QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 03:29 AM) love when alexei s***s the bed....twice Alexei with the nice 16:1 error:HR ratio That has to be the worst in baseball, right?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:18 AM) Snodgress will be taking a no hitter to the 9th. "Call your son, call your daughters...."

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:16 AM) Vive el "corner" Very nice

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:15 AM) At the game, what was the call? Looked weak for batters interference It was clearly interference

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 03:13 AM) Honestly, he was doing a lot of those swings even during the hot streak - we didn't notice how little power he had while he was batting .400, but now that he's back down to earth it doesn't look pretty. He used to use that kind of cut occasionally, maybe against a tough pitcher or to break out of a slump, but we haven't seen him look hitterish in a long time now. In your opinion, is he overcompensating too much for the loss of bat speed?

Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports (via Twitter) that the Cubs can select right-hander Neil Ramirez as the PTBNL in the deal. However, if the Cubs select Ramirez, they will not receive a second PTBNL. Otherwise, they can select two other pitchers from the agreed upon list of names. Also, apparently the Cubs would have gotten Odor instead of Grimm but there were concerns about Garza's elbow (Evan Grant of Dallas Morning News reports)

Down 4-1 in the 8th, of course Sale starts the inning at 106 pitches

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:02 AM) Trayce Thompson 2-4, RBI triple 3rd triple in last 5 games

As someone that's seen a large majority of Konerko's at bats with the Sox, I'll never understand why he changed his swing so much last year around the ASB. It seems like he tries to flip everything to right field, and cuts off his swing so drastically now.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:58 AM) 12 seems like a lot compared to what we get from our SS now 12 is more than Sanchez will hit in his professional baseball career

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:57 AM) The Marcus Semien Committee is pleased. Semien>Sanchez

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 01:56 AM) Seems like Sale gives up an opposite field home run every start now Tigers game plan this year has been to look away. Sale's stuff has been great the last month or so but the results haven't been as good as they were earlier in the year.

Ok, coming up to 100 pitches, take out Sale

Hawkins 0-4, K

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:30 AM) I gots that feeling too. Yep, you have to worry Rangers are only team really willing to go "all in" this deadline. By the sound of it, no other teams were really in on Garza. As you and I agree on, it's absolutely ok if you don't trade Rios and Peavy at the deadline.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:43 AM) It'd be nice to see Phegley be our first homegrown prospect (who was actually developed) since, what, Joe Crede? He's got a ton of swagger right now. Very energetic out there

Phegley with an awesome AB

Nice Tank!

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:29 AM) I meant from the game. Obviously he's not being moved. I know, just playing off today's theme. Stoney was suggesting it's in the area that leads to a sports hernia.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:26 AM) Cabrera leaving? Yep, he's the PTBNL in the Garza deal

Beck had a great game going thru 7, left in to face 2 guys in 8th, and both scored...7 ip, 3 er

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 01:18 AM) Almost has to be hurt or else has some other issue with warming up on short notice. He lost velocity in each successive outing in Chicago It makes you wonder about our advanced scouting with him and Nestor Molina

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:18 AM) CSINAA They better not have him throw 120 pitches again

Season's over... Some more great defense this game by the Sox
