Need more runs to win this .

The fan yelling " strike him out throw him out" got his wish.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) He's the lone good hitter in our lineup by a huge margin. True but last year he was better than good.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) This game is winnable. Now you are going to see how average to lousy our bullpen really is. They're actually much better at home. Suck on the road though.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:36 PM) Why does Eaton insist on hitting first base like that? injury waiting to happen Looks to me like he's trying to get to 1st quicker by hitting the front part of the base instead landing directly on top of it. If that's the case it's good base running.

Where's last years model of Abreu ?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:26 PM) I kept thinking Conor should PH there but maybe Beckham would prove me wrong . Nope. If that was Liam Hendricks pitching a quick check of the stats showed LH hitting .290 against him and RH . 171 . I blame Robin again . At least force the other manager to make a decision .

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 06:45 PM) You have to be awake to make moves. I wonder if Robin is even aware of the home/road splits in the relief pitching.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 06:42 PM) I REALLY hope Danks invested the money from this contract, well, for his future's sake. Do you really have to invest when you bank $45M ?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) Avi seriously sucks Must be a cloudy sky . Visibility poor picking up the ball since we saw what happened with a good fielder like Pillar. Danks should have been pulled after the lead off double or after he intentionally should have walked Donaldson with 1st base open . Yes blaming Robin. Our relief pitches have been pretty good at home . Use them.

Sox now lead the AL with 2 catchers interferences.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 7, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) DH Soto or something.... This team is so GD frustrating... this offense is just god awful. In other news... the deck chairs are being rearranged on the Titanic.

Wasn't Osuna lights out statistically against leffties ? If so Robinn PH 2 lefties was playing right into his strength. Eh not much to go on LH .164 RH .200

Everybody put on your rally caps.

Abreu

That's one thing you'll never hear me say it that's there's no effort . Yes I will say they have no shot at the playoffs and they have underachieved but never that they don't care. I'm in no position to judge their desire no matter what you might think you see on TVduring the game. There's just so much more that goes on we never see as you so eloquently pointed out.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 07:11 PM) Are the Sox getting good? Are they going to get me to believe? Can they win 15 out of 20 and make a little noise? If by good you mean setting a franchise record for most consecutive home games with 4 runs or less scored (23) then yes they are awesome.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 07:18 PM) Very disappointing number. But playoff atmosphere nonetheless. Crowd was great. I agree pretty disappointing. But so was the number of pages in the game thread. People just don't show up for teams that are bad even if all they have to do is open their laptop. Papa John won't bother with the score 5 runs promotion next year.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) The way I understood it was the Yankees were referring to Hamels and Cueto according to this quote from mlbtraderumors. From that same piece, Marchand also notes that the Yankees aren't likely to obtain an ace starter like Johnny Cueto or Cole Hamels "unless prices drop significantly." Imo, the Yankees are very much interested though I have not seen anything directly related to Samardzija. I'm sure the Yankees are interested but if they think they can dictate the price well you come right back at them with thsi team offered us so and so for him. You must top that. Especially if it's team in the Yankees division.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 07:31 PM) 23rd consecutive home game the White Sox have scored 4 runs or less. A team record. Viciedo for Melky please. Melky is only hitting .558 vs. Buehrle lifetime accordimg to our Chuck. The game definitely lived up to the hype. Not enough ks for Sale but I am sure he would rather have the win. If Sale never struck out another batter but the team won all his starts you know damn sure he'd take the wins.

That's what the Sox have been missing all season, an extra base hit with 2 runners on.

Um shouldn't Sanchez be pinch hit for at this point in the game ?

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) Some in the past have brought up the angle that trading all the free agents you just signed would give the organization a bad look for future free agents. I don't know how much of an effect that might have, but it is something to consider. Might or might not have some effect. But I don't think so. Money talks for free agents for the most part . Plus they traded for Shark and I'm only advocating him and LaRoche as strong possibilities to be moved . Robertson not so much or Melky unless they think the deals are too good to pass up. Duke is also a candidate to be moved because Albers and Jennings will be back soon with Nate Jones also a possibility and Jesses Crain as a longshot possibility and possible Sept. call up of Montas or Rodon moved to the pen if he approaches his innings limit. But realistically I'd be shocked if the Sox didnt trade at least one of those guys. Shark highest on the list.
