Look at Ray Ray Run

Guys, the White Sox look amazing offensively and the best bat of the bunch, possibly, hasn't even joined the club yet. This... is....... amazing.

Let's talk about Robert, because what he is doing is pretty incredible. On August 12th, Rick Renteria watched Robert finish off a 3/25 stretch with 11 K's. He was reeling; swinging at everything, and pitchers were taking advantage. Luis got a day of on the August 13th and 14th - in that time, he said he "figured it out" with coach. Plenty of players say things like that, but Robert doesn't just say them... he does them. Since that day, Robert is hitting 16/48 (.333) with 8 home runs, and four walks. He's raised his OPS from .816 to .960. When Luis Robert didn't change his approach and walk more last year, it was because he didn't have to. Luis reluctantly realized he can't swing at literally everything and he's already adjusted and he has destroyed the league. Robert said he figured it out and he meant forever. Pray for the league.

Hopefully Codi shook off that turbulence from that on and off flight to Minneapolis.

You can't drop a baseball on purpose. Dead ball. 1 out. Umps on the field blew the call terribly.

Chicago White Sox guy PNoles again

Nicky big stick just dropping them in where he wants!

gotta get one here

what?

Big game tonight. Love to see Giolito shut them down after getting lit up in game 1.

lol i thought it was pretty funny. now sure how it's personal, but it gives me a laugh when i see it.

hmmm, show me in my post where I called you a "bunch of names?" As I asked SS2k, please don't lie and make up things I never said. Don't put words in my mouth. Ignore me if you have an issue with my posts, and go cry to someone else because you making this personal is your own problem.

thank goodness for your countless contributions to the board during this time. i think you've made 4 posts and 3 were about me telling me to stay on topic. It's ironic, but I respect your commitment to it. I'm glad you got the boards approval and that makes you feel better. I didn't realize e-dap was the decider, but if it is my ratio is slightly better. Also what "names" did I call you lol?

Hahn said he has earned a spot in the rotation.

?this is hilarious because it's literally the first thing that popped into my head when it was confirmed he wasn't traded. like wait... why was cishek pitching yesterday if you weren't maybe moving some of the other guys?

He has 4 starts left this year. how much was a team really willing to pay extra for four starts?

i thought they'd get a bullpen arm or another insurance arm; the mid level guys seemed nearly free. maybe they really are up against the budget ceiling.

Gotta think they get something done. Even if small.

yes, every post in this thread is about the trade deadline. ive' made tons of posts about trades. meanwhile you've made one post in this thread and it had nothing to do with the topic at hand. congratulations. keep posting some fake rumors and keep that insider cred.

again ss2k, don't misrepresent the words i say. i never said rumors shouldn't be allowed a soxtalk. i never said not steve's tweets should be banned. you are free to discuss the rumors all you want, and i'm free to tell you they have no credibility and are fake nonsense. that's a part of the discussion/ i have said racist vile nonsense shouldn't be allowed here. if that's a problem for you, and you want to be critical of me requesting that, I'm happy to move along. It's your board and if that's your directive, go ahead and do that. Don't start spewing nonsense that I'm asking to censor baseball and sports discussion because it's nonsense, and it's misrepresenting my words. Thanks in advance.

what are you rambling about? yes ss2k, i complain when racist vile nonsense is allowed at soxtalk. me saying fake sources shouldn't be given credibility isn't saying it shouldn't be allowed here.

the mind of a fan: "everything is a plant that involves upping the offer for my team who is the clear favorite to trade for this guy."

lol not trying to bury the guy; i'm pointing out he's a fraud and not a source. no idea why you want to promote his credibility or give him the benefit of the doubt but to each there own.

If they agreed to a Lynn trade 24 hours ago, seems pretty messed up that there were still teams connected to Lynn this morning and afternoon... you'd think the Rangers would have to stop shopping a guy they've already traded, but yet people are still talking to the Rangers about Lynn.

... so all these other teams agreeing to trades today really agreed to them days ago? Come on man, it's the trade deadline. No one is holding news on an agreed trade for 24 hours.

I'm just saying even if a trade happens, it quite obviously wasn't agreed to 24 hours ago.
