QUOTE (DBAHO @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Wonder how much of the contract the Padres would potentially pick up here as well. If trade goes through I'm hoping for 15-20M of it but not likely.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) I would say that after Shields couldn't keep the ball in the park last year, he would be a bad fit here Not only what you said but the contract pretty much cripples any other additions for the year. Maybe Morneau if he can get healthy for July but can the Sox hang in the race til then ?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) This is the kind of garbage incompetent trade that has resulted in 1 playoff appearance in a decade. I would have to agree 100% . That contract is ridiculous for a guy his age.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) Bad frame job hurt at the end https://mobile.twitter.com/WhiteSoxUmp/stat...672287169105921 Wasn't a bad frame job at all. Avila was set up inside and the ball went outside so he had to lunge for it . Can't frame a pitch when it goes where it's not supposed to. We see umps call pitches like that balls all the time.

I questioned bringing Robertson in from the start of that inning . Hate seeing closers used when it's not a closing situation. But i figured hey 6 run lead even if he does wet the bed how often do teams come back from that big of a lead ? Thought if there was ever a time to use Purke this was it. So how often do things like blowing a lead that big in the 9th happen ? Last time was 6 years ago in MLB.

Just absolutely disgusting.

What a revolting development this game is so far.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) Great effort by Saladino again You mean Genghis Khan.

Q B O K

Avila caught 2 breaks from the ump on strike calls.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:14 AM) In true Mr. Pessimism fashion, I predict leadoff homer by Altuve on a 91 mph fastball and the board melts down and everyone claims they want him to start throwing harder again. You should be at the game. Can't believe you CAN go but won't because the Sox aren't playing well. How are they ever going to play well at home without help from the fans ? Go mofo ! That ends tonight ! Kansas City ...DEAD !! Cleveland .. DEAD !!

So these last 2 pages is what it looks like when we hit the panic button. Sure these games are disappointing as are all losses, however, things are not nearly as bad as some of you think. The Sox have been in every game in this slump.The pen has blown up a bit and the luck has turned but then again the luck was so good for a while. The pitching and defense were great. The hitting and pitching were in sync. Score 3 give up 1 , score 3 give up 2 . It wasn't going to go on like that forever and it was a pretty long run of success . The hitting has actually improved and getting contributions from more guys now. But they are not in sync anymore. We were not as good as the really good run and we definitely aren't as bad as this bad run. The Sox are somewhere in the middle and I think they are very capable of making the playoffs. I think they should definitely add Morneau when he is ready. He won't cost anything but money and shouldn't be that much, The only questions I have is what will Hahn give up to get another starting pitcher. The Sox need to hold the line at somewhere around 10-12 games above .500 until Hahn is able to add to the mix. P.S. Royals... DEAD !! Indians ... DEAD !! We gotta take these bastards.

Boatload of 1 run innings this game by both teams.

Would be a shame if Abreu's rookie year turns out to be the best year of his career.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 18, 2016 -> 06:55 PM) The Sox are scoring at least two runs in this inning. Calling it now. You should ve been right.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2016 -> 06:53 PM) I was going tomorrow night if they won last night or tonight. No thanks You don't want to see Sale pitch for some reason ?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 18, 2016 -> 06:52 PM) Damn Latos fell back to Earth And burned up on re-entry.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 18, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) I don't care about pitch trax. That ball was at Rollins' nipples. Are balls at nipples strikes ? That sounds bad.

Take him out !!!

I was going to ask before this inning if this was the inning Latos gives up no runs or a bunch and gets knocked out but yet again he gives up one run. Sox need to not wait til the 7th inning to get some runs before they are too far behind.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 18, 2016 -> 06:09 PM) I've been curious about this for a while, what does hitting that button actually do? It makes you give the " Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor " speech .

For anyone with DirectTV their program guide lists 2 channels both as Astros broadcast. Channel 735 is the Sox broadcast.
