QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) Boom sucka Hey, I'm more than happy if he wants to make me look like an asshole by helping us win!

Shuck!

Who is up for the Tigers in the 9th?

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) Not sure what you expect from a 25th man. If they were any good they wouldn't be a 25th man. I expect at least one value adding skill that can be used situationally to help the team win games.

Someone needs to tell our announcer to stop jinxing our players.

Come on Melky! Rip one right here bud!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) Barely under replacement which is what you would expect from a 25th man. If he had +WAR value, he'd be playing more often. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Eaton at least was top 10 in avg vs LHP as of a couple of days ago. Agree to disagree.

Must score here.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) Shuck has had a down year but last year he was actually really productive. It didn't help that Jerry Sands was taking his reps earlier this year. Fangraphs had him as a negative hitter, defender, & base-runner last year and valued him at -0.3 WAR.

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.
