South Side Fireworks Man

How will the defense blow this one? Robertson better strike out the side to insure a victory.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 03:47 PM) Beckham still sucks. Hopefully a team will take him for late defense, and can finally close the book. I like Beckham as a utility infielder. His weakness is exposed when he starts too often.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) I wish each game had their own review crew, where they are proactive on any potential review. Replay is good. Getting as many calls right as possible is a good thing. They just need to be faster and better at it. Most bad calls in every ballgame occur on balls and strikes so then why not replace the home plate umpire with a pitch trax type system?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 03:30 PM) That is 2 challenges for the Rangers lost and If they want another just ask. It should be you lose it for game no exceptions. That makes so much sense that it shouldn't even need to be said, yet here we are. MLB is a joke.

Stupid replay system again. What a f***ing joke this is,

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) That's kinda my reaction too. Heck, aren't we ahead in this game because of a defensive miscue on a double play ball? Exactly.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) We want Micah! I want someone good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 02:19 PM) Overpowered by 91 mph fastballs was Sanchez. Again, what are they thinking keeping him in the lineup? I'm glad the Sox are so deep at middle infield talent. At least that's what I kept reading for the past year or two.

Takes strike three right down the middle.

C'mon Martinez, hit Sanchez too!

DP ball turns into two runs for the Sox.

Melky found a way to get on base.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 01:59 PM) I definitely think it does help but these shouldn't take 3 minutes. Maybe they should change it to where they can't use stop motion to review safe/out calls on the basepaths. Just use slow motion to review the play. If it's close enough to where you have to use stop action and look at it over and over then the call on the field should stand. Replay should only overturn gross errors by the umps. Otherwise, go all the way and automate the ball/strike calls to remove all of the human element.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 01:58 PM) Sox should send all there players to Academy camp for defense. They should send them to some other organization's Academy.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 01:50 PM) Rangers lost the review rest of game right............wrong they can ask for umpire review so losing challenge does not mean s***. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 01:54 PM) No umpire request has been denied in 2015. The whole system sucks. And a good percentage of the time they don't get it right on replay anyway.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) What's worse, MLB replay or the White Sox? And I ask again...

What's worse, MLB replay or the White Sox?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) Then you lose your draft picks and farm system gets worse. Plus, they will overpay for whomever they get. Start with the farm. They'll be getting top draft choices for the next few years. Get some Cubans. Get some guys who can run and play defense. Get lucky. Sox don't draft or develop position players well. That's a big part of the problem.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) Red Sox up 6 runs in the 8th, Oakland up 4-1 with Gray on the mound but earlier. If both win we will have the worst winning %age in the AL after tonight. The White Sox have once again become one of the most irrelevant franchises in professional sports. Good job JR and company.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 09:39 PM) Melky's the kind of baseball player who could get a GM fired. In this case that would be a good thing.

Hahn certainly put together a great roster.

Let's see if Melky can do something good here.

Eaton takes a straight fastball right over the plate for strike two.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 09:23 PM) Can Hahn go as well? Need a new owner.

Sometimes you just have to laugh.
