QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) You knew it was coming, but today is really bothering me as a fan. Same stale franchise. If they suck again next year, the new GM should get the chance to hire his new manager

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 07:10 PM) Not trying to start a fight, just defend myself and Ozzie. So the Sox fire Parent with a weekend to go of meaningless games. I guess Hahn quit on the team by removing somebody before all games were played. Uh ... this is meaningless just like Ozzie leaving with a week to go meant NOTHING. Both teams sucked beyond belief and it mattered not. I don't know why Robin would want to stay BTW. This team is going to suck again next year. Why does he want to manage bad hitting and defensive players. Good try but this is nothing like the Ozzie situation

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 13h13 hours ago Chicago, IL Danks said he's never had a better teammate than Abreu. Many players are tied with Abreu for that honor in Danks' mind, but none better

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 05:24 PM) Merkin floating the name Raul Ibanez as a possibility. as DH? Cool, anyone but LaRoche

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 04:17 AM) Robertson needs to find his Yankee self. Fastball has flattened out this season.

Robertson's fastball continues to look like batting practice. Ugh, such a bad call at the waiver deadline.

Robertson throwing change ups tonight

Blown away by how good Lindor and Sano look

I wonder if Hawk knows the Sox have substantially more bloop hits this year than the Royals. Great tweet out there with bloop totals on the year...can't link it but saw it on Bernstein's twitter https://mobile.twitter.com/ScottLindholm/st...382696934752256

Avi should spend all next year in the minors completely renovating his swing

Farmer said he was talking with Ventura today and Ventura was going on and on about how good Trayce has been

Pirates just have to win 2 of 3 this weekend at worst to clinch hosting the WC game. The Reds have lost 11 in a row now.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 01:02 AM) The mainstream media is really counting Kershaw out of the Cy Young conversation? Heard Chris Singleton say Arrieta does more in bigger games. I guess Kershaw doing it to clinch the division was an unimportant game.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 09:08 PM) Presume this is a shot at some of our other outfielders too. Should be...Melky and Avi are horrendous out there. I would say a shot at all the fielders, especially since he supposedly hated Micah Johnson's defense earlier in the year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 06:58 PM) Matt Spiegel ‏@MattSpiegel670 3h3 hours ago Steve Stone just told us Trayce Thompson should play centerfield at the start of next season. Interesting, especially given how much DJ and Farmer seem to hate Eaton's defense this year. I know I've said it a few times, but it wouldn't shock me at all if Eaton is dealt this offseason.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 16h16 hours ago Jeff Samardzija praised Trayce Thompson's defense, said he should play every day even if "he hits .050."

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) So is the Southern League just a prospect haven right now? Anderson seems really low otherwise, although being a AA league it might be justified. Spencer Adams seems very, very low for low A. Outside of Anderson a few times, this year had a significant lack of Sox players showing up on the BA Hot Sheet. To me, there is a gigantic gap between Anderson, Fulmer and Adams and the rest of the prospects.

Trayce showing up as 1.0 for defensive WAR now. Was negative 2 last week

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 02:40 PM) That'd be great, but I'd settle for him being an average MLB OF offensively to go along with his much better than average defensive abilities. How about just a positive WAR player

The Grinder was very enjoyable

QUOTE (beautox @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 02:45 AM) nice game overall for Thompson, should've had an extra base hit but cain's gonna cain. Sure seems like he's won himself a starting spot for next year

Wasn't that pitch right down the middle to Trayce

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 03:15 AM) That might have been the best defensive play by a southsider this year. That and Avi's robbery vs Orioles

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 10:36 PM) Know who else is good under pressure(71% of his passes completed)? And PFF(Since you're using them) had ranked ahead of Jared Goff in their top 10 players returning to the Pac 12?....Cody Kessler. I like Kessler, but seems like he doesn't have to make a lot of tough throws. USC spreads the field so efficiently, and he has receivers with insane speed getting open.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 10:12 PM) Somehow the Sox took three straight at Kauffman vs. KC the last time out. Would be crazy if Sox swept 'em again. KC has no momentum rightnow for the playoffs. Team is embedded in its first real funk. Sox have cured them and other central teams before. That wouldn't be good from a draft/slot allowance perspective. With Rodon not pitching the rest of the way, I'm cool with the Sox losing every game the rest of the way 9-8 with Sale and Q staying healthy and Abreu/Eaton/Trayce/Sanchez/Avi hitting well.
