If they decide to bring in a lefty starting catcher next year, Soto would be the perfect platoon.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 09:44 PM) HR Alexei 12-2 Yanks. Crazy he's going to end up with a better average and homers than Avi and LaRoche most likely

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) One day so bad, next day so good, rubber match so bad. Wouldn't be the first time the starting pitching collapsed the last few months of the season.

QUOTE (Sox Fan In Husker Land @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 09:25 PM) That last at bat by Avi was a complete s*** show. When's the last time he even came close to hitting a home run?

Between last night with DJ on the radio and Stone right there on TV, the Sox announcers are being openly critical of Avi's approach at the plate.

No reason for Abreu to still be batting. Definitely hobbled, and game is out of hand.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:56 PM) You realize after that season, he all but destroyed the franchise? There are no honorary titles given to World Series winning GMs if they follow it up with seasons of suck fest. Every move for ten years has been driving further into the ground. They both should be fired after this season, but I don't get why some act like Hahn is this incredible GM ready to be unleashed as soon as KW is gone.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) Ha, LaRoche takes the ball the opposite way for a single. Can it be like Little League where we can pinch run for him so he can go warm up to pitch?

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 07:52 PM) Clearly this FO isn't interested in winning they way we're supposed to. I'm tired of Kenny Williams. His comments make it clear he's still in charge and he needs to go. Stop blaming KW. At least he was able to put together a winning team once. Rick Hahn has been pretty awful at his job. Great guy, great speaker, awful GM.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:47 PM) They're not going to give up on Avi yet and we all know that. What they're going to do in the IF I have no idea. But since I think them picking up Alexei's option is a terrible idea, that's my best guess. I said this the other day, but the fact they were looking so hard at a corner outfielder, I think they could easily give up on Avi if he continues to be the worst offensive starter in baseball.

Outstanding job by Sale, Rodon and Samardzija this turn through the rotation.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 07:44 PM) Where do we start? Looking at next year's roster, getting a legit RF and 3B should be step 1 and 1a

Hopefully LaRoche can pitch 2 out of 3 days

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 07:41 PM) How is Samardzija not being thrown out of this game? He threw two right at his legs. Girardi would beg for them not to toss him

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) It's not just Kris Bryant. I don't think they drafted Bryant, anyway. It's Kris Bryant, it's turning Shark into Addison Russell. Their minor leagues are just so stacked. Schwarber was a great pick given the industry consensus going into the draft.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) Mercy that ball was demolished. 7-0 Yanks. No reason in the world for Samardzija to still be in. Let Carroll mop this up.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 07:34 PM) Yeah they did hit Tulo on the hand. This one just happened after Sanchez hit someone on KC

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:32 PM) Honestly, they need to successfully draft position players. It's been a huge boon on their success. Can we just steal the Cubs scouts?

Shocker, benches empty in Toronto/KC game. Volquez acting like a psycho yet again.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) We spent this off-season, where has that gotten us? 3 games under .500 with 60 games left Well, that's a major improvement from where they were last year. A rotation of Sale, Q, Rodon, Danks and Johnson is not playoff caliber next year.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) Hey maybe we'll be in the playoffs right before Chris Sale decides to leave. That would help. Hahn and company better be ready to spend this offseason, as there's not enough in the pipeline the next two years to make this team competitive enough to be a legit contender.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 07:23 PM) Shark thinks this team can get a playoff spot and throws this bulls*** game. Gotta love it. Talk the talk but certainly cant actually do the work. He desperately needs to go back to the NL this offseason

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 07:22 PM) Glad we held on to him, instead of trading him for something... The trade deadline couldn't have come at a worse time

Why would you continue to call offspeed pitches? Thank god he didn't sign an extension yet, he's not a $100 million dollar pitcher

Sure glad he threw those 15-20 or so pointless pitches last game out.
