Buehrle>Wood

Bizarrely quiet game thread tonight.

Fantastic trade. Surprised they pulled it off.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 09:56 AM) I think it's different when Roman is supposed to be...excuse me here but The Guy for the company. I think it's going to be hard to completely stay away from this stuff if he goes on good morning america or the today show or whatever with this hovering over him but we'll see. Anywho, Mauro and Daniel Bryan are going to be calling the Cruiserweight Classic so that's pretty awesome. Wonder if they've chose to ditch Reigns as the guy. What he did had to be pretty bad. Simple steroid abuse and I doubt hes suspended. Perhaps that's why they're rushing the shield triple threat. It needs to happen at some point, but not on the biggest throwaway card of the year when Reigns isn't even there to build it. Maybe they just decided to wipe their hands clean with Reigns and be done with this match. I mean, probably not to all this, but just trying to make sense of some odd decision making.

I swear to god Bradley is on the take.

I have no idea how Bradley has a roster spot. Guzan laying an absolute egg too. Looks incredible nervous/hesistant. Not sure what's wrong with him tonight considering he's looked so good.

These Clinton Foundation leaks are amazingly entertaining.

Rollins winning clean makes so much more sense. What doesn't make any sense at all is booking the Shield 3 way for the biggest throwaway ppv of the year when Roman isn't even around to build it.

Croatia looks like the best team in the tournament. Even in their tie they completely dominated that game and lost because of their protesting idiot fans. Surprised by them, but looking at their roster the amount of big clubs their players play may rival that of an England, Italy, etc. Surprising for an Eastern Europe team.

I think he just said he was a drug runner or something to pay his bills early on. Lol, burial incoming.

Austin digging in deep here on Austin.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) I want to say that this might turn the team around, but I truly doubt that. Lopsided pitching matchups in our favor next two nights and we don't play KC or Cleveland until August. Why not...

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) The Ventura obsession here is a little excessive. Sure he makes some strange decisions (particularly with the lineup order though the importance of that isn't huge) but so do a lot of managers, the standard isn't exactly high. Ventura actually ranked in the top third in terms of good use of your best relievers in high leverage situations last year: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2015-mlb...ny-joe-girardi/ Inspiring the players and creating a good atmosphere in the clubhouse is less tangible but it seems like in the last month anything bad the players do is on Robin and not on the fact that we have a lot of bad players. By far and away the White Sox's biggest problem has been talent evaluation. Nobody's really doing anything dramatically different than what you'd expect given their career numbers and random deviation. I like Hahn but his poor decisions have effected this team more than Robin's in my opinion. The anti-Ventura crowd largely agrees there's a talent evaluation problem too though. It's not one against the other. The manager is the first thing that could be replaced and be done over night, though.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) Maybe this game turns it around. Hang on tonight, and some great pitching matchups next two nights.

Awesome. And great hustle by eaton. Didn't think he had a chance after it was cut off.

Come on wild pitch.

Rookie bunting vs Kimbrel is not smart. Not that it ended up better.

Like The Wyatts and New Day, but them feuding may just be the single worst idea of all time.

The Sox just pulled a Sox.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:09 PM) lol What, you think he's done well out there? He's been awfuln and mostly on routine stuff. It's probably the lack of playing time, but still, very poor.

Great call for the 5 infielders though.

Really disappointing defensive season for Saladino continues.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) Why should we fire Robin? Did Robin make Putnam walk the bases loaded? Did he make Robertson incapable of completing an inning yesterday? Said he make Shields historically s***ty? Robin isn't perfect, but he is not the reason this team sucks. Thats not the question. The question is why you should keep him. If you can't answer that, he should be gone.
