I would not mind Hawk doing one game a week. I get tired of the same old routine.

The time has come for Rick and Tony to have a serious talk with Eloy. Rick Hahn We have a question. Do you want to be an outfielder, or do you want to appear to be an outfielder? It's an honest question. Lot of guys want to appear to be outfielders. Glove, sunglasses, pretend they can play the position. Tony La Russa A lot of them want to lay in a net and fall asleep at the wheel. Eloy Jimenez I'm all set without your own personal job application, Skipper. With all due respect Sir, what do you want from me? Tony: Hey asshole, he can't help you. I know what you are, OK. I know what you are, and I know what you're not. I'm the best friend you have on the face of this Earth, and I'm going to help you understand something, you punk. You're no fucking outfielder. Rick: He's right. We deal in deception here. What we do not deal with is self-deception. Five years from now, you can be anything else in the world. But you will not be a major league outfielder. Eloy: Are you sure of that? Rick: I'm sure of that. Tony: Guaran-fucking-teed.

What do I care about Ruiz, Burr, and frankly, Heuer, based on their performance right now? All 3 can be sent down right? Lopez can’t be worse than them, because the worst he could be is awful and the way already have that. Send one of those 3 down when a trade is made and see if maybe, just maybe, Lopez out of the bullpen is something and we steal an extra decent reliever for the last 2 months?

Eloy, Robert, Grandal, new 2nd baseman, two relievers. You're looking at 1/4 of the roster being upgraded in the next few weeks.

Hawk calling one home game a week would be even more must watch tv than the Sox already are.

This one was hilarious.

Next up Tray debates Tray.

Congratulations to Hawk Harrelson, who will be inducted along with other broadcasters and writers today into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was elected last year, with the ceremony postponed until today due to the pandemic. The ceremony will be televised tomorrow (see link below for details). https://baseballhall.org/news/2021-awards-presentation-broadcast-july-25 Regardless of your opinion of Hawk as announcer or general manager, nobody could question his love for and allegiance to the Chicago White Sox over the decades, and his love of the game. Hope he and his family and friends have a great day celebrating Hawk Harrelson's career!

Yoan is not stupid. He thought he hit the plate or possibly he knew he missed it. If it was the latter, perhaps he thought he might get tagged out when he went back to tag it. Then seeing the ump call you safe, why try to go back and risk getting tagged out ? I'm getting tired of fans calling Yoan lazy and stupid and Eloy stupid and crazy. They are just young men playing baseball. Cut it the fvk out with calling them stupid.

This is all on Yoan...just step on the plate next time. Maybe slide so this doesn't happen again.

There probably isn't a catcher in baseball everyone here would be satisfied with, honestly.

what a clown show, this is a playoff team? 1 run in 13 innings, boneheaded plays, we are lucky the indians are losing again

If you’re at the tailgate. Come say Hi, I’m in a gray Anderson jersey and in ray bans. Black dude. can’t miss me.

We suck

Sox will be lucky to win 1 playoff series come October

Chicago white sox Nashville Chicken man said we'd get the calls today because of the TLR meltdown last night, in fact, guaranteed it as Baseball 101

Facts. This is why they need to STHU about being 9 games up and win games for HFA.

Tigers losing

That was BenO's point. Why risk trying to go back and touch the plate even if you thought you missed it after you have been called safe? The ump's call has finality when he signifies a run has been scored, unlike a call at one of the other bases. A safe call at home, the runner heads into the dugout.

Please remember to touch home plate next time. Thank You!

Sheets is hitting the ball pretty hard.

Called him safe twice. Once on the initial play, then again on the appeal when they gave the catcher the ball and he stepped on the plate. Of course Yoan could've just slid across the plate and all this doesn't happen.

better yet let's count the number of times you mention the Tigers

I just hate dumb baseball by our guys.

Moncada is laughably dumb lol, like dude is not very bright and that's being kind

Or to the Pirates for Adam Frazier. This guy isn't going to start with the Sox ever.

Another bone head running play by Yoan. Should have gone back and stepped on the plate. This umpire crew sucks complicating this play.

Can James Fegan run down and explain the rules to these chumps?

He called him safe, what is he supposed to do? If he doesn't call anything then he has to go back

He's not going to. Look at the catching difference.

Perhaps the dominance of our starters does not carry over to the best opponents.

I'm starting to believe the we can't beat good teams thing. Especially on the road

Reported

Completely undeserving, loud mouthed whiner who apparently catch phrased his ass into the HOF

Remember when Ozzie and Ozney got so offended that Ozney was drafted in the 22nd round that Ozney didn't sign and he was never drafted again? And how Oney Guillen ragged on Jenks, who famously battled depression and addiction, for crying in the clubhouse, leading to his resignation as a scout? Apples don't fall far from the tree.

yeah it seems that way, James laid it out nicely here.

Who cares

This may shock everyone, but most teams have a problem beating good teams with good pitching. 9 game lead missing 4 regular players. What you are asking for is the impossible.

Would have loved to hear hawk call gavin sheets walk off the other day

I'd honestly be so down for something like this. Once a month? Hawk was a lot more fun when he was calling for a good team and you know hed be having a blast calling for this one.

congratulations, for all of his faults, I doubt I would be as die hard of a fan of it weren't for Hawk

Stone is to Vaughn like some posters have become and I suspect he might be part of the reason. I prefer to evaluate players based on what I see, not what others, including Stone, tell me what to see. IMO, the promotion of Vaughn as being even adequate in the OF is a stretch. Every catch he makes of a pop up is not a great play. He is probably the slowest player on the team and cannot get to balls that most other ML OFers do. After Eloy injured himself reaching over the wall for a home run, Vaughn is a perceived as an exceptional outfielder because he doesn't even try to make those plays. In the process, he avoids errors and injury. Playing it safe is fine, except when a play has to be made...like the ball Vaughn couldn't get to that probably cost Rodon a no-hitter or the umpteen short fly balls that drop in front of Vaughn for base hits. He lacks range in the OF and, like Eloy and Sheets, should never be out there in an important game situation where defense is critical. If Vaughn, Abreu, Sheets,and Eloy are destined for DH/1B, some decisions will need to be made as Cespedes,Colas, and other outfielders are added.

even if you hate him you have to say hes a HOF, a well known HR call, lots of catch phrases, everyone knew of him and had an opinion for decades. Thats HOF worthy in and of itself.

?

Yep. That is it right there. I remember several discussions about it. It was way too obvious with the posting style and linking all the tweets.

Yeah, Renteria led the league in getting tossed. Can't wait for his enshrinement to Cooperstown.

Would not have been out of reach if we would have brought in Kopech instead of Bummer and particularly Burr.

In other news ronn would trade Abreu for Carson Fulmer and Fulmers unconditional release 10 minutes later.
