I'm rooting for a five of Kopech, Lopez, Giolito, Dunning, Adams. Cease in the pen. Rodon traded for more assets.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 08:41 PM) Shields had a good first few innings and can't even get an out in the 5th....fire someone involved with the trade My vote is for Shields himself.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 06:24 PM) The Sox are somehow going to win this game. I just have that feeling. I feel you're mistaken.

Sounds like Lopez is starting tonight, but Hahn is hinting a promotion is coming.

QUOTE (pablo @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) Why throw Lopez into the fire against the Cubs in front of a packed stadium? Let him pitch today in AAA and bring him up Monday/Tuesday for a start against the Jays. Lopez pitched in the postseason. McCarthy debuted against the Cubs, and he's been in the big leagues for 13 years.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 11:06 AM) I'd rather see Minaya than any of the other stiffs in the pen at this point, he actually has decent numbers this year. Infante then. Just want to see Lopez in the rotation.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 10:50 AM) Sox reinstate Petricka from DL. Cool. Still hope they drop Minaya tomorrow for Lopez.

Not surprised. If the Cubs didn't win last year, there's no way Q is on the Cubs now.

It's definitely a trap following prospects day to day. I just hope Collins is the catcher of the future, because having a stable, reliable catcher is going to be one of the biggest keys to the rebuild. I hope a first rounder like Collins is that guy, but if it's Skoug or Zavala that's great too. Just somebody.

So what do you think? Traded by Monday afternoon, or August waiver deal? Starting to think the latter.

Dedelow a single away from a cycle in the 4th inning.

Cordell hasn't played in a month with a back injury.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) Who gets called up? Jake Petricka maybe? Maybe. I like the Lopez starting Thursday idea.

Wonder if Collins is feeling the long season at this point. Not an excuse, but it's new for him catching most days for months at a time.

I circled 8 names on the roster at the break. 5 are gone. Melky, Gonzalez, and Holland are left. Holland might be wishful thinking.

Danny Farquhar, come on down!

Gotta figure if Rosenthal is saying it, it's been nice knowing you Anthony.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 05:04 PM) 303 and falling fast Ha, I was just looking at that. He's going from a great year to a very good year with 65 games left.

Can't fall to 4th.

Expand your zone with two strikes.

QUOTE (turnin' two @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 03:46 PM) Huh? The antics all game, every game are stupid. There's no sense of the moment anymore and I think it's bad for the game. Some will disagree, and that's fine.

I'm glad the Sox won their World Series when players still knew how to act like professionals.

Len Kasper is a word I can't use here. Use your imagination.
