Just saw Sale bang the side of his head with a ball. But hey, double digit Ks and that's all that matters.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 06:56 PM) No way, the Giants and Phillies got the top 2 spots on lock. I'd like to see who is left on the White Sox and Giants rosters on August 1st before ruling the Sox out of the 2-spot. Fangraphs still has the Giants winning 71 games and the Sox 68 games. As long as the Sox don't get to 70 wins, I'll be happy with whatever draft position they get--unless they get to 69 by sweeping the Indians the final weekend, and it costs them a spot or two.

Padres -Phillies this weekend. If the Sox get swept in Colorado, decent chance they'll be 3rd at the break.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 10:23 AM) I would not mind keeping Moncada in the minors until next June or so to gain additional control. It's not as if he could not use some more time in the minors before being moved to the majors full time. His defense still needs work and another few months in the minors can't hurt him. We have to remember he only recently turned 22 years old and we have no reason to rush him up and burn service time on a rebuilding club. While all true, I highly doubt this will happen. This team could look drastically different on August 1st, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Moncada gets two full months with the Sox this year.

The Sox are 2 games away from being the 3rd pick, and 2 games the other way from being the 10th pick. Off day in Denver. 95 degrees. Maybe go for a hike?

Doolittle was wasting one high and Frazier swung hard and hit it out. Trade value, baby. 1-5 vs Oakland could be one of the best things to come from this season.

August and September there should be a lot of tandem starts going on.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 03:51 PM) This is quite the inefficient outing 90 pitches in three innings!

How homefield advantage should be determined... Eliminate divisions in leagues. Play a close to balanced schedule Top 5 teams in each league make the playoffs Top seed gets HFA regardless of win total. So if a 2-seed has 92 wins in the AL, and a 3-seed in the NL has more, it still goes to the AL. If it's the same seed and win total, then some other tie breaker would need to be implemented.

It was always a bad rule to determine home field advantage. Glad it's ended. That said, I think this will be by far, the lowest rated all star game-- but it won't be because of the change back.

The first homer video was cool, but short season stats mean nothing to me.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 12:37 AM) Alone in 6th... The three teams above and the four teams below the Sox won yesterday. It was a good day for a loss.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 06:08 PM) There is too much competence on this team for them to bottom out completely. I'd love a top 3 pick but it's not going to happen. Hopefully they make up for that lost value on the trade market later this month. I'd settle for 4th or 5th. Still better than 8-10. Get under .444 and stay there. The draft position should be good enough.

I changed my mind on Q. He's going, and he'll be first- July 26.

Shields vs Gossett Happy 4th everybody.

6 to 9 in one day. Under .444 - good Over .444 - bad

Robertson on the Paternity List. Gregory Infante up.

Rodon vs Cotton 14 games the next three weeks. How about 3-11, and then beat the Cubs four straight?

Montero and cash to Toronto for a PTBNL.

Hey Escoboza- stop hitting our future 3B

Double Burger The puns are endless.

Lenyn Sosa doing well as a 17-yr old SS.
