QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) Just a small note but Profar is playing in the OF today Excuse my ignorance but what is the significance of this?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:36 AM) On the radio yesterday, Barry Rosner said the Rangers and Dodgers are the two teams really going after Sale. Doesn't seem like Boston is involved Translation: Boston is really the most aggressive in talks.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 04:26 AM) No chance. Betts for Sale would be a wash, give or take. They're not giving away the farm for Melky and Robertson. Exactly ( reference the part about sanity ).

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 12:10 AM) I hate to disillusion anyone but we imagine all perfect deals while history says we settle for an aged superstar. You can't disillusion an insane person. Edit: Welcome to Philosophy Hour with hi8is - come one in.

QUOTE (kwill @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 12:04 AM) I saw this idea floated out there a few times today. I can see the reasoning behind it. What do you guys think of Sale for McCutchen and Glasnow or Tallion? Pirates have Meadows waiting. We still get a young pitching prospect and a legit star. Only problem is McCutchen is controlled only though 2018. Cutch only has one more year of control - this, Meadows is the ask in his place.

Here's a crazy a f*** idea: Boston gets Sale, Melky, and Robertson White Sox get Betts, Moncada, Benintendi, Rodriguez, Devers, Kopech, Travis, and Owens As you can see... Monday needs to get here so my sanity can return.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) Sox have played 102 games this year. Have scored three runs or less in 49 of them. (48%). Sox have now lost 13 games where they allowed an opponent three runs or less. Mark That's multiples of retardation - nice stats Lip.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Scott MerkinVerified account ‏@scottmerkin Sale, who has all the jerseys he discarded Saturday, is hoping to do something charitable with the situation. Well hell, at least that's cool. #jerseygate

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:26 PM) If Kenny still doesn't know if the club will be buyers or sellers this weekend he obviously wasn't watching this game. Burn

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) Media really giving the Robin/front office questions to Sale. Can you summarize for us out of towners who can't watch the post game interviews, please?

BUT WE WON THE CUP!!!!!!

Can it be Monday yet, please?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 06:52 PM) Hawk hasn't been that bad this year He's had half the oppertunity to be bed.

Was that a strike too, blue?

Triple play time

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:47 PM) I haven't seen anything else anywhere. That would be funny if that's how it broke. Way to go scoreboard guy, way to go. I hacked the scoreboard

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:32 PM) His numbers from the first half of last year to the first half of this year were strikingly similar. 2015 to ASB GS 17 IP 119 R / ER 39 / 36 SO 157 ERA 2.72 FIP 2.27 2016 to ASB GS 18 IP 125 R / ER 49 / 47 SO 123 ERA 3.38 FIP 3.71 Very similar in innings pitched - which has been the proported reason for the change in approach. The other numbers are all headed in the wrong direction. If the new approach actually is projecting to assist in his long term health, it's worth it. If the goal is just soley to get him deeper into games, go back to the old methods.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:30 PM) Yup. This whole "strikeouts are actually bad because they don't let you go deep into games" thing he's got going on this year is absolute horses***, and Rick Hahn or somebody needs to explain this in detail to him and Don Cooper. Unfortunately he got really lucky pitching to contact early in the year and that's probably cemented the idea in their heads. His numbers from the first half of last year to the first half of this year were strikingly similar.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) You are correct. My question is what time on that day? Like 4pm central? 3pm central

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) His slider gets more publicity but his changeup has typically rated as his best Well, ya learn something new everyday.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:20 PM) 9 pitches to Dexter Fowler, no changeups. How can nobody from the Sox organisation not be pinning him down saying "throw your best pitch you idiot"? His change up is his best pitch?

Sale sure is looking rusty

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) Well then only one game pitched since all star game. Better be a no hitter or perfect game tonight Would be about time. Seriously, is this Sale guy even good? What gives: Chris??

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) LINK Ventura on #WhiteSox being sellers before Monday's deadline: "I don't think that's going to happen." ~ Scot Gregor's twitter I hope they sell you, Robin. Edit: Thanks for being a stand up guy for decades, for meeting with me as a kid multiple times in LA, and for trying. That said - the times come and is overdue.
