Also, KLaw again said today that Kowar is a better prospect than Singer

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 11:39 PM) Damn that's depressing Also recently read where he's been horrible hitting with wood bats the last two summers. I don't think he has a prayer of being a top 5 pick

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) Teddy Cahill‏Verified account @tedcahill 30s31 seconds ago Seth Beer lost ~15 pounds this summer as he worked to improve his athleticism and defense. Will be interesting to see his progress this year Pretty sure he recently posted Konerko-esque speed times

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 02:19 AM) The main prospects (along with Moncada/Delmonico/Anderson) were a Rutherford single away from being no hit today. That's impresssive Good end to the night for Yoan and Timmy

Good for Timmy

Way to go Yoan!

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 03:21 AM) Santana just hit Garcia to put the tying and go-ahead runs on with nobody out, the momentum completely with the home team, and then the home team manager swings the momentum right back into the hands of the road team with a bunt call on two strikes. Not good! Number 6 hitter also with the great Yolmer and Anderson after.

The main prospects (along with Moncada/Delmonico/Anderson) were a Rutherford single away from being no hit today. That's impresssive

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 03:15 AM) Am I the only one that just witnessed some really stupid baseball and also a lesson not learned from yesterday? You don't like playing for one run with this amazing bullpen?

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 03:14 AM) C'mon. This bunting nonsense is completely bush league. On two strikes? At home? Nobody out? He's a joke of a manager in terms of strategy

Please go coach high school softball Ricky

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 02:26 AM) I think Dunning is running out of gas at this point He's also faced that team a lot this year. They've roughed him up

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 12:45 AM) Pretty brutal day on the farm Woof, nothing positive besides Rutherford and Robert returning.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 08:33 PM) Engel should be in CF next year unless we somehow find a better option with mix of defense and hit tool. He can't hit much, but he is an elite defender. If Engel can become just a .240/.320/.390 guy, that is plenty valuable with his defense in CF until something better comes along. small sample size but Engel is not lighting up the defensive metrics. Leury grades out as much better

QUOTE (Insp @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 02:48 AM) From reading this one would never guess that Moncada went 2 for 4 tonight with both hits being doubles. Hits were on 1-0 and 1-1 counts, fwiw

I have no idea what Moncada's plan at the plate is with two strikes. He can't keep falling behind in the count if he's not going to try and protect

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 02:55 AM) Why did Lucas get 4 ER? Shouldn't he get 3ER due to Leury's error? No error

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 02:54 AM) All things considered, I consider Giolito's outing promising for his first MLB start of the year. Command of the fastball, Excellent change. Needs to work on throwing strikes with the curve but Coop will help with that. Homers suck, but when the wind is blowing out at Sox Park there is nothing you can do really about HRs. Some that would be flyball outs in other parks are HRs here. He pitched much better than his line will show. Fastball effectiveness was way better than I expected early on. His best pitch has to be his curve, so let's hope we see huge Improvements with it going forward

QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 01:51 AM) When you can sit on it, the 2nd and 3rd time through the lineup, ML lineups are going to tee off. To me, always felt he needs to pitch backwards. Slow stuff to get ahead and then high fastballs up in the count

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 02:51 AM) I wonder if he wouldn't be a better starting SS than the current starting SS Easily

Slow hook of course. That fastball got really destroyed last few innings

Wouldn't mind pulling Giolito now

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 02:31 AM) I think we have a keeper with Giolito, but if he's throwing 92-93 vs 95-96 he's a #3 and not a potential ace. I think we all would be thrilled if he can be a 3.

QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 02:30 AM) This sort of felt like a spring training start to be honest, focusing on one thing (the fastball) and not really worrying about secondary stuff. Totally agree

Missing right down the plate on nearly every fastball now. Gonna get ugly if he can't use offspeed stuff
