Sale just gave up 7 hits to 10 batters. Sale can't melt down like that.

The game would've been entirely different had Saladino made a good throw and gotten out of the inning.

Tyler has a .672 career OPS. If it wasn't for his last 17 games, he'd be right above that mark this year too. The dude is f***ing garbage, but hey, let's start him over Brett Lawrie next year. It's cool- we're getting used to the cellar.

He's not garbage. That's unfair. He'll probably get a key hit before this game is over.

That's a bit of an overreaction. He's a utility guy.

No. We need to spend September trying out our garbage heap of useless middle infielders who were awesome White Sox prospects but never would have been noticed in a decent farm system. Like Carlos Sanchez here.

No Sox player is going to get a key hit. They might not even get a hit.

Who else should play SS? Anderson has hit the wall and needed a breather.

Like I said...

Eaton was flying

Tyler Saladino is 3-for-4. He's a very very very exciting baseball player. GET RID OF LAWRIE. Play Tyler. Free Tyler!

Has this year taught you anything about the importance of depth? Keep both, let Saladino be a utility player and try to have the best roster possible.

I like Saladino in a rebuilding year situation. He's versatile, and could put up decent numbers. Lawrie is a definite Non tender candidate.

Meh. I want to get rid of s***ty players so that our team can win. I don't like that we accept mediocrities like Tyler. I get that we have other holes to fill, but that doesn't mean we should approve of junk. And we definitely shouldn't let him start every day.

He wouldn't be a true Sox fan without having a knee jerk reaction.

I think Tyler is a starter.

He's not a s***ty player. He's 3-for-4 tonight for gawd sakes and hitting about .290. He has pop in his bat.

People thought Semien sucked too. The man has 25 home runs!!!! Can you say fire Hahn for trading Semien!!

Interesting how once the team is not doing as well, the boo birds all come out to post.

I will defend Saladino to the death.

I'd rather get rid of the people responsible for the s***ty players. That wont happen anytime soon. I'm sure we could score more of them by trading away Sale or Q. People think we have quality scouting, development and luck like the Cubs.

Tired bit. Come up with something else.

Semien doesn't even get on base 30% of the time. That's what we need!

 

Saladino's OPS was .674 until he had this good 18 game stretch. It's a fluke, just like he had at the beginning of his career.

How is that interesting? I call it common.

And if we can't fire Hahn and KW, which you suggest we won't, do you want us to just sit on our hands?

The only thing surprising here is that the blown save can't come from the White Sox.

 

If the Royals avoid Soria, it's possible they avoid the same outcome, just maybe. Abreu should have tried to work Herrera a bit more because they're asking him to go multiple innings, but swung at the first pitch.

Kind of amusing now that we're suddenly touting Semien and Saladino as player development success stories.

 

In typical Sox fashion, Lawrie will make $5-6 million next year in arbitration, get hurt, negating a negligible trade return...and Saladino will end up with a 675 ops at 2b and they still won't have the position covered for 2018.

f*** off Herrera

Semien is 25 years old and has 25 home runs. He's got potential.
