QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 05:25 PM) Kevin Durant hinted at this recently and everyone jumped him I'm gonna say it, he screams "system guy". Much like all of those Bulls who played with Jordan, never went somewhere else and played better. They were always much worse.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 11:59 PM) http://www.freep.com/article/20140617/SPORTS02/306170058/ Some early speculation about both Huston Street and/or Balfour moving, possibly to bolster the Tigers' bullpen (Joe Bowden). Hopefully the Tigers panic, and overreact here. That would be awesome. Trade away more of your future.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 07:59 AM) So what does the consensus think on Rodon: 1. Boras is just delaying because he's Boras. 2. Boras is holding out for the entire bonus pool plus the overage. 3. The Sox are trying to keep around $500,000-$600,000 for Montes de Oca. I believe that Rodon will sign. Even though there isn't much leverage, I could see it going awhile just because Boras is Boras though. If the holdup is Reinsdorf not paying an overage that is technically allowed though, he should just sell the team. I have nothing to prove that that would be the reason but not going over because they've never done it before is ass backwards logic. Especially when you dumped salary last year and just ate Jeff Keppinger's contract. If you expect that, you are rooting for the wrong team.

Christopher Kamka ‏@ckamka 40s Adam Eaton: 15 hits, 7 walks over last 10 games. #WhiteSox

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 1m Flowers had a big wrap on his left foot. Was unsure if he was catching Wednesday--Sale vs. Hudson Wednesday

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 10:10 PM) Phegley's 8th passed ball of the season tonight. Can't believe he's still having these problems. Cannot be a MLB catcher with the passed ball rate he sports every season And that is why Tyler Flowers will be the White Sox starting C for the rest of the season, barring injury.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 10:07 PM) Several scholars have been arguing for years that the USA and Iran have very good reason to be allies with one another, due in large part to their mutually strong interest in Iraq's stability Not until they drop their nuclear program.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 10:21 PM) That makes the ball move differently. It'll run in on the hands of a RH more. It will be interesting if he can adjust once the hitters have seen it a few times. What I have seen has move more towards the left handed batters box than the right. It has looked like Buehrle's change.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) There will be a podcast or recording of this? They podcast any interview.

If there is news to be had, it will come out in the post game show.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 1m Danks slightly lowered his arm angle and that has seemed to make an enormous difference

I know it is counter-intuitive, but I would be looking to sell Putnam right now if I was Rick Hahn. I just get the feeling there is no way he repeats this again next year, and if we can get something nice for him, good.

Matt Slovin ‏@MattSlovin 56s #Tigers out of first place for first time since July 2, 2013 after 11-4 loss to #Royals.

Hopefully it is more like 5, than 6, but I will take it either way.

I don't know if there are numbers or something out there to support this, but it doesn't seem like Danks has anymore speed on his pitches these last five starts, or so, but it seems like his change up has depth and slant again. My eyes are telling me that it was mostly flat, and just slower than his fastball. Now it seems to have back that downward, and/or backwards (back towards a lefty hitter, instead of away from him) movement on it.

Ha, the Sox got up six runs, and this thread cleared out!

Nieto has the catching gear on and is getting loose. NO idea what is wrong with Flowers.

And Crawford should have put that into his pocket. He had no chance at Eaton.

Boy Eaton is just trouble at the top of the order.

Real nice to see Tyler not chase after that nasty sinker on the previous pitch.

That was a great pitch to end the inning. If I squinted, I could almost see Mark Buehrle.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 08:06 PM) Why couldn't Beckham do that on Sunday. He had 3 damn chances! No one could hit in the clutch on Sunday. It was one of those days.

Even without the homer, that was a great AB by Gordon. Cain threw him everything but the kitchen sink.
