QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) Yankees will refuse to pay Arods $6 million bonus for passing Mays on the grounds that due to his steroid abuse they are unable to market the accomplishment which is part of the bonus clause in his contract. They have been avoiding even mentioning the approaching milestone in their press releases this month and now I know why. Yet they have no problem counting the WS they won with the roided up ARod contributing. If you go by the any oublicity is good publicity motto, ARod is still getting a lot of attention. If ARod files a grievance, it will be interesting how it goes, especially comsidering this particular $6 million payout, would actually cost the Yankees $9-12 million due to the luxury tax .

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 3, 2015 -> 11:16 AM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 3m3 minutes ago Adam Eaton is sick enough they sent him back to Chicago. Tyler Flowers also sick as are a few other guys. #WhiteSox I don't think the White Sox are going to be happy with Dan Hayes. This is exactly what Brian Price was fuming about. Don't let the other manager know you are playing a man or 2 short.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2015 -> 10:59 AM) The same relevance as Gavin Floyd is the new poster child for why TJ surgery is ineffective. Actually, your provided example is much less relevant, because Harvey has more in common with Hoffman, Fedde, Giolito, Matuella, etc., since those pitchers are all quite young and havent had their arms (initially) put back together with screws and bolts. Woh this is for your Homer Bailey idea, where even the trainer said you were wrong. In an effort not to pay John Danks, you would rather pay Homer Bailey to rehab and then after 2 elbow surgeries and 3 partial seasons, be on the hook to him , a guy who has only posted a WAR above 2.7 once in his career, $63 million for 3 seasons. They probably won't even let you GM a fantasy league. It would be stealimg your money.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2015 -> 08:20 AM) Mr. Harvey in NY seemed to survive TJ surgery no worse for wear. Fwiw. What is the relevance?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2015 -> 08:18 AM) Because constantly turning over the roster and expecting different results from the same manager is more logical. Well, more talent but the same woeful results and apathetic, disinterested style of play. Why? There is no apathetic , disinterested play. You doomsdayers just made that up.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 3, 2015 -> 07:43 AM) first bold, yeah i know that, i was confuse on why Gardenhire will be a better coach by some of the other posters who keeps mentioning him. if i understand this correctly, he lost all those games... then why does posters think he will be better than RV?? Because logic doesn't enter in the equation. 8-13 is bad but not the end of the world. 2005 had a 5-12 streak and a 7-12 streak and they won 99.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 3, 2015 -> 07:26 AM) ok, i mean not disrespect to any and all who keeps bring up Gardenhire as a coach for the sox. but can some one explain why they think he would be a good one??? First off, the Sox aren't going to fire Robin. Secondly, 99,96,96,92. Those are the amount of games Gardenhire managed teams have lost the last 4 seasons. On Soxtalk, losing with bad rosters is OK if it is with other teams.This year, the roster is better. They will start playing better.

Perkins looks like Buehrle.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 2, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) So do people think Rodon will get the spot start when our guys serve theur suspensions? I think it will be Carroll personally. Rodon I think goes back down to get stretched out when Guerra and Albers are back. Lots of overreaction in this thread. I think he will, and then replace Noesi assumimg no injuries.

Hit it pretty well but not good enough.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) Unless they've changed the rules, foul balls can't be home runs. I don't even think they come into play (pun) in sabermetrics.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:53 PM) YOU MUST HAVE MISSED THE HOME RUN THAT WENT INCHES FOUL. Jesus. They don't give you runs on fouls balls. But if it gives you something to b**** about......

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) The Twins must have the greatest hitters in the world then, cause they are having no problems squaring up and teeing off. I know the eye test doesn't matter, but the eye test tells me he's got pedestrian stuff today. He hasn't given up any runs. Gave up a couple inherited, one on a soft liner to RF, another on a SF.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:46 PM) are you watching the same game in the same universe as we are? That was some of the worst stuff he's ever brought out. No command, flat slider for the most part, NO CHANGEUP and his fastball spotting at 94 just to grab a strike. Goodness man wtf are your eyes seeing? LMAO. No question his command was off, and his control was a problem early. If the sliders he threw Mauer even looked liked a possibke strike, he was struck out. But for pure stuff, it was really good. My eyes see good stuff. Good stuff doesn't equal good results.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:43 PM) His stuff looks pedestrian, you must agree with that. He has to go down and start starting. He is throwing 94-98 with an 89-91 slider. Stuff isn't his problem. It is pretty spectacular.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) they are going to ruin this kid. No they are not. He doesn't pitch back to backs, and they keep him stretched out for when he joins the rotation which could happen soom with the suspensions.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 2, 2015 -> 02:48 PM) More stellar defense. Wrong.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 2, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) Maybe inconclusive so they called him out? Probably. When it takes that long, inconclusive is usually the reason.

This long usually means bad news

Nice move Jose

The Sox are goimg to need a few more. They are hitting the ball hard.

Shuck showing why he lead off.

I love ya Hawk , but it really isn't the umpires' fault.

The Sox have been wearing the black tops a lot.doesn't seem to bring them luck.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 1, 2015 -> 02:23 PM) That would actually be good to know. I guess no media outlet wants to go there. Also, what are the odds of them getting a fair trial? And I am not saying that to side with them. If they are guilty, they deserve prison.
