Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 55s56 seconds ago Moustakas gives the Royals a 3-1 lead over the #WhiteSox in the 5th with a two-run home run.

12 pitches, that's what happens

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:18 PM) Not really good umpires today That's quite the understatement

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:08 PM) His framing is actually rated pretty good this year, but that doesn't go into fWAR anyway. We only have 4 positive WAR position players. Abreu: 1.5 Soto: 0.6 Flower: 0.2 Eaton: 0.1 That's surprising. This is completely unrelated- Soto really annoys me when he throws the ball back to the pitcher. He leans forward on one knee, throws it back weakly, then scrapes the dirt with his throwing hand. I don't know why it annoys me. I'm usually sitting behind him at games, that's why I notice it. It makes him seem like he can barely throw the ball 60 feet.

Sox best bunters: 1. Tyler Saladino 2. Carlos Rodon T-3. Everyone else

Nice bunt

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:04 PM) Soto is so much better than Flowers at hitting. Fixed

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:03 PM) f*** yeah Soto. Our second best position player by fWAR! Seriously? Because his defense/framing seems pretty bad

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:57 PM) Maybe the lesson we should take is that "running when it is going to be close enough as to leave it in the hands of the umps/review" is a bad move that is costing us a fair number of runs? Or maybe the umps/review should do what they're paid to do

f***ing new york. f*** replay. get the call right or eliminate it from the game

Since it's 05 reunion weekend, here's a crazy, five team trade. White Sox receive: AJ Pierzynski Brandon McCarthy Juan Uribe Neal Cotts Mark Buehrle Blue Jays receive: John Danks Brewers receive: Dan Jennings Braves receive: Geovany Soto Gordon Beckham Dodgers receive: Scott Carroll

QUOTE (AJUribe @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:29 PM) Vs this battery why run on 0-2? Stupidity is incomprehensible. It's Drew Butera, not Sal Perez

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:28 PM) It didn't look like the tag got on Eaton until he was on teh base. Looks like he had the glove down, but didn't touch Eaton until his chest, by that time he was already on teh base. They should've used teh challenge

Impractical Jokers season premiere was decent

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) For reference, Puig's first-half slash line: .261/.343/.429 with 4 HRs and 1 SB. OPS more than 100 points lower than his career line. Aberration or downward trend? Neither. He's always been overrated. Sure, he hasn't been this bad, but he's nowhere near as good as everyone thinks. Also, keep in mind that's in just 43 games. He had a DL stint.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:17 PM) Good lord that would be bad. It seems like a crazy, White Sox KW type of move. Maybe no Anderson.

1-0 already, SELL!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:14 PM) Serious question. Where would he play (unless we moved an OF). Exactly why I don't think we trade for him. There's no spot

Putnam, Avi Garcia, and Erik Johnson to Milwaukee for Carlos Gomez and Neal Cotts

eaton

abreu

I see him as more of a Kelvin Herrera type of reliever in the future, not a starter.

So about this thread title...

Chris Sale will not pitch tonight unless there is an "emergency". http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/07/14/ned...-all-star-game/
