QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) That could be. If he left Sale in and Sale gave up a couple base runners - then he should bring in Roberston to be a hero. Ventura has been watching the same Robertson we have been. The guy has been very shaky lately (tied for league lead in blown saves). It was the wrong move. Today was different he didn't have the option to leave the most dominating pitcher in baseball in for 10 more pitches. Robertson was the only choice. And all I'm saying is. If sale was left in and gave up the lead you and 50 other people would be complaining about not bringing in Robertson. Hindsight is 20/20

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 05:09 PM) Pretty much ignored all the details I posted about the situation. How and why pitchers blow their arms out is highly debatable... I see you are another believe in the fallacy of pitch counts. I'm not. I'm simply puppeting things people would say if that happened. If Robin gets blamed for putting his closer into the game in the ninth then he cannot win with anyone.

Hilarious. If he leaves sale in and sale blows it you'd tear him apart. Or if sale blows his arm out in July people would b**** about riding him too hard earlier in the season. Your closer blowing it isn't robins fault. The defensive miscues and complete lack of offense might be robins fault.

Were so lucky to be able to watch this guy every 5 days.

Chuck and stone are very enjoyable to listen to.

The only thing chuck is better at than hawk is letting us hear stone more.

Too much agreement in here the past few pages . This is the NBA thread, start fighting dammit.

He's gunna be a free agent thus year, can't hurt to scout him even if a deal isn't made or the sox stay in the race.

Been the biggest thibs supporter, but they need a change. Same s*** over and over.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 10, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) If he can do what he did today each time he pitches, I'd be more than happy with him. Giving up 1-2 runs over 7 innings isn't that bad from a #5 starter. That isn't that bad from any starter.

2 tickets to today's game. Section 107. Will email them for free to the first person who PMs me their name/email address.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ May 6, 2015 -> 11:07 PM) The ball he hit would've been a double play if McCann didn't get throw out. He'd be using a much different approach at the plate with a guy at 3rd and 1 out. So you can't say that.

I'm a high school teacher and I do this all the time. So no.

Where the hell was mike dunleavy?

I don't know if I'll watch game 6. Not worth it at this point. I'll save myself 2.5 hours.

This team is so frustrating to watch sometimes.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 08:38 PM) What has the weather been like in April? The ball carries in USCF a lot differently in the summer months (June-August) than April through mid-May and mid to late September. Many of those balls coming up just short at the fence, like the one Melky Cabrera speared, are going to be homers instead. Ball was carrying today. Gordon's homer shouldn't have went out. The ball melky caught felt like it just kept going.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 10:37 AM) Coming out of the huddle of the last play of the Bulls game, I asked out loud why Derrick Rose was on the floor for a defensive possession at the end of the game. I am still waiting for my answer. Dude didn't even get screened. He just lost Mayo. Embarrassingly bad. He's played pretty good defense all series. Especially on ball. I would've had him in there.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 02:34 AM) Anyone doing a franchise in The Show, got a question. I had Rodon in the rotation starting around June, and simmed the rest of the season. When it came to renewing all the contacts for the off-season, you can only make Rodon a basic free agent offer, although his status says "Contract Renewable". If I don't do anything with him in December, he just becomes a free agent. Why isn't he under contract with the Sox, and why doesn't he just get his major league salary another year, since he is a player under team control? He signed with the Rangers, so I just restarted the off-season from my last save. You might have to offer him a contract to keep the rights to him? Then in like February you can just auto renew his contract if he doesn't accept the original offer.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 09:15 AM) It's either that or a doubleheader right after the All-Star Break. Both teams have off days around the 28th, so it's not a bad time to do it. Double header. Screw that off day travel mess.

Gordon walkoff

Jesus the royals pen is just ridiculous.

Laroche trying to kill it when we just need a base hit.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 09:42 PM) Another way to look at this is the Cubs are averaging about 2,000 less fans per game versus last year's avg. The Sox are averaging about 2,000 more. So 2,000 Cub fans have seen the light and been converted. Hallelujah!!! The cubs have 2,000 less seats in their ballpark right now than they did last year.
