QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:24 PM) The Sox will sit on their hands and do nothing at the deadline just like last year. Remember that this is year 2 of some sort of 3 year plan. The Sox will try to retool again this offseason. This exact time next year we will be having this same conversation as the Sox again hover around 500. Stuck in baseball hell just like the other team that Jerry owns is stuck in basketball hell. It always make me wonder if Hahn would just got some hits instead of misses on his moves things could've been much different. Off the top of my head if they had gone after Fowler, Desmond and Daniel Murphy or even Murphy along with either Fowler or Desmond . Re tooling isn't a bad idea it's just bad when you have so many misses especially misses that ended up being fairly cheap moves the kind the Sox should to be good at since that's all they do.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 05:57 AM) I don't see how any team can give fair value for either of them. Both are under very friendly contracts and neither are in their prime years yet. I don't think that you should trade them at all. You've got Sale, Q, Rodon, Fulmer right now. You're set for pitching for the next 4-5 years. How many other teams can say that? True enough. You need a Shelby Miller type return and possibly more since I highly doubt Sale or Q ends up pitching like Miller did and then gets sent back to the minors. The only thing I'd disagree with you on is that these are their prime years. When you pitch like they have they last 3 years and have never gone under the knife I don't see how their futures can get much better than their present .

I say the Sox should try to extend Sale and Q again. See if they would take Danks type money. I know that would be a HUGE underpayment but another 4 years for each for $60-75M with no-trade options would be great. It would be a long shot but they have both seen what happened to Danks and they have to see all the Tommy Johns going on. Maybe they bite.

I hate Lind.

Great start from our number 5 . If only this team could hit , the starting pitching has looked pretty good lately.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) Abreu needs to sit for a day or two. Can Morneau play the field or is he strictly a DH now? He can field since he was in the NL the last few years.

Way to hit with 2 strikes Morneau !

Frazier goes yard. 3 run bomb after King griped about the 4th ball to Morneau.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 10:57 PM) That's Jake Petricka's reliever entry music! I did not know that or maybe I am Jake Petricka . Any who yeah 1st I went through Nirvana songs then Pearl Jam. It's very hard to match up song titles to games . Figured I go with a Seattle area band since we were plying Seattle.

Lawrie, Melky and Frazier go deep. Bullpen pitched well. Including Fulmer The rock theme song is by the Seattle band the Foo Fighters called "The Pretender " . Interpret that any way you please.

Toddbomb !!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) Wtf is wrong with Abreu Looked like Alexei there afraid of contact. Maybe that glove hand has something wrong with it.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) Avi didn't do anything wrong That's what I basically said for those who jumped on Avi about it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) This ump struggles with accurately calling pitches to his left Both sides actually Q got 2 straight pitches off the plate according to pitch trax in the early innings with a righty up so those were to the umps right.

Beautiful inning by Duke.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:10 PM) Avi f***ing sucks I actually thought they had a shot at Frazier at home when I saw where he was when the ball was cut off. So I'll accept the Avi out in the rundown .Otherwise maybe they get Frazier at home.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Bad first strike call on Lawrie. Danley is terrible.

Melkbomb !

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) How many double plays have we hit into tonight? 3 ,all by our 3 and 4 hitters. But on the plus side I finally got my record player set up 2 years after moving .

Kerwin Danly HP Ump just called 2 off the plate pitches by Q strikes. Is that because of Navarro or the ump ? #pitch framing.

Lawrie solo shot 1-0 Sox.

Eaton ground out to pitcher. Anderson line shot to left for a hit .Abreu GO DP. Promising start.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 06:56 PM) These game threads are so barren nowadays. Can't even get a mod to pin it and it's almost game time.
