Well, this sucks. Maybe it will rain tomorrow

REED! Impressive performance, great job by the bullpen. Humber with the interesting victory

Want to get Herrera and keep Ethier from batting again

Way too much of an uppercut swing by Beckham. That was a pitch that the old school Beckham could have lined to right center.

Billy Hamilton is the Reds SS prospect with all those steals

This pitcher has good numbers, but he's given up a ton of homers

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers in this thread. Hope you got the green light to sleep in tomorrow.

AJP!! Nice throw

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:06 AM) They have been looking at infield prospects. But I have a feeling they wont get anybody major league ready for Dempster. They probably don't want anybody MLB ready

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:04 AM) Say the Cubs eat most of Dempsters contract but they want someone like Jones. Would you do it? The Cubs would probably aim higher than getting a future closer. I would not do that trade if I was KW (or Theo)

I don't miss that version of Uribe. Juan Rivera had an epic AB against Crain last year, IIRC

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:01 AM) Nate Jones may be our most expendable piece that actually has a fairly high value No thanks with regards to trading him

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:00 AM) Very close call. I think we got him, but I can't be too pissed since it's a 50/50 call Ump gave us a huge break on the Ethier K last inning

Damn, didn't think Loney had enough speed to beat that out

Not even close...poor Nate Jones, what more does he need to do to be trusted?

Nate must have been tired after his 6 pitches

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:55 AM) Dayan's all out of sorts lately. Getting jammed by pitches ahead in the count, yanking pitches late in the count Sitting on the bench for better part of a week has to be hard on someone as streaky as he is.

Alexei should try to steal against Wright and his slow release

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 04:48 AM) I think he would trade those prospects away depending on the player. But you can almost feel Kenny itching to make a deal right now. To be honest Kenny shouldnt give 2 cents what anybody on here or the media thinks about his deal. At least thats what a GM should do. There's no one currently in the Sox minors who us fans should get upset about if they're traded, I honestly believe.

Very nice! Nate should get the 8th

Bring in Ohman and put Nate in LF for a batter

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:40 AM) I'm all for benching him, but there's no replacement. He lucked out by having Robin trust him and show he could come back and hold them down a couple of innings tonight. He's even luckier that a guy like Axelrod is his only competition at the moment (this is due to Stewart and Santiago being in the bullpen, they were by far our best rotation depth last season). When the competition becomes Quintana, we've got something cooking. It's not for right now. Cooper is going to have to do a little coaching with these right handers and hopefully both can turn it around...but we may only need one to do so. Floyd certainly gets the nod if they keep having similar outings Great post

Excellent pitch by Hector there.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:34 AM) Hopefully Santiago still has it despite sitting on the bench Was hoping we'd see Jones start this inning.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:32 AM) You have to realize that Humber is extremely valuable to the White Sox if he can command his pitches at all. Humber has NOTHING has an outing like this where Axelrod will have everything working and have similar stat lines. Phil had a great year last year and had mystified many by not succeeding sooner. While we John is still hurt and there are no actual prospects in waiting to replace him I don't mind trying one more start to catch lightning in a bottle. It took some real mettle to settle down after that third inning. Humber had a great 1st half of the year last year. An ERA over 5 after the ASB raised some red flags.
