad. IT'S 2016!!!
>>67204411
damn that pitch was a fucking mile outside
>>67204403
obviously not this year
but it's also been just 4 starts, but his velocity is also down even more so he's probably done
but there's also no other decent options
>>67204411
That's supposed to be a major league ump. I'd be pretty upset too desu.
>>67204411
that first call was fucking awful
second one looked like a ball also
>>67204458
Yeah, it was, but that's no excuse to go full-on ape mode like Lawrie did.
>>67204411
Those were both shit calls, but if you treat the umps like that you shouldn't expect to get any calls.
>it's an Orioles scored all their runs in the first game series
>>67203577
Awesome advice, thanks Rbo
>>67204462
You don't think it would be worth it to try Erik Johnson or Carson Fulmer? Hell, Miguel Gonzalez wasn't as bad as Danks.
Why is Rollins even batting second?
>>67204591
Speed on the basepaths?
I'm sure Hawk loves it.
>>67204564
I've seen erik johnson plenty already, he's awful. fulmer is not ready
gonzalez was fucking terrible, what did you watch, he was lucky to strand like 10 baserunners
>>67204591
because ventura is retarded
also don't mess with a winning formula, I guess
>>67204612
>Future Hall of Famer
>>67204271
>let buehrle walk without trying to resign him or even talk to him
>resign the only left hander you have still have on the team to a fat contract
No it was dumb. Its only 5 years later everyone can see how much worse it got
>>67204591
I was wondering that too. I mean, he's not bad, but Lawrie and Cabrera can bat second and both are hitting very well.
>>67204644
danks was every bit as good as buerhle, if not better, for the previous few years before the contract. And of course he was much younger
It was a good contract
it's only 5 years later that everyone decided that the sox should have taken out their crystal ball and foreseen his injury and never given him the money
>>67204559
That's my favorite plot arc.
Especially when they lead the division by a thread.
O's bros, will Hardy hit a single home run that isn't a 300-foot cheapie around the Pesky pole this year?
>>67204559
Nah, you were just facing Danks
nice D by Frazier as usual.
>>67204706
Buehrle outperformed Danks in every year before Danks's surgery.
Jesus, if that were literally anyone other than Hardy it would have been a hit.
>>67204760
no he didn't
Rodon....
Cool, maybe we'll get no hit
Is Rodon gonna throw a perfect game?
>>67204728
Hahaha no
He gets less DINGERS each passing year
That pole itself if a good enough meme though. Boston's gnome got a salami of Bud Norris with it. I'm fine if Hardy pads his stats with it
>>67204815
>>67204841
>>67204853
>3 innings
calm down faggots
>>67204841
>Rodon
Nah, one of your guys will find an FB in the middle eventually most likely on a 3-1 or 3-2 count.
>>67204815
>>67204841
>>67204853
You guys are silly.
Hawk, I grew up to you, but please retire... What r u talking about???
One thing Jose needs to work on is adjusting to inside pitches. He hits it on the shaft far too often.
that was one ugly ass swing by frazier
Out
>swinging at that
>>67205002
prob
good call
Why did the review take THAT long?
>>67205126
game was going by too quickly
Lawrie's tattoos are so cringey
rodon has been fucking nasty. 4 strikeouts looking? and none were questionable strikes
Welp
Cancel postgame show
>that strikeout by Rodon
goddamn
Nodon
>breaking up the perfect game
Fuck you Davis
>>67205355
>4th inning
I bet you would have been pissed if he bunted too

I don't think skinny guys should have tatoos at all.
>>67205404
>bunting ever
>>67205508
Thanks for Jose's slam and having one of the funnier pitcher names lel
>>67205508
He never recovered after he flunked the O's physical.
>>67205508
Bye Cunt....
>>67205508
>abroo never hits a grand slam again
>>67205605
>he subscribes to sabremetrics
>>67205404
fuck the unwritten rules by the way
I hope a big pull power hitter is up in the 9th during a no hitter sometime and the defense uses the massive shift, and then I hope he bunts
>>67205508
baseball's best shitposter
>>67205623
>and having one of the funnier pitcher names lel
His entrance as well.
I'm not feeling good about this 1 run lead desu senpaitachi
>>67205714
Sales not pitching, it's only normal.
>Adam Jones leadoff walk
what the fuck
>leadoff walk
Rodon pls
>Lawrie
Wew
That was really sloppy.
how unfortunate
Oh shit...
Carlos-San should probably give Lawrie a couple days off. It's this shit again.
goddammit Lawrie
Lowrie you faggot
God dammit jones
This inning is silly
For fuck's sake what is this shit.
