Sale was absolutely dominant tonight, wow.

Sandy Leon GOAT.

Frazier actually did something for once!

Speaking of Sale, has he abandoned his changeup lately or am I crazy?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) The difference is that when you bunt, you are giving away an out. When you try to hit a ball to the right side, a player may get a single or a double. That's why the argument is stupid. Runner on 1st and no outs. People say well at least the bunt moves the guy over. What if that guy hits a double instead of a bunt? Outs are baseball's currency. There is no clock. There are 27 outs and they are all valuable. Shouldn't be giving them away. This is fine and dandy, but bunting in certain situations makes sense for a team like the White Sox that has trouble scoring runs consistently. I don't necessarily agree with their philosophy either, but I'd rather play for one run than not score any at all.

That could explain why he was horrible yesterday. Hopefully he returns soon!

Let's beat these f***ers! Go White Sox! Get Sale to 12-2.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd need at least one of Betts/Bogaerts AND 3 other elite prospects in order to trade the best pitcher in the American League.

No chance.

Avila is striking out here.

Jonesy!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) What's sad is we have a DH with an OPS below .700 and Hahn can't find anyone to help that spot immediately. I'm all for giving Mornaeu a look, but he's another 4 weeks away bare minimum. There has to be someone out there, whether stuck on a major league bench or in the minors, that can hit better than Avi right now even if they provide no utility elsewhere. But nope, we continue to trot out Avi or even worse Shuck on a daily basis. Hahn has no one else to blame for this nonsense but himself. Arcia? Grichuk?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) This scrub is a cy young candidate He's the walking definition of "regressing to the mean". It's going to happen. Soon.

Their approach against this scrub is horrendous.

Frazier is complete garbage.

Wright looks like s***. Rock him.

The White Sox tend to be all or nothing against knuckleballers, so they'll either destroy Wright or they won't touch him at all.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 11:14 PM) The title of this thread is partly right, partly wrong. Any organization that would trade for Shields as they did, when they did, has more problems than talent. I'd say 90 percent of this board knew it was a stupid stupid stupid move to acquire a guy with as bad stuff as Shields at this stage. It should be very interesting to see what they do with him. I mean you get rocked as much as he's been rocked, 2-3 more outings like that and you have to do something. It's like that year the Giants acquired that starting pitcher, I forget his name, who immediately turned to crap. They kept trotting him out there to get rocked game after game just cause of $$$. He was a lefty I believe. Name escapes me. Barry Zito?

and yes, I wanted to see how many times I could swear in one post. Haha.

You're so f***ing right man. This s*** is so f***ing embarrassing to watch. I'm f***ing ashamed to wear my f***ing Sox hat in public now because I know f***tard Cubs fans will f***ing f*** with me about it. I don't get what's so f***ing hard about building a f***ing team the right f***ing way. I hate the f***ing Cubs, but they did that s*** the right f***ing way. The Sox need to f***ing get their f***ing s*** together and blow this s*** apart. They have so many f***ing assets that the f***ing rebuild wouldn't even take that f***ing long. But no, f***ing Jerry is too damn f***ing loyal to fire that f***tard Robin and his s***ty ass mother f***ing coaching staff. I'm so f***ing tired of rooting for f***ing mediocre teams. The f***ing casual fans have already jumped over the f***ing ship, and even the f***ing diehards are f***ing tired of this garbage.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 12:21 AM) Quintana has been treated like a stepchild by sox hitters. Sale has an era in the sixes and has 11 wins. His ERA is 2.94. I'm not sure where you got that number from.

Over/under: The Sox will have a position player pitching by the 6th inning.

Off to another flying start lmao.

I desperately want the Sox to rebuild from the ground up, but there's really no point to it as the Sox can't scout and develop young talent anyway. This franchise is a wreck.
