All four contracts are up, could we see changes? Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 2h2 hours ago Next up for Brooks Boyer and company will be the announcers, with all four up contractually after this season

Going through one of those clickbait type of things, apparently the first two choices for Walter White in Breaking Bad were Mathew Broderick and John Cusak.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 16, 2015 -> 08:03 AM) He was walking around in a walking boot last night. I've put in requests for info, haven't heard back yet. Walking boot is usually ankle related.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 16, 2015 -> 08:55 AM) The team is 7 runs above their pythagorean win-loss, illustrating just how good the defense has been. http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2015/07/h...-into-the-race/ It is also worth pointing out that the probability percentage has about doubled over the last week/week and a half as the pitching and defense has solidified.

I feel better about it with the Bulls moving over as well.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 09:05 PM) I think you're reading too much into this. Guerra was called up and basically rotted in the bullpen for a few weeks, Beck had one spot start when Erik wasn't available (would've had to pitch on two days rest), & Montas is getting the call once again when Erik isn't an option. IMO, Johnson is clearly the guy pegged for a rotation spot. They've been monitoring his innings very closely as of late, even skipping a recent start. IMO, that tells me they're expecting/hoping the guy will be needed in the majors in the very near future. Johnson was involved in the AAA ASG. If they wanted him here, he would be here. Pitching against the team they are chasing in the division, they are looking to bring up the guys that give them the best chance to win a game, and are not worried about a AAA scrimmage game.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) Well that would seem like a poor strategy to me. You're basically giving him away then. It seems they'd be better off just continuing to stash him in hopes that things click at some point. My view is that they have reason to believe he won't be a successful major leaguer. Whether that problem is in the arm, the stuff, or between the ears, I don't know. What I do know is the team has promoted a bunch of other pitchers this year, and not Johnson. With this organization, I believe that is a sign.

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 07:19 PM) Can't. He has to wait 15 days before he can be recalled back to MLB. I believe it is 10.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) Haven't sox been super cautious with EJ last few weeks? Yeah, I don't think that is it at all. Thinking big picture, they have called up Beck, Carroll, Junior Guerra, and now Montas... but not Johnson. Call me crazy, but that means something. I wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson involved in one of these deadline deals. Just a hunch.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) What led you to this logic with a different person coming up? To be fair, this is exactly what the Sox did for the last DH.

So is Montas being called up as a free audition to replace Samardjiza soon? #conspiracy

Jeff PassanVerified account ‏@JeffPassan Frankie Montas, perhaps the second-biggest arm in baseball behind Aroldis Chapman, is expected to join White Sox for a doubleheader Friday.

A nice look at Sale, his potential trade market, and a bit of a peak behind the curtain of the White Sox front office operations. http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/chris-sal...getting-traded/

This isn't going anywhere good.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) here is my point on this site. this site i have posted, may vary in alot of ways, but it does provide a FYI kind of info. nice reading. this was based on this morning.... http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/John-Jaecke...pdate/128/69980 That pretty well reinforces the point that the Hawks were up against the wall in terms of value for its players.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 02:02 PM) Um, ok. So the Sox just get to select anyone and send them to the game if a player isnt playing? Wasnt aware that was how it works "Yeah, hi, Ned Yost? Rick Hahn here. Look, I know you wanted Chris Sale to pitch for you in the All-Star Game, but I have decided to send you Scott Carroll instead." "Hello?" "huh, the line went dead. Must be that ATT service today."

I like it so far!

Bulls Talk ‏@CSNBulls 4m4 minutes ago Report: Bulls' Jimmy Butler receives Team USA invite - http://ift.tt/1MuoRT9 #BullsTalk

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 10:55 AM) I see him having a very small chance but still a chance at getting to 4000 Ks but he has to keep up his current pace I don't see any pitcher ever pitching long enough to get to 4000 k's again.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 10:54 AM) If he continues at this pace, he'll only need 2700 or 2800 IP to get to 3000. But I get your point. Even if he pitches that long, you have to assume that at some point, his stuff will diminish. Even at 3000IP for 3000K, that assumes a K per inning, which I feel is probably high.
