Why? Stop being so dumb on the base paths

I never understood why all the K zones that are put up have the top of the strike zone at the belt of a player. Is it not chest to knees anymore?

I'm sorry for everyone that lives in Chicago. Damn it

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) I wrote the article about the Avila/Navarro pairing. I still stand by the fact that it looked good on paper. It always had risk; everything does. I am also liberally on record as being confused and frustrated that they didn't do enough heading into the season. Those things aren't mutually exclusive. A lot of the moves looked good on paper from the last 2 off-seasons.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Oct 31, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) a)Debatable; I suggest it's closer to the Sox would get nothing close to Trayce, Micah and Frankie were they to trade Frazier now. b) Context. What in the world are the Sox doing trading 3 young players or 2 years of a veteran when they had a 76 win team (that, per pythag, wasn't that good). Not as idiotic as the Samardzija trade (especially as Donaldson was acquired for a similar price) but pretty silly. c)Frazier wasn't that great this year, which is par for the course for Rick Hahn veteran acquisitions. Hahn' talent evaluation skills are, shall we say, lacking. d)I expect more of the same this offseason from Rick Hahn, unfortunately. They were playing to win. 3B sucked in 2015 and we traded fringe players for an all-star who hits 30+ bombs and plays pretty good defense. Were you against the trade from the beginning? Tons of people loved this trade and thought it improved our team quite a bit since we needed power.

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Oct 31, 2016 -> 10:27 PM) I'm fairly positive they base what you see on your browsing trends. Oh, Yahoo got fancy

Even Yahoo put us on the front page

This team is fun to watch

QUOTE (drowninginflame @ Oct 31, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) The blog may be happening. One thing about sports media is, when it comes to the White Sox, they're not jumping at the bit to get content. It's ridiculous. I couldn't get a response from Deadspin, Sports Mockery, or SB Nation's South Side Sox. I'm an accredited journalist, and published author, not some dude offering an opinion that's full of tired cliches. As a professional this experience has been eye opening due to the lack of interest on almost everyone's part. I saw one sort of relevant topic over on Yahoo, but even that, was a big MEH. I'm hoping this piece can find a home with Soxnet. It's about time someone gave us a platform. Is it common for journalists to make a piece on their own and contact sites to get it published? I would think most sites have their writers and don't want to take content from someone they don't work with.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) In no sense was Trayce sold high. The trade would have been defensible IF the Sox were in a position to win AND they didn't have a gaping hole at CF and pitching depth, particularly in the pen (of course those weaknesses, exacerbated by the trade, are a large reason why the Sox weren't in a position to win). A savvy trade of Sale plus another year of quality development by the young pitchers, and the Sox could be ready in 2018. But the usual out of Hahn will yield the usual results. Hindsight. Pretty much everyone on this board loved the move at the time.

Good god our hitters suck

They just won the Series!!!! Oh wait.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) Chapman gets to hit. For whatever reason I don't think he is too bad

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 10:27 PM) Would Tomlin pitch Tuesday? Yes

Gomes is awful at throwing the ball

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Don't see that 1-0 pitch called a strike very often It is bulls***.

How did the ump give Chapman that strike? He totally missed his spot and it was outside

1 strike the whole AB

Bailing him out

wtf Kipnis

What a jump.

Chapman doesn't know how to field apparently lol

Is David Ross the greatest Cub of all time?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Completely unorthodox but I'd consider pinch running for Napoli I thought the same then take Santana out of LF and put him at 1B. But I guess you will need those guys later to PH
