QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 08:52 AM) I really love fast players that play fast. Leury had highly graded speed and never seemed to really show it. Hanson is a blur. Second fastest 2B on the bases this season. What shocked me was Tim Anderson was the second fastest SS in the same statistic. Still have no idea why Rick doesn't allow some of the guys on this team to steal more.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 07:23 AM) A douche for working slow? Lots of pitchers work slow to the plate. No, as a person from some accounts.

There were rumors about Montero being a terrible teammate in Arizona so it's not surprising. Arrieta is a douche though, so I'm glad he said it.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 07:50 PM) 7 innings, 3 runs for Giolito. Solid outing.

So John and Gar don't know how roster sizes work.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 08:16 PM) Yeah even him being an effective reliever is in question. Sounds like they are trying to make him a sinker baller, which is silly to me. He's just not very good anymore They also changed his delivery. Kid had a funky like motion (Lincecum like) and now he mostly pitches out of the stretch. Not a fan.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 02:57 PM) 0-1 2BB 2 HBP for Robert Ouch. He'll probably be out of the lineup tomorrow.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) If Stan were to sign Sharp, I'm not sure what the hell he's trying to do. Q would use sharp in place of someone Stan wants to develop. If Sharp is strictly on the bottom 6, I have no issues with it. Unfortunately, you know Q is going to put him in the top 6. I'm just hoping its in spurts, not permanently.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 25, 2017 -> 04:43 PM) My hope is Rick Renteria. Unfortunately with the Robert commitment, I'm sure it will be. Gotta hope he improves on the job in some aspects.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 25, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) Not sure Vegas would do it but getting Marc Methot wouldn't be a bad thing. He gave Crosby fits in the ECF I would hope he did considering Crosby sliced a quarter of his finger off a couple months prior. And I think Hawks will give that kid Rutta a chance. They seem to like him. Keith-Murphy Kempny-Seabrook Forsling/Campbell-Rutta Alot of question marks there, but alot of mobility and upside. We'll see what Bowman does down the line here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2017 -> 08:07 PM) Was shocked Grudz sat there and didn't stand up for his pitcher. I personally think he's been terrible as a manager. That team has no business underachieving that much with the talent on that roster.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 24, 2017 -> 06:05 PM) Zavala grand slam in High A Off Franklin Perez too who dominated W-S his last start.

Shields is giving away these first career homers like candy today.

Why did it have to be James f***ing Shields pitching on Buehrle day?!

His son singing the anthem was fantastic. Did not expect that.. which of course doesn't surprise me with Buehrle and his kids. Daughter throws better than 50 cent.

Buehrle.. just one of a kind. Thank you so much for everything you did here. My favorite Sox pitcher ever.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 11:40 AM) Getting Saad back is awesome. Better and younger than Panarin. I f***ing called this s*** months ago in the NHL thread. Look it up. Got Saad back. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 02:15 PM) I blame soxace.

I still can't get over the fact Zach LaVine played on a torn ACL for 6 minutes. Just crazy.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 11:07 PM) Pax confirmed they didn't want to add another wing, because of Niko and Portis, so they sold Bell... The same Niko that they were desperately trying to get rid of last season? By far the worst run organization in Chicago. I actually liked Dunn alot in college, so I guess I'll have one young player I'll be keen on developing. Hopefully Levine heals well. I find it funny people are ho hum about Levine because of that, yet wanted Smith who also had an ACL tear in college.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 09:17 PM) The strange push for him to come up to the big leagues was one of the last things the development people did which made absolutely no sense. Absolutely crippled his development. Said that before the season even started.

He was a beast in OOTP.

Is it too late to get Saad back?

Absolutely awful for Hossa. Dude still has quite a bit left in the tank too.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 11:00 PM) (It should be noted they drew 14!!! walks, compared to 5K's) All that sexy discipline guys we just drafted is helping. Gonzalez, Yurchak and Blackman had 7 of those 14 walks.
