Airtravel isn't a teleport and you just get from point A to point B. Things come up and issues happen. If they were serious you would think they would have gotten in the night before.

So Bryant's season almost went the way of Shwarber's....but Maddon is a genius.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 4, 2016 -> 02:32 PM) Amen. Laroche should have played there last year. As Dunn should have. The lack of defensive concern by this organization is a head scratcher.

Abreu needs to be the DH. Saladino at third Frazier at first.

Out of town for weekend got the cubs on wgn Friday and today and Fox yesterday. No sox coverage. I read the game threads without knowing the outcome each day then read MLB game cast and wrap. Gotta say sox easily could have swept Houston. Nice run here last four series. Frazier needs to figure something out. Q is becoming the team leader.

My problem with this situation is the manager does seem to get the best out of his team and the baseball mindset is non existent. Everyone seems to be going through the motions

Due to the floor, everyone will be paid in the NBA at least $10M a year.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) Fractured foot for Davidson another base running injury for this team

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) Abreu bad last 2 AB's Did you miss the first one? That inning didn't really go too well after getting he lead off man on.

Have a day Abreu.

With a struggling bullpen, is playing for one run a really solid idea?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) My favorite thing to do with game threads is to read the posts in horror assuming we are down 12-24 runs and then to look at the score. This thread has mirrored the game pretty much. Rodon fell a part for no good reason after being give two leads and the bullpen is finishing off the effort.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) Keep getting two strikes on these guys the last two innings, and no one can get the strikeout Story of the season it seems like. 2 strike hits and 2 out runs allowed

Well this game has certainly gone right down the s***ter.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) ...do teams know our signs? Appears somebody was reading our mail. Is this is third call up to get injured on the same day they were called up (Kevan something and Coats) ?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) It's the beginning of the pen that should be as worrisome. Injuries have played a part in that. Any team that is missing the starting CF and LF will look like that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 03:12 PM) And we just lost our defensive replacement if needed for Avi This game went from comfortable to a horror show rather quickly when Coates becomes the DH

I assume Davidson is hurt...there white Sox could nto be that stupid to waste two players on the DH spot.

That was a pretty poor performance by Rodon especially after it started so well.

Spanks with the good old fashioned taking one for the team.

Nice hit...now just don't get picked off. Here comes 6 change ups to Davidson.

Terrible at bat

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 02:09 PM) Ok Rodon still dealing minus those two solo bombs. Awful scouting there to throw dozier a first pitch fastball I am only half joking when I ask if he White Sox have major league scouts. Their advanced scouting is always abysmal.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) What's with the LOL for Grossman? He'd easily be the best hitter in terms of fWAR on the Sox. good call

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 01:50 PM) Gun to your head. Davidson or Garcia for the rest of the year - can only choose 1.... I'm taking Garcia. Woof. Garcia has had some success in the majors so obviously it is Garcia. The fact Garcia cannot run the bases or play defense makes me detest him though. He has a baseball IQ of zero. I would like to see Davidson get a look to see if there is anything he could do. It is not like Garcia has warranted a long look at DH. I am still befuddled how White Sox scouting thought Garcia could play CF....
