Well f*** Cain

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 01:00 PM) Is Montas back with Birmingham now? yes

I think he's better defensively at SS. IMO he'll end up being what we wanted Leury Garcia to be.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2015 -> 09:17 AM) Gordon Beckham ends up the starter at 3B for a portion of the season. Sadly, already true

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 11:07 AM) Samardzija only wins 10 games and his ERA is in the mid 4s. Sale hurts his arm and has to have surgery. They trade Melky and Alexei by the deadline in a rebuild attempt. Beckham stays the entire season and gets more PT than Micah Johnson. I'm being negative because that's the boldest of bold. Well looks like you'll be at least 2-4

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 05:35 PM) The oversized ridiculous hook gag is great. I can just imagine being a bystander seeing that. Agreed. I hope they do it again sometime!

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 6m6 minutes ago Following the moves, the White Sox 40-man roster is at 38.

Spoke too soon, I guess. Albers back up

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 2m2 minutes ago White Sox have returned RHP Matt Albers from his injury rehabilitation assignment at Class AA Birmingham and reinstated him from the DL. Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 2m2 minutes ago White Sox have also designated infielder Conor Gillaspie for assignment.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 09:48 AM) You'll never get an elite prospect for Quintana, simply because he's not an elite pitcher. What's your definition of an elite pitcher? Quintana was top-ten in WAR in 2014, had a 2.81 FIP, and has a 3.24 FIP this year. Seems elite to me.

Hope he ends up as a starter. Sale/Q/Rodon/Fulmer/Johnson or Montas or Beck or FA is a great rotation. Plus I like Robertson as closer.

Looks like there's no pre-game roster move. So I guess we're counting on Sale to go 8+ with this tired, 6-man bullpen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 06:54 PM) Victor destroys Chris, and a few times it was intimated that they were stealing signs from the outfield I know, but how could they have done that and relayed signs to the hitter? And were they really stealing signs or were Sale and Garcia just being morons

I saw a Tigers fan bring this incident up (good summary: Sale/Tigers Incident 2014). It made me realize that we never really did get much information about this. What we know is that Sale and Garcia thought that somebody in CF was tipping signs to Tigers hitters. Sale then hit Victor Martinez, and the benches cleared. Sale made a "binoculars" gesture in the dugout, and Ian Kinsler and the Tigers proceeded to mock that gesture throughout the game. Even after the game, not much was revealed about the incident. This is from an article published yesterday: So I guess my question is, what was really going on that day? I looked at the Soxtalk archives, and even the game thread didn't have much to say about it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 06:42 PM) He's supposed to be one of the best clubhouse guys in all of baseball I rarely see or hear about him interacting with teammates. In the age of social media, it's easy to know if a certain teammate seems to be isolated. That would be ok if he had the whole "I'm a professional, I do my job quietly and well" kind of thing going, but he's been pretty bad this year. Maybe they don't like that his son is always with him

If there's one thing I've picked up on due to the 05 reunion weekend, it's that team chemistry and "good clubhouse guys" are so much more important to a baseball team than you'd think. I feel like LaRoche isn't well-liked by the team, fwiw.

Wish we just lost in 9

on to the 13th...

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 8m8 minutes ago If the game goes 14 innings, Geoff Blum is available to pinch hit.

Can Shuck play hero again?
