Jose Abreu

Abreu now batting .300 in July

bump?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) Is tonight's game really 6:10 as this thread says? I assume it's on national TV? Would not make much sense to make the players/fans come so early and have to stick around. You're in the wrong game thread, the game is going on right now and we have 2 men on

In fact, Nate Jones is 3-19 in his career for save opportunities. Sucks to be a set-up man, as allowing a game-tying run in the 7th or 8th when your team was leading, or giving up the lead, = blown save.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) And Nate Jones breathes a sigh of relief. The guy has seven blown save chances already according to the official box score. And some were advocating that he become the closer. Right now he's not even a reliable set up guy. You do know that all 7 of those blown saves came in the 7th or 8th inning, right?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 01:42 PM) I have yet to be convinced this actually happened. All of the slave local media was all telling the "flu" story. I think the Sox were trying to cover for him again. Even barstool Dave still maintains that it didn't happen.... but I'll trust Ken Rosenthal over him.

First pitch at 2 PM CT

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) Eaton could at least act happy Honestly it was weird to watch

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) Bunting is so worthless fixed

So basically he misses one start

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) So one guy says it will take your best five prospects, another guy says it will take Mookie Betts, Benintendi, plus. I know Dave is usually right this year, but I don't know if I trust him on this. I mean, this is a guy who is still maintaining that the uniform cutting thing never happened, so

there are still rumblings that he wasn't sent home and rather left on his own

I hope you all know that there were no "jersey sales". This jersey was not even for sale, it was a free giveaway.

raBBit: I will have more soon but for those of you who expect the same old same old #WhiteSox this deadline...prepare to be surprised.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:18 PM) You seriously believe that wearing a different uniform makes a difference in winning? This is the difference in winning? Wearing a different jersey? I'm sure KW didn't care about the promotional day other than "ok Brooks." Speaking of this, I did see Brooks Boyer walking up from scout seats to the top of section 133 about 20 minutes after it was announced that Sale had the "flu", as I was getting to my seat. I later noticed that we were not wearing the 76 uniforms. Probably should have connected those dots.

Looks like we won't get the follow up on "uniform story is BS"- whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD Getting white girl wasted at the cell What a source!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) Ironic thing is not pitching tonight might have been in Sale's best interest due to the long delay True. What interests me is, if he is not traded this weekend, when will his next start be? This bullpen will be taxed after today.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) I think I like Sale even more than I did before this incident. You think cutting up a bunch of jerseys like a four year old kid was the appropriate reaction to the situation?

The "trade value dropping" tweets have been all over tonight

Chuck GarfienVerified account ‏@ChuckGarfien I know Chris Sale likes wearing the 1983 throwbacks. He clearly had issues with the '76 ones. And yes, there's more to it than that.

Dave hasn't said anything since claiming that the uniform story didn't happen. However it has been confirmed by raBBit, Chuck Garfien, Ken Rosenthal, etc.

Now we're in a quandary. Do we keep this guy? This isn't somebody I'd want on my team. But if you trade him, do you get the same package you would if this didn't happen?

All this does is make our organization look horrendous. Nobody wins

I don't get those defending Sale. Sure, he can claim that it's a PR move all he wants, but cutting up jerseys is extreme

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) Is this the red and blue SOX jersey? I feel like he's worn this a bunch of times. It was the 76 blue one
