QUOTE (raBBit @ May 18, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) I thought the same thing about Carroll before he was called up. Who knows at this point. I would guess Beck/Drabek would be the guy. I would imagine that Noesi or Carroll would get the start, with the call up being Beck or Johnson for a stint as emergency pitcher.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ May 18, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) Not even Rongey gave Ventura credit for the turnaround. He said "the start wasn't Robin's fault" and "the turnaround wasn't Robin doing anything" during yesterday's postgame. So in that case, what is Ventura doing, from Rongey's perspective? At least he is being consistent. I can respect him for that. The ones that drive me crazy are the ones who seem to think the bad start was Ventura's fault, but the turnaround was luck or something.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 18, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) Jimmy Butler is just not that kind of guy IMO. The team quit on the coaching staff from what I saw in the game. They were fed up with running the same horrific sets into the teeth of the defense. Rose may have said the right things after the game but his performance spoke volumes. I don't even think the team quit pe se, I think they did quit believing they could win.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 18, 2015 -> 01:34 PM) Yes, but he may have to go back on the 40 due to his injury, and act like that never happened. At least that is what I read. I don't remember seeing that anywhere.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 18, 2015 -> 01:24 PM) Supposedly the spot on the 40 man is for Javy Guerra who is on the DL again, and you can't outright someone on the DL. The already put him through waivers, cleared the 40 man roster spot, and he has been reassigned to AAA. http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyba...rra-to-triple-a

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 18, 2015 -> 12:58 PM) While Dan Jennings was walking off the mound after relieving Dan Jennings, Dan Jennings also decided to designate Dan Jennings for assignment. And then Loria fired them all.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 18, 2015 -> 12:39 PM) Butler will never be the best player on a championship team though..... And neither will Derrick Rose.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 18, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) RV is like the kid that keeps getting in trouble and can't get off probation. At a certain point the kid says "stuff just keeps happening to me I don't get it" and it's up to someone to tell him about the two types of people in this world. RV is one that lets things happen. I'm not harping on some minor point like reliever usage -- this was a huge error. Jim, at SSS, who prior to this year has mainly toed the line of "get him better players" called it nothing less than "Ventura's Bevington moment". The As broadcast crew was shocked as well. It was a bad mistake however it happened and I'm of the opinion that RV will continue to let this sort of thing happen. So Hernandez pointed, how about you know asking him "hey, has the PH been announced?" before you make the call to the pen. The entire thing was bizarre with Cooper on the mound. Is RV too lethargic to even walk out to make the change himself anymore? Just a cluster no wonder RV let himself get played. All of this is based on the ignorance of the fact that the umpire screwed up.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 18, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) he did come out and argue. Im not sure why getting himself ejected makes everything better. Besides, Angel Hernandez always does his own thing, you arent gonna win when he screws up The FIRE and the PASSION!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 18, 2015 -> 12:34 PM) Okay, well I promised lameness. I barely even remember the story and never thought much of it until now since I didn't know there's a potential Rose/Butler rift until reading this thread. After a recent game, both ended up going to RPM Steak. They were in a VIP area and the pretty much the only people around, iirc it was the upstairs area (never been there so not even sure if there is one). Rose was with a big group, his family and entourage and whoever. Butler was there with his agent and business partner to discuss some things. Basically, I guess it was extremely awkward and the two refused to acknowledge that the other was having dinner in the same room as one another. It became a game of who would go over to who at the egging on of Butler's agent, but Jimmy refused to in the end. I think the other people around just expected them to be bffs or whatever. There's more to the story and I'm not telling it right, but yeah its lame nonetheless. There's your nba tmz report for the day. The sad thing is that even as lame as that is, at least that has some substance to it when compared to the Bern-stain article from today. This at least has something happening into it.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 18, 2015 -> 12:34 PM) If that's the case he should have argued and got him self ejected because that is horse s***. Either way, it's an awful look. Hayes is just carrying the orgs water regardless. lol. So he should take the umpires mistake, and turn it into an even bigger mistake by getting kicked out of the game? The reality is that the umpire is the final authority and if he screws up, there isn't much you can do about it. Compounding the error by trying to show up the umpire isn't going to help the team, and in fact will probably just piss him off against your team.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 18, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) It's not that. He got played for a fool by Oakland. Made a pitching change before the PH was officially announced. An error you expect a 1st year manger to perhaps make. Not a guy in his 4th. Dan Hayes @CSNHayes Heard in clubhouse that Angel Hernandez did signal that Stephen Vogt was in as a hitter Fri & reversed & said he was noting pinch runner.

QUOTE (scs787 @ May 18, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) Sigh people still see Saturday as a mistake? It would have been his 5th game in 7 days, and he was needed on the 16th as well. If Robin pitched him 6 of 8 days and Rovo got hurt or starter to get beat up a bit, Robin would get roasted for using him too much. Which illustrates the reality that things aren't always as simple as they are made out to be. While going by the numbers is one thing, sometimes there are external reasons for not doing stuff like that.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 18, 2015 -> 12:16 PM) Is that lame Derrick Rose - Jimmy Butler RPM Steak story out there? I got it from a guy who is a bit of a "insider", but he's also a huge sports geek so I'm not sure if he got it from some other media. No idea what you are referring to here...

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ May 18, 2015 -> 11:47 AM) I wonder if the next man up to enter or return to the rotation at this point for a spot start or injury (Baltimore double header?) will be Noesi, Drabek or Beck? - the latter 2 pitching well, Noesi already on the 25. I'd rather see one of them instead of Hector, I think. What say you? Drabek is no longer on the 40 man roster, so I would kind of doubt him.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 18, 2015 -> 11:16 AM) Goff lying too? Does he have a source that isn't being shared?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) Typical Bernstein. Long on theory short on actual sources. Trolling for clicks as always. This is how I feel about it. I could just as easily speculate anything else I wanted, and have just as much substance behind it.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 11m11 minutes ago Bob Melvin thought they'd knock Jeff Samardzija out in the 5th: "Next thing you know he’s out there in the 8th, so it was impressive.”

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:50 AM) No, because no player or coach currently on the team would let that out. Stuff like this seems out of character for Jimmy, but Rose's alleged behavior isn't completely surprising to me. The guy's never willingly recruited superstars the Bulls were courting that were definitely better than him. Gasol or Boozer? Yeah that's fine, they'll be the #1 guy on offense. LeBron or Melo? That means he's no longer the main guy on offense. Rose has built a brand that he's from Chicago and that he represents the city. It would only seem logical that he wants to be the main guy to win this team a championship. It is only logical if you accept that Rose would rather be the best player on a mediocre team, versus being #2 or #3 and winning a title.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 18, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) I would add onto this and go a step further. I think with some guys, it was trying to do too much that was part of the issue. I agree totally.
