QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) How do teams score during interleague games? The changing leagues I don't think is as big as some want to make it. I'm sure there is a bit of adjustment, but it doesn't take 70 points off your batting average and cost you 30 doubles. Exactly. It's overblown.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) They made some changes to Rizzo and Russell IIRC Yeah they adjusted Rizzo's hands and bat movement since he's gotten there. In San Diego, he batted more open and held his hands a lot higher.

Pile on a few more runs and let him finish it. He has an extra day off next time through rotation.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 26, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) This is what I was trying to explain in a different thread, but Y2Jimmy and a few others didn't get what I was saying. He doesn't have much of any bad luck at all. He just can't make solid contact consistently enough for that BABIP to go up. I also think he's quite overrated defensively. He's ok, but not as good as I thought he would be. But much better than we've trotted out there in recent years.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 26, 2016 -> 08:14 AM) If they hit 7 homers today, I think they will win. Haha I was at the game yesterday. Even though it was hot and I expected them to lose after the first inning, I enjoyed seeing all the homers and offense.

First ever GameDay thread created! Let's win this boys.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 05:30 PM) Buehrle at this very moment would still be better than Purke. Haha let him get a few beers in him, sign him to an MLB deal, and let him pitch out of the pen tonight.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 05:00 PM) David Schuster ‏@Schumouse 25m25 minutes ago Mark Buehrle is here at the ballpark tonight Sign him to replace Purke./green

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) Probably at least a week away until he gets in a game. Hostetler wanted him to catch his breath a bit before picking up a bat again. I respect it.

I don't think he's being literal guys. I think he's saying it's hard to improve it when all he seems to do is homer, K or popout. Meaning he does nothing to really improve his BABIP (by just getting a base hit every once in a while as opposed to a groundout, popout, flyout). Maybe confusing wording on his part but I think understand what he's saying.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) He could say he wants to be traded. He doesn't subscribe to the politically correct crowd, so he will say what he means. Eh I guess he could. We'll be seeing what tune he sings in 3 and a half years.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) Sale wants to be a White Sox forever. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox...ieves_white_sox Has over 3 years left in his deal. What else would he say? Athletes say this s*** a lot.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 11:30 PM) I'd rather he not start. I think what he has working for him is his insane velocity, which could very well be diminished if he has to throw more pitches in a given outing I'd rather they try to make him a starter first.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:19 PM) Why would the Sox take on so much money in Shields who is a No. 5 starter at best in the AL? Because $10 million a year isn't a lot in today's game.

Shields look any different mechanics wise? At work following along.

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) Profar was the #1 prospect 2 years ago. He's finally healthy and showing all his tools. They will never trade Mazara. Yeah I think Odor/Profar and Gallo is a good start. And then probably 3 of their top 5 prospects.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Well, the Samardzija trade FINALLY paid off in a productive way. Besides Burdi POSSIBLY being the future closer. Don't write him off as a possible future starter yet.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) Wow, f*** off Ferrell. How can they review this now? Think that was the ump's call. They have the power to do that.

Just read an article saying Betts should be in a deal for Sale. Finally someone has some sense.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) Nope. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/06/inte...-fernandez.html You would think a team like the Dodgers would say f*** it and just buy him since they can't spend this upcoming period anyway. Money isn't really an issue for them.

Has Lazarito signed yet?

Hopefully there's some great 19/20/21 year olds theys plan on signing. Some of that may make an impact a little quicker than the 16 year olds.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) If it doesn't make the other side cringe, you DONT trade someone like Chris. Exactly...gotta give up something valuable to get something valuable.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) Boston writers will have the Sale trade to the Red Sox ironed out by Wednesday morning. The White Sox should get a robust collection of prospects that Boston writers and fans do not want. AND....Allen Craig

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) Every time I see a foul pop up to 3rd I get flashbacks of Crede dropping one and Manny hitting the next pitch into the seats. Holy s*** I remember that.
