    It's really not fair to Dezenzo or Whitcomb to expect them to be good right away. Most hitters have an adjustment period, if they put it together at all. It's a stupidly hard sport

    Now they aren't just in the lineup, but hitting 5th and 6th today.

    Well, I guess we’re seeing how the best AAA team would compete against the worst MLB team.

    Alright Framber, that's all you get. Enjoy your lone run. Make it count.

    Cabbage K’s way too much, but he’s a little better than those 3.

    So in your opinion, this is nothing more than a prolonged slump?

    Choosing Diaz over Lee was the right choice.

    Maldy would have had the White Sox to 35 wins by now.

    He’s had plus moments wherever they’ve put him out there.

    Really really (really) hope either Tucker comes back, or Chas gets going, and then you get to use him for what he’s best at…. Spot-starts so others can DH and defensive replacements.

    If last year, you showed me todays lineup and told me it was a real game next year, I would have thought the Astros must have gone into tank mode.

    But because its the W-Sox, we may win anyway.
