Pathetic effort by Saladino. This inning is rock bottom for this organization.

 

It took a bad hop

Damn great D from Saladino

 

Done for the night!!!!

 

 

 

 

Well JB s*** is coming back to the team

Who wanted him?

Well we were dumb enough to trade for him despite his bad peripherals, unless you're arguing that we're the dumbest team in the league then somebody should have wanted him

What happened to Tilson and how bad did it look?

I wonder if Morneau would want to stay with the Sox. It would be a shame for the Sox to pay to rehabilitate him in a lost season only to see him sign elsewhere and resume tormenting the Sox in another uniform.

Why would anyone want to stay with this horses*** organization?

 

It's a f***ing joke.

He will be a waiver trade over next few weeks

I bet he goes back to Minnesota to finish his career.

It's not Charlie Tilson's fault we traded for him. For a team mired in mediocrity, the definition of a trade to keep them there is trade a lefty reliever when we have no one to replace him in exchange for a guy whose ceiling is 4th outfielder according to scouts. And then we're left still needing a lefty reliever next year too. He makes us worse this year and potentially next.

 

That said, he was all I had to be excited about the rest of the season. And yes I feel bad he's hurt and hope it's not bad. BUT when they say the question for him is his hit tool, and then he takes a joke of a read on a fly ball igniting a SIX run inning. Then follows it up with again taking an awkward closure on a ball and jumping awkwardly, well let's just say a smooth fielder he is not. Yes it's one half of one game but a pretty awful fielding debut.

 

And where does that leave us? Having to watch Avi Garcia continue to play.

 

UN-WATCHABLE.

No kidding

Sox say Tilson strained hamstring to be evaluated tomorrow. fingers crossed.

You watch his s*** because it's your team!! Thick or thin.. Yes it sucks ass but it is what it is.. Feel free to be a Cub fan..

This is troubling. When they first made the trade I read scouting reports that he was just an average defender and a ground ball hitter. Later I read that Sox scouts said he was a line drive hitter and a "terrific fielder."

 

This brings flashbacks of Hahn declaring Rob Mackowiak "can really play some centerfield" or him thinking Avi Garcia could be a star centerfielder.

 

I want to believe Tilson is going to be a solid ballplayer but from what we just saw I hope it's not another White Sox scouting failure/talent mis-evaluation.

Hope that's what it is. No ACL

Matt Albers another good sign to heed the peripherals

Shields 26 batters faced, one K. how is that even possible?

Not watching but heard Avi hit a bomb and rewound it. Holy s*** he crushed that LOL

If he goes on dl, bring up Shuck and Leury. This bench needs depth to the point Avi never has to play outfield again. Send down a bum ass reliever.

They look capable of going 23-34 the final 57. 74-88. Something like that.

57 more games....long season

Any chance this convinces anyone who was talking about how well Shields was pitching and blasting anybody mentioning his peripherals to reconsider?

I think Shields is probably finished, just not a big fan of peripherals or saber in general. What kind of peripherals did Mark Buehrle carry most of the time? I hate the one size fits all of Saber and the made up formulas. Yeah I know, I'm an idiot. In the meantime more carnage on the field for the Sox.

That would be pathetic considering the start to the season. 51-78 after the 23-10 start lol
