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

That's a great piece of hitting right there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:19 PM) When it comes to Boston, Yanks and Cubs, replay might as well be a popularity contest Seattle got a challenge right back that inning on Bryant attempting to steal home.

I don't know what the heck Joe Maddon was thinking leaving Jake Arrieta out there in the 8th

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) You know, I saw some snapstories on my feed of friends who were going to the game, but saw not a single tweet on my twitter timeline about the game, which always means they aren't winning. So now it makes sense. Bryant singles

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) Do you really think they will spend $50 million in salary next year to fill these positions with players who are actually good? Then what do they do in 2018 when Frazier, Lawrie and Melky's contracts are up? Spend another $50 million to replace. Now is the time to sell and rebuild the farm. This situation could not be any more ideal. Selling 2 of the top SP in the game and get back huge hauls for the future. Trading now will have you in a good position as early as 2018. Agreed. Rebuilding the farm does a couple of things. For one, farm players are cheap when they enter the league. Also, they allow your FO to decide how much they're willing to spend.

Cubs have yet to register a hit through 6 innings against Wade Miley.

I fully expect the White Sox to blow this. Just another year to be let down.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 01:30 PM) Hahn asking for the moon, as he should be. But I'm sure a bunch of you will find a way to fault him anyway. If they don't move a starter that's one thing, but they have been way too quiet for a team that's mired in mediocrity. Either get better or get worse. This current situation is unacceptable.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 11:09 AM) Not only that, but ones that are near major league ready. The less we develop these guys the better. This is both true and devastating. The waters are just so muddied in the minors.

Devastated by the news. So sorry for your loss, Jeremy.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 10:53 AM) If they deal both (really big if), I'm hoping one to Boston in a deal mostly centered for bats and then the other moved to the Dodgers in a deal centered around arms. I would rather get position prospects for each. The one thing this organization does well is draft arms. Draft the arms. Get other teams' positional talent.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) Sale for Mazara, Profar, Ortiz and Tate. Positively do not want Gallo or Brinson. That's a deal that won't get done right now, but I would do as well. Mazara is too much a piece of the Rangers for them to just ship him off now. At the end of the year, however.... QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) Profar and Mazara just hit back to back doubles Both are better young players than we have seen in a while, but I agree with the concerns over Profar's control. I still contend that if Gallo is a young Dunn, that's a compliment, because Dunn was really good as a young player.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) Sale and Q. We'd have a whole new lineup and farm system. definitely a farm system.

Morneau gets a classy response from the Twins faithful. Nearly a home run.
