QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 01:39 PM) The names of the states were what was classified. The information of the depth of the attacks? The memo about the attacks was classified. What Werner said went way beyond that.

QUOTE (JoeCredeYes @ May 31, 2017 -> 09:02 PM) I'll miss Hawk. We all know it's time, but I chose to remember the good days. Fond memories of yesteryear, asking my Dad what the heck a cat-bird seat was, what the heck a can-of-corn had to do with a baseball game. I'll miss his candor. The number of guys that can actually get away with saying what they feel in our social justice warrior era can be counted on a couple hands at best. I'll miss his enthusiasm. Hawk has been the voice of my baseball team for as far back as my memory goes, and I think growing up listening to a guy live and die on every pitch in a game where essentially nothing ever happens, made me feel like it was important, like that's how I should feel about baseball, and it worked. He put everything he had in to this gig for a long time, and as corny as it sounds you can't argue with the passion he brought to the mic day in and day out. I'm glad I got to grow up listening to his stories of legends I couldn't pull up youtube videos of at my fingertips. I feel bad for the kids today that will never get to experience that. Sure, the Grandpa campfire story magical feeling waned as I grew older, but I'd still take a tall tale from the Hawk I've heard 100 times over Benetti telling me what his Mom put in his lunchbox. Love em, hate em, somewhere in between, hats off to a legend, the end of an era, this Sox fan will always cherish the memories. Thanks Hawk

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 12:00 PM) No Micker? I suppose he's cooled off a bit lately. It took him a while to get hot too. He had a .592 OPS in April, and .916 in May.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 11:00 AM) Definitely something to keep in mind when thinking about the Sox supposed interest in Jeren Kendall. To be fair, for everyone who wants to look at Courtney Hawkins, it would be just as easy to look at Tim Anderson.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 10:58 AM) Does any of it matter? In the 21st century? Not really. If you are aligned with a political party, you know you have a minimum of 35 to 40% of the country that will make excuses for you, no matter what. Party has become more important than honest, integrity or anything else to the vast majority of voters.

It is worth a shot. The guy is about that close to release.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) Yup, totally agree. Just unlikely to get that offer until he demonstrates that type of ability over a full season. The odds today are near zero of that happening. He has to come back and pitch near his potential for that to even have a chance.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 07:54 AM) I think you have to be open to trading him if he won't consider an extension, but you need to wait until he establishes himself as a legit TOR starter and one capable of being that over the course of the full season. We still have control over him for another four seasons, so there's absolutely no reason to rush into trading him. His value can still expotentially improve with one dominant season. If you get an offer for a #1 or 2 starter for Rodon, you move him. If not, you move forward with him.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 04:16 PM) I think the lack of quality starts has been an issue with this team since opening day. Too many 4-5,inning efforts. But, generally the relief guys seem limited to one inning and I just don't think that is overworking someone. But that's just me Lack of quality starts tends to happen when you lack healthy and quality starters.

You gotta love Boston. CSN New EnglandVerified account @CSNNE Chris Sale has a 4.70 ERA over his last 6 starts. Are you still confident in him as an ace?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 01:59 PM) Clay Hall‏ @claywsyx6 Follow More Insider says OSU wish list includes: Brad Stevens, Tony Bennett, Jay Wright, Sean Miller & Billy Donovan. I know that OSU has more money than almost every athletic department in the country, but LOL. My wish includes a winning powerball ticket. I wonder who has better odds?

The Sox need healthy arms badly right now. Their bullpen is just toast right now with the fall off in quality starts as of late.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 11:39 AM) 4/11: Robertson had pitched an inning two days prior, 4/9. Swarzak was fresh and unused all season. Kahnle had pitched an inning on 4/6 and another on 4/7, so he was fresh too. Ynoa had pitched two innings on 4/6. Yeah, I'm standing by this one, all three of those guys were viable. 5/16: Robertson had pitched an inning on 5/11 and 5/13. Swarzak pitched 1.2 innings on 5/13 and 1.1 innings on 5/15. Ynoa had pitched 2 innings on 5/12 and 1 inning on 5/14. Theoretically, he should've been good to go. Holmberg had pitched 0.2 innings on 5/12 and 1 inning on 5/14. Probably was available as well. For this game, the only viable options were Ynoa and Holmberg, and I think we could've used one of them before going to Robertson. On April 11th all three of Kahnle, Ynoa, and Swarzak still hadn't proven they could be trusted at all and were basically considered garbage pitchers based on their previous seasons.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 11:29 AM) Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Source: RHP Bobby Parnell to #WhiteSox on minor-league deal. Lord knows we need some fresh arms desperately.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) April 11 was the sixth game of the year. Robertson had pitched once. You don't know when the next save situation will be, the guy has to get some work. It was a tie game in the 9th, that's as high leverage as it gets too. Looking backwards in the May situation, Robertson hadn't pitched since the 13th. The Sox were also without Putnam, Jones, and Petricka by that point. All other relievers except Ynoa had pitched at least twice in the span of the 13th to the 15th.
