QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) Sale sure is looking rusty Head case.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 04:58 PM) Beginning to think the only deal we make is trading Robertson since they seem to be pushing him according to that article posted in the Robertson thread. It better not be a salary dump. They should be able to get some good value from a contender for an established closer with a couple of years of control.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) Here's hoping we see Sale go 8 IP 1 ER 8K's - shut those losers down. Here's hoping the Sox score some runs.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 04:38 PM) Well no s***. Anytime you trade for prospects of course your mlb team is going to be worse lol I was talking about the organization as a whole. Those moves make the current MLB roster worse and do nothing to help them be better in the next few years either. You're not going to rebuild with mid-level prospects, most of which will probably never turn out to be good major leaguers.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 11:59 AM) I think Hahn will trade to save face. Some possiblities 1. Frazier or Melky not both--get back 2 mid-level prospects 2. Duke-gets a mid-level prospect 3. Miggy and 5th slot is juggled rest of year.-- high mid-level prospect since SP pitching seems a hot commodity. 4. If Robertson does go, I am afraid it will be mostly money and a couple of low prospects. Those moves don't make the Sox any better and more likely worse.

Sudden Sam McDowell once broke his ribs from throwing too hard. Just sayin'.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 08:41 PM) Yep, anytime you score 1 rub on a homer by your pitcher, you really have to blame the game on the manager because you know the bullpen even though they aren't doing the job, would have if they came in one hitter sooner.

Well this sucks.

WTF was that strike 1 call on Melky??? At least 6" outside!

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) Can't wait for Sale to shut these bastards down tomorrow. Don't count on it.

Regardless, Renaudo pitched a great game tonight. Sox need to come back and win this.

Crap.

RANAUDO!!!

Nice steal. Drive him in, Melky.

Hit for Tim. Time for the Melk Man to deliver.

Help your cause here, Anthony.

Nice inning!

Who would've thought a Sox/Cubs gamethread would be so dead?

He's safe by a mile.

Here comes a Dioner bomb.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) Some butterflies I hope, keep the groundouts coming and you'll be fine ranaudo Score some runs for him so he can relax a little. Good start base hit by Todd.

Ranaudo gets out of it.

I have a hunch Renaudo is going to give them five or six ugly innings but keep them in the game.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 06:19 PM) Jose got up 3-0 then got worked. Looking for six strong innings from Ranaudo, as I am a greedy person. Took a straight 93mph fastball right down the middle of the plate on 3-0. Then he strikes out.
