QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) strike zone discipline? That's not a Steverson quality -- he advocates aggressive swingers They almost advocate corpse ball.

The bunt was bad but garcia is just an embarrassment to baeball.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) Dan McNeil exits the Drive No surprises there. I wonder where he's going to try to go now I actually liked that morning show. My guess he ends up at WLS as they have the Bulls and Sox as an evening fill in when those teams are not playing. I think he is the best personality.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 10:05 AM) Sitting here balancing the usual excitement of seeing a top prospect called up with the certainty that they're rushing it. I dunno guys. If the White Sox had a history of success I would like this but most hitters fail.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 04:55 PM) That's why I'm not quite sure I like this move. Of all the Cubs prospects, he looked the most like a replacement level player, but I still wouldn't trade him for a nobody like Coghlan. Coghlan will win them a game in the next week.

QUOTE (chisox802 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 04:33 PM) For what it's worth once again (in the Mat Latos thread I stated aprox. 20 minutes before it was announced that my buddy who works for the sox & bulls said that this was being announced today or tomorrow), he also said this. This move is solely in case they are not able to land a big bat, which unless the wheels continue to completely fall off they will make every effort to. The wheels are off.

By the time he is ready to play the Sox will be 12 under .500 and 13 games out of first.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 01:00 PM) So when they win it's lucky but when they lose it's RV fault. I can't argue with that kind of logic. Robin has a history of losing but no history of winning.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 09:24 AM) Sanchez is garbage. Lawrie has much more potential. I think they are both garbage and Sanchez can do it without giving up anything and costing less money as well as not having the ability to be annoying which my guess Lawrie is at this point with the team sucking.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 07:40 AM) It blows my mind that with all the information available at the click of mouse that people choose to stay uninformed. Sanchez has never had an OPS+ over 65, Lawrie is at 98 right now. Sanchez. Is. AWFUL. Does defense, age and opportunity get to be put into the equation? By the way I am not a Sanchez fan but fail to see the impact of Lawrie at this point other than the stupid ass mouth piece and striking out over 200 times this season.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 09:00 AM) They actually have done something in the KW era. I don't remember anything this bad. Shields looked about as bad as someone could look last night. He won't be that bad. If he is, someone has to go, whether it is KW, RH or a scout who recommended it be done. I just think it is right now a when it rains it pours situation. They will turn it around eventually, hopefully before it's too late. It's been a dramatic fall. But even the 2005 White Sox lost 13 or 14 games in the standing at one point, then got on a roll and were just about unbeatable. The 2014 Giants had a 6-18 streak. It does seem like this will never end, but it will, and if Hahn does what he has been telling people he will do, the team should be pretty good. Last evening Navarro was a better option because of familiarity there is no question about it, it is not a debate. Maybe James Shields said he does not like to throw to Navarro in which case we are all wrong.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 01:59 AM) Serious question and I'd like specifically Fathom's answer: Is Lawrie any better than Beckham? Pls. answer this. I wonder if he is better than Carlos Sanchez.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 10:14 PM) Truly amazing to me that people want to blame KW for this. There are kw fingerprints on a good amount of move Rollins for one, shields, hanging onto avi. I am not sure what Hahn is actually responsible for.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) Not to mention extremely premature. Seriously 1 start? It is a micocosim of the failings of this organization. There is a stink to that place. Robin does not get the best out of his players.

Either Williams and Ventura go or sell everyone. This is not working.

It is not about anything other than this team was riding high....stumbled.......and is now in a free fall. I am not certain whose fault it is, I am not paid to figure it out. The season essentially was over after the first series last season and a few years back a promising season ended in a freefall. There is no direction for this team and it is only getting worse. Some nice pieces were added but the major work on signing and developing talent does not happen here and thus we are always a couple of pieces short. Why is it that players under Robin Ventura can consistently freefall (See Eaton now) for a period of time or their career can just go into the tank (LaRoche and to an extent Dunn). Ask yourself this, does any play ever exceed expectations under Robin Ventura....... Does he get the most out of his roster.........

They will win 2 games and score more than 3 runs twice

Free agency looks weak this off season and sox have excess cash so that makes great sense to pick up that contract at $9M per. In a month they can sign another Tatis rather easily Johnson had no value and the padre hope is that the NL and that park is what is needed. I continue to hold out hope for the bullpen. This offense is bad. In the end, the white sox are building for next two years.

If the 8 run 8th and 7 run ninth can put a team in a funk, what I saw yesterday should also pull it out of a funk. The bullpen literally won that game yesterday with the main implosion culprits coming through in a big way. Am I happy where they sit right now, no but the AL Central is not as good as it has been and the White Sox are right there with any of them. Somke and mirrors is not really needed just guys to produce as the have in the past.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) Jim Palmer: Syndergaard Should Have Been Suspended For what?

Maybe he needs glasses His pitch recognition sucks and because of it he is starting his swing later and thus is late on pitches.

Would be good to see Robertson come through

If Abreu and Eaton are going to be worthless this team is toast.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 03:09 PM) Sox are running out relievers. Score here and end this game. Robertson and Albers can both go two.
