QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 28, 2015 -> 01:52 AM) Yeah, that's got to be it. You should know me well enough to know that's sarcasm

Nice Polanco

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 28, 2015 -> 02:51 AM) arrieta has always had talent, even when he struggled in Baltimore, but absolutely nothing about his career makes sense statistically. Only thing I've seen similar is halladay. Added 2-3 mph to fastball and that insane cutter

Pirates just giving him a false sense of security for the WC game

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 28, 2015 -> 01:23 AM) Arrieta is a cheat code. Mr. Sunday Night....has same number of homers hit as given up since his first Sox start.

Haha, unique choice of letting LaRoche bat. No idea why he's getting any at bats still

Pretty sure Olt leads the world in average HR distance

Carlos Martinez left after two batters with shoulder tightness. Didn't look good based on his reaction.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 10:27 PM) Would be fantastic if giants lose tonight so no cubs fans get to see them clinch. Couldn't agree more!

Whew, great win for the Pirates!

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 08:13 PM) Don't forgetting defrauding the Padres for Rizzo. A couple of these things go differently, and the Cubs are still in rebuilding mode. And take on salary in the Montero/Fowler trades, something most rebuilding teams couldn't do.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 09:12 PM) The Cubs wouldn't have even taken Schwarber if Rodon had been on the board at their pick. Nope, sounds like Boras was trying to make things happen for the Cubs to draft Rodon. Thankfully Hahn called his bluff.

I don't think the Cubs even viewed Schwarber as the next best player in the draft. More like they took him to save money for all the high school arms they took in later rounds (Cease, Sands, etc). Not even worth debating Rodon vs Schwarber on the Sox, as Nola would have been the pick if Rodon wasn't still there.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 03:25 AM) Innings 1-3: .285/.346/.509 Innings 4-6: .332/.379/.608 Innings 7-9: .252/.304/.387 Looks like you're right. Oh my

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 01:56 AM) Well Abreu wasn't close on that at bat Seems like he struggles late in games. No stats to back that up

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 01:56 AM) Good time for #30 Not one of his better at bats

How many Nintendo references this inning

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 02:26 AM) I hope LaRoche gets better next season. The team needs him to be that Nationals player. Rather he retire

Incredible at bat

Trayce racking up extra base hits

Just an awful second half for Sale. His slider has vanished.

Hit a slam Trayce

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) True, Rodon will be an outstanding pitcher. One who can make an impact every five days. My original statement stands, where is the Sox Kris Bryant an everyday player with that kind of impact ready to come up from the minor leagues? Mark Some teams are strong at developing pitching, while others developing hitting. Sox and Cubs are basically total opposites, with both teams having to pay a ton of money to try and upgrade the area they're weak at developing. I tend to think people underestimate just how good the 3-headed lefty monster of Sale/Q/Rodon could be.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) This conversation has been had in other places. Rodon's ceiling is a workhorse version of Chris Sale. Fulmer's is probably more like Jose Quintana. While I think Fulmer has a chance to be very good, Rodon has a chance to be a star. The Sox got some nice breaks to get both in the draft.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) I am one of Fulmer's biggest cheerleaders based on conversations in some of the other threads and I voted Carlos without any hesitation. Agreed, no reason Rodon can't be a 1-2. Fulmer more likely a 3-4.
