QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 08:34 PM) He's a good ballplayer. I don't know if he's a full time starter, but there's a 10+ year career for a guy that can competently play any infield position (and plays them pretty well) and can give you a good at bat off the bench or after sitting, and can also start in a pinch. Also, that stache.

I also think James comes back out in the eighth.

I'm pro-whatjusthappened.

That one is on Tim.

Well, this buys James some more rope. I wonder why Carlos was pulled, unless I'm missing something obvious. Or Lawrie is going on the DL retroactive.

I was wrong, it wasn't a professional at bat. It was a professional plate appearance however. Like I said last night, though, Tyler has a place on a winning team.

I like Saladino here because I at least think it will be a professional at bat

Could use one of those patented Navarro triples here.

OH MY GOD IT WENT OUR WAY

This series exists to allow Joe Maddon to challenge. This one might not be overturned.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) Shields should be on a very short leash to begin the 7th This isn't quite the same as Miguel entering the 7th. Shields has proven over his career that he can go deep into games. I wouldn't be mad at an insurance run, but it's not like we are pulling him if the leadoff guy gets on.

Whoa, James is fired up.

I like this James Shields kid

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) Fulmer is a starter. I'm just not a big believer in this pen going forward. Fulmer may be one of your setup guys tonight.

"And that ball is foul." "And caught."

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 07:34 PM) Can't get major league experience by not playing. Yeah, I don't want to f*** with a Smith/Narvaez battery when one should be in AAA and one should be in AA.

ANOTHER RUN WE DID IT GUYS

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) a) Alex Avila is close to being back b) I'd rather our pitching staff throwing to a sloth with its arms amputated than Dioner Navarro Alex Avila is close to getting hurt again

Rick Hahn seems like such a nice guy. I don't want to hate him.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 07:26 PM) At this point, just DFA him and bring up Smith. Can he be any worse? If he can play this time lol You'd have a pitching staff throwing to two guys that have combined to catch single digit major league innings.

James is big gamin

more 5 pitch innings please

Jose Abreu, our new singles hitter
