  1. Are you not entertaining it because you don't think we will make a true push for them by offering them as much as any other team? Or are you not entertaining it because you don't think Harper or Machado will want to play for the White Sox, even if we have an offer on the table that is as good as any other team's? I'm quoting TaylorSt, but this question is also for Dick Allen.
  2. Robert played on Monday and Wednesday this week and rested Tuesday and Thursday. I imagine he will be back in the lineup tonight. On Wednesday, he went 1-3 with a double and a BB. Laz Rivera went 4-6 with 3 runs scored last night. Burdi has been pitching well in limited action. He still is yet to give up an earned run in 4.2 innings. 5 K's and 1 BB over that span.
  3. Robert was back in the lineup last night. He went 1-4 with a K and a run scored.
  4. Flores has been one of my favorite prospects to follow. I would probably have him higher on the list, but I am partial to guys who know how to throw strikes and change speeds. I know strikeouts are everybody's favorite thing these days, but I'll take a guy who has learned how to get guys out all day. I can see him as a back end part of the rotation in 2-3 years.
  5. I believe it is how many plays he made defensively that were out of the normal "fielding zone". So it's basically showing how many extra plays he was able to make due to his range. I'm no expert, though, so somebody can confirm.
  6. Hated the decision to take Freeland out. If a guy is pitching that well and you have the lead, you don’t over-manage and make a move.
  7. Taught me more about the game of baseball than anyone else. It was truly awesome having someone in the booth that wanted the Sox to win as much as I did. Cheers!
  8. What exactly did he say? I’m a big fan of The Wire, but I missed the game, so I’m curious. I’m assuming it had to be something with Omar. Omar comin?
  9. Are you saying you think his ceiling is David Eckstein?
  10. Very true. That'll be pretty interesting if he chooses to discuss it.
  11. Even if he signs somewhere else, we will never know if he is holding a grudge. Plenty of players sign elsewhere and have no grudge at all.
  12. What’s the deal with Bush? Hasn’t been in the lineup for a few days. Sorry if it was discussed in another thread.
  13. Every single affiliate (including the Sox) played a one run game yesterday. Three extra inning wins, and three one run losses.
  14. Looked like his shin, but I’m not really sure.
  15. Interesting approach. I've always thought it would be better to focus on the right fielder's ear, but the pitcher's hand does seem to make more sense.
  16. One of the most popular things about Collins that people like to say here is that “nobody outside of the organization seems to think he will stick at catcher.” I guess that is no longer an accurate statement.
  17. Spun his wheels and never got going full speed again.
  18. That replay is exactly how I know it hit him. You could see the ball slightly change directions. No doubt in my mind.
  19. How is everybody in this thread claiming that pitch didn't hit Grossman? There is no doubt in my mind that it hit him. What are you guys watching?
  20. I'm not trying to claim the team record when he pitches should determine how good he has been pitching, but it does show that he is giving the team a chance to win. The ERA in July and August is high because of a couple horrible starts, but 7 of his last 10 starts have been good/great outings. Sometimes the team's record isn't a very a good indicator of how somebody has pitched (like with DeGrom), but for Giolito, I think it is a pretty indicator over his last 10 starts. We won two games where he pitched terrible, but we lost two games where he pitched very well.
  21. I would say that Giolito has stepped up during the second half. The Sox are 7-3 in the last 10 games he has started, so I'd say he is giving them a chance to win. Also, two of those three losses are by a score of 2-1.
  22. Bush with an RBI double.
