QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 07:24 PM) Why did they pull Rodon so early? Why did they keep him in that long?

Maybe Beckham has trade value solely for his defense.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 06:43 PM) Samardzija and Boni gone right after break, shut Carlos down early He's got about 90 more innings in him. That should get him to the 3rd week of September.

I'm thinking no matter what the Sox do in the next 7-8 months, Hawk won't be calling more than 100 games next year. He sounds ready to go home, and I can't blame him.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 06:33 PM) Send him down. He didn't have command in Charlotte and he doesn't have it here. I was all for him getting at least 10 starts in Charlotte to begin with. Now that the Sox are done, he might as well get his innings with the Sox and be ready for 30+ starts in 2016.

Rodon really wanted to bat too.

This is shaping up to be one of those times you pull the plug early to protect his innings. Nobody will be watching Noesi anyway.

On the bright side, it doesn't help the Cubs.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) The Sox had a different manager the last 3 games. Didn't seem to help. Did you hesitate a little before you hit "add reply"?

Fine, I'll start it. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/610534029507588096 Could be dodging rain for two nights. Go Hawks!

Of course the Sox won't be aggressive enough to hire Black, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he manages again this season for somebody.

Hire Bud Black!

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 01:44 PM) Let's see how the next 25 games go. 26 games til the break. I'll say 11-15, and 39-48 overall.

If the Blue Jays hold their rotation, Buehrle will start at the Cell on July 6. He'll definitely start that series. Could be the last time.

If they traded Sale, it would mean they were overwhelmed. Overwhelm us. And while you're at it, listen on Quintana and Abreu too. Look, if your major league team sucks, you have to infuse the system with assets, and get back in line again. Obviously what they're trying to do isn't working, so they have to try something different even if a few fans don't like it.

Royals losing another off day for an interleague makeup game.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Francisco Lindor debut Sunday too. Didn't start today. Buxton 0-2 so far

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 03:15 PM) His Daily Herald article he tweeted out is a farce. Just another Reinsdorf lackey I've noticed he's doing some more TV hits with MLB Network and other outlets. With the Sox leaving the Score soon, I'm thinking he'll be out of the picture fairly soon. At least I hope so.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 03:11 PM) 2015 team will not be over .500 again. I agree, and after making some moves, a 90-loss season isn't out of the question. Single digit draft pick again next year. Same old stuff.

Going to be interesting to see what the roster looks like on August 1st. Because this season is...o-vah. Get to 2 under, and then immediately lose 3. What a joke.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 01:24 PM) Swing and misses: 14 Is he going for some type of record today? nevermind, I see the note

Back to today...the Rays have the "series win" in the bank already. Sale will either throw a no-hitter or strike out 20. Take your pick.

Besides Ventura, the entire coaching staff's contracts are up after this season. Just saying.

QUOTE (professa @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 10:42 AM) Why isn't Gillaspie playing vs a RHP??? That's bulls*** if you ask me Yeah, unless his foot is hurting, I don't get it. They're facing Liriano tomorrow, so Beckham can start then.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 10:37 AM) Ramirez should be benched. 47 days until the trade deadline. Can always hope.
