God forbid they'd go out of house to find a replacement...

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) Granted the pitching failed this series but LaRoche and Avi are f***ing terrible ball players. Avi needs a slumpbuster and another winter ball season and then 500 more PA then they can give up on him. Sucks they can't afford to carry a replacement level Avi but is what it is too many holes elsewhere.

That Shark trade is probably pissing everyone off. The A's turned Russell into Semien, Phegley and Bassit and the Sox turned Semien, Bassit and Phegley into a 2 WAR rental in a non competing year. Christ on a cookie.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 06:34 PM) Too bad Hahn thought Avi was more talented than Iglesias. Sox could have had Iglesias at SS and either sold high on Alexei or put him back in the OF where he would still be better than Avi. Avi screams "KW"

jesus can you tone that sig? maybe a little smaller at least... Danks just hit 93 on the YES gun, are you kidding me...good job Melky spreading the vitamins.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:04 PM) He's trying to salvage what he can. Otherwise his resume so far would look fairly awful. Hahn's resume looks mediocre? He's taken an awful team and made them mediocre in 2 years. That's harder than it looks when the main farm additions are Carlos Sanchez and Carlos Rodon. You know who's resume looks awful... the guy... that would be KW.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:03 PM) Maybe the most disappointing thing of the last 6 weeks or so was Hahn seemingly not trying to unload LaRoche on the Cards or Pirates. It's pretty obvious LaRoche is a terrible fit here. Yes, and everyone knows it. Low ball offers were probably all he got. If you're not getting anything worthwhile back and STILL picking up a large chunk of his salary, then f*** it. My problem is that he continues to play so damn much but whatever we all know my feelings on RV.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) There's just something about Saladino I like seems you can never tell how a prospect will handle the strikezone at the MLB level until they get up but the kid has a talent for working counts and not getting himself out.

Eaton is turning into an OBP monster again. He's got it up to .340 now and I wouldn't be suprised to see him finish around .360. What an acquisition by Hahn looks like he's gonna finish around 3 WAR again.

ok get this last out and rain, rain, rain, rain.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) I feel like we've been over why Soto can't DH many times. why because of something that might happen one out of 120 games? Nah. It's time to get the best hitters into the game.

he's left so many 78 mph fastballs over the middle and up, come on sit fastball and drive it.

flowers come on man soto should be dhing tonight...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 07:39 PM) Not much drama early tonight with the Twins leading Sea 5-2 in the 1st, Tigers over Orioles and Jays over Royals big.... Ackley to the Yankees for two AAers. Might supplant Drew at 2B? Or more likely bench guy. Seattle wtf man. What a s*** season.

lol, thanks sawx

wow, the last 3 games the White Sox broke the record for most xbh in 3 consecutive games against the Red Sox in all time. That is crazy.

lol that is the same swing Flowers will use in 20 years in the beer league.

this ump is giving 3 inches on both sides you'd think that would favor sale as time goes on.

both shuck and laroche caught it just off the end of the bat.

sox should try and just sit on his fastball he can't command it for s***.

this bum has a pretty good knuckler tonight actually

perfect motion 10 mph slower changeup right at the bottom of the zone. video game easy mode at times.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 07:09 PM) Man I thought LaRoche killed it melky needs to share his vitamins.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) Meteorologist Harrelson told me the rain should stop after the initial passthrough that caused the delay. I don't know what to believe now. sons of sam horn said there might be more delays, fwiw, rain could be heavy at times according to the bean towners.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 06:33 PM) About the only thing you can say is that he was coming into the season with a full year to get back his health and also joining a team filled with a core of players where he wasn't expected to be anything but a complementary piece. That and the fact that joining one of the better teams in either league tends to bring out the best in a player, like when seemingly any journeyman joined the Twins a decade ago, or the Cardinals/Giants/Yankees, etc. I certainly think there is something to that. In a good lineup, there's much less pressure in any given at bat and everyone loves hitting with runners on.
