QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 07:27 AM) Expanding has nothing to do with athletics. It's all about tv revenue. BYU, Cincy, USF or UCF would make the most sense out of the rumored schools. I don't know the point in bringing in Houston since the Big 12 already has that market covered. Does the BIG 12 have a championship game?

They have one every day player with an OPS over 800 Until they figure out that that stat means something as well as playing defense is a good idea They will continue to fail

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) Maybe I am just used to White Sox hitters swinging at so many pitches, but it seems to me White Sox pitchers throw a lot more balls than most pitching staffs. White Sox hitters swing at crap pitches and get themselves out. Abreu is doing this at an alarming rate.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 12:10 PM) Pomeranz for Baez might be a good swap, right? You know who would be a good trade for Baez, Robertson.

Did anyone see the play a he plate that Arrieta was called safe on? That is the reason review is needed. It was an absolutely horrendous call that was over turned.

I voted for stand pat. I don't what the Ray Durham / Jon Adkins crap. Sell high or don't sell. If you can flat out win a trade for guys like Lawrie, Frazier, Melkey, Shields, Duke, Robertson or Abreu you do it. I do not want them to give them away.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 10:17 PM) How does Steverson still have a job? What a gutless organization He was hired to instill his philosophy which neglects obp. Another organizational failure.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) I don't even know what Puigs value is? Would be an ok buy low candidate for this team since they don't have a ton of prospects to deal. Swap he and Avi lol. Nice change of scenery trade for both players Avi has zero skill set he literally does nothing well. How he is run out there daily is testament to how bad the White Sox evaluate talent. They thought he was a 30/30 guy and a CF. He cannot play defense and is the worst base runner I have ever seen.

He really serves less of a purpose than Flowers did.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 11:47 PM) Sale pitched one inning in the last 10 days. Should have been given at least one runner in the 9th, especially with Robertson being rusty 3 run lead was a good time for Robertson to get the rust off Sale was at 100 pitches should have stayed in but then turn over a game with base runners to a rusty Robertson maybe not a good idea either Offense needs more than 3 runs off wade Leblanc

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 11:25 PM) Damned if you do Damned if you don't. This has a bad loss feel to it. Yep

Almost as bad as catching inning as flowers last year.

Navarro cost Robertson a strike out another Hahn fail.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 11:22 PM) I would have given Sale the first two batters, but that's me Damned if you do Damned if you don't. This has a bad loss feel to it.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 11:20 PM) 2 hits and a walk tonight and still gets more insults than any Sox. That's impressive. He is 23, can't play the outfield, can't run the bases and has a .628 ops....what's there to like about him?

My God avi is f***ing terrible

He hasn't pitched in a week and is at 100 pitches.....not sure when Robertson last pitched This offense just plain sucks.

Nice turn there

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) Ever check out batting averages on team websites when hitters get behind in the count ? They are bad but thats pretty normal across MLB but most of the Sox are in the .100's ? Their mantra is to swing at anything

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) Doesn't seem to just turn and launch homers anymore. His lack of power is astonishing Pitch recognition is embarassing.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) Abreu is swinging at s*** Avi swings at. Can't believe he's still swinging at that s*** down and away. What a f***ing pathetic AB for Abreu. Just get the season over with and forget about this one buddy. That is a guy he should be destroying...really sad.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 10:11 PM) Good lord Hawk is terrible to ight Terry Ryan was fired give him some slack.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 10:00 PM) a) he hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt, he grades out as one of the worst guys in all of baseball at that, and b) it looked like a particularly clumsy attempt even if Sale did miss his location He is certainly not smooth back there.

Joe west throws like a girl.

Six pitches, six swings not one was a strike.
