YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) No you wouldn't, as there's no reason to rebuild unless they trade your BFF Sale. If trading Sale meant that the Sox as a team would be good again, I'd be all for it. Sale is one of my all time favorites, but I'd much rather have the Sox be successful as a team than him.

Harry Chappas Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Wow Kluber is not even changing things up just pounding the strike zone and getting easy outs. The late inning smoke and mirror magic is gone and now we are left with a team that struggles to score more then three runs a game and is shut down rather easily.

GreenSox Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 25, 2016 -> 02:01 PM) They're not going to rebuild with Quintana, Sale, Rodon, Eaton, and Abreu locked up for cheap. It was never a matter of rebuilding ...it was a matter of building and amassing sufficient young talent. All they needed was another offseason or 2. But after a reasonably successful effort in 2013, Williams and Hahn reversed tack and went for the veterans....which is essentially what williams had been doing (and failing at) for years. There is a reason that championship teams are built the way Williams/Hahn want to construct a team. At this point, I would ride it out, while using Charlotte more to try out a few players.

Harry Chappas Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Please end the Jimmy Rollins show Rollins has 8 RBI on 2 home runs and has a guy who has had an OBP around .400 for most of the season in front of him. Think about that. Rollins has to be a KW guy...... Sickening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 When you really look at our opponents and most of their ABs and compare that with ours you can just tell who has a better game plan at the plate. Ours has always been horses*** 90% of our games and I am tired of it. Get a whole new group in there already and change up how we go about getting ready to face a pitcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Sox are also famous for rushing guys who are not ready and then failing. Yet they continue to do it. Saladino can at least field the ball and gives the same offensive output as Rollins. Really sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) With men on 1st and 2nd and two outs and the cards mounting a comeback, Wong swing 3-0 and flew out....and then made an error to lead off the next inning. If Wong was facing the White Sox it would be a two run game tying double. Edited May 25, 2016 by Harry Chappas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
