QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) His arm angle really seems to have dropped down. He went from being pretty high, to throwing almost like post surgery Jake Peavy. Did he fall into a bad mechanical funk possibly? Adjust his arm angle from pain possibly? He and the Sox make no injury claim so I take them at their word. Did he have problems with Cooper because Cooper wanted to mess with his delivery, or Shark messed with it against Coops wishes? I know it's all speculation but the drop off in velocity is a troubling fact ad I wonder about control. He is a battler out there though and I don't see him blaming anyone but himself.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 10:38 PM) a. there is no rumors or innuendo of shark being a cancer. b. the fact that if he accept the offer, then he is out to prove that 2015 was a bad yr. he will be out to redeem himself. the sox will reap that success. c. if he does redeem himself, their will be a possibility of a trade later. d. there is still a hole in the lineup as is. e. trade him before the season starts if a team will gamble on him. I have heard nothing but rumor on Cooper and Smard not getting along. It is true this could be just bad year, but I will say that some baseball analysts said they didn;' think the Shark was as good as advertised. Saying that the Sox must have or they wouldn't have pulled theta 4 players to Oakland trade. A qualifying offer at the least and a contract at best from the Sox will occur in my opinion

Olt has not impressed and I think his hits with the Sox have all been singles. Defense has not been good. Webb is anyone's guess for 2016 and I will bet you the Sox still try and sign the Shark at a figure obviously below what he might have been looking at earlier in the season.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 03:38 PM) Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 1h1 hour ago Jeff Samardzija has joined Brett Tomko (2003) & Jaime Navarro (1997) as only pitchers in last 50 years to give up 9+ ER 3 times in one year He said the magic words - Jaime Navarro! I still think making a QO is a no-brainer, but he is doing everything he can to change my mind. I think the other stat was he has lost nine straight home starts and is the first Sox pitcher to do that since Tommy John did it in 1969. His ERA is like almost 9.00 at home in that stretch

Sad that the only given is that every five games we get another chance to blast the Smard. trade. The Shark with NO Teeth. No one could have predicted this and it is extremely disappointing. There has got to be some logical answer for his implosion and I think it is some type of injury. But, that might be my softer side talking and refusing to admit he just sucks right now

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 03:10 AM) Oh, don't you worry. Nothing to worry about! Don't let this disgraceful baseball and empty park get you down. You see, this is only "Year 1" of the mighty "3 Year Plan" that is going to right this ship and get us back to the winning ways of a yesteryear long ago. Once we really get going on the rest of this plan, you'll see! You'll see the greatness that JR (Moe), KW (Larry), and Hahn (Curley) have coming our way. Just two years to go!! You will forget this year if year two is good

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 07:15 AM) Do you mean Flowers? Catcher's interference and passed ball. I saw the replay on Flower's passed ball and wondered what the heck did he just do there

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 01:04 AM) Thing is...Oakland's not supposed to have a good defense either (you may have heard something about the quality defense of their SS). So if the defense is an excuse for why so many guys in our rotation are down, that should hit Gray too. You mean defensive shortstop with 34 errors?

Ramirez

Covered all the time zones in this four game series. Let's beat em!

Maybe the only more disappointing team then the Sox and Tigers

Go Team Go

SWell they have Sonny Gray pitching but he can be beat-maybe

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 07:56 PM) Said this all year, but Montas should absolutely be trade bait this offseason. Good luck ever making him a starter I don't know about that. A starter who throws 98 plus is pretty good. It seems though that every hard thrower that we hve come along gets sent to the pen. I was afraid that was where Sale was going to get stuck

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) He's been the shadow manager, making the pitching moves. He's been KW's mole...been here long enough. Infield defense was fine during most of his tenure. Sox have invested plenty of resources (players and otherwise) into pitchers. Thornton and Quintana are his claims to fame. He did make a winner of Esteban Loaiza, but you can't rest of past laurels

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) Yes, already 4-0, just going to enjoy the Bears actually having a 2nd half shot against GB for now. Watching the Bears game here too. Another first inning melt down and the homeruns allowed is just too much to take

let us strive mightily to smite those two-headed Twinkies

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 02:48 AM) Danks, surely you jest? Did Greg hijack your account? Doc White, Cicotte, Sale, W. Wood, Gossage 5. Pierce 4. Hoyt Wilhelm/Buehrle 3. Lyons 2. Red Faber 1. Ed Walsh Hoyt Wilhelm pitched in relief not as a starter. As much as I love Sale I think it's too early to put him as in the all time elite group
