QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 04:59 PM) I mean what the hell was that? Moose making a good play and knocking the ball out of the glove.

I mean it's not like this hasn't happened many a times to other catchers....it's a tough break.

well damn.

lol fantastic

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) Um. Timberwolves PR ‏@Twolves_PR 1m #Twolves making an announcement at 3:30 pm CT. Stay tuned to http://Timberwolves.com for more info. Oh boy....Gonna laugh it's something weak like signing Robbie Hummel.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) I think it would be silly to tell a hitter to stop being so patient and stop controlling the strike zone so well, yes. lol. But maybe instead they told him they want him to use those hitters counts to drive the ball instead of the Joey Votto approach of trying to draw a walk in every PA. So maybe on those 2-0 counts he is getting he is swinging and belting HR instead of taking a walk. I'm not really sure. Ya, that's pretty much what I mean...Giving him the green light on 2-0/3-0/3-1 counts

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 02:23 PM) And draw more walks, which are way down this season. Is it silly to think maybe they're asking him to be more aggressive?

Lol that's 10 hits in the last 8 games for Tyler.....He had 9 all last month...took him 101 ABs to get 10 hits previously.

It was hit hard...but right at em.

Them magical glasses....

Has he recently worked with Thome or something? I know he's always had some pop, but my goodness.

Bearss trying out Travis Beckum today....I always thought dude was gonna be legit in the NFL coming out of college. Wonder if he still has somethin left in him.

4th RBI for Dunn this series.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) I'm not a Love fan, simple as that. Is he a top 5, not IMO. Top 10 yeah, but as great as he is offensively, he's bad defensively. I also think he's a bit of a statpadder, so sue me. His great stats haven't exactly translated to wins, right? Defensive RPM doesn't really hate him, he's got a positive rating, albeit ranked 21st. Calling him a statpadder is a little silly too. As long as you're still being efficient then go for it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) Beckham is bound to rebound at least a little bit. If someone picks him up for nothing and the Sox take on some money, they will get a bargain. And I'd be fine with that. I was right there with you earlier this season defending Gordon, talking about how maybe Steverson actually tapped into that potential, but over the last month or 2 that thought went out the window. Even if he does go somewhere else and lights it up, the time is now to get whatever you can.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 12:02 PM) Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN · 34m Gordon Beckham is making $4.18m this year, and some evaluators believe White Sox will have to buy down at least some $ to move him pre-7/31. So he's owed like 1.5M the rest of the way?? Throw in half that and get whatever you can.

Nathaniel Stoltz ‏@stoltz_baseball 55m Tyler Danish 87-90 sinker, 74-77 SL, one 78 change in the first. Nathaniel Stoltz ‏@stoltz_baseball 8m Danish adding and subtracting from all three pitches. Just threw a 70 mph change that was practically a screwball.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 10:40 AM) History shows you take the best player, not the best package. I still think the report of the Bulls offer is BS, and they can't trade McDermott for 30 days anyways. Meh, I'd rather have the Bulls deal but I'm just a homer.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 10:20 AM) Again unless Love states that he will only resign here, it is a complete waste of time. Because of the Cleveland offer??

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 10:09 AM) One that unfortunately falls well short of Wiggins. But I'm down for another hype train. Choo choo! Probably, but I guess it depends on the TWolves perception. One of their beat writers said they love McDermott, they could be of the belief that Niko is the top 5 pick everyone always brings up, and Taj fits real well next to Pekovic. And on the other end of things, they could see Bennett as trash......Wiggins is the best player, but that Bulls package might be better.

Oh boy.... That's not a bad offer at all.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 09:47 AM) Because he's a bad catcher. Needs a new position. It wouldn't surprise me if he hit in the majors, even though his 200 at bats last year were terrible. I am surprised that there hasn't been more market for Dunn. Just as a bench bat, much less a platoon DH, would have some value. There may be and there's just no leaks coming out. Hasn't Hahn been much more tight lipped than KW? There's been like 1 or 2 seemingly legit rumor so far on all our players and the deadline is 8 days away.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 09:43 AM) Dunn will retire as a Sox player. Yup, after we trade him in a few days and Andy Wilkins fails, Sox will resign him this offseason.

What's his FIP though?

I was defending Beckham in May....Now I too just wanna see him DFA.
