I'm sure it's just a day off, but no Abreu today.

My apologies, didn't know if you were going to start one.

Very interesting, although I'd be shocked if they dealt him.

they wanted to make sure Jose finished the month of July with a donut for HRs.

No need to apologize. Nobody started a game thread at the time, with the game starting soon, so I jumped in.

 

Perhaps the threads can be merged?

Things of interest so far. No Abreu in the lineup. Robertson the only reliever not to warm up before the game.

 

I fully expect another trade to go down between now and the end of the game. Hunch is it will be Melky.

Our own raBBit with the following tweat:

 

Source on #WhiteSox: "No illusions here about this squad. Sellers if price is met."

 

That's good news. Also, it sounds like Robertson isn't in bullpen right now. Deal could be close.

Oh, you didn't post the follow up tweet where his source called the potential returns on Sox core guys "underwhelming".

 

Nothing big is going to happen.

Rodon is so underwhelming this year. It took Hawk one pitch to complain about his pitch selection.

I just saw that. That could easily just be posturing. Either way, it's a plus that they're in full-on sell mode.

Rodon continues to piss down his leg.

What the hell happened to Rodon? Awful season for him, second most disappointing player on the team

Edited July 31, 20169 yr by fathom

Hawk ok?

Can we trade Rodon for Schwarber?

This is pretty gross. Our starting pitchers had been good recently up until now.

Rodon gave up 5 hits and 3 walks in his 3.2 Rehab innings.

Rodon might need to spend some time in AAA. He looked like he was making great progress towards the end of last year, but this season has beyond a dissapointment.

Rodon needs to A) get in shape (trending toward Albers) and B) spend some time in Charlotte, working on command and his off-speed pitch.

 

He's going to finish this season with fewer wins than Mat Latos.

Hawk ok?

I hope not

Borderline strikes are going against us

Lol Avi just swung at all balls.
