QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) Some gripe about the bad baseball that's being played. Others, like yourself, gripe about the people griping about the bad baseball. At the end of the day, it's both griping. That's kind of the issue with stock down baseball. This team isn't going anywhere and they're not doing anything about it as of yet. I would be okay with being terrible for a season or two if we had prospects worth mentioning. This "worse than expected" disappointment wears down any fanbase.

The Twins suck.

Asdrubal Cabrera is injured? They can have Melky for the right price. They won't even have to reprint unis

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) Tear this down already and get rid of this garbage. It's a tough watch, for sure. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) If only we could all live in this fantasyland where only you reside. Meh. It could have been worse, I suppose. I am glad at least some people on the board can find the bright side. Prevents this place from becoming overwhelmed with toxicity.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) Like I said, Robin has many faults, but you can't pin every little thing on him. Especially when a veteran that had been with the team for half a season does something stupid Depends whether or not you feel that the hiccups by our players are symptomatic of a bigger issue. I don't care much about Frazier, but that Anderson blunder isn't okay.

Rodon pitching batting practice.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:03 PM) Scored a run but Amderson with a stupid base running blunder.. How the hell can these guys be this damn clueless. One bad play does not make a bad coach, but multiple seasons of dumb plays is a reflection on bad coaching.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:01 PM) 14 hours away? Thought it was in the afternoon. I think he meant to say 24 Darn it, Anderson

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) I feel like Rodon is never going to be the ace we all thought he would be Never is a really long time.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:46 PM) Absolutely, I'm fine with that too. I'm just saying how brutal it's going to be watching these games. I am all for bringing in another top 10 draft pick. A complete detonation of this team could not be worse than what we have already seen.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 10:53 AM) Only 2? I'm thinking they could make 4-6 more if they really wanted to. An FO with any gaul would do such a thing, but this is Kenny Williams and his puppet Rick Hahn. Who knows what could happen in the next 24 hours?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) They're only trading him if they get an overwhelming offer. That's why he hasn't been moved. But to keep sucking and not try something else is silly. I'm not advocating trading him just to trade him but the deal needs to be right. I think it'll be this offseason. It's worse than silly. It's gross mismanagement.

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) Fair enough. But the overriding points remain: 1. Sale is (currently) too valuable to be traded. 2. Trading just to trade is one reason why this organizationis mired in mediocrity. No one is too valuable to be traded. Everyone has a price when your team is consistently this bad

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) I would say most people have given up on this s*** team.. Everyone except Kenny and Hahn, who have two days to wipe the deer in the headlights look and move over performing assets (and maybe a starter if the price is right)

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) It's interesting that he and Stone have been openly discussing this so much. It makes for reasonably good discussion, as Stone is asking Hawk relevant questions regarding his GM experience (short as it was)

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 06:45 PM) Hawk just said on the broadcast that the Rangers are trying to get Sale AND Quintana?? Huh? No way they would want to trade their entire farm for both...I mean, it would have to be like.... Odor, Gallo, Mazara, Tate, Brinson, Ortiz, Ibanez, and Cordell? I mean, that's never going to happen. I think he meant they're interested in both. I don't think anyone really has a reasonable package to land both players. Although Sale, Darvish, Q, Hamels? Holy crap.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) Holy Moly. I just looked at the lineup. My condolences if you have eaten in the last three or so hours.

Hawk just said something I genuinely agree with. The Sox can deal with the Cubs. Just has to be the right deal. Well said, Hawk.

It seriously looks like it's 900 ft out to center field.

What is Avi even swinging at?

I like Tyler. I keep thinking I'm fooling myself liking Tyler, but he continues to be a surprise.

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 05:49 PM) Personally, if it was me, I would keep Q and deal Sale. You may actually have the chance to resign him after 2020, if you so choose. Sale is an ace, but he can potentially bring you the greatest value. And we never truly know if his arm will snap or not, NO JYNXES. Q may be less of a risk and can still potentially take the anchor. Maybe on Q, but not Sale. If we keep going up in flames every year, Sale will leave for a winner.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) That's an impressive lineup This lineup is the reason you might as well sell this year.

Garbage lineup.

Meltdown in the 8th. 3-1 Mariners
