Chicago White Sox

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) Didn't JB save a run tonight? Why do you pull one random play out of your ass and act as if it makes up for all the s***tiness? J.B. Shuck is a bad baseball player who offers no plus skills and serves as a poor bench player. There's really no argument here.

Shuck is so bad. Really wish we'd call up someone at AAA who could provide more utility. Don't care if that is Danny Hayes or Luery Garcia as long as I never have to see J.B. again.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 09:05 PM) Lawrie now at .236...blech. Well, now .235... 30% K rate, which is 50% worse than his career average and 25% worse than last year.

Need to score some runs soon, although not optimistic this inning.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) Lol, no worries because all is well. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/184...utfield-defense See, nothing to panic about when it comes to Avi's defense. That is one of the worst fluff pieces I have ever seen. Scott Merkin should be embarrassed.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 06:22 PM) Okay, do moderators want me to copy and paste the whole article so that EVERYONE can read it and comment about that instead of not reading it and making snarky comments? YES/NO??? And I'd love to hear ideas that don't give away half the farm system. Pearce from the Rays is one of the few that wouldn't...but even trading for him right now, as hot as he is, they're going to ask for a lot more than he's worth (let's say Spencer Adams). At least with Puig, you're applying the James Shields principle of buying low...the problem is if you're still not buying low enough. Caulfield, raBBit's point is you created a thread about Avi Garcia and then only talk Puig in your comments. No one is ripping your Puig trade idea, but rather your inability to create a post that stays on topic from start to finish.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) Melky has played singles into triples for two nights in a row. Melky is also our best hitter...little different situations.

Fulmer pitching very well again tonight.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) Your looking at it end hindsight with blinders on. It might not have been the best decision but only a stellar heads up play resulted in the run not scoring. If he swung away and struck out then what would you say. Why are we playing for one run when we're down by 4 and our best hitters coming up? It's f***ing stupid and you know it.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) Eaton absolutely chose that. But terrible baseball IQ and fundamentals are reflective of the manager. This. So much this.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:26 PM) That was dumb but I think Eaton chose to do that one. Wasn't a suicide and Anderson was kind of caught off guard there Perhaps, but why does Eaton have the ability to make that call? You're really going to try a surprise bunt and not have Anderson running on contact? That falls on the coaching staff.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Just horrible baseball. Fire Robin QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) God just fire robinnow QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Stupid idea there Mind boggling decision after mind boggling decision and yet Robin's supporters stand their ground.

Lol...WTF was that!?!

Anderson is a f***ing stud!!!

We need to get out of this inning down three.

If Avi's throw comes closer to home plate that's an out.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:02 PM) Per stryker and alexei saladino is a garbage AAAA player. Two brilliant soxtalk posters. Lol...of all things to hate, I've never understood how Saladino could be a target.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) I don't buy the showcase angle I'm one of Robin's biggest haters and I can't believe he'd be this stupid. But seriously, what's the point of showcasing a guy who has been proven to be terrible defensively. Don't even know what to think anymore. But I don't have managerial or GM experience, so maybe I shouldn't question Ventura or Hahn here.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) Garcia is an absolute disaster. Why the hell is he playing? FIFY

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) Myers is not getting traded, stupid he was even on list. Well that's true too.

Someone should be fired tonight for this Avi nonsense. I can't believe Robin would be this stupid to start him in RF, has to be Hahn trying to showcase, which is beyond ridiculous given how bad he is out there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) We didn't. But everyone keeps trying to add these overpriced veterans that will wipe out the rest of the farm system. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/183970840 White Sox now having their name attached to Wil Myers. Some interesting names but probably no season changers. Do you just make up your own narratives? That article simply says the Sox would be a good fit for Myers, it doesn't suggest there has been anything connecting us to him.

We'll need to score a bunch more runs or have Robin ejected to win this one tonight.

The new Zelda games looks & sounds incredible. Moving in a lot of fresh directions while keeping the core intact. Really sucks it's not coming out until next year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 04:11 PM) I don't think it is wrong to point out the experience level difference. Just because you traded a stock or watched CNBC, it doesn't mean you know investing as well as Warren Buffet. Baseball isn't any different. And from a practical standpoint, the management staff is going to be privy to information that none of us have, and probably will never know. I mean even if we are just talking about understanding the personalities of his players, how would we know that stuff? Like it or not, there is an advantage from having done something for decades on an intimate and personal level that people outside of the game will never have. If only Robin was the Warren Buffet of managers
