OK now they can turn 3.

Heblows

Can I propose a rule that we stop mentioning Madrigal as a part of a championship team until his OPS at A-Ball is no longer bouncing around .700?

Bump

This Alonso experiment needs to fucking end.

This is what a lot of games are going to be like in a year or two. Keep the faith.

Alright, let's bring in Fry now so we can have a comeback win in the 8th.

Charlie Tilson's WAR? 🤔

HOLY SHIT I CALLED THAT

Did we just turn a triple play?!?!

This too. I don't even get satisfaction when we get good Nova, I don't even care.

I could see Eaton being a biter to be honest.

Lol Eaton calling drake LaRoche the team leader was one of the most embarrassing things I've been in the professional baseball world. Good on Frazier for calling out his bullshit.

Good timing with me bumping this thread yesterday and Yoan's golden sombrero. The thing is, even with the 4ks he's still way above where I thought he would be at this point in this season Can't wait to see what he does as a 24 year old.

I think you guys are overreacting about a really small sample size. Everyone has a couple bad games and nobody was touching Verlander last night. He'll be fine.

If we're putting together the list, somewhere at the top of it needs to be Robin Ventura. This mess happened under his "watch". IMO he checked out starting in 2013 and the fact that all this is still going on is a testament to how much of a problem that became.

Yeah, we heard about this feud. I had no idea Jimmy Rollins got into it with Lawrie. Lawrie is one guy if I was looking for a fight, I would avoid. He seems like he could go way nuts.

I’ll take the one with an 840 OPS over the one with the 712 OPS. Walks are great, not if it’s sacrficing everything else.

Bye loser, off to Kannapolis

Can always count on finding Big O at the G-spot

Sets up another triple play opportunity at least

Save your BMs for working hours smh

Dammit. Went to take a shit and missed the Eloy bomb.

Just checked the box score and I see Tilson is having his typical all or nothing game...2 strikeouts and a home run 😎

Fixed

Yep. Let's hope Moncada becomes a perennial 30/30 guy.

PACO!

This is shaping up as a game the boys can be proud of. Hitting against a top pitcher and multiple homers including a grand slam...defense including double plays and triple play...pitching and holding down a good offensive club especially at their home where they seldom lose. ENTERTAINING!!!

HOF bound. Last night he was DFA bound. Fortunes change quick in this sport.

Most unexpected grand slam ever

You know you’re screwed as the opposing team when Alonso gets on base in 2 of his first 3 at bats in a game...

Two doubles now for Robert.

Abreu has been adding to his trade value as he continues hitting homers & rbi's. Interesting if offers tempt the FO. I'm actually on the fence on this. Good time for him to get hot... both for negotiating an extension with us or upping his value for trade.

I study at the Steve Stone School for Psychics

If the Sox get a DP every inning they have a chance.

Less than $65M a year could have gotten us Machado, Harper, and a late inning reliever. How close did we come to making that scenario happen?

At least Gio has turned it around in a big way. If we were getting more 2018 Lucas things would be very grim.

I'd go as far as saying there is zero chance he's on the roster August the First

How about a little common sense reasoning to this Rendon discussion? The Sox whiffed on Machado so they moved Moncada to 3B, likely with the thought in mind that they just drafted a 2B in the first round. They have cried poor countless times when it finally comes to sealing the deal and locking up a big time free agent. But next offseason, the Sox are going to pay big money for Rendon and move Moncada back to 2B or play Rendon at 2B? And they will just keep Madrigal in limbo? Deep down, you guys must realize this hypothetical Rendon signing isn’t happening, right? What recent events have occurred regarding the Sox in free agency that indicate that the Sox will spend big on a top free agent? Haven’t we already received the answer to this question ?

He said catchers

Buster Posey is the best leader I've ever had the privilege to be around in the baseball world... he is the exact opposite of edgy or tough/mean. He's a selfless teammate in a world filled with selfishness. Buster is a pretty good winner too I'd say.

I feel this is a common occurrence with Reinsdorf owned teams. You see ridiculous stuff like this all the time with the bulls. Paxson grabbing Del Negro by the tie, the players temporary mutiny against Boylen this year. There are plenty of other examples as well.

If you're going to compare Moncada to Baez, wait until Moncada is 27 too. Personally I think Moncada will be a better player, but we just don't know yet.

The growing pains of a rebuild. Soon (maybe two years) we will start looking like Houston.

Hey, I'm just happy someone else is just as miserable about the 2016 Sox as I am. The Shields trade that topped the whole thing off is the perfect epitaph to a not-good and not-enjoyable team.

They both are showing their was plenty of blame to go around there. Ozzie said last night everyone hated Eaton, but Frazier certainly isn't showing much with his behavior. Let it go, it was 3 years ago, and you don't have to deal with each other every day.

What I will never understand is why LaRoche was signed in the first place. This weird stuff with his son had to pre-date the White Sox. If I knew some idiot player wanted his son hanging around the clubhouse all the time, I wouldn't want that player near my team. Sounds like the Sox front office was asleep at the wheel again. Thinking about 2016 makes me cringe.

Nerd/obsessed fan moment: I was friends with Adam Eaton on facebook. I posted a picture of a fish that I caught. He literally commented on it and asked me how big it was. I will always admire him for taking the time to do that. Made my day lol. And this happened like 2 years ago.

So you're essentailly going to counter a 350 PA clip with a 14 day sample size? Come on, guy.

Yeah i've been watching and it is very impressive, I've even seen him do a true daily double and get it wrong then still come back to have enough money not to be caught in Final Jeopardy. He also picks from the bottom and is always trying to find the daily doubles. I do not think he's any smarter / quicker than others like Ken or Brad but man he just bets huge sums of money.