Reimold, save us.
I was surprised with his defense up to yesterday, I had been pretty adamant in the offseason that lawrie at second would be a disaster, looks like I might not be wrong after all
sanchez fucking now
I don't even care if Frazier slumps at the plate every once in a while. His defense alone is helping this team stay above .500.
Good but still in trouble
Come on Rodon...
Umpire pls
Holy fuck that 3-2 fb was middle middle
Fuck
>rags
...wait
>this spaghetti
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
What is this fucking inning
cmon u can do it sox
Goddamn it. Need a DP badly. Come on Rodon, come on defense.
fucking hell
gay
FUCK
SCHOOP BUSTED THE SLUMP
FUCK YEAH
whoooop
oh wow
an oriole birb is pretty cute desu
Fuck you Lawrie. Its over
RODON FUCKING PLS
>>67206095
Getting the two molasses runners in, at that
kill yourself lawrie
what the actual fuck
Hahaha what the fuck is actually going on?
wew lad
NOOOOOOOOO
FUCK
FUCK
DAMN IT FUCK
that's gg O's
FUCK
crash back to earth...
yesterday was the turning point lads
Time for the Sox to lose 6 in a row now I guess.
>read article about how great the defense has been two days ago
>today this happens
nice throw at least
strange ass inning. all errors and baserunning fuckups
Eaton's arm is good.
Fuck.
hah, remember when the defense was good
anyway, thanks eaton, at least he's legit good
>FUTURE HALL OF FAMER
>FUTURE HALL OF FAMER
>FUTURE HALL OF FAMER
>FUTURE HALL OF FAMER

>it only took one danks start to end the momentum
Every. Fucking. Time
I'm going to cry
Damn, that cannon
Got a little greedy. Might've squeezed some more offense from a Davis AB
But wew, what a circus in the infield
what the fuck, those weren't actually earned runs were they, rodon's on my fantasy team
This sucks.... Heh heh heh
>>67206328
fucking can't assume the double play bullshit
at the very least the last run should be unearned
Back to this shit zzzzzzz offense...
Someone pls get a homer
sigh...
damn I feel sorry for adam
Josavior please save us
is eaton the only good thing about this shit team (pitching not included)?
>>67206511
Avisail Garcia
at least a base hit pls
>>67206511
The Toddfather on the defensive side of the ball.
>yfw eaton is busted for PEDs
this team will be literal (literal) trash then
>Jose getting a hit
Yes thank you
JOSAVIOR
Fraz keep it going!
>Sixth Inning
DONT STOP NOW BOYS
Abreu with the shank RBI
>not throwing him a low breaking ball
literally why
I'll fucking take it all day though
>>67206594
Typical
GRAND SLAM WHEN?!
Bases loaded 1 out
Melk pls
>This wildly-fluctuating strike zone
For god's sake can we have robot umps yet?
Wright is fucking unraveled now
Get his ass out.
BASED JONESY
WOOOOOOOOW
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKK
ADAM
FUCKING
JONES!!!
what the fuck rollins, why is he so slow
FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK
THIS FUCKING OFFENSE GOD FUCK
Rodon pls no more runs
Fuck me.
>it's a sox choke against a good team and go back to being mediocre again episode
what the fuck did I miss after the Frazier walk?
>rollins can't throw or run now
The crash just keeps going
About to go to this tomorrow with my mom. Should be pretty fun
>>67206892
Melk lined it for an out, Rollins tried to score, out at home
sigh...
Sub Carlos Sanchez and Saladino in right now if we want to still have a chance to win this one
Tidesbro reporting in.
We're in Indianapolis tonight. Indians 1 Tides 0. Top 6.
Flaherty is 7-13 since being sent down.
Odrisamer Despaigne is making his 5th start tonight. 1 ER and 5 Ks but the Tides continue their streak of supporting him with a total of zero runs in every inning he has pitched this season.
Tides announcer is a big Henry Urrutia fan and has pointed it out every time the Indianapolis public address announcer has mispronouced his name before an AB.
>>67206892
Melky flew out and Eaton got caught at the plate on a great tag.
>>67207028
sub Carlos Sanchez and Saladino in for the rest of the season
>>67206963
me and ur mom are going to have a fun time tonight
>>67207057
Urrutia is never going to be a MLB player :(
Literally the only thing he can do is hit opposite-field singles.
>>67206785
Remember his last start?
