Nice bounce back here off old friend Tim Hill. LFG

There have been truely awful at bats

Free base cost them. Quero has zero baseball IQ.

I think he was ahead of both batters

Ya the wheels are off Chris Murphy sucks

Chris Murphy sucks.....over managing there by venable although offense needed to capitalize

Offense not looking good.

They would DFA Romo to open the spot.

I don't follow FutureSox to a great degree of depth but is the cat drafted out of Arkansas at AAA a guy?

This is what they call a tough match up.....actually with our LHH I think we got a punchers chance. Too bad the currently performing bullpen sputtered in Detroit and Cleveland series or we would have a bit of breathing room. Let's hope it sticks for a bit.

Lipman and Greg, Sox signed a guy from your high school and another was drafted by the Reds. As stated earlier as was Zion Rose they also have a kid in the finals of the high school homerun derby this afternoon.

Great game sans the errors.

Wonder if the IL break was fictitious to work on things or he was injured prior as that stuff is unhittabke

I think Colson needs the ASB both physically and mentally. Id also say not sucking as team outweighs Roch being drafted and 3 guys going to the all star game

Hey Lip, Zion Rose went to your high school for three years before flipping to IMG. Whispers that move cost him 3 years ago. Glad he bounced back. He and Massey together would be a cool thing.

Hoping Schultz feels the energy and shoves today. Ive gotten into the FIFA WC and gotta say the sport is on a whole different plane of questionable officiating......although this is the first time Ive ever watched beyond the US and the US stinks

Im sorry that I just cannot get behind Acuna. Nice win and good day if the trade isnt just for Thome's kid

His OPS is not much higher if it even is over Romo. He Perez and Romo are put in position to succeed and they fail.

Busy day. Taping game but checking in to say Venable is a fucking clown who is reminding me more and more of old man LaRussa Go Roch!!!

If this move is made for Thome its a disaster. If its to overpay 1-1 its bad. My hope with their recently developed ability with MiLB hitting is they can develop a pipeline. Also once negotiating began things opened up that will allow the pick to be worth it as dollars became clear. Is Roch going underslot....is there a MLB contract in the talk with him already?? I'm not up on the MLB draft enough to know the moving pieces. Choosing Acuna over Gonzalez mystified me.

OK, there are three better options than Acuna beside Colson.

Didn't see a strike.

Stuffing Gonzalez on the bench and then Colson and Vargas playing out of position to get Acuna at bats is certainly a decision.

Team was overcoming some of Veneable's shortcomings but they seem to be coming home to roost. His lineup construction this series was awful. Not sure if it is all his fault as Junior and Acuna are what they are. Sticking with Romo is certainly an odd organizational decision as well.

Was the draft day trade for Byram a good one? Seems to range from meh or awful. I am a hockey idiot but when Bedard was drafted I was not overly impressed for a 1-1 especially with his size. Although I kind of felt the same with Kane and was wrong there. Is he worth the deal he will be seeking / getting. For all of the tanking and prospect hype, I am still not seeing anything here to excite me but again, I am not very hockey smart.
