QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) Sale's career as a starter in August and September: 24 starts 157.1 innings 3.83 ERA Definitely his next hurdle to becoming a Cy Young Winner.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 09:10 PM) What a disappointment Webb has been. He looked like he was gonna be dominate last year. Fastball is down a bit this year, but nothing crazy. I still wonder if he could add a few mph if he was the closer.

15 straight relievers now that haven't been able to at least go an inning without allowing a run.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) How could Leury miss that pitch. Geez. He isn't very good. He has to be one of the weaker hitters to get this many ABs in all of the majors this year. Hopefully they can do better than him next year. As for Beckham, there really needs to be a move made with him to open up some playing time for Semien or Sanchez.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:37 PM) I wonder when the Sox will have a good team again. The Cubs have proven you can stink year after year. Baseball is such a long season it's depressing to not be a contender year after year. Robin must really love baseball to want to manage a team not built to contend. He made enough money during his career to be set for life five times over. I think both teams in Chicago will be stellar come 2016.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) 15 innings and counting since they last scored a run. And against some horrible pitchers

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 08:01 PM) De Aza'd. This team is playing some of its dumbest baseball of late....and that's saying something.

Why would the Rockies not give him a shot?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:44 PM) Surrounding Jose with Ramirez, Dunn and Viciedo is like parking your BMW 5 series outside your single wide at the trailer park. Against RHP, I would have Dunn bat 2nd. He can still get on base for Abreu, he doesn't hit into a lot of double plays, and maybe he can take advantage of a lack of shift if Eaton is on.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 06:38 PM) I honestly think he has blinders on at times mentally. He does stupid s*** like this too often for it to be a conscious thing. He needs to "unlearn" diving into 1st and running into walls. Yep, let's hope he does before he suffers a major injury.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) jesus christ, this team is falling apart. They have come out flat as can be far too often of late.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:28 PM) Dunn swings under so many crushable fastballs. Dude's just old, the apendix problem really did him no favors seemed to have aged him more quickly. I don't buy it as an excuse this many years after the fact.

It is funny though that it took Baez one game to hit more opposite field home runs than Barney and Theriot did in their careers.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 05:48 AM) Guess who just hit a go-ahead hr in the 12th for his first major league hit. Off our old friend Boone Logan

Well, 0-5 with 3 K and then he crushed a homer....sounds about right

QUOTE (lord chas @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 04:02 AM) Bullpen has hit rock bottom I would say the 4 inning, 15 run effort on Sunday was rock bottom

I can't believe they might get shut out by Lewis. Wow, go get em Sale

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 04:00 AM) Dunn should do a curtain call Throws 5mph slower than Erik Johnson

Well, 14 straight relievers

I hope Dunn doesn't have a games finished clause

The defense has let Dunn down all year

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 03:47 AM) Or the second time in 3 games Is this pen worse than 2007?

13 relievers have given up a run since Petricka closed out the game on the 31st without allowing a run after going 1 inning

How many straight relievers have failed to get at least 3 outs without giving up a run? This is amazing

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 03:24 AM) Don't be ridiculous re: job security. I am legitimately worried about his health because he's never had the appearance of a healthy man and has had a few different health issues in the past I don't think he has done a good job the last two years. With that said, I know he has job security here. And yes, health is a priority.
