hi8is

I'm concerned about this. Reminding me a lot of Rodon's injury and how it was "reported".... I also recall reading recently that the complaint that Hansen had to begin this often times has lead to TJS.

Anyone figure out where you can update your user signature yet?

You must be one of those dudes who just hates change in general.... or maybe you're a hoarder who is attached to "the good old days".... or perhaps you haven't yet figured out where the "green text" option is. ?

Here's a slightly modified header layout that should be really easy for you guys to implement if it is decided to be desirable. Sent over the css properties to Heads already.

Sweet, see the signatures are back... somehow, my image is 404ing... and I can't figure out where the area is now to change the sigs... ( hell, perhaps that's not even yet enabled ) ? If you could let me know where that is whenever you've got a minute... groovy. And no rush, yo!

( I also love that you can see user "warning points" ) It's been hysterical to read through some of those which chronicle the adventures in stupidity of "hi8is". My favorite mod comment being, ?

Groovy, do you guys have a staging / production server environment going? Or rather is it that you've just got another instance of the same board software somewhere with no associated soxtalk database that you're using to do frontend / theme development and testing on before then copying the files manually over to this instance?

Groovy - and yea, it looks 1000x better than Soxtalk v1. ( btw: It's Trevor, not Travis ) No worries thou, my own mother contemplated between those two choices for a year prior to my birth and it's a common mistake... oddly enough. Drop me a text man, I'll PM you my cell - we can figure out a time to meet up halfway for some grub and get to runnin. Cheers again and congrats on the update guys!

They've gotta have an option to enable signatures... right? Hope you guys decide to enable that someday.

Yea, the core technologies that IP uses have evolved so much in the last 10+ years... hell, back then jQuery wasn't a thing... CSS was just in it's infancy... there's so much more potential here it's absurd.

Congrats Jason! Let me m kw when you’re ready for me to help out, I’d be happy to be involved with helping out in terms of the look and feel... frontend code and UI/UX stuff is one of my strengths. Fantastic first step thou and I know it came as a result of many hard hours of work. Thanks again for all you do!

We're just in year 2, and really only 1 1/2 years into the process. (Cubs and Astros have caused everyone to believe it's relatively easy to jump that timeframe making the playoffs up by a year or two, unfortunately.) This was always going to be the worst year. Realistically, the two most important players are doing fairly well (Moncada/Anderson) and Delmonico/Davidson/Sanchez are holding their own. We can be a BIT disappointed in Giolito's stuff (but look at the fact that he's pitched in terrible weather...if he hasn't improved by the end of May when he can get a much better grip on the ball, then we can bemoan it.) Lopez has been even better. Fulmer as expected after the brief blip to end last year. He ends up in the bullpen. The one possible trade chip that could have had some value was Avi, and he's definitely come out slow...but is that a total surprise with all the statistical warning signs/red flags from last year? Everyone else is basically going to be replaced. Maybe Bummer makes it, or Rondon. Nate Jones is undoubtedly trade bait with his injury history. Soria and Avilan will be recycled, if possible. +1 Exactly where I stand as well... I did go into this year with "low 70 wins rosy colored glasses" and now expect 56 wins. ( I'm sticking to that number because... Mark Buehrle. ) Either way, I've invested into the process here and don't really give a f*** if I'm watching historically bad baseball. My time is split between the few likely holdovers up in the show with us now and the minors. Live or Die, Go Sox!

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:20 PM) Only other thing I wanted to bring up from the Kiley chat was him saying one team in the top 5 is seriously considering Bart. He'll probably mention it when they do the mock, but I just thought that should be brought up considering there is a 20% chance its us. Bart?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:59 PM) Ricky loves the bunt. Wouldn?€™t be surprised if Garcia was bunting for a hit on his own there.

2 for 2 with 5 RBI and a walk. He sucks. ( whatd up ptatc! ) ????????

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:58 PM) It only gets more weird man! I am 27, still feel pretty young, and now like 50% of major leaguers are younger than me! Its crazy. Funny, I’ve always thought you where in your 50s. And yes, calling the players “kids” became a thing for me about 10 years ago.... now, as a 35 year old man - it’s appropriate. ????

So long and thanks for all the fish.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 10:08 PM) Tyler Flowers finally put up some decent numbers with the Braves the last couple of seasons. Your sarcasm detector is obviously on the fritz.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 05:23 PM) Yeah, it's not like we've ever seen anyone with a low batting average, good eye, and good power succeed in MLB...oh, wait... And it’s not like he’s a finished product or anything. All hope is lost.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 12:10 PM) I thought he was in charge for Fulmer. Even so, the track record is poor. I don't think that Collins has hit above .260 at any level. Actually I looked it up and his best season average wise was his draft year, which he hit .258 in Kanny. He hit .230 last year. I don't think he's a major league hitter if he can't crack .240 at A+ Your evaluations are far too early and shortsighted, IMO. Also, my preference is to focus on the upcoming draft for this thread. Regarding the above posted mock draft, that sure would be interesting if picks 1 through 3 all went for pitching... giving us free reign to select any bat of our choice.

I’d like to go from 72 down to 56.

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Apr 15, 2018 -> 01:51 PM) Sale could have theoretically been traded for a different package as well. Ya don’t say!

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 15, 2018 -> 05:55 AM) Thanks but no problem. He/she couldn't defend his point so he resorted to name calling. It just bothers me when mods speak in ways in which they are here to oppose.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 14, 2018 -> 05:13 PM) Not even close How I’ve never seen this before is just beyond me

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 14, 2018 -> 05:56 PM) Adolfo is a f***ing beast. He already has the body of an in their prime major league slugger. If he can keep the K rate down, he’s gonna be an absolute monster. We would all absolutely love watching Adolfo and Eloy manning 2/3rds of our outfield for 5+ years. Their personal history along with The Bess attitude in baseball... fun times to hope for.
