Love to see Sanchez getting a chance. I may be a bit biased as he's probably the best hitter for average out of the three and he's nearly two years younger but I've liked him since I saw him turn a 100 mph fastball for a double in the futures game. Just a pure hitter.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) Where the hell did Putnam even come from? He's been great this season He's finally been given a chance. He's been great with us. Even Cubs fans are shocked how good he's been.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 09:24 PM) Jackson wasn't traded because of performance. He was traded because he was about to become a free agent. I still believe he was bit of a head case om the mound though. Pretty much the black Javy Vasquez.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) What a horrible thing to say. And EJax was pretty decent with the Sox so I am going with Vazquez. Neither are bad choices. I agree with Jackson though. Javy did pitch here for 3 years. Jackson was pretty much one and done.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 07:19 AM) Between all the bad stuff off the field, the way players are used and abused by teams, suddenly a talented kid shows a little bit of attitude and he is treated like the devil. The modern day Jim McMahon.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 10:07 PM) Well this is another step closer to that great draft pick, right? The road to Matuella/Aiken? Idk someone else can come up with the clever catch theme for that.

Cleto 98-99 tonight. If he can ever harness his control, he might make a terrific closer.

Cleto is at least fun to watch. Young, fastball reaches triple digits, and is unpredictable to watch pitch.

Lol wow. Lindstrom is getting touched up. You can replace diarrhea with solid crap, but it's still s***.

OT: but the Little League Team from Chicago won tonight. Great for those kids.

Nice to see those chicago kids avoid elimination and advance to fight another day.

I'll say it again.. god I missed you Avi.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 08:56 PM) With so many interesting hitters in Charlotte, they give the ML at bats to Danks. It would be nice to see if any of them can hit ML pitching, but some will likely be given away after the season. Danks has been red hot since his recall and is finally getting consistent ABs in the ML level. I have no issues with him getting the at bats when most of the interesting prospects are all in the infield. Now if you want to argue Beckham and Dunn then go right ahead. But it's not like he's going to be taking at bats away from Eaton when he comes back and Avi is our RF for a while.

Sale.. 6 IP 8 H 3 R 3 ER 2 BB 8 SO. And this is without his best location. Just the everyday Ace s***.

Knights pouring it on now. They just put up a 7 spot in the 7th inning.

Damn that ball was killed. Sale isn't locating well tonight.

Avi just hustling down that line. Almost beat it out. God I missed him.

Everyone in the Knights lineup has at least one hit tonight. That lineup is fun to keep an eye on and this is with Phegley and Micah out of it.

Kinda wanna see Hawk get a bucket of ice water dumped on him tomorrow... too bad I have to work.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 10:49 AM) Sounds like he is just gonna be insurance down in Rockford, Raanta will still be the backup in Chicago That's good for Rockford. He is an outstanding AHL goalie. Probably insurance in case Crawford gets injured and Raanta flops as well.

Hawks sign an old friend..

Avi...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 02:32 PM) This game is far from over, but you all knew that. Carroll is less than impressive. Especially with Nieto catching. That guy is jinxed this year with his record behind the plate.

Rose and Davis showing that Chi town pride tonight.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) Huh, Danks gave up as many runs as Buherle yet pitched deeper into the game. You do realize that was earlier in the game when he gave up 3 by the third inning when he posted that right?
