Daryl Van Schouwen‏Verified account @CST_soxvan 13m13 minutes ago Carlos Rodon has faced 81 consecutive batters without a walk, longest streak by a #WhiteSox since Miguel Gonzalez' 97 in row from 9/16-4/17.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 02:12 PM) If I remember correctly, wasn't it Bevington who signaled to the bullpen for a pitching change but didn't have anybody warming up? I was a this game sitting in RF. It was before they remodeled the stadium, so the seats still had a perfect view of the perfectly inactive bullpen in LF of the White Sox. I will never forget the bullpen door opening and the bullpen catcher coming out and putting him arms up in a WTF do you want manner. It was awful. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/847238-...g-blunders-ever

QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 01:29 PM) And, it was still the new evaluators that got us Basabe and Diaz as part of the Sale trade. As good a prospect as Kopech is, he is not enough to justify trading Sale. We should have received 4 legitimate prospects, not just two. It did not take long to realize that it is Moncada and Kopech for Sale. And, it was the new evaluators that gave us the Shields/Tatis trade. Good to know that Basabe and Diaz will never be good again.

No one claimed Gio Stanton Jon Morosi‏Verified account @jonmorosi 38m38 minutes ago Money remains an issue with Stanton. If teams were comfortable with entire $295M obligation after this year, he would've been claimed. @MLB

