Talk about "boning up on knowledge", that's not even what slander is.

Nope. You need to hit 172 service days for a full year of service. They can bring him up for 10 games, then keep him down 10 games longer than they would have next year. You should bone up on your free agency knowledge before you slander my idea.

I don't care what you do. I just though on his Appreciation Day it would be a kinder gentler thing to do by not ripping him to shreds. We've on;y had about 100 threads already for that very thing.

Geez some of you guys would rather talk about your dislike for Hawk on Hawk appreciation Day . Don't any of you have a mute button for yourselves. I'm great with criticism of Hawk any other time . A little silence on the subject wont kill you for a few hours. Maybe the actual good game the Sox are playing might interest you.

You guys are really being unfair here to HoT FiRe. His idea isn't so bad, and I think it might be a good one. Although, I would make one change to it, because there is a lot of risk in it, too. I'd bring him up in this scenario and have two possible outcomes: 1) Either Eloy does poorly, proving the White Sox org. correct in holding him down, and then you just keep him down for the extended absence to start the year off next year. 2) Or he does well, and then you are forced to keep him up and lose the extra year of service. I think there's a decent shot here that Eloy gets called up tomorrow anyway. It's just the right thing to do.

Should be banned for posting shit like this. Go away

He could have not said anything about the Cubs.

Shields threw 6 scoreless. Frare's debut went flawlessly with 2 K's. Minaya and Santiago finish off the shut out ! Timmy 3 hits and a HR . Palka HR. Moncada 2 hits. Everyone who started got at least one hit . 15 in total. Chicago Strong ! 8-0 white Sox win, Boo yaa !

I'm under the impression that once you bring him up there's no turning back . You cannot reset the clock. And even if what you say is true. It's still a bad bad bad idea If I am wrong then when bring him back up after the super 2 deadline ? If i didn't get it that's on you for posting drunk. You said stash them for however many games. How am I supposed to get what that means ? You just had to start a new thread for this bs when there's already 2 threads on Eloy you could've posted it. You just didn't want to be ignored. I still don' think you can reset the clock but we'll find out when someone else who knows more than I do about it comments. If you find one person who agrees with this idea I'll be shocked.

My scouting report on him was spot on.

Dbacks and Dodgers in the 9th inning, but there is currently a 3-way tie in the NL West with 26 games left. Once in a while there’s a decent division race. This could be a good one. (Dodgers win, and they the easiest remaining schedule. Dbacks have the toughest.)

I gotta say it was a good day! Fun game to watch and I enjoyed listening to Hawk and AJ.

More rain Wednesday for Kopech? Could happen, unfortunately. And Friday might have tropical storm remnants over Chicago. Blech.

I wanted to give u the haha award but I think you are serious so I'd rather not laugh at you.

If Shields keeps on pitching like this, then I say bring him back next year.

Sorry brother thats all I got.

I just logged on, as I am enjoying the broadcast today, too much to chance missing something. I hope you are all enjoying it, as well. I've been watching Sox baseball for over 65 years and can't remember ever seeing a guy hit "two" homers, in the same at bat, like Palka did.

and he did

You'll have to do it again Dan .

Never heard of Paulie but AJ works behind the bar in the Royal Oak .

You should know Bazox is British and lives in England , His knowledge of the game is still fairly rudimentary and maybe no knowledge of who Paulie and AJ

You b****ing about b****ing falls in the same category. So save it.

Which is ironic when the game thread is the same people b****ing about the same things every single day.

Hawk is just an old man. Go away.

I'm so fucking ready for Hawk to be gone. And this is from a 35 year old guy who loved him for over 20 years. The world has passed Hawk by and he is a shell of himself as a broadcaster.

LMAO. I can see this thread is a waste of time. I'll show myself the door. Enjoy!

So, if Eloy prevails in his grievance, he becomes a free agent, correct? Or possibly?? Why take a chance? Bring him up, Hahn. This is a no brainer, If Sox loses, and Eloy is FA, then does Hahn get fired?

18 Ks. That is bad, very bad. This offense has issues.

Hamilton looked good last night. His fastball is straight but he locates it well. Let's just give him time to acclimate and not jump off the ledge the first time he has a rough outing.

What move? Mack wasn't going to be available in 2019. There's a good chance that a guy like this isn't traded again for another decade.

Totally different situation with Frank. Different rules, and the team was trying to make the playoffs in 1990. Kris Bryant must really be pissed at the Cubs. Not only did he have over 500 AB in AAA when they didn’t call him up, he lead the spring training world in HR when they sent him back down in 2015, a year they made the playoffs. It’s just talk. Eloy and his reps know the Sox are doing exactly what they would do in their situation, but putting some pressure on them won’t hurt them. There won’t be much to gain other than Eloy gaining service time with a call up now. Most of the balance of the schedule will be AAA/spring training quality anyway. It will cost him about $90k now, but if he turned down a contract, $90k shouldn’t bother him at all. Everyone knows what is going on. I would think most would be on board that we have crossed the line where it would make any sense to give up the control to show off a new toy a while ago. Also, what if he pulls a hammy or twists an ankle his first couple of games? Giving up a year for 30 games is silly, it would even be sillier if it was for fewer.
