Nope. I want them to lose all but 3 games the rest of the season. Give me another top 5 draft pick, top 3 if we can hang on to it.

Unless they see him reverting back or not following instruction, so they pull him.

It's a good rule.

I think they are trying to fix him, not win games.

I'm not gay, so I guess my straight point of view doesn't really allow for me to say that friends calling each other gay is normal and forgivable behavior for a high schooler, but I hear people use the "R word" at least a few times a week either at work or in general and while that does does personally affect me, I also don't think they need to be ruined or lose their jobs over it. I just chalk it up as them being ignorant to it's connotations and it's effects on people. I also don't think it means they hate mentally challenged individuals or that they would ever use it towards a mentally challenged person to hurt them.

David Bote walk-off HR on to waveland. LMAO because of course their random minor league fodder continues to suddenly show up.

Knowing the Sox, I wonder if they give him 3-4 starts in AA before they bump him up.

If his 2019 is anything like his 2018, his debut BETTER be in 2020. By midseason we could be looking at a top 20 prospect, similar to how Kopech is viewed. Save him until mid-April 2020 for service time. The only exception for me being if 2019 is somehow a competitive year and they want him to end his 2019 season by coming out of the Sox bullpen for a playoff push.

EVERY team passed on Cole Hamels before the Cubs. All 13 other NL teams passed on Murphy before the Cubs had a chance to claim him. This took a collection of all the other teams having their thumbs up their asses to get these guys to the Cubs. The Cubs had no advantages here, just unbelievable luck. EDIT: Nevermind on Hamels. I wasn't sure if he was a waiver pick up, and when I googled it, the "Cubs claim Hamels off waivers" headline was from 2014.

And now Murphy hits a game-winning HR in the 8th. It's amazing that NO ONE wanted these two guys, and now they are saving the Cubs asses. How lucky can you be. EDIT: My jinx worked! Saurez ties it in the 9th. But I'm sure Murphy will it a walkoff in the 10th or 11th.

And what a fucking shove of a season it was. I think it will be hard for Fangraphs not to place him in their top 50 next season after this.

Less years of team control = a player staying with a team longer?? I think you misread what I typed...

And teams having less than 6+ years of control for a young player is something fans should.....want? I'm not saying I don't GET why Eloy would do this. I am saying as a fan, I hate this. I prefer the Sox have Eloy under control for 15 years, but obviously the players don't want that.

Yeah, obviously. I'm talking about AS A WHITE SOX FAN, why would this be good? Like I said, it's only going to make Hahn look like a bad guy, or possibly create tension between Eloy and Hahn.

And why would that be good?

Oh, and Wilbur Perez struck out 8 and walked 1 batter in 5 IP. Now has 75 K to 21 BB in 70 IP.

Solid start for Kodi. 5 2/3 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K. He threw 92 pitches. Bryce Bush with is first multi-strikeout game since July 24th. His K% has skyrocketed up to 14% on the season. His BB% rate is the same 14%.

Our AA catcher's defense reminds you of our former 3B prospect? Huh?

I hate this because it's going to make Hahn look like a bad guy when he doesn't call him up. Or it's going to make it seem like there will be tension now from Eloy because he wrote this article begging to be called up and then he gets denied. I wish he wrote this next April and then the Sox called him up the next day. But now, it's too late.

Kopech was dumb for not deleting these, but in my opinion, there is a distinction between saying a hateful word and making a hateful comment. His tweets were not hateful, he just used a couple of slurs that are frowned up. Step foot on to any High School, even college, and you'll hear everyone calling eachother gay and the N-word, white or not. It's because they are trying to be funny or cool, not because they are trying to hurt anyone or cause trouble. EDIT: So he deleted them a while ago, and apparently this girl was sitting on these screenshots until he got called up and someone said she tried to go to TMZ with these first, likely for money. Awful.

Could also be visa issues. I don't know how easy it is to bring these kids stateside mid-season.

His reasoning was that Darvish has talked about retiring even prior to signing his last contract, and with how hated he feels he might not feel he has earned the money and walk away from it all. Darvish seems to be a weird guy, so it wouldn't shock me. But I have no idea if that's just random speculation by Kaplan or actual things he is hearing.

In a trade with the Cubs for Shields, what can we even expect back? Maybe someone like SS Zack Short? 2B Luis Verdugo? CF Fernando Kelli, who is 20 and appears to be outrageously fast (108 SB in 170 minor league games)?

Today is the day. Will there be over 30,000? Will the rain stay away long enough to get an uninterrupted start? Will SoxTalk be will represented?
