QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) I'm surprised there's not more outrage. The guy does make a decent salary but hey, he's not willing to give above average effort. Nice. His lack of hustle blatantly cost the Sox a 3-2 lead in the first game after the all-star break, which is kind of a symbolic night - new start to the second half, etc. At least I now have a least favorite White Sox player of all time. Alex Rios tops my list forever. Who the f*** cares about last night's outcome

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) Morel is f***ing useless. Careful, he'll probably collide with Peavy on a pop up or something.

This is absolutely ridiculous. This is turning into a nightmare outing for Peavy (shocking)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) Axelrod will wind up hanging on at the big league level for a fairly long time as a 5th/6th starter I'll bet. I wonder how many 27 year olds with horrible stuff and a career ERA of 5.10 get a lot of chances in today's baseball?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 09:47 PM) Peavy getting dinked around now. Fun stuff. Bloop, bloop and blast with the way this is going

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 08:41 PM) The eye test tells me he blows. Yep, him/Flowers/Axelrod just don't seem like they can cut it at the MLB level.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 09:37 PM) Can't think of one thing he does well. He's pretty close to being a zero-tool player. I've always thought his defense was severely overrated, but I'm not sure what defensive metrics say about him.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 08:36 PM) Unearned runs. I don't think that really matters. Scouts more likely judging Peavy based on stuff and whether or not Braves are hitting him hard.

Thanks Morel, you suck

Nice defense, ha...such a bad player

That's awesome, congrats!!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 09:15 PM) Lol this cracks me up. So true. I'll give the Sox credit, they sure didn't hesitate pulling Axelrod from the rotation.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 09:14 PM) And I really doubt that tweet about Arizona not scouting Peavy is true. They could just be saying that. They have no one else left to scout unless Alexei or Lindstrom? Maybe they need Axelrod to throw batting practice before the game?

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 08:12 PM) Peavy 93mph. I've seen all that I need to. Yep, time for a 3 hr rain delay

Peavy with a lot on his fastball. Everything in 92-93 range, as his average was 89.9 coming into the game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 08:10 PM) Bah, not every team has to scout a guy in person. That I do agree with

Peavy at 93mph...nice

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 08:06 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 4m Teams scouting #WhiteSox-#Braves today: TOR, BOS, SEA, NYY, BAL, AZ. Not all looking at Peavy. NYY on normal coverage. AZ not pursuing him. what? Not a really good list there outside of the Red Sox. I was really hoping Arizona would be interested in him. Baltimore makes sense, they just have very little to give up.

Phegley gives and takes back

So now Ventura stops playing Dunn vs LHP?

I would question if this was going to hurt the clubhouse, but they have played all year like a broken team anyways. Hopefully Rios hits 4 homers today.

Since when is Garza this must-have ace? That would have been an incredible deal for the Cubs.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 03:27 AM) Doesn't make any sense as to why Rios was hugging everyone though. He wasn't, just a bad twitter rumor that took off

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 03:20 AM) Agreed. I hate Ventura more than anything but any outrage here is dumb. I'm mad at both of them

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 03:19 AM) I'm starting to think Ventura might just be a dumb person. He's a smart guy, just not sure if he views things from the proper perspective that a manager needs to.
