Baseball is broken.

He’s ready, but years ago without social media and daily updates, nobody would have questioned keeping a 21-yr old in AAA all season, let alone half a season. They would have said- great season, he’ll be up next year. And that’s what will happen.

well, not good, but watchable at least.

I love it when guys are able to hit to the opposite field. Tim's recent development of that ability and willingness, is absolutely HUGE!!

Even though 4 points separate 1st from 3rd in my roto league, and I'm in 2nd. I have Tanaka on my team and I'm not even mad. This game could cost me $200 at the end of the season and it really doesn't bother me. I love that the Sox are winning. Moncada, Anderson, Rodon doing good things, to me, outweighs the $200. I'd gladly sacrifice the $200 now for years of enjoyment. Maybe that is crazy, idk. I love my Sox.

I think so.  Gio has been better.  Rodon has been good, I won't call it great until he gets his Ks up.  Kopech is up and hopefully will be the real deal.  That is 3/5 rotation being what I would call good.  That is a big step up from the first half of the season.

Offense has been getting a lot more homeruns of late.  They have had less games where the offense looks completely overmatched.  We may be climbing out of bottom of the rebuild....maybe.

Davidson is not good.  I don’t think he has a place on this team after this year.

Rodon reminds me somewhat of Buehrle.

That's a question I've wondered myself, in a way- if I could GUARANTEE a White Sox World Series win by paying money to some baseball deity, how much would I be willing to pay without any hesitation? It's tough. 

jesus not even close, too bad the Sox don't have a good bullpen.

wow, what a meltdown by Rodon.  How was no one up to start the inning?

I know it's a really tough situation but I still don't get why we called up a fresh Ryan Burr to only use him once in 6 days 

I had no idea Shane Robinson was still in the majors

 

That turn!

wow.  Nice DP to get out of the inning.

Hell yeah!

WOW!

wow, two clutch double plays in consecutive games!  Great turn by Yolmer and Yoan

Ace. Stay healthy.

that was pretty slick.  Yolmer with the pick and pivot and Yoan just rifled that ball, had him by two steps.

Sox definitely sold high on Kahnle.

Clutch pitching by Rodon

These guys are fun to watch at times.  Rodon digging deep and that DP.  Good stuff there.

don't guess Yoan

Kahnle throwing 93/94. Damn Cooper dialing him down.

ESPN announcers full of love for Engel