> oh no send him back out he'll be fine
Lawrie you piece of shit better make up for those 3 runs
>>67207100
I'm sure she'd like that
Damn this dude is throwing heat
>>67206785
>>67207158
He didn't really pitch too badly in that inning. A couple soft liners, a walk on a very close pitch. The four-pitch walk was really the only problem.
>>67207136
Thr entire Tides roster is singles hitters. I think they lead the IL in singles. I know they lead in GIDP.
LAWRIE REDEEMS HIMSELF...kind of.
>>67207186
Thank you based lawrie
KEEP GOIN BOYS
LAWRIE
>>67207186
HOLY SHIT HE DID
2 more runs to go douchefuck
Lawrie you have almost redeemed yourself
7th inning offense
still kill yourself lawrie though desu
THE SEVENTH INNING SOX
>orilels
>high octane sexual violence
>>67207186
There's 1 of the 3
Still bring Carlos San in
Fucking Lawrie
I can't call Dioner "Navarr.075" anymore.
>Almanzar commits his 7th error of the year
Following the AAA team makes me appreciate the Orioles' lack of injuries so far.
>>67207057
>tfw work on main st in Norfolk
>tfw haven't been able to walk the 6 feet down the road to harbor park for a game yet this season
Serious question guys
Mlb tonight touched on this a bit with the orioles but let's see what you guys think.
Is there anyone on either of these two rosters that are not capable of a 20+ homerun season? Pitchers obviously the exception
Well, Brach was bound to give up a dinger eventually.
Rodon's at 82, does he come back out?
Other than the shit defense that inning, he hasn't been so bad.
>>67207390
Wieters and Hardy, given their age decline, are probably not capable of that at this point.
It'd be a stretch for Rickard.
>>67207435
Im not sure bout that, they've shown some flashes of power, despite the decline they still have the talent to do it I think
>>67207390
Rollins, Ajax, Eaton, Lawrie, Avi
>>67207390
Abreu
>>67207378
>6 feet
I wish the stadium was in portsmouth with a view of our skyline. Harbor Park must be the most difficult to access stadium I've ever seen. Like it's hiding under the 264 ramp.
Unless you were talking about walking to the Tide station. That has made the stadium very accessible.
>>67207469
Nah.
Wieters, in particular, is an offensive black hole at this point in his career. Utterly unproductive hitter - everything is a weak grounder or a pop fly. He might still have the strength to hit it out, but he doesn't make good enough contact to get anywhere near 20.
>>67207516
And lo, leadoff single
Oh fuck leadoff single
>>67207502
It's not a particularly safe walk, but isn't terribly far
>>67207472
>Eaton
Fuck off
>ajax
Ehhhhhh, hit or miss I guess
>Rollins
I think he will surprise alot of people. I wouldn't be too shocked to see .250/20/80 from him this season
>lawrie
Fuck off
>avi
I think he flirts with or hits 20 this season
He's capable of it
>>67207474
Just shut up
>>67207516
I think he will heat up mid to late season though
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT LAWRIE
>>67207545
...On a not-particularly-hard-hit grounder.
8/10 times, a ball hit like that is an out.
FUCK SAKE
triple play pls
MOLDY WANTS TO BE AN EVERYDAY STARTER
FUCK YEAH OPPO FIELD
BRAVO NOLAN
fuuck
>THIS FUCKING GAME
RIP
>Have your best bullpen pitcher rested and ready
>lol no I keep rodon out there
>homerun
I fucking despise ventura
I thought Danks pitched last night?
Welp
Kill me
GG O's
sigh...
gg Orioles we already know how this will end
ReiGold
More papa johns
Nolan should take Rickard's spot desu.
>>67207703
Nah, keep Rickard, hope that he learns how to get on base again. We don't want Trumbo in the field.
>>67207657
He was only at 90 but yeah, should have been clear he didn't have it anymore. Gameday shows nothing but FBs in the zone. His slider just disappeared...
Sigh...
>latos probably crashes tomorrow too
>our only hope is sale on sunday
Reality finally came crashing down. I'm glad it's now and not later so the pain isn't as bad
>6 runs
>still pitching in the bottom of the 7th
For what purpose?
>rodanks
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
We all knew this was coming and it still hurts.
I don't even know what Rodon has ever done to earn people's respect. Every Sox fan I know treats him like he's somehow proven himself.
>it's a ventura is an awful manager, knows it, but doesn't care because they'll just extend his contract anyway episode
Oh wait thats every episode
The long awaited collapse begins.
As a Cubs fan, this pleases me.
turn that frown upside down guys it's only April
>>67207474
Lol
