caulfield12 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 09:11 PM) I think you missed the point. The sub. usually meant no "real" work. No, it's hard to miss it as a teacher. Yes, there are some players (especially veterans like Alexei, Cabrera or Samardzija) who are ready to let the string play out or perhaps hoping for a trade, but I can't imagine the likes of Chris Sale, LaRoche or Robertson like losing one bit.

Probably not since Danny Wright have I wanted a White Sox pitcher to be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 At least Hawk had his fleeting moment of excitement with Gordon's walk-off homer before we dove back into AL Central play again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Folks, we have officially reached the "they're so bad it's good" phase of the season. With the exception of Abreu, Sale and Avi, I really don't care for any of these players so whatever happens happens. I don't hate the others but let's just say if I were 10 years old and opened a pack of Topps I'd toss their card aside. As it is now, I chuckle when Flowers whiffs or let's a ball get by his fat ass. I still like Danks because he seems like a really good guy but a really bad pitcher. And I still don't think Robin Ventura is a bad coach. He might be good, he might be bad, but when you give him this s*** box and tell him to make it sing, what's he supposed to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, both had the talent/ability to be much frontline starters but injuries derailed their careers, especially Wright's. Once he lost his stuff, he couldn't adjust. Danks is more reminiscent of Jim Parque against Mike Cameron than 2008 Blackout Game Danks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) Who didn't love to see the substitute teacher come into the classroom? This is exactly how I feel about Ventura. Great White sox player - monumentally misplaced as a major league manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not since Danny Wright have I wanted a White Sox pitcher to be gone. Ahhh he was so bad. I remember Hawk defending him all the time too. I coach 9 and 10 year old girls softball and I enjoy telling the same few girls every game where left and right field is more than I enjoy watching this garbage tonight. So stupid. So uninspired. So unnecessary. The Sox love giving runs to the Twins while taking away runs for themselves. Edited June 23, 2015 by WilliamTell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be good, he might be bad, but when you give him this s*** box and tell him to make it sing, what's he supposed to do? Quintana has pitched in so much bad luck/defensive breakdowns/lack of run support for SO long, he's forgotten how to be elite like he when he first came up in 2012 and for much of 2013 and 2014. And, whether we like it or not, we're kind of stuck with Eaton out there as well... Finally, Robertson, when his cutter's on like the first 6-7 weeks of the season, he's a lot of fun to watch as well. I'm hoping this recent slide is more of an indication of overuse than a Jonathan Papelbon-esque decline into Albatross Contract status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 When nearly every players I underperforming in multiple facets of the game... you have to look at the coaching. I feel like there is some serious head in the sand business going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm g!ad tonight's game is finished. Hopefully Samardzija pitches well again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss Paciorek saying Tom Kelly's "working himself up into a lather." Or Hawk going on and on about Brad Radke, Johan Santana, Corey Koskie, Christian Guzman, Doug Mientkiewicz, Luis Rivas and how good they were defensively....and all those outfielders and random players like Lew Ford or Denny Hocking or Matt Lecroy or Albert Blanco who would constantly burn us. If it wasn't that, it was Hunter robbing homers in CF or running over Jamie Burke. Oh, and Carlos Gomez, haha.

On an unrelated note, do you think there's anyone anywhere who has John Danks on their fantasy baseball team?
