White Sox Ace Chris Sale took his remote control toy car out for a spin on the snow-covered outfield at U.S. Cellular Field on Saturday morning, shortly before Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer flew his drone around the park.

 

Sale's toy easily navigated the snow bumps on the field, while Bauer accidentally crashed his drone into the new jumbo-sized video board.

I don't know if this subject was already mentioned at Soxtalk yet, but I find this appalling that the White Sox would allow players to operate their toy drones inside USCF in the first place. The Sox' new $8 Million scoreboard was only 1 day old, and it has already been damaged. Apparently the drone that chashed before the game on Saturday was operated by Trevor Bauer of the Indians. From the photo at the letsgotribe website, I think I see the damage at the lower left part of the scoreboard where the drone made contact.

 

Are the Sox going to make Bauer pay for the repairs?

Looks like the Indians are carrying their own Drake LaRoche

Like a good neighbor...

This was covered awhile ago, they said it never actually made contact that he turned it off before it got there.

Oh well that settles it.

No. He said that. The damage to the board kind of tells another story.

Why do people think there is damage then?

Because there is.

Because there is.

Where?

Like a good neighbor...

...stay over there.

Where?

Left lower corner. There is a big white spot. I actually was there Saturday and it was quite noticeable when you walked by.

Historically, Trevor Bauer has always had pretty poor control.

The Tribune got pictures of both the drone and the scoreboard.

He claimed he shut if off well before it would hit the scoreboard. Then how did it clear the fan deck?

Oh interesting, I saw on the news they said there wasnt any damage. they should send us a good player for that.

But in all seriousness, Bauer should pay for it.

I mean, we should get Lindor right?

It looks like a crack from underneath it. I had no idea a drone crashed into it when I saw it. I thought maybe it was just part of what was on the board when I walked by. But definitely damage, although when I was sitting behind the dugout, you can't see anything wrong with the board.

That seems pretty fair.

Ultimate payback would be Chris Sale flying a drone into that huge Progressive Field board. That would show them that we mean business in this battle of "who has the biggest scoreboard".

But in all seriousness, Bauer should pay for it.

 

Indentured Servitude sounds right to me.

Ha, we've found our 5th starter.

Honestly, if a little plastic drone can cause that kind of damage, maybe the people that installed it should pay for it for selling us a scoreboard with the durability of Chris Conte.

 

Seems like something that should be a bit tougher.

But in all seriousness, Bauer should pay for it.

 

shouldn't the Indians pay for it?...since he's their "property".

Firing squad sounds fair to me.
