There ya go Melk Man! Much needed insurance there, and a chance to tack on another with less than 2 outs. Another triple. Tim Anderson with the single and stolen base, this is how it's done.

Ya know, the park doesn't look empty on the weekends. It only looks empty on those weeknight games.

Dan the man Jennings...nice play by Saladino. Sox need to score more runs, Seattle will not have 1 run by the end of this game.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 03:07 PM) I doubt they bring back Albers so we should be fine there. Minor league deal at best for depth. That pen definitely needs another lefty and long reliever though. Could see one of Putnam or Petricka moved. I agree that it needs a long reliever, but not necessarily another lefty. If you have good right handed pitchers, they should be able to get both out consistently. I'm of the speculation that lefties vs. lefties or righties vs. righties don't matter as much, and in fact I think they can often distract from the real holes that need to be filled.

At least it was a solo shot.

I'm nervous that the pen might blow this game for Rodon, if he doesn't give up any runs.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) Who is this team? Looking more and more like the team we saw in April. As long as they don't play the AL Central, or the Rangers, they are fine. September might be hell for this team considering all the games against the central: 3 in Detroit (starting tomorrow) 4 in Minnesota (doesn't really count) 3 vs Detroit 3 vs Royals 4 vs Cleveland 4 vs Royals 2 at PHI 3 in Cleveland 4 vs TB 3 vs Minnesota That's a lot of games vs KC, CLE, and DET

Potential 2017 bullpen: Putnam, Petricka, Jones, Jennings, Burdi, Robertson, Ynoa? This is a solid pen when healthy, there are a lot of ifs, such as can Burdi succeed in the majors, health, Robertson putting it back together. I'd rather have Ynoa than Albers.

Has anyone heard anything about Hawk's future plans on broadcasting?

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) How about that Tim Anderson fella? Him too. He gets a hit, expect another.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 10:08 PM) I remember a few years ago on this very board I suggested Q may end up being more valuable than Sale. I took a lot of heat for it. I backtracked a bit saying I mostly meant with all the talk of Sale being a high risk arm. But Q is the man. Back then there was always talk that Q wasn't legit , he couldn't keep doing it. Smoke and mirrors you heard a lot in reference to Q but he has just kept getting better and better. And he does it while minding his own business. Those are my favorite guys to watch. They respect the game, do what they do, and that's it. They let their talent do the talking. I loved the standing O by the fans today when Q was taken off, and his hat tip. I remember him saying in an interview this year regarding the trade speculation around him at the deadline, he made it very clear that he likes it here and he wants to win a championship in Chicago. He is by far my favorite player wearing a White Sox uniform and I hope he stays for his entire career here, and he's only 27. He has at least 10 more years left in him, barring (God forbid) injuries. Jose Quintana is the real ace of this staff.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) Man, I really would trade Sale before Q. I always liked Q better than Sale. I really hope he gets the Cy Young. He's been so much better and so much more consistent than Sale.

Salad in on the fun

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) Avi is up to .248. Hmmmm. Yeah what's up with that? A bomb of a homer and 2 doubles.

Having an outfield with fantastic arms AND good instincts is a blessing in itself. We have had a lot of runners cut down on the bases this year from Eaton and Melky. Pitchers must love that.

What a fun game to watch, and FINALLY Quintana is getting some run support.

WOW!!!

Jose Abreu's average is slowly creeping up to .300

Todd almost eff'd up there...almost. LEt's go Avi. I'd like to see this starter out by the 3rd inning.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 07:25 PM) He hit that ball HARD I don't think it had any arc to it...

Tim Anderson is our allstar shortstop of the future

Avila just missed catching a fastball right down the middle. Umm...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Incredible play by O'Malley Yeah no kidding

Here we go bases loaded, new pitcher, let's do this Timmy.
