QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 06:47 PM) It's to the point that 1-3 with a walk seems like a bad game Joked with a Cubs fan buddy of mine(who is a smart baseball fan) that it was his worst game with us so far. Actually might be true ha. Ps I agree with you on Blake.

What would happen if Kopech faced Eloy?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) Eloy beasting Beyond incredible right now.

You make me laugh, greg.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 09:25 AM) I get to go to another Shields start. What fun. I went to like 4 or 5 Scott Schoeneweis starts in 2004. That was fun.

This game needs more ReyLo.

QUOTE (Quin @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) Hush, Anderson32 That's some high praise. Thank you.

QUOTE (Quin @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) Bmags why That's ReyLo.

I want the first pick pretty badly but if these guys that are part of our next winning group are going to start winning us games already then I'm going to be happy about it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 09:06 AM) Is there even a precedence of NFL suspensions being reduced via appeal? I know it's standard in baseball, but don't remember it happening in football. Happens all the time.

QUOTE (ReyLo @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 09:12 AM) Yeah I can't get Ventura out of my head either when I look at him. This was a great debut but def have ammo to both sides on whether he's a long term starter or lights out no piece. His velocity maintained but his stuff took a step back after 3. That's fair. I'm guessing he was a little over amped in the first few innings and might have tired quicker than usual though. I don't think he's going to be throwing 99 and 100 most games, prolly somewhere in the 95-96 range going forward.

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 02:29 AM) he didn't look nervous at all, was good to see reminded me of the upside of Gavin Floyd I would like to hear where this comparison is coming from because there is not a single thing in his arsenal that would remind one of Gavin Floyd.

ReyLo!!!!!!

QUOTE (ReyLo @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 08:43 PM) Ross Gload He was great defensively though.

ReyLo's heater and change were nasty for a while. Hung the breaking ball a decent amount and started to hang the change later in the game. But damn, he's impressive.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 05:16 PM) Does he have a jersey listed for Family Weekend/Nicknames Day? If he does, I can't imagine it'd be anything but ReyLo

Would be a great way to start the weekend if ReyLo can have a quality start tonight.

ReyLo it is.

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 02:54 PM) We don't want to be the top farm system anymore. What we want is to be 5-10 and have our top guys in Chicago and playing well. While we sucked most of the year beyond belief having the top system got us through stage one. Now we are at the point of seeing some of these guys blossom. If we play our cards right with these next two top picks, we should have a top 5 team in baseball and a top 10 system for years to come. I say we just become the best team in baseball and have the top farm in baseball.

I'm not going to pretend to know a ton about him but looks like he has a good arm and has good numbers so what the hell.

I'll take the Sox cause it's super close and I'm biased.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 11:49 AM) I think the point here is how hypocritical the NFL is. Guy wasnt charged with anything, how does that warrant 6 games? And if he was and convicted, it should be more than a 6 games suspension. Instead a guy who was convicted of domestic violence got 4 games. Animal cruelty gets you 2 games. Drugs get you 4. With the appeal I bet it lands on 2 games, which makes the process even more of a joke. Man, he has to give up 8 million bucks too, but not being convicted or charged with anything. The NFL sucks, no one is going to argue that. Zeke also sucks so I'm not going to shed a tear for him.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 11:31 AM) The thing that sucks about that is, since some of our top prospect position players likely won't be up next year, you don't really know who is a "hole." And even if a guy or 2 do come up, a small cup of coffee at the MLB level isn't enough to know if a position is a hole or not. The good news about that is we'll get a good long look at some of the non top tier guys to see if they might be something. Guys like Gillaspie, Cordell, Engel, Delmonico and maybe if Tilson comes back from the dead should all get some good ab's to see if they're actually something. Not to mention guys like Leury and Davidson will get to try and prove that they're useful on a contending team. We'll learn a lot about a lot of guys in 2018.

Where there's smoke, there's fire with Zeke. The NFL is definitely weird with this stuff but I'm not going to cry about Zeke getting suspended.

Fulmer needs to get his arm back. I wouldn't be so worried about the results if his stuff was still there but it's not. If that stuff doesn't come back then he's just not a quality prospect.
