QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) Because he was hitting .213. I think it's pretty s***ty to be a hugely negative factor for your team and expect to compete in a meaningless All-Star competition. Stanton was hitting 230. Got a beef with him doing it too?

Just happened. 2 officers confirmed dead. Gunman said to be killed by police as well. Unbelievable and so sad.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 10:05 AM) The Sox won't give Saladino 1 or 2 spot starts a week in this bottom 1/3 offense; they certainly won't use him as pinch hitter for one of their best hitters (or one they perceive as such). The reality is that Saladino has improved a lot as a hitter this year (albeit in a small sample size). But once the White Sox org. deems someone, especially a young player, as worthy of a limited role, that's that. As for Frazier, I certainly hope he had a rousing, delightful time playing home run derby, he so begged the Sox to allow him to do. Why are you grilling Frazier for participating in the HR derby? Who cares?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) You guys can call me a troll all you want......but if the 9th inning was played my way (and the way I believe any major league manager with smarts would have played it), we would have broken the scoring drought and had a tied ball game. Instead, the "common sense" way you argue for allowed the team to continue its streak of futility and post another loss. Sure, I'm a troll for arguing for the option which would have provided this team with an opportunity to win. Bunt with your 3 hitter? Enough dude. No manager would bunt with their 3 hitter who was 2-3 before that at bat.

QUOTE (Special K @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 08:33 AM) We just used our top draft pick to nab a catcher for the future. Why would we trade the farm for a guy to come and catch to try and save a season that's not worth saving? Doesn't make sense... If we trade Fulmer for anything, should be to fill another gaping hole we have and for someone that can contribute the next few years. A center fielder probably makes the most sense (or corner outfielder). Problem is, if you trade Fulmer then we're going to need another SP. Only way we improve to being a contender is if we drastically open up the check book next season because we don't have talent to do it from within. Otherwise, we stay a .500 team and keep wasting Sale and Qs best years. Collins isn't gonna catch.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) Morneau was struggling in Charlotte and Birmingham. What made the Sox brass think he was ready to come up? Dude, he's hit 2 lasers tonight right at people. Are you even watching the game?

That ball by Pujols was killed.....just right at Frazier.

That swing by Abreu was the one I have been waiting for all year. Beautiful swing turning on a 94 mph fastball

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 01:42 PM) Too much is made about "making the playoffs." I would much rather not make the playoffs than get in as a wold card and lose the elimination game, or make the playoffs and get swept and humiliated in four games by the Mets. That means we would of made the World Series which I would gladly take.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 01:37 PM) If you're going for a catcher, go Lucroy. Gattis isn't a catcher anymore. More of a DH

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:28 AM) I don't know if there is an actual win total that matters whether they should blow things up. Out of the playoffs is out of the playoffs. To me, 76-86 or 86-76 is the same thing if you're going home. That said, I think the Sox will be 77-78 or 78-77 with a week left, and they'll play the Rays and Twins 7 games at home that won't mean anything to anyone. They'll probably be shutting Sale down after 32 starts. I understand not making the playoffs at either record, but if you are 86-76 and not make the playoffs, you're probably a player or two away rather than 4-5 players at 76-86. Also, injuries play into this as well.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:18 AM) Again I never said he was cheap. He spent on DRob, Melky, Abreu. You're thinking I implied that. Try reading again. Definitely implying it because Cespedes didn't come cheap at all at 3 years 75 million with 27.5 million in the first year. Did you want him to spend 30 million a year on Cespedes?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) I'm sorry, JR isn't cheap for not offering 30M a season for three seasons. That's ludicrous Plus, I think Cespedes' heart is set on staying in NY

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) Stop it Hypothetical of course. I'd rather them win games.

If the Sox tank these next 2 weeks, do you think they put Quintana on the market? I bet we could get a haul from the Rangers or Red Sox.

Collins 2-3 with a 1B, and a 3R HR

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 05:31 PM) I'm impressed at how little there is in that statement. It's actually applause worthy nothingness. Totally serious, well done Rick. What do you want him to say? Of course they're looking to improve the club. It's a matter of what other teams asking prices are. I don't know why you have a vendetta out on the Sox whether they go out and buy or sell.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) What did I miss? I believe he was out the last 2 games of the Braves series because of a calf injury?

People are arguing for Peter f***ing Bourjos. Give me a break. Rather have Shuck.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 08:50 AM) Me neither. From everything I've read he was still really working on a lot down there, and not like the normal working on stuff but he was all over the place working on everything. But maybe he has figured things out in the last few weeks. Well, his last 8 starts have been good to really good.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) Seems more likely that they get the 4 star PG out of Florida. He's high on them and Groce & Co. continue to recruit him hard. He's no slouch either. Tim Frazier is very, very good.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) Standing pat is just a gutless move. Pick a direction and roll with it. We're wasting the careers of our core. This team is f***ed at the deadline because Hahn can't fill in the pieces around this core and has to trade assets each offseason just to make this team halfway competitive; this leaves us without the necessary assets to go get pieces we need at the deadline the past couple seasons. Just look how the Angels are wasting Trout. Their future looks terrible.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) Blackmon's career OPS at Coors: .894 Away from Coors: .678 This year his OPS away from Coors is 808 though.
