Where does Wilton Guerrero fall into this? Second cousin, twice removed? Uncle?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 08:29 PM) He's already failed his audition. The bunting is absurd. Is he on a one-year deal? I'd move on after this season, keep trying guys til we pick the right one. 3 yr deal, chief.

Draft order based on first 54 games: 1. Phi 19-35 2. SD 21-33 3. SF 22-32 4. Oak 23-31 5. Mia 23-31 6. Atl 24-30 7. Sox 24-30 8. Pit 24-30 9. KC 24-30 10. NYM 24-30

Nationals are going to need a bullpen eventually. Package deal could net a nice prospect.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 05:19 PM) LOL. I was joking. Sorry dude. Should have added the sarcasm font. I was kidding around too. Fathom is a great Soxtalk poster. I'm captain obvious 90% of the time.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 05:13 PM) The problem is "fathom" looks way the hell too much like "flavum" which is confusing as f*** and I think I may have misappropriated opinions to one or the other. This again? We're both fans of the rebuild. I'm less likely to armchair manage and point out player's shortcomings- mostly because I can't watch this s*** too much.

Oh, believe me. I gave up on Q getting traded in-season a long time ago.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 04:45 PM) That would be nice, but I wouldn't go as far as he "needs" anything. Tell him that. His ERA is 5.60.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 04:43 PM) Or...? 9 innings, 2 or fewer? He needs a great start!

Quintana needs 8 innings, 2 or fewer, Tuesday night.

If the Sox don't have the 2nd worst record in baseball two weeks from today, I'll be very surprised. Ok, maybe 4th...

QUOTE (Soha @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 04:25 PM) And the Sox are now tied with the A's for the worst record in the AL. Wow, there it is... http://www.espn.com/mlb/standings/_/group/league

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 04:05 PM) What's that? Pitcher has to face a minimum of two batters? Yes, it's been talked about. I'm not sure it's doable because of injuries, but I wish they could do something to speed it up. I don't know why they can't have the game and advertising going at the same time. It could save 30-45 seconds every half inning.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 04:02 PM) Not much you can do about that. How about the two batter rule?

I would trade Avi in a second. Wonder if other teams are buying this start.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 03:58 PM) Never bought into their hurry the game up stuff. The game should take as long as needed Too much time between pitches. Too many s***ty relievers.

Going to be over 4 hours for 9 innings. Hi Manfred.

Let's see if we can get this loss in under 4 hours. 22 minutes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 03:41 PM) Renteria never learns. What a joke He is brutal with the small ball. Maybe he'll change with time and some guidance.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 03:38 PM) The usual doubters have been silenced forvtge time being as we are now tied at 4. LOL Happy about Anderson. Hope the Sox win if Robertson goes for a save. Forvtge? Is that like covfefe?

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 03:22 PM) On draft night last year they were in contention and I think the plan was for him to be up before the end of the season. It was a bad pick then and looks even worse now that they're in a rebuild. Right. It was a win-now pick. Collins was the #1 pick for the future, and Burdi was the bonus pick they talked themselves into thinking he could help in the stretch drive, a la Finnegan for the Royals. Burdi may still be a good piece to the rebuild, but you never know with power arms.

3 hours for 6 innings. At least there won't be a bottom of the 9th.

I'm not watching either way. Just noticed they played the first three innings in 1:20. I want the Sox to lose 93 games this year.

On pace for 4 hours. Brilliant.
