Reynaldo Lopez is the Anti-Quintana. All the run support in the world, still can't buy a win

Lol.

it's a shit move to come in and pile on but FFS I'm sick of people with shitty arguments online getting butthurt when someone with a better argument calls them out.  Someone was using RBI to value Jose Abreu and it's just as dumb to use blown saves or saves for Colome.  Disinfo and misinfo is ripe online, it's time to push back against bad arguments.

Balta was presenting a bad argument himself, nobody said Colome was a perfect closer.  Vilehoopster disagreed that he needed to be traded, felt like he is a good piece going forward. There is nothing wrong with that and there is also nothing wrong with wanting to trade him for prospects if a good deal comes along. Both things can be good for the white Sox without presenting a "see he isn't perfect like you all said he is" strawman

Thank you for understanding my frustration.

Flowers‘ framing numbers were good, but his blocking skills were Castilloesque.

We’re at the point with Burdi and Hamilton that we might be better off holding onto him if they actually plan on being competitive next year.   Who’s on the free agent market that would be more effective?

What an AB by Jose!!!

Wowo!

Of course he did.

 

This game man ?

haha fuck boston

Get outa here !!!!!!

Well look at that

ABREUUUUUUUUUU

ABREU!!! @ron883 , please keep posting in the Abreu thread!

I had to step away and missed most of the bottom of the 8th...is it safe to say that they get out of that inning with the lead if Rondon doesn't screw up?

Lmao fuck you ron you piece of shit this is a personal attack

I was just about to type out “I give up”. 

And then BOMB!

Well...apparently it's not over until the fat lady sings.

Fair enough.  I don't really have a dog in the fight.  Colome is an decent closer but he's not elite and only the elite ones really get much at the deadline.

I mean all things considered not a terrible line for Lopez, but he definitely didn‘t make it look easy.

Technically, a QS, which I know you love.

And his argument for that was that he was 16 for 16 on saves and only Colome and Hand were perfect on saves this year. 

Even if the rest of his argument is correct that he is a better bullpen piece than we're likely to find elsewhere, that part of the logic was terrible and that's not the only time we've heard it over the last month. And to illustrate how bad of a point it is - it fell apart today without it being his fault at all. 

Fouled off 6 pitches. Hopefully this game starts a hot streak for Abreu.

Did not see that coming.  With the at-bat lasting forever, I was betting on a wild swing at a bad pitch for a K.
