Hawk is going to cry all the way to NY tonight. But let's face it....it was either a trade before Sep 1, or he was getting non-tendered. Carlos Sanchez will meet the team in NYC.

Hawkins (19)

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 04:52 PM) Anybody think Hahn has talked to Konerko about going to a contender for his last hurray? No. They're doing a whole marketing thing in September built around Konerko. He's finishing with the Sox.

Orioles are a good team.

55 pitches through 3. Might be done.

Donnie Murphy sac fly. 2-1

Couple walks, a hit, bases loaded, one out. Rodon has 10 pitches left tonight.

I'd be perfectly happy with a 6 man rotation in September. Maybe Rodon gets four starts. 9-6 at Cleveland 9-12 vs Minnesota 9-19 at Tampa Bay 9-25 vs Kansas City Two home. Two away. Forget that bullpen horses***.

Sometimes it's better not to know how the sausage is made.

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 10:05 PM) Hawk says to Steve, "I can't take this s*** no more. Take over." Hawk is way past his expiration date. It's really sad.

Not sure if it was mentioned somewhere else, but Buddy Bell said Spencer Adams' next start would be for Great Falls.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 07:05 PM) 3 starrts, then he joins Chicago bullpen, according to Stoney today. I think that was the original plan (the bullpen), but I'm wondering if they possibly scrapped that and he'll get into a 6 man rotation--especially after September 5th when there's only one off day left. So maybe Stone is going by old information. But I definitely think they have every intention of Rodon starting in the rotation from the beginning of the season in 2015. Now that they know what they have with Jose Abreu, they have to at least try to field a team that has a chance of winning. Starting Scott Carroll over Carlos Rodon wouldn't be a good move. So hopefully 2015-2020 Rodon and Sale put up 190 starts each, and the team wins games and get in the playoffs.

Who saw Rondon hitting .272 in Winston? I sure didn't.

3.2 innings. 61 pitches. Leaves on 2 Ks.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 07:03 PM) Maybe. But would prefer to see him stick with the Dash and get that talented team into the playoffs...if he does gets promoted, I would guess he will go Birmingham first, fwiw. Yeah, maybe. Just going by Sale's minor league year. He skipped over Birmingham.

Just move Rodon to Charlotte after tonight. He's up in three weeks anyway.

Michalczewski RBI single. Pronounced Mee-ow-ches-ski. I think that's what he's saying.

Rondon made an error to put Rodon in trouble. Jake Peter made a run saving play. Pitched out of it.

Oh yeah, Rodon is pitching.

I think the ruling last night was more wrong than the ruling today. That said, the rule needs to change. Just my opinion, but the only thing they should outlaw is a runner "blowing up" a catcher. Get there in time or be out.

I hope Sale goes every six days the rest of the season (with Rodon getting a few September starts), and then the final game vs the Royals, which could be an important game...plus to send out Paulie with a win hopefully.

Didn't watch much today, but I actually agree with Hawk that maybe he should just sit in San Francisco. Maybe just take BP on Wednesday and be ready to pinch hit, but otherwise, get Abreu's sea legs back.

Good. I hope the Mariners and Royals go down to the end for the 2nd wildcard, and the Sox have something to say about it the final weekend. It would be cool if Paulie got a big hit to knock the Royals out on the last day of the season.

Really hope Avi has a big career ahead of him.
