God, it's like playing ourselves

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) I mean, it would be a big setback if they blew another high draft pick on a bust, rebuild or no. It's too early to tell, but he stunk at AA until he reverted to his old, violent mechanics, the ones that make him likely to be a reliever. Now he's a reliever and he still stinks. That's true. He fills a starter spot, but it would totally suck if he's not part of the future "Good White Sox"

My connection to the boards is flipping out. Sorry for the double post. And the apology post.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:16 PM) Fulmer has no business being in the majors at this point in his career. He needs to be in the minors. This organization is pathetic. Unfortunately, this organization has done nothing in the last few years to warrant any kind of confidence from the fanbase. It's the fundamental flaw in my belief that I the team needs to blow this thing up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) My only hope with Fulmer is his velocity is down due to change in warming up pattern I'm not ready to call Fulmer a bust or anything, but this can't be good for his development.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) Guys, I don't know if Carson Fulmer is going to be a good pitcher. Too early to tell, but he's completely out of his element in the pen in the major leagues. If we went full rebuild, it wouldn't really matter if Fulmer was good or not.

Fulmer has got to go back to starting in the minors.

The kids announcing the players is bizarre.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) So are we actively trying to move Melky? He is definitely doing his best to help us out... I feel like we should be but we're not.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Here we go with this nonsense again. What are we even arguing about?

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)
