Rodon is a better bunter then any of our regulars.

Who had Carlos Sanchez in the first hit of the game pool?

Oh baby.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:29 PM) Plate discipline that the cubs instilled as an organization from top to bottom is one thing I really give them credit for as it mirrors Boston and New York. Obviously it is not working as well as those two have in the past but it beats the hell out of the first pitch pop out or whatever failing white Sox philosophy there is. Cubs have 100 more walks and 149 more Ks than the Sox this year.

"This is a really large plate for both pitchers" Ed Farmer.

Melky not happy.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) Rodon only threw 10 pitches too. If he can throw 12-14 pitches an inning consistently, he'll be really dangerous. Pitch count and repeating his motion will always be Carlos Rodon's problems. If he figures that out, look out Cy Young.

Every time you wonder why Sanchez is on the roster, he makes a play that Micah Johnson can only dream about.

Christopher Kamka ‏@ckamka 2m2 minutes ago Tyler Saladino is the 21st #WhiteSox starting third baseman since Joe Crede's last start at the hot corner.

I don't think Jimmy Butler has the raw ability to be any better then he is now. That isn't a knock against Jimmy, but I don't think he has anywhere near the raw ability of most of the true superstars in the game. There isn't a tool he has that just wow's you, and makes you think he could go to the next level.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 12:10 PM) I know many of you have suggested it is corresponding to our pitching roster moves but is there any chance this is a move ahead of a trade that is about to be done? Anything is possible. I wouldn't want to be in Rick's shoes right now trying to make the decisions, that is for sure.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) That's true. However, Bonifacio never plays, so what's the point of having him on the team? There's no reason to have a guy rotting away on the bench when they never play. With the roster make up that we have, plus knowing we have three pitchers on rehab assignments, I have complete faith that this move is a test drive to see if Saladino can replace Bonifacio once any of the pitchers are ready to come back.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) Maybe, but I am starting to get the feeling Gillapsie is next. They obviously don't like to put him in the field anymore. At least Bonifacio can PR. Not that I think Connor is on great footing or anything, but EB has just disappeared into the void of the bench.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 11:54 AM) Also, for those who didn't see it. Jimmy's agent had a few interesting quotes yesterday that would seem to dispell notion that any feud between Rose / Butler would be mega. I think this is basically a, they aren't best friends, but they absolutely respect each other and largely get along, however, they still encounter the ocassional frustration and are still learning to play with each other. Reality is it takes time, especially given that Butler was emerging into a more ball dominant player this year so any off-season practice and initial game plans had to be altered as well. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baske...0708-story.html It looks more and more like the Sun Times group were just making stuff up... again. Then the Score groups started parroting it to create controversy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 11:47 AM) I heard that, problem is I don't know what that means. How does "off the bat velocity" translate to production? He's got that inside out swing to take the ball to RF, does that lead to a higher off-the-bat velocity? To me it would tell me that high velocity off of the bat = line drives.

QUOTE (bjm676 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) @ChiTribKane 10m10 minutes ago Also, Nate Jones begins rehab assignment with Class A Winston-Salem. Depending on how long he needs, my guess would be he returns and one of Beckham/Bonifacio/Saladino departs. More and more I get the feeling that Bonifacio is next.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 11:53 AM) Hahn really whiffed on EB. Bonficio is the one who whiffed. Repeatedly.

As of today our 4th starter would be Carlos Rodon. I'll match him up with most anyone's #4, and not feel bad about it.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 08:20 AM) The unfortunate part of this team having been so bad this year is the fact that with this rotation we would be more than capable of winning in October. Absolute truth.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 10:53 PM) Great post, southsider. That's what I was hoping I could say in my rebuttals but couldn't think of how to word it correctly. Denial! Southsider hit it out of the park. That wasn't a compliment for you. You are in complete denial of what the situation was surrounding Mark Buehrle's last year in Chicago and his subsequent departure for Miami. None of what you said reflects any sort of reality on the ground while this was going on. It is all revisionist history.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 08:18 AM) At which minor league level does the Rule 5 clock start to tick? Looks like Myles Jaye may be Rule 5 this year. He's having a nice rebound season. As for Ynoa, he gives up a hit an inning, strikes out a hitter per inning, and walks a batter every other inning. but he hasn't given up a homer yet. Too bad his Rule 5 eligible because he's not someone I would give up. It has to do with years after signing/drafting, not level in the minors.

All this does is allow the people who profit from racism on both sides to continue doing so, because people like this create more racism then they solve.
