QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 29, 2013 -> 06:06 PM) ?Alexei is the only player in baseball to play EVERY inning I believe he said? He also was talking about how durable he is, since 2009 he has done this and that, and also how he's 18 out of 21 in stolen bases....

Anyone else get the strange feeling Hawk has been told to advertise our players a bit on today's broadcast in case other GM's are watching? It's not AT ALL like Hawk to say the things he just did about Alexi.

Don't look now but Dunn is over the mendoza line and if he continues to increase his BA over the next few weeks we could possibly find a buyer interested in taking him and part of the remaining 1.5 yrs on the contract.

Pardon me guys as I haven't been watching a lot of games this year and I have a few questions about Beckham: 1) Is Gordon's .309 batting average in roughly 100 AB's anything to get excited about? 2) Has he lost some of his power with the new stroke (0 HR's so far) 3) Dare we consider some team friendly extension and hope he continues to progress?

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 08:28 PM) Not defending Ventura, but is it really his fault his players are dumb? It's not his fault they are dumb and some are awful baseball players however I think the issue a guy like Fathom or myself have is sending T Flow up there in the ninth against a righty reliever. This just simply cannot happen, he had NO CHANCE up there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 08:05 PM) Anyone know how to find stats regarding what he's hitting in the 9th inning and later this season? I second this request. Where is StatmanDu when you need him? I have been searching on this and cannot find the 9th inning and later numbers of T Flow in 2013.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) How is Ventura still employed? This is the worst managed Sox team I've seen in the 20 years or so I've been watching baseball closely. The odds of Tyler Flowers getting a hit there, as most of us on this board know, were almost 1 out of a 100. And I don't feel like I am exaggerating.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 07:53 PM) It's truly incredible how many awful things this team does at the plate. Not only that, but it's freaking hilarious that Ventura keeps letting Flowers face the righty closer. I was thinking the same thing. OMG what a fitting ending to this game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 06:57 PM) Beckham at his finest with that double to right center. Shades of the 2009 walk off winner against the Cubs at the Cell

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 09:58 PM) I can't believe they're in a situation where he has to bat against a RHP closer. This team is just ugly. It makes you wonder how much a team will take on a certain personality one year and how much it changes from year to year. I am sure Robin is preaching defense just as much as last year. This team just cannot catch the ball and you wonder really if it has anything to do with the manager when this stuff happens.

One time T Flow

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 10:44 PM) Hit rewind: He said he has 422 home runs & only had 1 other 3 run homer. Stone concurred. Maybe they meant 3 home run game? Seems impossible to have one other 3 run homer in his career haha I can remember 3 games where he had a 3 run homer as a White Sox player.

Does Hawk really believe this team still has a chance this year? It seems like it.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2013 -> 06:47 PM) Still going Tuesday? I don't think they committed to that yet however Sale said in the interview he was going to go. In fact he told management he was going today but everyone got together and told him it wasn't happening.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2013 -> 06:43 PM) So what have the Sox said about Sale today? Nothing you wouldn't expect, mostly cliches, we're not taking chances, it's a long season, we're going to give him some rest, better safe than sorry, etc.

Is Dan Hayes the bastard son of Jerry Reinsdorf? How does this hack have a job? He's awful.

88 MPH on his fastball there. Couldn't we have brought up a guy from AAA?

That's what the Angels get for playing a midget at 3B! Dunn!!

Why is Dwayne Wise even on this team?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2013 -> 02:20 PM) Yep, if this keeps up, you have to move him down in the order. Getting blown away by 90 mph is an awful sign for him. It tied him up a bit, seemed like he was looking away there.

Whoever said we'd be regretting this last year of the Konerko contract back in 2010 is looking to be right...

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 16, 2013 -> 05:01 PM) I love it, gives me a chance to do something else during the evening and watch the game while I'm winding down. I tend to stay up later than I should, though, anyway. In Ukraine the west coast games come on at 5 AM. Something to wake up to with some bacon and eggs.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2013 -> 01:07 PM) It sounds like Peavy would be willing to accept a trade anywhere if that team was in contention. Yes, he wants that "dogpile" I believe was the quote

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ May 16, 2013 -> 11:03 AM) I didn't realize how good Peavy has been this year. If the Sox are out of it come the trade deadline, does he get traded? And if so, what kind of return could he get? You gotta wonder if upper management has any loyalty to Jake knowing that he signed that deal at below market to stay in Chicago? I suppose I could see them going to him and getting a list of teams he'd be willing to play for but just shipping him off after he signed that deal to stay here would probably not send the best signal to future free agents...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 14, 2013 -> 01:48 PM) We desperately need offense now, not in 5-6 years. Not that it's a bad idea, but it also shouldn't distract from the pressing needs of the moment, either. LOL, yes. Although from the sounds of it on this forum a lot of people are thinking about 2018 right now.
