Good inning by Shields there, now let's gets some runs!

That's what I wanted to see from Morneau, a very hard hit ball.

Nice play by dio to pick off the guy at second base

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) He's fine as a fourth/fifth OF. He's not a starter. I agree completely, nice play by Frazier on that rocket.

Shuck just isn't a center fielder.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 07:07 PM) Abreu has a .312/.357/.493 slash line since June 1. How is that not a 3 hitter? No power at all, is my guess. Anderson has probably been close to if not better than Abreu in the power numbers since he was called up

QUOTE (InTheDriversSeat @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) Game tonite actually starts at 8:10 PM CDT (Central Daylight Time). CST (Central Standard Time) ended in March, and begins again in November. My bad, I just copied the one from yesterday. I don't pay attention to that much since I'm not on that time zone.

7/16 @whitesox lineup at LAA Anderson SS Eaton RF Abreu 1B Cabrera LF Frazier 3B Morneau DH Lawrie 2B Navarro C Shuck CF Shields P

If we get him he should become the number 1 catcher immediately for us. We have our DH, so there is no point to trade for anyone to play that postion. Now if Morneau bombs then I'd say we could trade for a DH

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 12:30 PM) With Morneau now, I wonder if they'll push Anderson down to 9, and go Melky at 2? Eaton, Cabrera, Abreu, Morneau, Frazier, Lawrie, Garcia/Shuck, Catcher, Anderson I think that lineup is much worse than Anderson Eaton Abreu Cabrera Frazier Morneau Lawrie Catcher Shuck

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) Avi has two homers off Shoemaker. Lawrie is 6-15 against him. 7-3 Angels. Watch RV play Avi in right and Eaton in center just bc Avi has hit well against Shoemaker.

I know not many people like starting a gameday thread when Shields pitches so I'll do it. Shields vs Shoemaker Hopefully Shields keeps improving as he has pitched well above average in his last few starts. The offense was s*** again last night but should rebound nicely with a new look to the batting order bc Justin Morneau will be starting at DH. IMO Morneau should bat behind Frazier, but since RV is calling the shots I could see him batting behind Lawrie. I'm really excited for this game and too see how the offense looks with Morneau in it. Player of the game: Frazier (I feel a 2 run HR will happen) Prediction: Sox win 6-4

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 12:49 AM) Oh, and speaking of relievers, #DFAAlbers Do it tonight!!!!!

Just realized that the Sox have no backup OF bc Avi is at DH

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) I don't understand this at all. You put Morneau in the lineup everyday until he proves he can't hit lefties. You already know Garcia can't hit anything. It would be one thing if he actually had good splits against lefties but he's hitting .178/.275/.541 this year. It could be that since he has been traveling all over (playing in Charlotte, Birmingham, flew to Houston, then to Anaheim ) that RV I'd just giving him a day off altogether readjust.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 12:58 AM) Looks like Carson is going straight to the pen, no spot start for Carlos. @ChrisCotillo tweet: Source: Fulmer will initially come out of the bullpen for the White Sox.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) Is Blackmon's defense even that good? I could be looking at the wrong metrics, but he looks pretty average No idea what the metrics are, but just from watching some games this year I'd say he is much better then Jackson and Eaton.

Fulmer for Blackmon is a no brainer at this point IMO. Blackmon's D and SB's will translate no matter which division or league he is in. I feel his batting average will also stay roughly the same. The only question would be about his power numbers and I think that's worth the risk. I would prefer the Sox try and build a package around Adams, but if the FO is really wanting to go for it this year then we have to land at least one of Blackmon/CarGo/Bruce/Hamilton. The positive to all of those is that they are all controlled through at least next year as well. MAKE IT HAPPEN SOX!!!

That was more of a hit and run then a true still. Eaton just whiffed at ball 4

We haven't hit yet, if it's still ok I'll take frazier. If not that's cool.

Why are we not using our closer?

Bad ABs from Timmy, Spanky and Abreu

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) Our catching situation is one of the reasons I never considered the Sox a playoff contender. That's why we should try and pull the trigger on Sanchez from NY

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) Anyone on here ever play or win Sox Math? I try it every now and then. I usually take too long to get the answer so I haven't won any. The one time I had the answer right before they finished reading the question my damn phone was dead so I couldn't post it, probably would have won that time too.
