You just can't expect things even could go well with Detwiler on the mound. I can't wait for this rebuild to be over so you can actually root and expect to win, especially vs. crap like the Royals.

They need to extend him while they have the chance.

The broadcast always talks about other teams' run differential as being the true sign of where the team is at. They NEVER mention the Sox run differential which is 4th worse in baseball ahead of only Baltimore, Detroit, and Seattle who has played 6 or 7 more games. So if run differential really is a thing, this streak should surprise no one.

Goins makes Yolmer look like a prime Robby Alomar.

There was always a school of thought that kids today focus so much on one sport, that it is what causes injuries. Way back when, a lot of kids played ,even if just for fun, the sports that were in season. I know my friends and I would play baseball in the summer, football in the fall, basketball in the winter or spring, even street or floor hockey in the winter. Using different body parts for each let some muscles develop and others to get a break. But something is going on. Players are playing less and less and getting hurt more and more. At least baseball has a 10 day injured list they can use as partial blame. NBA basketball used to be way more physical. Tons of guys averaged 38-40 minutes a night, and didn't take entire games off to rest.

The thing is, it's the constant injuries to every one. All the time, season ender after season ender. At some point, you can't count on it stopping and everyone remaining healthy. It's like the Bulls. How many people think their roster is so improved and they will win so many more games? They are already dropping. Just wait until the season starts.

If it was just a precautionary MRI, they have MRIs in KC. You think they would probably have a Royals doc give him one. I am guessing there was some consultation and there is reason to believe the Sox feel theyneed their doctors on this.

No. Making him a full time DH at his agehas to be a last resort scenerio. Even Frank Thomas played the field longer. If it was 16 inch softball, a catcher just has to throw the ball back and has plays at the plate, and he can't be bowled over.

The way Adolfo recovered from TJ makes me wonder how all the guys who actually need to throw 95 are going to recover.

It depends. If he didn't hear him, and Tilson also admitted he called for it late, it is just an unfortunate occurrence. It didn't appear Eloy was going to make the play but it looked like he was calling for it as well, so it could be a case where he just couldn't get out of the way fast enough. Too bad this isn't 16 inch softball. They could move Eloy to catcher and call it a day.

It seemed like such an inconsequential side swipe.. And he didn't seem to be in much pain walking off the field. He actually was smiling. Seeing this when I got on this morning shocked me. But they obviously x rayed it, and they don't seem too confident nothing is wrong. We can always blame the training staff.

We can hope, but flying him back to Chicago suggests they think something is messed up.

It isn't his fault, but I am waiving Charlie Tilson immediately if this costs Eloy more than a couple of weeks. I know it's irrational, but why would he admit he was calling it late?

It is hard to believe the defensive clown show we have seen tonight is an actual major league team.

Hawk must have said 100 times Greinke's contract was one of the dumbest in history. I'm sure JR agrees.

The way Hawk talked about Greinke's contract makes me feel there is no way the White Sox ever acquire him when he is playing under its terms. I'm sure he wasn't the only White Sox guy to think it.

No chance. It was easy BS from the get go just from timing.

I think Jason is getting desperate. Sometimes just saying your info was bad is better than the spin.

It was incredible. A guy saw him at O Hare 3 and a half hours after their game ended in Oakland. I wonder if he still was in uniform. I am not on Twitter but that clown needs to be called out.

The guy didn't see him at the airport. They were in Oakland. The earliest the guy who saw him at O'Hare last night could have seen him was probably around midnight. Ever been to O'Hare at midnight on a Sunday night? Unless you were on his flight, you weren't going to run into him.

I find that hard to believe. What was messed up was it wouldn't have taken much investigation to realize they would be facing so many lefties, so if they weren't going to play him much, call up someone else. They probably liked having him exposed to McCann, and he now probably has a better idea what he needs to work on with the bat even though expecting a rookie with a lot of swing and miss to be anything but a failure being used like he was is unrealistic. He was clearly set up to faIl. That should be unacceptable. He was also taking a lot of balls at 1B, so I imagine if AJ Reed wasn't acquired, there is a decent chance he stayed on the roster in that role as well as catching.

Yeah, I thought he was. Either way, it's no big deal.

His option was "burned" when he was sent to Charlotte in the spring. This call up had no bearing. Service time, yes. But it's just a couple of weeks.

Like with Abreu, the stars were aligned where the heavy spenders weren't going to be making bids. When Robert becomes a free agent, if he turns into a superstar, at this point, we have no idea who will need an OF at that price. It could be only the cheapskates, or it could be NY, LA, Bos. I don't like the Sox chances if those teams have a real need.

Signing free agents is pretty much a binary activity. You don't get a trophy for a competitive offer. It was a fail, compounded by the cash they spent on his wothless friends.
