Quin

Meanwhile, Trout just murdered that.

I want Sale in the ASG

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 03:30 PM) Well one thing to point out is, you would only be able to acquire 1 player on loan (so it isn't as if you could acquire a new roster...just one guy). I do agree, that it would mean numerous stars trade hands. It could also be extremely exciting. Maybe you add an extra wrinkle that you could only do it every other year (which would further dilute what changes hands). The big wild card is what happens when an injury happens and well, lets be honest, they would happen. You also lose the ability to control the pitch counts, etc, of your player so they could run your pitcher into the ground and thus sets you back the following year. I would think this would be a major benefit for small market teams. While rebuilding, they might have a star player who they could leverage to gain more assets (and thus rebuild faster). When I first read the title I thought I would totally hate it, but when I read the restrictions put in place and fact that money wasn't really going to be the factor, it became far more intriguing. The restrictions make it intriguing, but this just seems like such a bad idea. And I know FanGraphs has the Sox at 7.8% chance of making the playoffs, but what if Sale and Abreu lead them to the second WC spot? That's way more exciting. I also feel like we'd see "White Flag" trades every year as stars start to demand being put on loan.

It would be fascinating, but I think I'd hate to see it. Chris Sale wins the World Series in Houston. Decided he likes it there. Demands a trade to Houston.

Bummer on Hickman. Was really hoping he'd sign.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) This new HR derby format is pretty awesome. However, I feel like both hitters should only do the bonus 30 seconds if they are tied. Big fan of the new format, just confused by the bonus time. Loved Frazier's approach. Don't watch. Just keep hitting.

Both Cubs are out.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 07:50 PM) Crazy round. I begrudgingly admit these new rules are amazing. I'm enjoying it because Prince watched all his shots whereas Frazier just decided to go nuts.

Hot damn.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) Don't steal Hawks calls Berman The execution was so poor.

I love how concerned Rizzo looks.

This type of move is the opposite of what the Sox should do - if they're buying or selling.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 02:00 AM) The problem is Boni is making good money like Keppinger was, right? It's tough to release guys making a few bucks. I bet Saladino does go down. I'd prefer simply releasing either Beckham or Boni. Either one. Release one of the two. Boni is making peanuts.

Terrible call by the ump.

EB why

This is damn near impossible to tell. Fowler will be called safe.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 12, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) Q is not sale. He got the job done though. He's also not Danks. And Kris Bryant doesn't understand Q either.

Run manufacturing! Also, the hell is this ump's strikezone?

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 12, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) why are we not pinch hitting here Because Q is only at 73 pitches?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 12, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) And another bad strike call. Sanchez doubles anyway! Sanchez* Unless my MLB.tv is WAY behind

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 10:53 PM) His weight is too far forward for that. If it is than his entire upper body is lagging behind. If ptatc is concerned, I'm also concerned. Hoping for the best. Also, what would the pen look like when Jones returns? The locks... CL - Robertson SU - Jones SU - Duke MR - Putnam MR - Petricka Then there's Webb and Jennings. Even Danks if he continues to flounder and EJ and Drabek continue throwing well in AAA. My guess is Jennings would be the one gone if Danks comes in.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) In modern day baseball, competing for the WC is all that matters. With this pitching, there is zero doubt this team can win October. They just might not be good enough to get there. October is a crap shoot where your odds are helped by stud pitching And herein lies the most frustrating part of the season

If Saladino is here to stay, it'll be interesting to see who's dropped
