5/4 Game thread: Boston, 7:10pm, WPWR/ESPN
I've said it before and I'll say it here. Rodon is more like a #5 starter than anyone the Sox have on the farm or elsewhere. This team really needs a #3.

I want Avila back. I like Dio when he's hitting but the defense is bad.

Help yourself out Carlos.

Lawrie will be batting 2nd at some point. He's gonna be a wonderful player to slot in between Eaton and 'broo

A BOMB

Fear of Eaton throwing out Bogaerts (he probably would've thrown him out) pins the runner on 1st base setting up an easy 3-4-3 GIDP. Defense builds on defense. **3-5-3

Early Trade Speculation
I've definitely been pleased with Frazier lately, but Trayce is a damn fine player and I know from the start he was the wrong guy to give up. Montas and Micah I could handle, Trayce was a bad move. Whatever get past it and move forward, just wish they'd have thrown something else in there for the Dodgers.

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
Exactly. The badness of the NL really f***s everything up. It basically means nothing that comes out of that league can be taken seriously.

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
AL lineups are absolute death marches right now, I doubt the Mets, Nationals and Cubs would be boasting these all world staffs if they had to face this stretch of the Sox are in the midst of.

Another Steroid suspension is coming up
Really hope its not one of ours.

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
Its not smart. Nobody in Cincinnati or Milwaukee wants to watch that crap, young people aren't tuning it to watch teams go through a "process" for 4 years. These franchises are killing themselves and people are lauding them for it.

Rodon vs Nola
Velasquez/Nola/Eickhoff may be better than Thor/Harvey/deGrom by the end of the year. Who would've seen THAT coming?
-
2016 Cubs catch-all thread
If you consume much NL baseball this is pretty much what it looks like. It's an embarrassment, the NBA stepped in and put an end to Hinkie's "process" but the NL is allowed to turn into a AAA league and nobody bats an eye. Absolutely ridiculous what the senior circuit has become, and its not good for the game.

Rodon vs Nola
I think there is little doubt Nola will finish 2016 the better pitcher. Rodon still has a lot of work to do to even scratch his ceiling, whereas Nola seems have been ready for MLB batters from day 1.

Who will be the 5th starter at the end of the season
Mat Latos.

Early Trade Speculation
Sox have to wait another month for more AL teams to sink. I dont think the Marines and A's will still be seeing themselves as contenders June 4th, and the Yankees are quickly approaching "abandon ship" mode. Those are three very interesting rosters the Sox can pillage.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
Fangraphs doesnt update their leaderboards until the AM. Quintana was the best pitcher in the AL by fWAR going into tonight's game... I can only assume he's going to climb even higher now.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
Quintana is just... I dont even know. He's taken it to the next level when the level he was at was pretty goddamn good.
