Jose Abreu

Umpiring has been brutal. Rodon has been great, though, per usual since that start against the Cards.

Ventura on Rodon: "If he does or doesn’t win rookie of the year, doesn’t mean anything about what’s going to happen next year." What are Rodon's ROY chances? His main competition, I'd say, is Correa of Houston, but he has cooled off a bit. Granted, he's still at .273/18/52 in just 85 games. Rodon is 7-6 with a 3.94 ERA/3.85 FIP entering tonight's start. His 1.76 ERA since 8/11 is the lowest in the American League and 5th-lowest in majors. FWIW, if you take out his two terrible outings (vs PIT/STL) he has a 3.12 ERA. Abreu was the 2014 AL ROY. Could Rodon win it in 2015?

Didn't know Drake LaRoche was still with the team. I guess it's because the Sox stopped constantly tweeting/instagram posting about him. Does that kid ever go to school?

I think he gets 3 starts. Needs 14 K's per start to get there. Won't happen. He will pass Walsh and get the single-season Sox record, though (barring injury). I agree that he should pitch to contact more.

Thank God those Sale runs were unearned. I was cringing at the thought of his ERA before I saw the box score.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 39s39 seconds ago Most #WhiteSox rookies liked their costumes. Carlos Rodon didn't seem as pleased with his revealing nurse costume.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 11:25 AM) Tanaka is 12-6 with a 3.40 ERA. I'm aware. He's also constantly battling arm injuries due to his overuse in Japan. He won't last the duration of his contract.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 09:19 AM) DGN has run the option for like 30 years. If they didn't change it for David Edwards the last 4 years, they aren't changing it. Yeah, I know they aren't. The team doesn't like it though. Even Edwards (my neighbor, told me this directly) grew tired of it/our coach's playcalling last season.

He's a much better 2016 DH option than LaRoche

Remember when Y. Ventura quick-pitched Eaton and it led to that brawl? And Samardzija was in the middle of it all, and most of us loved him for it? How times have changed...

That was back when the Royals couldn't avoid bench-clearing brawls.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 10:07 PM) The Pirates really took the high road on this one. Lawrie slid hard into Escobar early in the season and that started a bean-ball war of epic proportions. You're right on that. It's even still going on now, and it started in mid-April.

Sorry for the bump, but I think it's worth noting he ended up hitting .341 with 7 homers and 20 runs batted in in 36 games for AAA Charlotte.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 05:52 AM) My favorite textbooks to be assigned were the ones that had key stuff already highlighted by previous users. Yeah, Jagielo didn't do that for me.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 12:21 AM) They'll be lucky to make the playoffs. They'll probably be 2-4 heading into a winnable final 3 games. That program has been way down the past couple years. Yeah, you're right I was joking. Our coach (who happens to be my history teacher) is running such an outdated offense and is too stubborn to change it.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) Didn't Swisher when he played for the Yankees do something like this to the Japanese SS the Twins had? Tsuyoshi Nishioka, I believe, yes.

Is it just rookies? I can't tell who they all are.

Huge blow for the Pirates. Helps the Cubs honestly

Downers Grove North football is taking it back to '04 and bringing home a state championship this year. Book it.
