QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 11:10 AM) I feel like I've seen just as many calls either changed or confirmed wrong with instant replay. I don't think the calls are more right at all. If anything, the calls they seem to be changing often are the neighborhood play calls. Do you really want those enforced? to be honest, the neighborhood play was getting beyond ridiculous. That doesnt bother me at all, guys were being called out when the defender wasnt within 3 steps of the bag

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 10:58 AM) Be prepared then for several more years of living in the depths of the AL Central Why, because Beckham is elevating the Sox above it?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 10:22 AM) The guy has pretty much hit or exceeded all of these predictions... at the All-Star break. Considering the contract that Miguel Cabrera has, Jose Abreu has to be joining Chris Sale as the biggest bargains in baseball. The crazy thing is that the mocking predictions have more or less become realistic.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 10:17 AM) I'd like to hear Tyler's take on hitting. That would be gold. 4 posts in. Took longer than i expected

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 09:12 AM) I don't think it was about disagreeing with his politics, I think it was just him being so outspoken was becoming a "distraction" in their eyes. He plays one of the least important positions. He was getting older, his salary was increasing, which made him much easier to replace for football reasons. As he challenged politicans and spoke to every media outlet and was loud on social media, I think the team just said, enough, you are a punter, stop bringing all this extra attention to the team. We will bring someone in at half the salary and at least 90% of the production and they will be much quieter. And all of this is fine, this sort of thing happens, players get cut for being distractions and declining skills. The Priefer stuff is what is wrong and unnacceptable, though.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 26, 2014 -> 07:55 AM) I still like my prediction . Optimistic about when the weather heats up tempered with the length of the season compared to the Cuban league. still like it?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 08:16 AM) yes, but when you take into account the number of games played, the age of the player, and the trend lines. Which would you like more, a guy who plays 25 minutes for 50 games and is very effective or a guy who is a solid player who gives you 35/80? There is a lot more to his PT than just injuries. D'Antonio refused to play him correctly and tried to make him into a midrange shooter, and sat him a lot due to him not fitting into the system. I think Pau has plenty left in the tank. He isnt the same Pau that won championships with the Lakers, but he hasnt had that far of a drop off.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 07:46 AM) If everything went right with one of those guys then I'd prefer them to Love. But...the reason why Love stands out is that as of recent years, things have gone wrong with those guys that haven't gone wrong for Love. Fair statement? Well, to be fair, 4th quarters and playoffs have not gone right for Love. Love is an odd case, he is tremendously talented of course, but he hasnt shown that he can raise the level of play around him. There was a lot of talk of stat padding this offseason. But it is hard to tell because of the team around him. I want to see him on a playoff chasing team. Just, not Cleveland.

I like knowing it is the Hornets as opposed to Bobcats. The Bobcats looked and sounded like a college team

Lol. More like you spent a lot of time copying and pasting. Jeez

Bulls have offered Bairstow a contract http://www.sportando.com/m/en/usa/nba/1275...n-bairstow.html

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 10:28 PM) Oh relax. It's a f***ing ASG. Not the World Series It decides home field advantage FOR the World Series. Kind of a big deal

Are we really all surprised that this game was rigged for Jeter? Lol

Boozer officially amnestied per Sam Smith

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) Fixed. appropriately

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Cleveland will surely budge on Wiggins. There's just no reason to do so right now. Might as well play chicken. I kind of hope they do. I think Lebron paired with Wiggins for a long time is a lot scarier than Love. Love will give that instant boost, but Wiggins will be better in the long run

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) They kind of are. 3.77 K/9? Yikes. He was always more of a groundball pitcher than a K pitcher

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 11:58 AM) Sounds like he's fine. Just good selling on his part. He fooled me a few months ago on a similar move, but I dont remember the refs throwing up the X on it, just that he acted the part. The ref X is worrisome, because that is something the wrestler usually confirms to the ref

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 11:57 AM) Well that changes things, but why go that cheap on the #1 overall pick? He still agreed to sign way below slot. There is a piece to this whole puzzle that is missing.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 08:48 AM) I'm assuming that Fox is overreacting to the criticism/humor made of her hair in the playoffs last season. I think more along the lines of having to justify the money they have paid her, and Pam Olivers contract is up after this year.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 10:49 AM) His workload actually wasn't that high and he was supposedly taken care of and not really handled poorly. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2121883...ers-huge-upside You just never know. High School workloads arent nearly as verifiable as we would like.

Thibs defense is designed for help, it is a unit defense. As long as Mirotic follows his responsibilities he will be fine. You know he wont be requiring as much help as Boozer and Augustin did.

so wait, large high school pitching workloads are bad?
