Only about 5 weeks overdue. Hope he enjoyed his vacation in the majors. Only excuse I can accept is side sessions with Coop.

Eh, no, that's ok Robin. Thanks though.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) He's under contract right? Unless you get back a 3rd basemen in a trade, they might as well keep him around. Moncada is being tried at 3B. This is obviously for purposes of the Moncada/Benintendi trade for Sale or Q in the offseason.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 02:18 AM) Why not? These games are meaningless and we need Sale and Q for next season and we want to lose to get better draft pick. So why not? Because 1) you owe it to fans to play your best players, 2) They are trade candidates, unless you feel like their value is over-inflated and you don't to hurt that value, but allowing them to throw 200+ IP helps prove durability in trade value, and 3) they are both award eligible and I would love to see them get that recognition.

Well this is stupid....what's the point in starting his clock? Unless they have 0 interest in making him a starter.

"When I observed him against Greensboro on July 20th, he made arguably the best catch I have ever witnessed." :o :o

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 13, 2016 -> 11:35 PM) You can use the stick but people have said it is a lot better using the fire or PS4. But my dad just got it as well and he said it has been working well and he can use his remote with it so maybe you should try it out. They give a free 7 day trial and you can get the best package they have You can also just get the Playstation TV to play Vue on. Costs $42 on Amazon.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 01:13 AM) I have a question for those on the board who want us to lose every game to get a better draft pick, the best possible draft pick. ... Would you be in favor of shutting down Sale and Q, even Robertson, the rest of the season? Why should they pitch the last two weeks of August and four weeks of September and risk injury or wear and tear? We are out of the race for sure. I would think you draftniks would prefer Sale and Q and Robertson simply sit and save their arms for next year. Just as you say there's no plausible reason for us to win any more games, there's equally no plausible reason for Sale and Q to risk injury in meaningless games. Please answer the question for me ... to those who want us to lose games ... should Sale, Q and even Robertson sit the rest of the season because they are virtually meaningless games and they are pitchers we want healthy as we try again next year? No.

Played for about 90 mins at my buddies house today. We spent half of that time in the menu screen, transferring items from the Exosuit to the ship, fixing/reloading our gun, fixing our radioactivity thing or whatever, fixing out suit or whatever. We got to explore very little because we had to tend to those needs every couple minutes, constantly running at full item capacity. My buddy thought it was alright, but regrets paying $60 for it. I definitely won't be jumping in to this now.

2/5, RBI, SB for Booker. Has 28 SB on the year.

http://mlbfarm.com/index.php?team=CWS Collins with an RBI single. He's 1 for 1.

QUOTE (TRU @ Aug 12, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) And then what, you all just sit there on that planet and go to work maybe have a beer at the bar then go home and do taxes? Now that is lame. Havent gotten the game yet, but definitely plan on it. The point of the game is to get to the center of the universe or some s***, its not as pointless as described in here there are things to do for specific reasons. Oh wow, that does sound fun!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 12, 2016 -> 08:57 AM) That would make sense, then its not just you exploring all the time. Right, my idea was exploring to build up your ship and find a habitable planet, but then once you do, staking claim to that planet and colonizing. Maybe continuing to explore other planets to capture animals that you may want to either let breed or let populate your new planet, having to balance a proper food chain and ecosystem for them, recovering fauna from other planets and possibly engineering ways to transplant them to your new planet as well, build up a colony that's inviting enough that when random computer generated people visit your planet, they offer you a price to own a part of your planet's land. You use that money to build up and trade for other parts you'll need to start farming or building shelters for these people. Then, the people who have bought land from you, their land starts to build up automatically with houses and farming and whatever else over time, that way the people who are cohabitating with you help build up your planet as well. I know know, just spitballing here.

Stumbled on this on the front page of MLB.com. http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/19504...ltimore-orioles

With the Sox loss tonight, they still have the 11th pick. 2.5 GB of the Phillies for the 10th pick 12 GB of the Braves for the 1st pick.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 11:22 PM) Ditto Absolutely. She's got a grade 80 turd-cutter.

Also, #CallUp

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 07:53 PM) How is his defense? If he can play a solid CF then he's easily a top six prospect in our system IMO. He was a good CF at Ball State, was said to be able to stick at CF, and he has so far. So until he moves to a corner OF, I would assume he's still a good defensive player.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 07:51 AM) No they can't offer him one. Had to be here from day one. And if they could I don't see a team signing him with a draft pick attached nor Morneau rejecting a 1 year/17 mill offer. And there have been examples of guys who have waited til mid-season to sign so they didn't have a chance of being offered a QO. Right, just wondering how the rule worked. Thanks.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 11:29 AM) So, whats the point of that game? Just endless crafting? I guess? I don't know man, I honestly don't understand the appeal, but then again, I love The Sims franchise and I realize there are a ton of gamers who don't see how those games are fun either, so I guess it's just to each their own.

I realize the chances are incredibly small, but someone humor me.... IF Morneau somehow went on a crazy tear and ended the year hitting like .325 with 15 HR or something, can the Sox offered him a QO? I know a player switching teams mid-season can't get offered a QO, but what about a player SIGNED mid-season?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) When I first looked at it I thought it was his teeth. I thought it was the fact that he was making a fist. The first shot of the bobblehead looks fine, the 2nd one looks bad (once the lips were pointed out).

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 05:34 AM) The first objective is to repair your busted ship and get off the planet. I was nearly done rebuilding my warp drive last night but am about 80k units short of getting the much-needed anti-matter to do so. The game does a great job of guiding you through objectives, and as dumb as this sounds, flying between planets and exploring is really awesome!! I was fully immersed last night, something that doesn't happen often for me in videogames anymore. I'm 3.5 hours in, so we'll see how much longer the excitement lasts. I know I'll be diving back in tonight. I watched some Twitch streams like night and every person I watched was just harvesting gold or other elements, going to a base to deposit them, and then going back out to do it again. Just seemed like constant farming for materials. I was kind of hoping you could discover a planet that is habitable for human life and start to colonize and then eventually populate the planet. Is it possible for societies to grow throughout the game?

Hansen has 42 Ks and only 11 H in 25 2/3 IP. His WHIP is 0.68. The guy has nothing left to prove in rookie-ball. Get him to Kanny or W-S for the love of god.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 07:24 PM) Personally, I don't see the point of him coming up this season. I would prefer if he went into the offseason conditioning as a starter and working as a starter in the minors to start the season. Yep, exactly. The only reason to call him up in 2016 was to help the playoff push. Playoff push is over....so let him continue to make 2 IP appearances in AA, then prepare in the offseason to start in 2017 in the minors.
