QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 07:11 PM) Cabrera 14 for his last 24.... .583 En fuego. Está quemando!

Papa John's from April-mid July was probably thrilled with their 5 runs, half off promotion since we probably only got 5 runs like 5 times up to that point. But now, they're probably regretting it and wondering if they can raise it to 10

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 47s47 seconds ago Coming into tonight, Abreu, Cabrera, Bonifacio, and Soto were a combined 0-12 vs. Wade Miley with 6 strikeouts. They went 4-4 in 1st inning.

5-2.

The White Sox have scored 15 runs in 10 innings so far without LaRoche.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 06:28 PM) A 14 inning World Series game thread didn't get 75 pages. *at 50 posts per page Yeah, but this site probably had 1/4 the members it has now.

Tom Fornelli ‏@TomFornelli 12m12 minutes ago The White Sox have scored 11.7% of their total runs on the season in the last 5+ games.

First pitch delayed 10 mins due to Pedro Martinez ceremony. Expected this.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 05:49 PM) What are going to do when Rodon hits his innings? Does he have a hard limit?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) @ChrisCotillo: David DeJesus also traded to Angels. What the hell, they have 6 f***ing outfielders now... unless this is a sarcastic post lol

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 05:45 PM) Don't understand why they needed Murphy and Victorino. Murphy is a nice upgrade over Matt Joyce (and Victorino for that matter). Because overkill

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) I'm at peace with the Sox standing Pat since the rotation is playoff worthy and some bats have come alive. For right now, what might be the best moves the Sox could make are... 1- DFA Boni and recall Micah 2- bat Micah at DH and use LaRoche for pinch hitting/ defensive sub at 1B. 3- play Shuck more in a platoon with Avi. Shuck improves defense and production against RHP. 4- option Leury back to Charlotte and recall Erik Johnson 5- Danks goes to the pen and Erik becomes the 5th starter These move cost the Sox zero money and prospects while improving their contending status, on paper anyway. Leury's in Charlotte, so you'll have to find another way to get Johnson up

QUOTE (staxx @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 04:56 PM) MIN > Sox > CLEV > KC > DET in terms of 5-7 year outlook IMO Min has an incredible farm system. We have an extremely strong pitching rotation with some young core hitters. KC is blowing up their farm to win this year/next year, and will likely lose many pieces from their bullpen and Alex Gordon. They also have little in terms of long term pitching value. DET is aging extremely fast, saddled with huge contracts, and little farm talent. Agree with all, however maybe flip us with Cleveland in what I bolded

I'm calling the unprecedented 75 page game thread tonight.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 8m8 minutes ago Adam LaRoche didn't want the two days off but agrees he needed it. "I’m healing. My pride has been injured a little bit." #WhiteSox

Tim Anderson went from #76 to #45 in MLB.com's top 100.

Odd considering they have Storen, who I believe is #4 or 5 in MLB for save leaders. Lots of teams upgrading at positions that don't need upgrades this week.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 02:42 PM) Or maybe you're biased? Why don't you suggest something original instead of telling everyone else they're wrong. Well there's no trade I'd make with Toronto for Q, they simply don't have enough to offer, and they wouldn't offer any of their solid MLB players. There are only a few teams who could offer a reasonable package for Quintana. His value is very close to Sale due to their similar contracts.

Start of the game may be delayed due to Pedro Martinez # retirement ceremony

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 02:32 PM) Hector has improved for sure, he still looks like a statistical anomoly, but at the same time, you can't argue the results. I do agree with the premise that Adam Eaton is a better fit for the White Sox. Exactly. The trade wasn't about who the better player is, it's about how good of a fit the players are. Eaton is better for us, Santiago is better for them, and Trumbo... well, yeah, Arizona lost the trade.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 02:14 PM) They were supposed willing to give up a package including Norris, Hoffman and Pompey for Carlos Carrasco but it fell apart. That's no longer possible, but it would be something like Stroman, Pentecost and Pompey for Q. That would be one of the worst trades in Sox history. You guys are criminally undervaluing Quintana.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 12:58 PM) Sanchez, Norris, Alford, Pentecost, Stroman, Pompey, Reid-Foley, Urena, DJ Davis, Tellez, etc. They have more than enough to get it done. Whether they're willing to give up the pieces is different. Don't undervalue Quintana. His value is closer to Sale's than you'd think. They don't have enough, unless they'd be willing to include MLB players.

John Danks. I.E, don't want Cargo

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) I don't think the Blue Jays have the ammo for Q after the Tulo deal Even before, they probably didn't.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 10:25 AM) Have you watched Avi play? Yes I have, and he's better than Middlebrooks.
