Quin

Just as we all predicted.

I wish we could generate runs.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) Great post. I know it's off topic but I was against the Melky signing from the beginning. Cheater in the past who would be a utility player at best if not for the cheating years. I wish they'd clean house. Everybody but me thought firing Ozzie would do wonders. That did nothing because a lot of bad baseball people remain aboard. In two seasons after Melky was caught he hit .293 with a .340 OBP and a .761 OPS. In one of those seasons he had a tumor on his spine. As for Ozzie, they actually competed in Robin's first season and you were saying that Ozzie and Buehrle would lead the Marlins to the WS.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 08:56 PM) All runs were unearned? Win win for us Buehrle fans lol. All four apparently.

Holy s*** what?!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) Um shouldn't Sanchez be pinch hit for at this point in the game ? You'd think so.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 08:50 PM) Yup Stone, I'm sure Flowers & Sanchez will make them pay for that error! The Dynamic Duo!

f*** f*** f*** f***

Go six straight Ks, OK Sale?

This is what it feels like to face the White Sox.

It's ok guys. They just want to get the ball to Sale faster.

f*** my life

"Avi's been swinging the bat very well" *strikes out* Goddamnit Stone.

Christopher, more strikeouts.

Eaton going for the Scotty Pods socks effect?

Stone, I don't think you understand. None of us want one pitch outs.

ESPN doesn't have Sale listed as a potential AL All-Star starter...

Only way the AL stands a chance is if the pitching dominates. Chris Sale needs to get that AS MVP.

Please god let Nate come back healthy.

Also...Minnie wasn't on the 59 team...

This makes me simultaneously very happy and very sad.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 5, 2015 -> 06:45 PM) Davidson is hitting in the .230's in AAA. What do you figure that translates to in the majors??? Recently he has been cutting down on his SO but has not hit any homers. Last I saw it looked like his defense was better. He is still a AAA level player but maybe by September he will get another shot. When a player is struggling, being promoted to the majors can really be a problem. Sanchez is a good example. He was really hot in AAA then went into a slump and they called him up in the middle of a slump. I don't know if it's fair to say Sanchez was in a slump. He had been hitting .417, we was due to come back to earth.

QUOTE (BigFinn @ Jul 4, 2015 -> 09:47 PM) The reason I brought up the Dodgers is that's where the prospects are right now. I just don't trust the Red Sox organization. According to John Sickels at minorleagueball.com Boston has the 2nd best minor league system in MLB. Cubs are #1; Twins, #3; Dodgers, #4; and Rangers, #5. The White Sox are stuck at #23. With the exception of the Red Sox, I'm OK with that thumb-nail sketch. I could see the Sox working a deal with the Cubs centered around Schwarber plus other prospects for Quintana. I could see the Sox hooking up with the Texas Rangers with a deal for catching prospect Jorge Alfaro. I've already mentioned my wish list from the Dodgers. Quintana, according to Fangraphs, was the tenth best pitcher in all of baseball last year. Right now he's tied for #30 with half a season to go. Quintana is a solid #2 to a close to #1 starting pitcher as a 26 year old with a cost-controlled contract through his age 31 season. On the Cubs, he would be their ace. Same for the Rangers. He'd be the #3 on the Dodgers, but the Dodgers may lose Greinke next year, so he would help provide depth for their rotation. If any of those teams, or any other contenders, want Quintana, they should have to pay dearly to get him. And apologies, it's Joc Pederson, not Peterson. This post is beautiful.
