QUOTE (Quin @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 09:20 PM) I think you're half as close as half as you would like; and I think less than half of you is right as well as you deserve. And we both know I am 100% right on how the astute Sox fan base has treated young players throughout the years.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 09:09 PM) Kitekrazy is closer to the truth than you give him credit for I think I'm closer to the truth than you give Sox fans credit for.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) Everyone but Frank Thomas. Nah, I don't agree with that. Our beleaguered fan base has usually been pretty welcoming to young players being brought in. The young infusion of players in the early 90s and then again in the early 00s seemed to be received well by the base. I think the same sort of reception is happening as we speak as this first wave of young players are now arriving.

You gotta be bleepin' me with the play at second! Way to go, Jose!

Benetti dusting off the 30 year old Duane Kuiper-home-run-off-of-Stone joke started by Harry Caray in the '80s.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 07:59 PM) You just start listing names. And don't leave someone out because you,me or a few others supported them. There have been some wantng Avi gone, Saladino and Leury gone, same for Sanchez and Anderson Its natural for fans to be impatient, especially if certain guys come tagged with certain hype (e.g., Avi in 2013 being billed as "Little Miggy"). More importantly, our fans are no different than other fans. Twins fans were just as cynical of Buxton up until this season as our fans were on the guys you listed.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 07:45 PM) I agree with you but I wish Sox fans would give our young players the same benefit of a chance to develop.it seemed at first Buxton was never going to hit. Which players have Sox fans not given this benefit to?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 07:41 PM) Engel is a terrible hitter. Big league glove, A ball bat He's going to need to go back down next season and improve that bat at least a little to justify even being a backup outfielder in the Majors, no matter how elite his defense is.

The Mark Buehrle bobblehead doll looks like a repurposed G. I. Joe action figure.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 29, 2017 -> 06:43 PM) Another great example of the fact that guys who are raw can take some time to develop. That's baseball.

Where b Hawkeroo?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 05:26 AM) That should pay a big chunk of Luis Robert's bonus. The massive revenue the team takes in from its current TV and radio contracts, along with the guaranteed profits courtesy of the sweetheart lease deal, paid for Robert's bonus long before this windfall came along.

Beautiful catch by Engel, and much needed given the circumstances.

Benetti is in serious need of a broadcast coach.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 07:15 PM) Moncada with the base running He's like a missile coming into plate/base with his headfirst slides.

"Scout school"

Yolmer homer time!

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 06:26 PM) ok...if I'm switching over the listen to Blyleven...you know I'm really am sick of Benetti. Yeah, speaking of making adjustments, I still cannot get used to his schtick. He can't seem to get enough of it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 06:22 PM) Another K looking, only swinging once that at bat. Classic case of you just have to keep running him up there and hope he makes the adjustments sooner rather than later. Luckily with this garbage season on our laps the team has the luxury of withstanding his learning curve.

Nice, effortless first inning for Holland. Hopefully more of that to come this evening.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 09:04 PM) Don't forget Leury who doubled to set up the Moncada RBI, homered earlier and had that amazing catch. Leury had a terrific, all around game.

Walk it off, Timmy! Let's go!

Good at-bat by Avi to start the 9th. 2013-2016 Avi probably doesn't have that kind of at-bat.

Yoan coming through with two strikes, big time! Great at-bat! Game tied.

Leury having a nice game for himself, offensively and defensively.
