  1. Scooter Gennett is still unsigned.He's probably as good a right fielder as Mazara except for his arm which is important in RF. Offer him $1M for a couple of months. How can you turn that down ? Stick him on the taxi squad and see what you have. I always wanted Corey Dickerson but I stuck up fiercely for Mazara because he had superstar upside .
  2. Now . now, don't get that feeling sorry for ourselves . 2nd team in the 2nd city nonsense blues, brother. It's all good.
  3. I'm thinking that the Marlins will trade Jonathan Villar before the trade deadline. If there's any position on the Sox that could use a much better player its 2nd base. He's only signed for this year so if he has a good year he should be available for the last 30 games . What he's worth for 30 games and playoffs, I have no idea what the Marlins would want. Hell you could offer something for him now if trades are allowed now.
  4. MLB teams want to hire Hispanic managers and Ozzie still can't get a gig and he won a World Series . That's really all anyone has to know about how toxic he is. No one wants unpredictable personalities when they have a huge upside of bad publicity for your team.It's the same reason no one signed Puig.
  5. Also anyone with MLB.TV should have already got an email that says you'll be getting a $59 refund if u picked just the one team package but need to claim it by 7/31 . You can apply it to next years package or just get the money back.
  6. Im not thinking of anyone . It's literally in the article.
  7. id had the same problem but i fixed it yesterday. Change the format from the white sox highlights page to show the scores page. Then u will see the game and it should be highlighted in blue since im assuming you have the Sox as your favorite team. If you have any problems message me.
  8. Proven bat that's why and in a year they hoped to contend that was more important.
  9. I thought he called it shrubbery as in "its another shrubbery" referring to the double into the ivy and one of his HR's into the green shrubbery adorning the CF hitters background.
  10. Is it the sport you love or the winning and having a good team ? Every time I see a game i already know i love the sport (No reaffirmation required) but winning is a lot more fun.
  11. That barrage of extra base hits was fun. 3 doubles a triple and HR with most of the damage coming after 2 outs. Remember David Ross said “I’m going to treat it like a real game as much as possible.” Lucky for him it wasn't .
  12. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/blackhawks/olli-maatta-connor-murphy-ruled-unfit-list-sidelined-blackhawks-grows This is from July17. It says Murphy and Maatta were both at the 1st 3 practices
  13. I'm not sure we can make any predictions on Roberts peak OBP. Pitchers might find out very fast not to throw him strikes. He's going to see more sliders and curves away than Eloy did and that's saying something. He's going to be forced to take walks. The good thing is they cannot pitch around the whole lineup and that will help Robert . Maybe we're all being cautious in our appraisals . We aren't used to having a superstar type who does everything well and that could be Robert and also Moncada.
  14. I know I'm behind the actual game but the Sox broadcast for the bottom of the 4th with Detwiler pitching had no broadcasters. just sounds of the game.
  15. i have an MLB TV subscription for this season . Why can i get the game on my MLB app on my phone but not my MLB app on my TV ? i'm signed in to everything.
  16. So not only is Crawford "unfit" so is Connor Murphy and Ollie Maatta.
  17. More like instead of "you can put it on the board yes" to the Hawkism . "he kilt it . Mercy" !
  18. And this is why I argued so strongly in the off season not to sign Puig. There will always be a certain segment of society who marches to their own beat and in doing so puts himself above his team mates if he cannot conform to certain society norms. Now I have no idea the circumstances in which Puig got the virus but we do know that following rules was never his thing so self destructive behavior is part of his pattern. I will admit I had said recently to sign him thinking his talent could overshadow his personality shortcomings in such a short season. I was wrong. Must have been temporary insanity.
  19. Looks like our old buddy Nate Jones has made the Reds Opening Day roster. I wish him well though there's always another injury for him on the horizon.
  20. So Merkin estimated a combined 850ft. on the 2 HR's seems conservative . What do you all think and which one went farther ? Just short of the concourse is a mighty blast we don't often see . We've seen Eloy, Avi.Moncada and Thome all semi recently going extremely deep in CF, Moncads hit one to CF that was 452 ft last year that looked longer than Roberts. Eloy's went 462 to slightly left of center into a staircase. Abreu hit one 462 that looked like it was maybe 4 rows short of the concourse but wasn't pulled as much as Roberts. Eloy also had a 471 footer to straight away CF . My guess is the one Robert hit to CF was right around 430 and the one to left was 465 so right about 895 ft of HR's.
  21. How is Vaughn going to improve enough to be top 3 in the batting order by next year ? No minors to get reps, won't be getting any time with the Sox.
  22. If you got a tv wth a youtube app thats how I've been watching them . come on down to Pasadena u can watch here
  23. Yeah a lot of absenteeism still on the board here right now.Probably will pick up once the season starts if the Sox can manage a decent record in the 1st 10 games.
