QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 09:27 PM) He's just a bad player who had a 2 week hot stretch in AAA and the Sox brought him up. He's just one part of a 3 man race for fourth outfielder of the future. I'm okay with that

Soriano has been under fire for his OF defense for a long time, but UZR has consistently rated him good to excellent out there http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...;position=2B/OF

Tekotte struggled against righties in AAA

3-0 green light, swings at a ball. Oh well, I'm surprised Robin let him do it

Garza scared of Phegs. book it

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 09:17 PM) Nice job to get out of the jam, thanks in part to the fan. Would be nice to score some runs. You'd think the Sox one night would luck into 8-9 runs by law of averages. We did. The other team lucked into 19 that night

"Hector not afraid to pitch out of a jam" True. Also, not afraid to get into one

lol that dumbass fan knew he shouldn't touch it

QUOTE (staxx @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 09:09 PM) I agree. I think he'll be one of those borderline 100-115 if he continues to play well. Gasp. We might have close to 3 top-100s Lots of season left for that to go away (or improve? maybe? not sure who would be a candidate to work back in with an especially strong second half)

Anderson should get a look for top 100. We'll see how he finishes the year

I thought he was only packing one

There was a screwball. To Barney. Stone speechless because he doesn't know what it is.

That looks familiar

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) I'm just happy they didn't get no hit lol that is the exact thing I thought about when he hit it

WOOOOOOO

Let the record show that Hector has not thrown any screwballs today. Those are changeups, Steve Stone and Hawk

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 08:24 PM) Yeah, he's been really bad for over a month now. I have no idea why they aren't trying to spin him for a starting pitcher. As much as I'm pretty sure Theo hates Starlin, they'd really be selling low on him

I love seeing Starlin up in a big situation. You know he's going to fail. He's my favorite Cub lately

Walks are one of the less fun parts of the Hector experience

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 08:17 PM) I think I've been pretty good about not saying "I told you so" regarding Ozzie and how the next manager could be worse. I shut up about Ozzie except last year in the Marlins thread which I figured was fair game. I was mistaken. I'm just teasing Greg. You've definitely left the Ozzie subject alone

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 08:15 PM) I missed the top of the 2nd, what was the issue with Santiago/Phegley? Didn't know there was one

Right in the middle of the second at-bat, Garza walks in from the bullpen very slowly, delaying play for quite a while

what the f*** Garza?

Let's brainstorm for a new manager. Someone with some fire in his belly! Guy can't be afraid to get in people's faces. Swear words are a-okay so that we know he's into the game. He should be very animated. He must speak the language of his Spanish-speaking players. Must be a former White Sox. World Series rings preferred. Any ideas??? This is your cue, Greg

The interesting thing is how few people are using the players that should be ahead or behind him as a case for his ranking.
