Jimenez single

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 05:00 PM) We might catch Detroit, they are really really bad. The four game series in Detroit is scary. A split would be nice. Again, four losses per week, the Sox will have #3.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 03:17 PM) 4 losses per week for five weeks. That is my wish. Can't complain. They lost four games. 11-16 the rest of the way should lock up 3rd.

Based on first 135 games: 1. Phi 51-84 2. SF 53-82 3. Sox 54-81 4. Cin 58-77 5. Oak 58-77 6. Det 58-77 7. NYM 58-77 8. SD 60-75 9. Atl 60-75 10. Tor 62-73

Sox back at .400 with 27 left. Every 27 this season: 15-12 9-18 12-15 5-22 13-14 We could use a single digit ending.

Phillies won. Need ya, Giants.

7-inning one hitter for Dunning. No walks, 9 k. Have a good offseason, young man.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 01:45 PM) Just was gonna chime in with the same sentiment... he looks like a big leaguer. I think the Gavin Floyd comps may be a bit light. Agreed. There's an intelligence to the way he pitches that's refreshing to see.

I'd bet a crisp one dollar bill the Tigers end up with the 4th pick.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 01:22 PM) Dunning 7 strikeouts through 5 on 58 pitches. What an incredible performance so far. He may go the distance The distance is seven innings since it's a doubleheader.

I'll take 28 losses that end 4-3.

Holmberg is starting Tuesday vs Indians. Holland to the pen.

To answer the question about the point of DL-ing a guy in September, it's an insurance thing.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 11:31 AM) He might be a top 10 overall prospect right now. They found the guy they've been waiting decades to get in Intl FA and immediately traded him for James Shields. Honestly, its got a solid chance of going down as a worse trade than the Shelby Miller deal. But it involves the White Sox and Padres, so nobody will ever talk about it nationally. I hope it's something we can chuckle at five years from now after a parade or something.

The more I think about this, the more I hope they find a way to trade him this offseason. I could see the Marlins or Cardinals having room for him next season. Kinda depends on what the Marlins new ownership wants to do.

Abreu wasn't going to play today, but will. Saladino was scratched with a hand injury.

QUOTE (South Sider @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 10:03 AM) I think the potential upside to Avi continuing to do what he's doing is worth more than a relief arm and a lotto ticket. I only trade him in the offseason if an offer bowls me over. If not, I am more than happy to roll the dice and see what we get out of him next year. If he keeps hitting like this, his value only goes up. Perhaps next years trade deadline would be a more appropriate setting. Even if the right offer never comes along, all things remaining equal he could be a nice piece to have on the next competitive Sox team. It'd be nice to see the Sox patience with him pay off. I agree with this. The only thing I wouldn't do with Avi now is extend him.

Sox need to go 2-6 or worse the rest of the homestand. Lose today, lose 3 of 4 from Cleveland, lose 2 of 3 from San Francisco

Saturday: Phillies lost, Giants won, Sox won, Reds lost, A's lost 29 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Phillies(27) - 31 2. Giants(24) - 27 3. White Sox(28) 4. Reds(26) - 24 5. A's(27) - 24

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 2, 2017 -> 08:53 PM) Game is back on. Liriano K's. Fulmer coming in to pitch. I'm intrigued.

Kopech, Hansen, Lopez, Dunning...mercy

Giddy up!

Giants tie up the Cardinals in the 9th, 1-1. Always let your starter finish 1-0 shutout. Always.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) I am confused. Why did they put Leury on the DL? Rosters have expanded. Maybe there is no way he can play in 10 days, but isn't it pretty unnecessary? I thought the same thing. Maybe there's some technical service time thing involved that they have to do it. A few weird things have popped up with the new CBA. Maybe this is one of them.
