With a baseball game going on, Benetti starts talking Broadway musicals.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 08:17 PM) We still have Avi and HO-SAY! Avi's no slow-poke. He can move for a big fella.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) Engel can fly Watching him run, watching Leury flying around the bases, we've come a long way from watching Paulie and Dunn lumbering station to station.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 07:57 PM) Thank god he's retiring because most it's really not that big of an exaggeration. Yes, thank god we'll be getting twice the Sox Math than we get now because we really need more of that during a baseball broadcast.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 07:55 PM) "And that's a walk. You know, Stoney, back in 1955 before 80% of the people watchings parents were born, the best player to ever walk was Fasty McWiggington. He was an alcoholic, though. Drank like a fuel tank" Stone: "---" And that one right out of Exaggeration Station.

100 pitch mark

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 07:50 PM) I just can't take jason seriously, at all. My mom knows more about baseball than he does. Just the questions he is still asking Stone after 250+ games...it's like dude, come on, you should have picked that up by now. I prefer the dumb baseball questions over the nerdy shtick he likes to engage in often.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 07:44 PM) I think he'd genuinely like working with anybody not named Hawk.... They've worked well together this year and have churned out some nice broadcasts, despite the less-than-stellar product on the field.

Solid outfield defense can really be a lot of fun to watch, as we just saw.

Yolmer Sanchez is cool.

Crimony.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 6, 2017 -> 11:16 AM) Replace the SS with a better one - like Leury. 100% agree with this.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Aug 6, 2017 -> 11:03 AM) I thought this is a rebuild. The others who clearly don't look like they belong on a major league roster will never sniff playing time in a few years. With Delmonico it's possible so he gets looks. If Avi Garcia gets 9 lives Delmonico needs at least 3 or 4. It is a rebuild, but of a pitching staff, too. And it's going to be difficult to do that if they run out a defensive unit each day that gives up 30, 31 outs. Gotta catch that baseball for these young arms!

Our shortstop and right fielder lead the world in errors at their respective positions. Our first baseman is up there in errors himself and is below-average defensively. I like Delmonico's bat, but not sure it makes sense at this point in time to introduce yet another such defensive liability into the mix on a regular basis, particularly when a guy like Rodon is trying to turn the corner on potential ace status, and with the young guys Lopez and Giolito soon to arrive.

We already have today's version of Jurickson Profar. His name is Leury Garcia.

QUOTE (SEALgep @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 12:51 PM) https://www.google.com/amp/www.csnchicago.c...home-runs%3famp Teammates are loving this guy, great to see The kid has a fun swagger about him which, in addition to his immense potential as a player, lends itself to a lot of future fun following his career. Also doesn't hurt that he speaks English. He did an interview on the Score last month after the trade and I thought he comported himself quite nicely.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 06:22 PM) If the ascent to ace is happening, that would greatly speed up the rebuilding efforts. The pitching staff could very well be ready for the most part by 2019. Either way, this would be a great problem for us to have. In a perfect world Hahn finds a way to extend Rodon this offseason, although that's obviously a huge long-shot. Probably not likely with Mr. Boras representing Carlos.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 11:55 AM) I don't think Engel ever figures it out offensively and I would definitely play Luery over him in CF next year. And I honestly think Willy, Delmonico, & Cordell all deserve playing time over him in LF as well. Best case scenario IMO is Engel hits enough to be a solid 4th OF. Any way we could just combine Delmonico's bat and Engel's glove?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2017 -> 10:00 PM) Rodon was great, Yoan was great, Delmonico was great and team still lost. Nearly perfect tank game Perfect recap.

Yoan and Nicky trying to help us win this one late!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2017 -> 09:06 PM) Get the impression Hawk hates Anderson. Oh well, not the first guy dominated by Kimbrel He's been on this choking up, short bat kick as of late, and I think he's aiming those comments at TA.

QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 4, 2017 -> 08:38 PM) His last two starts are super encouraging. Well, he's the heir to the throne, in my opinion; meaning, we've had many, many years now of a lefty serving as the ace of the rotation, in Buehrle and Sale. Seems only fitting the baton now pass to Carlos.

10 strikeouts and ZERO walks over seven innings for Rodon.

This camera angle directly from center field but not too high is just perfect for gauging balls and strikes.

First of many hits from the right side by Yoan in a White Sox uniform!
