I am so getting drunk at the game today.

I'll be at this game. Section 162 row 15 if any of whose going wants to meet and have a couple of beers on me. :-)

Thank god.

Yea saw in on the minor league game thread. He's had an incredible year.

Congrats to Wilkins. Incredible year for him.

Damn.. think I'm gonna miss Bassitt's debut.

Nice win.

Max is matching Chris in the double digit K's.

Got to feel for the kid Suarez. Twice he just missed getting hits off Sale then proceeds to strikeout.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 01:38 PM) KKKKKKKK Mostly on fastballs too. Trax has him at 96.1 most of the game.

Heh.. ump knew he missed that one and then just gave Sale that strikeout.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) How come when Hawk uses old school stats to judge a player, he is a crazy old man who the game has passed by, but when Stone constantly praises pitchers on their W-L record, there is nothing similar? Funny thing is, when Stone first started here, he never used that stat and actually "argued" with Hawk over it. Since then, it seems he's either changed his tune or he just does it to not have Hawk in his ear about it.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 12:07 PM) Montas activated and promoted to AA. Starts tomorrow. JPN is going to enjoy watching that Barons team next year. Hell, I might have to take a trip up there.

I think Eaton will be even better next year. Especially in the power department.

Not a good pitch selection by Flowers. Kinsler makes Sale pay.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 10:48 AM) Victor Martinez isn't a catcher any more, he's a DH. Not to mention is a much better hitter.

@CSNMooney: Baez: "We're just waiting for Bryant now."

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 09:51 AM) I'd take Drew Rucinski. Hell I'd take a Jeff Soptic like arm in the low minors. I'd consider it a win.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 06:50 PM) I can confirm this as I read the same thing earlier today. For anyone that wants to see for their self its an open account to the public. https://mobile.twitter.com/adamswc12 Its his first time away from home and it sounds like he's missing friends and family. Heh.. OT, but Tyler Danish and Tim Anderson are like BFFs.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 10:36 PM) Sale and Rodon don't have high ceilings? You could have fooled me. I'm assuming he means as far as hitters.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 08:41 PM) The question is future core. With the guys they've called up, plus Kris Bryant, gotta be the Cubs. Agreed. Sox have the better pitchers obviously, but we'll see what Theo and Jed do this off season. Even with those prospects, they still have some attractive ones they can deal in the off season for pitching or go the FA route for a player(s) they like for the future. I like what Hahn has done for us though.

Still don't understand why Sanchez is batting 9th. Kid needs as many PA as possible.

Would love to see the Nordiques have a team again.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) That is a really exciting AFL lineup. One of the better ones that I can remember.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 10:11 PM) Well yea I agree. As a 4th OF I'd take Danks just because he's going to cost about 1/4 of De Aza and he can play CF. But I'm not entirely convinced a better LF than De Aza is needed next year. Team has bigger holes IMO. Agreed. Which is why I think that 4+ million can be better spread elsewhere.
