QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 04:25 PM) Something that is ridiculous is the media will focus on Hawk's rant after the game instead of Lackey hitting more people than Addison Russell Was Lackey hitting guys intentionally? Why does this always have to be the case? Can't it be that a guy just sucks and hit 4 guys? What did he even say?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 07:43 AM) I dunno, they still have Hicks too, who was having a big year before injuring his oblique. Ah, I forgot about Hicks. He's been good for them. Probably allows them to play Ellsbury in LF if they want to move Gardner off the field or trade him.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 07:20 AM) See, I think someone will give him an everyday shot, but will be skeptical to go multiple years with him. Two years is a possibility I guess, but would probably have to be an AL team that could move to DH in 2019 if necessary. I think he could make sense for a team like the Yankees next season. They can probably get him on a one year deal. They would have Gardner in LF (he could be traded and it could be Frazier however), Ellsbury in CF, Judge in RF and they could DH Melky and give him occasional starts in the OF.

I like Melky and all, but I don't see him getting a 3 year deal worth $12-14 mill/year. If he is that valuable, a team would have jumped on him by now. I think he gets a year deal with an option from someone (I wouldn't mind it being the Sox as he could DH and play LF occasionally).

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) Bunting for a hit. Nicely done. The only bunt I can accept. Only from guys who can do it consistently.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) Why are these kind of troll posts acceptable when mine aren't? A post like this is worth nothing except to make me so mad that I want to respond. But I won't take the bait this time. We get it. You want us to lose every game. I want to win every game, so there's a difference of opinion. That's all. p.s. You didn't need Clippard's contract to lose. There are plenty of stiffs in the minors you could bring up to accomplish the same thing as Clippard BTW. Plenty of bodies who will lose you games on the cheap. But you did by responding...

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 11:41 AM) This is not allowed. I think it's fine. Younger, I probably would have agreed but now I say f*ck it. I have too much other s*** in my life to worry about someone liking both teams. Like what you want to like. It really only matters 4/6 games a season.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) Week day afternoon games suck. Yeah especially this one since it isn't a travel day.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 11:27 AM) FWIW--Heard on a Boston Sports Show that it would be very unlikely Stanton would be dealt since he is the key asset if the ownership is going to sell. They should probably just figure out what potential new owners would want. Could see new owners wanting him moved so his giant contract is off the books along with getting a couple decent prospects.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 10:43 AM) Unless Moncada goes 0-18 with 16 ks and 2 GIDP Yeah...let's hope this doesn't happen.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 10:30 AM) I just see this series as a win-win no matter what happens. This is how I feel. I'm hoping to spoil the Cubs but can rationalize the losses.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 06:53 PM) because Hawk says? Meh...doesn't work for everybody unless you practice it on a daily basis. You can't just automatically choke up and be comfortable and expect better results. No, not because he says guys should. Even though he is correct and guys should choke up more.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 09:35 AM) Another outcome of this series- let's hope Moncada has a real batting average on Friday morning. That more than any won-loss outcome is what I'd like to see. Yeah I really want to see him rake these next 4 days.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 08:51 AM) This stuff drives me crazy, folks. Good news: The White Sox will try to win the games. Better news: The White Sox suck and so they will prolly lose anyways. Best news: Cheer for whatever the hell you want - it doesn't make a damned difference. +1000000000

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 08:37 AM) I'm good with anything, but for me, if some miracle happens where they give the Cubs four losses and they lose the division by a game, that would be pretty awesome. That said, the Cubs will win 3 or 4, and then it'll be over. Then back to trade deadline stuff. Probably.

Want the Sox to win at least 2 but if they lose 3 or all 4, at least it helps the tank.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 11:21 PM) We should start threads for just the two of us and anybody else who wants to win games now. Seriously. Think how cool it'd be. We could discuss the current team's chances of winning games; and the others wouldn't have to see our posts about wanting to win games. I love El Rockin!! The best fan in the history of the White Sox, or one of 'em! Does it matter to you if the Sox win 60 for 70 games? If you're not first you're last.

It seems like no matter how each team is, they split the season series. I'm predicting 2-2.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 12:25 AM) Rizzo does it when he has 2 strikes. I'm shocked more players don't do it more when they're down in the count. Rizzo and Votto choke up pretty high.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 01:23 AM) Still sitting in 3rd, Phillies won today, Padres and Giants tied in the 10th Only 5.5 back from Phils. Hopefully, Padres take 3/4 as I think Giants will be better than they were earlier this season. A split wouldn't be terrible.

Absolutely

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 02:15 PM) He seems like a nice prospect too! I agree--middle infield could use some depth if Moncada stays at 3B. I think people are high on Carson Kelly because he's such a high-end defensive catcher who can rake. The combo is RARE. What I like is he's a converted 3B--meaning he's got a little extra mileage on his knees from being somewhat new to the position. The more it sounds, they believe Collins will have every opportunity to be our primary catcher someday--but it's such an important position to have a couple guys who are capable of playing it at a high level (a position I feel we have "plugged" to some degree in the past--mostly because good catchers rarely become available). Having 2 solid catchers in the system allows you rest knees, play matchups (Collins bats left--Kelly right), and allows certain battery combinations to form good rapport (Like the Wakefield/Mirabelli combo in Boston). Stays? He's currently not there.

Could also see someone like Grichuk or Piscotty get moved in a change of scenery type of move. Both have struggled.

Zach Duke activated off the dl. That seems like a quick TJ recovery.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 10:26 AM) Good, he should be up already, August OF of Delmonico-Engel-Avi L-R Ideally for me, it's: Delmonico-Engel-W. Garcia with someone overpaying for Avi
