QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) Tyler White, certified Sox killer. You could see this coming after blowing that last half inning. He's like Ryan Rua was for the Rangers. The Sox remind me of the 2015 Minnesota Twins. I'm not sure why.

So the Sox have no backup catcher now? Great.

Why does Avi always swing at the first pitch of his at-bats? It's so predictable at this point.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Continuation hitting at its finest.

This is what I like to see.

Saladino makes up for his blunder earlier! Nice!

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 17, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) Who would you go get? Kiermaier, Burns, anyone. Jackson is a bum.

Good lord, what the hell is going on with this team?

I've never really paid attention to it until this game, but good lord, Navarro is a horrible pitch framer and has lost at least 5-10 strikes for Rodon in this game alone.

Ugh, this offense is brutal sometimes. On the bright side, Rodon looks good so far.

I'm really not a fan of Benetti. He just isn't a good announcer.

This is getting really tiring.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 17, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) Of the 1.5 GB Rockies? Probably not. I'm thinking Reds for Bruce. The Rockies should know that they have no chance at contending this year, despite their decent start, so it would probably be wise of them to deal Gonzalez while he still has value.

The Astros will always have a soft spot in my heart because of 2005...it's hard to explain why. That series was incredible.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2016 -> 01:45 PM) Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Source: LHP Neal Cotts has exercised May 15 opt-out with #Angels. Team must decide whether to add him to 25-man roster or let him go. I'd take him as a situational lefty over Duke, lol.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2016 -> 01:33 PM) Brian McTaggart @brianmctaggart Carlos Gomez on the 15-day DL with a bruised left rib cage That's a rough break for the Sox; he had been playing like garbage as of late.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 17, 2016 -> 12:40 PM) I hate that Sale has all these Central opponents. He typically struggles (relatively speaking) when pitching in the division. It's a new year and Sale is as dominant as ever. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I want Avila to catch Sale and Rodon. Navarro can handle the rest.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) One day maybe I can wake up before 6 AM and start a game thread. Let's start winning again! There's no chance I'd be up before 6 AM if I didn't have to go to school lol

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:13 AM) I think Calhoun could work. The Sox could also target Jered Weaver to shore up the rotation taking on some bad salary from the Halos. A deal like Fulmer, Michaelzeski, Guerrero, and Hawkins for Calhoun and Weaver could be enticing to them. It gives them three legit prospects that will likely be MLB players and a wild card in Hawkins if they can get him on track. The Sox take on the remainder of Weavers $20M salary and see if they can help him get right. Weaver is a pending FA, the one hangup would be a full no trade clause that he would need to waive. Weaver is throwing BP at this point in his career. There is not a chance in hell that the Sox should trade for him.

Does his new name have any sort of meaning?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 08:48 AM) Lots of front-office apologists who refuse to look at facts, I see. Here's another fact: TWO playoff appearances in 16 years under this front office. The list is long: Ritchie, Garcia (1/2 year rent), Swisher, Vasquez, Edwin Jackson, Samardzija, Peavy and Frazier. Only Thome could be considered a positive, but if you factor in the fact that jettisoning Frank was part of that move, it is closer to neutral. Bourgeois is 34, has an OPS of .627 in .708 major league at bats. To use him for anything other than Charlotte filler would be beyond belief......except that this org. loves its veterans. Heck Leury is 25 and has an OPS of .823 in Charlotte this year. Do you find a way to b**** about literally everything? Like I've said before, your ideal MLB team would consist of 25 20-25 year old players making the minimum. It makes no sense. Look at the Phillies. Their roster is pretty similar to that (sans Howard). Are they a quality MLB team? No.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 17, 2016 -> 08:52 AM) Now that's just some straight up trolling my dude. I don't think the Sox have really lost a trade since 2000. Swisher, but how could they see that coming? I give Hahn/KW a pass there. How exactly did the Sox not lose the Samardzija trade?
