Despite the fact that he pitched over it, Nate Jones's balk is the best representation of our season thus far

An inning or two out of Troncoso would be highway robbery.

Domonic Brown runs like it hurts

Jones draft day scouting report: Where'd the rest come from? Not many guys throw 88 as a 21 year old and 98+ just a few years later

NATES JONE SO CLUTCH

Extremely well-pitched AB. Believed in his offspeed.

If Jones gets out of this, I have no idea how I should feel

It's insane how often Dayan's arm has affected games recently.

Big out - Dayan's arm pays off. Walk Nix, try for a double play

LOL WTF WAS THAT

Fitting that both hits were within inches of infielder's gloves

It's bulls*** that they very well may be the only team to bat with the benefit of these terrible conditions

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 04:55 PM) Nate Robinson drawing interest from the nuggets, return to the Bulls "unlikely to the extreme" It's interesting to me that that is the reason. On one hand, it's perfectly obvious why Thibs wouldn't like him. On the other hand, he coached him in Boston and it seemed like he was part of the reason that Nate got his opportunity here. I just started to assume that Thibs really liked him for what he is. He doesn't fit so well here now that Derrick is back, though; that'd be it for any chance of playing time for Teague.

Manto's arrival coincided with resurgences from Dunn, Rios, and now Gordon. The biggest disappointment, offensively, has been PK - but we can chalk that up to age. Dayan is probably the main guy who we'd like to see Manto "save" - and if he does, Manto will have a job here for quite a while.

So who do we think missed the sign?

Great catch.

Look at this bastard.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 03:20 PM) How funny is it that Beckham might be our best trade rebuilding chip right now?

We keep saying so-and-so is a 3/4/5 on a mythical "good" team. The John Danks of 2008-2011 is not as poor as 3 on many teams, including some good ones. What we have now is to be seen, but I'm extremely encouraged.

Nice hard-hit ball by Beckham.

Single. WEAKKKK

I'd have Gordon 2, Viciedo 3, and Dunn 4 if the right trades are made. I'd then just hope it works.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 01:35 PM) Merlin just retweeted someone from MLB.com that handles the prospects saying Jacobs will be ranked 7th in Sox farm system

I hope his BA falls, his BB% rises, and his power rises. He should still be an .850 OPS player in that case. Hard not to be encouraged, but he's far from a sure thing. On the other hand, it wouldn't be the first time that at a 25-year-old just happens to "find it." If so, we're lucky he didn't "find it" on someone else's team.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 01:06 PM) I don't think that package brings you back one of those pitchers though. I agree. Wong, Martinez, and Wacha sounds like the majority of the return for Chris Sale, not Alexei/Thornton
