QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 03:59 PM) I think I remember reading in the off season that bullpens are easy to put together and that the back end of the bullpen isn't a priority because teams can just plug pitchers in there. I think that story was written before Larussa changed things. Like the ole Hawkeroo said---it's all about the bullpen now. I am hoping Coop can fix em. Oh, wait a minute...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 11:22 PM) Let Leury pitch the 9th Harold Reynolds would tell you to respect the game. They still have relievers to use don't they?

Watching some of the play highlows on MLBN and they are commenting that in 2013 the Sox were just bad and boring but not this year. They think the Sox have a lot better team then what is showing on the field today

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 11:18 PM) We're going to have alot of candidates for release this offseason that's for sure. Be interesting off season to see how they fill out the pitching staff and in particular the pen for 2015

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 11:16 PM) Make more excuses for GB Hawk. What are your talking about?

in just over 2 innings the pen has given up 12 runs OMG

I guess it's just one game. If they can ever get out of it

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 11:06 PM) 10 of last 11 Twins hitters Belisario has faced have reached. I was st adding up his line for the last 2 games. Beyond bad

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 08:19 PM) This doesn't sound good Seth Lakso ‏@SethLakso Hearing that after being hit by pitch, Garcia slammed his helmet to the ground and walked off the field. After fighting back fro a bad injury you sure don't want to hear he has a broken wrist or something

Good to see success for Viciedo

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 04:10 AM) For what? Guys you'd like to hang out with or do shots? Why are you so negative?

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 07:01 PM) If you do not dump the salary of Beckham, Danks, or Dunn, you really failed the organization. And I'm your biggest fan. Sincerely, AtC Round file

• Outfielder Blake Tekotte was traded from the White Sox to Arizona for cash considerations. Tekotte, 27, hit .251 with 11 homers and 35 RBIs this season for Charlotte, and .226 over 31 at-bats with the White Sox in 2013.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 07:35 PM) Left wrist Is it bad?

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 07:14 PM) Just saw avisail had to leave the game after being hit by a pitch, don't know where, hope it's nothing If it's not one thing it's something else. Hopefully it's just precautionary

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 07:04 PM) Sox are going to have to live with Gillaspie's defense or move him to a new position eventually. I don't know. He has made some pretty good plays over there. Is our star AAA prospect better in the field?

It is hard to project the left fielder. De Aza has some speed and swings a pretty good bat but after that failed catch of the liner last night that brought in 2 runs ---not good. Viciedo is an enigma. So much talent but just can't break through with a consistent approach at the plate. Sierra is young, but I think has a chance to stick but can he be a starter?

Ramirez

QUOTE (SoIL @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 12:04 AM) Direct TV is telling me the Sox/Twins are blacked out on WGN. anyone else having this problem? I just watched WEdnesday on WGN. I watched on WGN. But, I don't live in the Chicago area if that matters to the broadcasts. It was another bullpen melt down. Sad

Dunn

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) Beckham batting 2nd against a RH.......... Thanks Robin I have always felt that for the most part righty-lefty matchups are overhyped. You really see the benefit with a lefty pitcher and a lefty hitter and not so much right-right IMO

At least we can say that this offense never quits

it's on WGN

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 04:57 AM) Not totally. I feel like it's not in the cards to make a run this year either way. Here are guys I despise with my comments on them not getting moved. • Dunn - I didn't expect anybody to take him, so how can I be mad? It's destined that he finish the string with the Sox. Will be interesting to see who replaces him at DH. I guess it'll be Viciedo, unless ... • Viciedo - I believed the rumors and thought maybe Seattle would want him, or maybe even KC. Not thrilled about him going to KC cause you just know he'd feast on Sox pitching. s***, 19 games vs the Sox per season? He hits .450 vs. the Sox it could affect his career! You know he'd be just like Chen, Guthrie, valuable pretty much only because of his performance vs. the Sox. So we keep him and see if he can figure it out. ... • Beckham - I believed the Frisco rumors and hoped Sox would get two minor leaguers for him. I don't think he'll be with the Sox next year, so whatever. • DeAza - I figured nobody in their right minds would trade for him, so not disappointed. • Relievers - I would have been happy had any one of those guys got traded, but again, there's no value out in the pen so no surprise. Guys whom I don't despise and glad they are still here . ... • Danks - I like Danks and am glad he's still a Sox. I really don't care about the payroll until it's so high that it actually matters dropping salary. Jerry can pay him just as fans pay all that money for beer and parking. • Alexei - He's having such a good year. I'm thinking if the Sox ever hope to contend again, they need a ss at least as good as Lexi. Trading him now would have been buzzkill. It really would have hurt the team's chances of sticking close to .500 which will be a nice improvement over last year's 99 losses. • Q - There's no reason to trade Q. Again, if Hahn isn't lying and he wants to contend without a total rebuild, Sox need the Big 3 lefties of Sale, Q and Danks with Rodon joining the rotation next year with hopefully a free agent righty joining the mix. Or trade Danks if you must and get a suitable righty for him, too. GO SOX! Surprised we have a team at all after your un down LOL
