QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:12 PM) Where does Cespedes play???? Melky has very limited experience in RF. Now if you can trade LaRoche for Cespesdes it would work in that Melky goes to DH. But no way that happens. The Tigers will want a young pitcher. cespedes is also a below average fielder although he has a great arm Melky can play RF. He's played 100+ games over there. It's not as different from LF as you'd think.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:11 PM) My overreacting isn't over the fact of a bad loss but the fact of looking at a small portion of 25 games against consistently bad for most of the year. Again the sox have to win a lot of game the rest of the year to contend. They've shown winning for a stretch of the last 25 games but alot of losing before that. Maybe they changed but time will tell. I'm not trying to attack you specifically or anything. My point is, for the past few days, everyone has been posting in the Buyer thread. There was absolutely no talk of selling during this streak, and after one loss, there suddenly is.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) So you replace one bad bat with a better one but still have holes. Find me a baseball team without a single hole.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) Quick to steal my thunder. With that said, let's win another series. Just annoyed by all the overreacting, want to keep looking forward

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) Buying a bat. Can't change your mind because of one rainy s***ty game facing a knuckleballer. Same here. The overreaction after the inevitable loss, while expected, is still mind-boggling.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) And yet the team is still under .500 with quit a bit of offensive holes Which is what Upton/Cespedes would help. The fact that we're under .500 is irrelevant when we're what, 2.5, 3 games out of a playoff spot?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) Yes, but you can argue with our rs/ra ratio, all the dramatic late comebacks from down 3-4 runs in the first six weeks or so (there must have been five or six of them), the fact that we're playing two rookies on the infield who have never been through a pennant race, there's just a lot of factors arrayed against them (along with the upcoming schedule). Baltimore's been really quiet, and Minnesota hasn't made a move, either. You'd have to imagine they will all come up with something in the next 17 hours or so. Yes, but it's also very hard to give up on a team that was built to contend and has won 17 of 26 games.

Still 17-9 since the first Cardinals series

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:48 PM) Yes but going winning 7 games in a row after starting off the Second half going 1-5 shouldn't have changed their mines either Yes, it should have... we were literally inches away from being 3-3 those games, and don't forget we went something like 9-3 right before that 1-5 stretch.

Starting this early because I'm already looking forward to it. Let's get back to our winning ways. Our hitters haven't seen much of Eovaldi. Melky is 2-3 off him, though. This could be our last game without Upton/Cespedes/new bat in our lineup.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:43 PM) Lets get to .500 and go from there.............Sox brass in a very tough spot tonight, should be interesting to see. Losing one game shouldn't change their minds

Carlos and Melky hitting streaks have been snapped. That's game.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:40 PM) Why we brought him up is beyond me. He sucks He's basically Bonifacio.

With that strikeout, Garcia's average drops 500 points.

Good take on 2-2

Don't see why we PH Leury in an RBI spot. It's not like it's 14-2 or something

Come on Leury, increase that average of yours... oh wait, it's 1

Love Shuck's hustle there.

Hey Miller Lite, is airing the same commercial 7-8 times per game really the best use of your money?

Hanley... take it easy there

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 10s10 seconds ago One team that some in the industry believe is a dark horse for Justin Upton: The Minnesota Twins. I meant about us

A little disappointed that we haven't heard any new trade rumors or updates in 5-6 hours

Looking back, I now wish it continued raining in the 5th.
