Worst ,not getting anything for Samardzija at the trade deadline and the whole trade deadline in general.

Carlos Rodon's progression has to be right up there with the best.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) Not watching. I thought I read he had three perfect innings. If not, my bad. Last time Avi was up Castellanos committed an error but still no hits through his 2 game combined 8 innings against the Sox.

Montas most likely done after 4 innings . If so ,finishes with 7K 3 BB 1 ER . Not bad . I'd like to see another inning from him. He's settled down. Pitch count around 76/77 might be his limit .

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 01:08 PM) Norris has retired the last 24 White Sox he's faced. Are you counting that error by Castellanos ?

Montas with 6 K , 3 BB through 3.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) Montas looks like a bullpen guy not a starter. He's just 22 . For the Sox to have an above average future Montas developing into an above average starter is key. The worst thing the Sox could do is use him in the BP . Let him develop his pitches to go along with the heater. He's clearly not ready to be a big league starter now but he has great potential.

Nothing flashy about Q . He just does his job very very well and with about as much emotion as a ping pong ball. It'll be a sad day when he is traded. There was a huge amount of doubters about him on this board.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 06:33 PM) Slight exaggeration? By that he means sign Cubans because we lack talent at positional player talent in the minors.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 05:52 AM) Aren't there a lot of teams that spent over the cap this year and last year to the point where there aren't many teams that can sign International youngsters for next period? If so, Sox should spend a LOT then. Although I wouldn't complain if they went out and got this kid and EJM now It will be very interesting to see when the league decides he is eligible. If they don't make him eligible early 8 big spenders can't sign him. Cubs, Dodgers, Giants and Royals who exceeded their limits this year and Angels, D-backs, Rays, Red Sox and Yankees who got the max penalty of 2 years of not signing anyone for over $300,00 for 2 years.If they make him eligible soon as they can the Cubs Dodgers Giants and Royals will all still be eligible.

Yikes I can't wait till this thread goes back to talking hockey.

Sales 4th K tonight will be the 1000th of his career. If he makes it to 11 K's he will break the White Sox single season franchise record of 269 set by Big Ed Walsh in 1908.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Sep 22, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) Well if that doesn't sound a little weird! Why was he peeking.....oh never mind. He wasn't they were just talking about the guys who get out of the clubhouse the fastest. Anderson was saying that being in a clubhouse you see guys naked but Iguchi was gone so fast he never did see him naked.

Good spot for no. 30 Jose.

1-1 RBI hit for Eaton !

Saladino way to go !

I wonder if LaRoche pinch hits for someone.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 22, 2015 -> 05:37 PM) Sox have no reason to give up, it's still 0-0. I rather not see them on the receiving end of a perfect game. Ditto . Also want to win.

Should be a fun watch Wednesday when he starts.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 20, 2015 -> 08:23 AM) We are talking about the same Viciedo that we could not wait to get rid of just last winter, right? I take his AAA numbers with a grain of salt. If the Sox thought there was something there he would have been called up. You're talking about the same Sox management who failed to trade Samardzija.

There's the difference between Ventura and Francona. Ventura leaves a reliever in who's getting bombed and instead of taking him out and giving up perhaps 1 run and keeping the game within reach , he leaves him in to give up 3 and the lead becomes insurmountable. Francona's guy gives up a walk, a legit double, and a bloop hit and he's out of there.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 19, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Oops I commented in the game thread, didn't see this. Lindor has to win it. He's too special. But Rodon ... my gosh what a talent. He's a fixture in our rotation for 15 years if he stays healthy. I can't understand how we don't win more with Sale, Rodon, Q and a Danks who was definitely an average big league starter this year. Robin had "some" talent to work with this year. We're a little lefthanded heavy though. I'd sign a veteran starter, one of those guys who get two year deals at 6-8 mill a year and trade one of our lefties. 15 years? He'll be gone as soon as he hits free agency with Boras as his rep .

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 19, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) It's the Harry Carey syndrome. Which you just exhibited by saying Carey when it's Caray.

I don't know what good replay is if they think just because a ball goes into the glove , it's an out. Lindor couldn't have dropped the ball on the transfer because it clearly showed it rolling out of the webbing.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 08:59 AM) I have to agree. I'm not a fan of the wave, I usually just sit there and don't participate because I think it is inane. But I bring my kids, and if they want to do it, I will do it with them. If someone feels that makes me less of a fan, well, you know where you can stick it. Just enjoy being at a ball game. Yup there's a whole lot in this world to be angry about but people having fun in a wholesome way is not one of them. All you wave haters welcome to grumpy old manhood
