Navarro should not be hitting in the 8th. I'm sure he will though and I hope to be proven wrong with a hit by him.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:52 AM) Morneau has come back only to have no plate discipline. Swinging at good pitches. Better than the rest of the team can say.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:52 AM) Abreu and Frazier chasing splitters. I am worried Todd left all his homers in San Diego Frazier is so off-balanced at the plate. He makes hitting anything slow seem impossible.

What a joke

Awful At bat. He must think his brother is still pitching.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:41 AM) Abreu has chased 306 pitches out of the strike zone and leads the majors in that category. He needs to adjust that or hes going to get worse Any idea where he ranked the previous two years

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:41 AM) Woo hoo 29 straight scoreless innings. Oh Abreu I love the 2 doubles . But did you really think Shoemaker was going to throw you a strike there with 1st base open and you hitting him well the 1st 2 AB's. A smart hitter like Ortiz would've took that pitch 99/100 times. Fantastic post

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:36 AM) Rodon never really registered with the farm system. He was barely there. If the Sox had done the traditional thing of having these guys put up huge numbers at low levels, the rankings would have loved them. Instead they are actual major leaguers, which is better than ranked minor leaguers. They were at 20 heading into 2015 with Rodon ranked 15. Problem is outside of Anderson from that lost, everyone has seen their star diminish.

Chasing garbage one again with RISP

Doesn't it look like Shoemaker gets set like 3 different times from the stretch

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 03:32 AM) The franchise has also turned out guys like Rodon and Anderson who aren't in the farm system anymore. And it was still a mediocre farm system with those guys there. It's been a top-heavy top ten for a few years now

Their defense making plays, and the Sox aren't this series. Hate the bunt attempt there down the 1b side

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 03:28 AM) I think Hahn has done his job really well given the constraints he has to work under and to say that he can't build a farm is a joke, the Sox have drafted consistently well since he took over and their LA program is starting to turn out players. The farm system is bottom ten for sure

Shields doing great at least

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 03:24 AM) Hard to build a farm system when you have to trade all of your assets for decent major league players. And they keep having to trade for guys because they miss on nearly all of their free agent signees.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:20 AM) So here's the question and this is for everyoen who wants to sell. This management cant build a roster. But you want to give them the keys to a full rebuild? Or is your objective to get them to move? Hahn needs to get fired after this year. Just can't build a winning team or build up the farm system.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:10 AM) We trade to improve at this point. I am only worried about the Sox By your guideline, why would a team trade anyone to the Sox as they aren't eliminated either

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:07 AM) Todd Frazier is turning into Rob Deer. Amazing how much potential money he's lost over the last calendar year

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:03 AM) I have followed Sox baseball for 57 years. I understand cyber frustration of not having a winning team but you are not out of the race until mathematically eliminated and we aren't So no team would ever trade by the deadline then?

Making scoring seem impossible. Another game of chasing too many pitches out of the zone and taking strikes

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 01:57 AM) Did you not see the game thread yesterday? Or did you just gloss over the " Sell!!!" posts? Doesn't mean people want them to lose if they think they should be sellers.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:54 AM) He helps the losing effort so it's all good right? Is anyone wanting them to lose yet on here? Haven't seen that yet. Doesn't mean many on here don't think they can compete with the top AL teams the rest of the way and selling should be a legit option in two weeks.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:51 AM) Tim beginning to look more like I heard he was on defense. Looks lost out there the first two games of the series. He's definitely a streaky defensive player from scouting box scores the last few years

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:51 AM) There Tim is making mistakes. Mistakes and losing = "happy" people on here He's the last person we want seeing make mistakes

Can't remember a worse stretch of offense.
