QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2017 -> 08:59 PM) There are maybe 4 competent pitchers on this roster. Quite impressive Rodon, Gonzalez, Lopez, Minaya? Hopefully Giolito is the 5th.

Reds won, Phillies (!!!) are now up on the Giants (Ty Kelly literally just hit a grand slam). Padres are up.

Tarik Cohen is mighty impressive. Would love to see him and Howard become a Freeman-Coleman type duo in the near future.

QUOTE (daggins @ Aug 19, 2017 -> 04:57 PM) Rodon / Fulmer Monday, Giolito Tues. Seems to confirm he is sticking with the team. Dammit. Likely means I'm missing Giolito's start.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 19, 2017 -> 08:55 PM) Reds and Giants are cementing that 2nd pick too. Reds are up but Giants are down... Padres are up though.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20170819 Eloy 1-3 5 game hitting streak for Gonzalez. Nice night for Dedelow.

I just don't see Hahn bringing in a left handed hitter to platoon with another left handed hitter no matter how infatuated KW is with the hometown (and fathom's) boy.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 19, 2017 -> 04:40 PM) Moncada scratched with shin splints. Yikes. https://mobile.twitter.com/whitesox/status/...2645761/photo/1 Must of been bothering him for a bit. I know Tim Anderson posted a pic a couple days ago helping him out. https://mobile.twitter.com/TimAnderson7/sta...300969766850565

QUOTE (Quin @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 09:46 PM) 2) Abreu is a leader. No doubt he is the captain of that clubhouse.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 09:10 PM) Eloy's birmingham stats in free fall. He should've been 3-4. https://mobile.twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/...7374464/video/1 That's a hit in any other game. Credit Montgomery for playing him up the middle.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 09:43 PM) Real good stuff, ReyLo. ^^^^^^^^

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 12:21 AM) Fun to think how long that inning goes if it's not the 9th As soon as he brought him in, I turned to my buddy and said "Ricky is helping the tank with this move". Sure enough.. I'm still waiting on him to actually let his players with speed steal bases. Cody freaking Bellinger has more steals than Tim Anderson. (yes he gets on base more, but that's just sad)

Good ol' Petricka.

Collins. This is fun.

Luis Martinez continues to be an enigma for me. Kid is a serious sleeper as a prospect, by my god... so inconsistent.

I believe he faced one more batter after deflected line drive. I would think that's good news and they just took him out as precautionary.

QUOTE (Quin @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) It's a shame Ozzie burned bridges, because him having a future lineup with Anderson, Moncada, Eloy, Robert, Rutherford, etc. would be really fun. He'd actually have the guys who have speed steal bases that's for sure.

You newbs are slacking on these. http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...ilb&org=145 Fulmer - 5 IP 7 H 3 R 3 ER 1 BB 4 SO (Candelario took him deep. 3 run homer in 1st) Cease - 5.1 IP 5 H 2 R 2 ER 2 BB 6 SO Burr went 1 IP, 1 hit scoreless in his debut with W-S Flores had to be removed from the game. I believe he got hit by a line drive. Peter 2-4, R Zavala 2-3, 2B, R, BB

Reds won at least. Padres will probably seperate themselves from the pack playing the horrible Phillies.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) This series should be ugly. We also thought the same about the Houston series. You never know.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 07:04 AM) A left handed batter hitting a 102.8 mph pitch for a homer off LHP Chapman, that is crazy. Already a 1 WAR player at age 20 with a month + left in the season.. Crazy.

Rafael Devers is unbelievable.

Promoted over Eloy... who would've thought. I'm actually more shocked it wasn't Zavala considering his age and numbers right now. BTW, this guy broke the news first. https://mobile.twitter.com/suds_2 In fact, he tweeted it twice and tagged the white sox twitter account, but deleted it cause he probably jumped the gun. Still saw it and had to give him his props.

Nick Gordon is absolutely killing the Barons.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 08:13 PM) Remember when eloy was good? Instead of promotion, maybe demotion? It's obvious he and Collins have switched jerseys recently.
