You know you're bad when you're 4-16 in 16 games

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) You want to PH Avila there for him? Saladino? Our bench has no options to get a hit against Davis... Yeah, not much else to go with here. This isn't Robin, it's the roster.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) It's common sense and you are always right in hindsight. Perfect vision you know Whatever dude. Think whatever you want. It was stupid.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 27, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) You are wrong. The setup if pitchers was correct but they couldn't deliver Nope. Walk Hosmer, bring in Jones. This is a hindsight 20/20 thing, it's a common sense thing. You are wrong.

It is much better burning up Jones when we're losing than ahead. Makes perfect sense.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 27, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Lol swung at 3 balls 2

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) So everyone could cry for Robin to be fired when he burned up the pen? I can see it is irrational theater tonight in the game thread. You guys have fun wasting another night. You use your best reliever when the situation dictates it. Let the lesser guys go in with the bases empty, nevermind the inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) Joe Sheehan ‏@joe_sheehan 43s44 seconds ago My favorite part of the bottom of the seventh was Robin Ventura waiting until the lead was entirely blown to use Nate Jones. #whitesox This is fantastic and sad all at once.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 27, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) Didn't they go back to back to back in that game? Was it Dye, Paulie and Rowand? I seem to remember it being single, home run, single, home run. Not sure who was involved. Don't remember it that well. But I think it was the 6th inning and Johnson was either perfect or had the no hitter going. Of course, there is the very real (likely?) possibility I'm wrong.

I remember Randy Johnson having a similar game to this when he was with the Yankees.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 26, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) He is extrapolating a lot off of very little. To say the Sox are trying to trade for Gardner and Beltran is speculative at best, because reading what was posted I did not see Olney say those things Which is why I said he's going off tweets and beyond that is speculation.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ May 26, 2016 -> 04:19 PM) This person has zero credibility. He puts out rumors constantly hoping something will stick. He has had 3 -4 Jimmy Butler staying/going, several Bruce/Cargo rumors to Sox, Rmors on almost every position w Bears etc................... To be fair, he's going off tweets from Buster Olney. Beyond that is speculation, of course. Olney is fairly well respected in regard to these sorts of things.

Of course Joe West calls the balk that costs a run.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) They are getting ready to lose their 9th straight non Sale start. I don't think it's time for everyone to be sucking their dick. Happy mediums exist.

You people are pathetic.

We need to win this game

I try to not let these clowns get to me. We haven't had winning baseball in a while now. I just want to enjoy the ride.

We need a not-s***ty catcher.

Prediction: Walk Flyout Single Single Dinger Sox win.

Avila Jackson Eaton

Nevermind. Harris is good. A previous poster mentioned "Willie" Harris I think, and that piqued my curiousity. But yes...reliever Harris is good.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 18, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Will Harris is really good In what sense? I'm assuming I'm missing something, just curious as to what.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 18, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) Seriously though, Saladino needs to shave that crap off. Shave those sideburns

I think Josh Donaldson is onto something. I saw three balks that last half inning for Fister. He isn't coming to a set position consistently.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 18, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) Anderson doesn't have a Uribe/Valentin arm but he does have the athletic ability/range/quickness to make up for it. For now, all signs point to him being an above-average SS, but probably not a great one unless you look at it from an all-around perspective. His arm is above average, though. Probably his second highest tool behind his speed. His footwork and hands are what might hold him back defensively. Footwork can be fixed with reps. Hands might be an issue though.
