Have you watched the Sox bullpen. Lopez would be a welcome addition even for a month.

Boys this maybe the last gane I watch this year. bullpen is just brutal

Can I say I love Oscar Colas. I know he has not played great this season but he gets so happy when he gets a hit. I think he genuinely wants to be a good player.

I agree it was the low strikeout numbers. Never really deleloped an out pitch. Additionally, He was hitting like 96 when they drafted him and by the end of his time with the White Sox he was 91-92. Velocity really backed up on him.

I think Rick Hahn deserved to get fired. However, I feel bad for him. He seemed to be underminded by his bosses all of the time. Didnt want to Hire Larussa Wanted to Pay Bryce Harper to come here Had the trade to the Marlins axed of sending TA to Marlins. Kenny stepped in and swapped out with Burger at the last minute.

Anticipate having somebody in place by the end of the season.... Sounds like Jerry has somebody in mind because that is awfully quick.

Wow! So those interviews didnt go exactly well...

Luis pimped that one pretty good. I don’t mind it but some pitchers may take offense

I am sure Bud Selig after he told him was like " Bro, you just swindled millions of tax player dollars and you are hurt about a player being pissed that you traded him after one year of the deal, Get The f*** Out of Here"

We are going Center Field- Colas, Right Field-Sheets. Anybody catch how far Andrus had to rave to catch that ball in shall right. Keep it on the ground tonight

Sorry- My man. Thanks for doing it properly

Scholtens strikes out the side primarily using fastball/slider combination

Scholtens against Woodruff Leggo

Damn- Birmingham rained out.

The walks just kill me. Between not taking any and giving out so many. Doesn't take much analytics to figure out that if you are in the top half of issuing and bottom half taking you will be unsuccessful as a team. If the White Sox do hold SoxFest this year. This is the number #1 question I want answered. What are you going to do as an organization to address the fact your walk differential alone makes you unable to make the postseason. At this point, its an organizational problem.

Agreed. I think he gets knocked because he is older but has down well at every level so far. Fangraphs did an update as well. Its so interesting some of their takes are way far off of Law and MLB. For example, Korey Lee made there top 80 however Schultz did not. Ramos made their list and is in the top 50 ( they have always been high on him). Edgar Quero is getting love from all of the publications which is nice. Lets hope some kind of combination of Hackenberg, Lee and Quero can be an above average catcher combination for the next 6-7 years. All of the publications are really high on this draft compared to others.

You know it took me a second but it was AJ Reed. Remember that guy.

Ramos smashed the ball to right field but caught a foot before the track.. Seems to have real power.

You know its a rebuilding when you start taking everyone's former prospect. Who was that first baseman from the Astros that everybody on the board got excited about but then sucked for us just like he did for the Astros? I know everybody says the rotation is a need but I think the Sox will go into next year with Scholtens and Touki which just leaves one spot on paper. That leaves some huge questions marks but it really depends on how those guys throw the rest of the year. SP Cease SP Scholtens SP Kopech SP Touki SP ?/ Clevinger? Right Fielder: I would presume would be Colas 2nd Base: Who cares the Sox clearly never have Catcher: Some combination of the young guys. And Boom! So lets do what we do best and get a recovering pitcher for the 5th starter and spend the rest of the remaining money on the bullpen.

Colas however does seem to want it. You do see him always busting his ass down the line, clearly gets upset when he doesnt perform in a good spot and even Grifol said he comes to him for hitting advice. I really like Oscar. He showed the ability to drive the ball in the minors. My hope is that he makes the necessary adjustments to show the power he had in the minors. He seems to have a hard time covering the outer portion of the plate.

For a guy in Hahn who at best has always been MR. PR its puzzling to take this approach of " we traded the problem". Nobody in hell would buy that. Just be honest, " Look we have a terribly disappointing year and nobody feels good about that. Some of the stories that have come out are true. Its always he easy to say you have good culture when you win but its more difficult when things don't go to plan. We are going to take the time to improve our overall team culture and how we go about business. We want to end this season on high note with not only play good quality baseball but going about it the right way". Thats it.

f*** this. He got up and pointed in Tim’s face a half inch away. What do you want him to do?

They got a bajillion position player prospects. To me its surprising that these two organizations couldn't get together to make a trade. Maybe the White Sox were demanding Jackson Holliday which I would not put in a trade as well. But they could have offered 3 top 100 position prospects and only put a dent in their farm system. Who knows..

I know Grandel the last two years has been disappointing however is the guy an asshole or something? Or just people put there frustrations out on him because he is a Hahn signing.

Additionally, I would rate Baltimores deadline in F. Who are they even picking up in the offseason to help them pitch?