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) Not quite as much as the inevitability of a useless throw away comment by yourself when you have nothing of value to add to the conversation. This has never slowed you a bit. See also your previous post which you have made about 2300 times.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) I agree there is no real differences between D and R outside some social shenanigans, but Trump is in a class of his own. Trump is his own planet.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 12:28 PM) So this Zeke Elliott stuff is gonna be interesting, somebody is gonna end up looking bad. https://twitter.com/stacy_elliott/status/897105870424870913 https://twitter.com/NFLprguy/status/897863415313698816 Typically when you get a victim who suddenly changes their story and starts backtracking like this, it is usually witness intimidation... I have to imagine it is worse the case where your attacker is world famous.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 11:06 AM) I think it's mostly the latter. Literally no one is pointing out major swing flaws from him, and his contact/HR/Fly ball rates were all screwy in the first half. Dude was on a 70 homer pace in the first half. He is getting back to the norm.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 11:46 AM) Ah, splendid! Another plan. It's always so very comforting knowing these two have a "plan" that they are executing. Now they have this "5 year plan" they're involved in, which is not to be confused with the "3 year plan" they informed us all about in 2015... https://www.google.com/amp/chicago.cbslocal...y-williams/amp/ ...for which if you do the math, we're wrapping up Year 3 of THAT plan as we speak. How'd that one turn out? No, forgive those skeptical of this duo's ability to successfully carry out a plan until we finally see what all of their plans over their 17 years of trying their hand at this have failed to achieve: SUSTAINABLE WINNING.i This was as inevitable as the Trump backtrack on Charlottesville.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 11:07 AM) Robin Ventura was not a good manager, but within the last 30 years, I don't know that you'll find anyone worse than Bevington. He is one of the worst managers in the majors in that time. 100% this. He was the worst tactician I can remember AND he was awful with people.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 11:05 AM) I thought JR doesn't own the team and if he sold his stake it would not result in new ownership. Am I mistaken. I wonder if at some point KW becomes Chairman and President with Hahn taking over all baseball operations. White Sox yes, Bulls no. JR is a minority owner, and supposedly not even the biggest one of the ownership group when it comes to the White Sox.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 10:56 AM) Maybe it because I truly fail to grasp how right wing policies benefit anyone other those who are independently wealthy and GOP politicians. I understand that they protecting their own interests, but ofher than that, i just dont see it. I see the same thing happen on the left such as when workers in unions for things like steel and autos vote for people who want to bankrupt their companies with higher environmental regulations and free trade agreements that would send their jobs overseas to workers getting pennies on the dollar. The reason you see this is because no person is fully represented by one party. It isn't a buffet where you can pick and choose your candidates positions one by one. It is more like your cable company where your options are Bundle A or Bundle B, even though you hate 90% of the channels in each bundle.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) I always loved Ozzie...but his act was really starting to wear pretty thin. I don't blame JR for taking this stance...plus...I don't think I'd let Oz anywhere near a young team starting to mold...besides being the obvious fact of a possible PR nightmare at any given moment. Before hindsight takes place, Ozzie basically turned thing into a "me or him" situation with his contract ultimatum, full well knowing that JR doesn't condone the renegotiation of contracts. If he didn't do it for Jordan, he wasn't going to do it for Ozzie. At that point, the relationship was done for Ozzie as a manager of the White Sox.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 05:19 AM) He'd actually have the guys who have speed steal bases that's for sure. And bunt.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 09:22 AM) If I had guessed prior to this I would have imagined them getting a crap ton more. That thing has been a straight up cash cow in a time when people are paying a ton of money for content and are waiting for the returns. But, hope the sox put that $50 million into getting these prospects as good as possible. It is a 1250% ROI. I'd be cool with that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 10:19 PM) Can't fire him until 2021, he's got that long. Better be in the series that year. Once you let this group start down the road you are kind of married to them for a while. The one surprising part about this is that this would seem to mean that Kenny gave up his chase for a Presidency, or there was a promise made to him. Either way, interesting.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 01:04 AM) The huge issue is that every negative quality that one group of people say about another group of people whom they want to oppress and denigrate, are projections about their own behavior that they are embarrassed about. When the right winger says: Welfare queens take advantage of the system and are lazy and don't want to work They mean: 1. I don't pay my fair share of taxes nor do I give to charity to help the needy, and I don't want to. 2. I have a safe, secure job and I really don't do anything there but the bare minimum to stay employed. Every day I go to work I steal from my company. I am the lazy one. If I point the finger at someone who doesn't have the job opportunities to live comfortably like I do, then it makes me feel better about stealing time from my employer, and not paying my taxes. When the right winger says: The problem isn't the police officers beating minorities, it is that people think that the rules don't apply to them, and they are an entitled brats who have no respect for authority They mean: I think the rules don't apply to me. I don't like minorities. I think they are subhuman. I am above the law. I have enough money to make any problem I have legally, go away. I can just pay a lawyer to get me off the hook. I am the entitled brat. I just have to blame it on somebody else to make me feel better about my taking advantage of the system due to having a large paycheck. When the right winger says: Being gay is a choice. High functioning autism is a con made by people who don't want to work, and are too mentally weak to handle real life. They mean: These people make me uncomfortable. I don't want to deal with them, because they are different. I think they are disgusting because they have sex with people of the same gender or have trouble with social boundaries/personal hygiene. I choose to be closed minded, I am too mentally weak to handle it. I lack the critical thinking skills to come to the conclusion that these things are real issues. Why would anyone choose to behave in this manner, when it is very out of the ordinary? Life is hard enough. Why would someone add this burden to it? When the right winger says: If I have to raise wages, then there will be less jobs They mean: I am a greedy SOB. I don't want to pay people a living wage, because my standard of living will change marginally and that is too uncomfortable. Maybe I can't afford that new yacht on the Lake every 5 years. Now I have to wait 8. I don't care. I want it now, because I am a whiny, entitled petulant child. This is my I am skirting the responsibility of paying my employees fairly and giving people what they need to live comfortably or survive. Not only will I not pay them, I will not give them the tools necessary to succeed at the goals I've set for them. This way I can continue to lower their pay, because my company is doing barely well enough to stay in business, and I want all of it. It is MINE. You can't have more than x amount, even though you've done all of the work, and I've been out at the country club all week. I have more of these that I will post later. And this is why the "right winger" votes for Donald Trump, as this is the left's public view of anyone to the left of Hillary Clinton.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 06:55 AM) Yea I'm worried. He looks dreadful. And now you know why this is isn't going to be a .500 team next year. Expecting day one success from all of these guys is lunacy.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 07:40 PM) Giolito has an entire arsenal of plus pitches. Lopez doesn't. Personally I would put Hansen ahead of all but Kopech.

QUOTE (Donaldo @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 07:42 PM) Who will take their place on the W-S roster? There are plenty of choices at Kannapolis. You could see a Micker Adolfo for one, another option would be Rutherford. Maybe Casey Schroeder for Catcher? There is a jam of catchers at the Rookie ball level that could move up to Kanny.

This is a great read at what it is now taking to be a player for the July 2 market. Baseball America‏Verified account @BaseballAmerica 1h1 hour ago MLB teams can sign international players at 16. But in reality, their focus has shifted toward even younger players. http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...pyPfY7m0seZz.97
