QUOTE (Mike F. @ Sep 19, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Hell of a game right there for Carlos. Time for the pen to piss on it. I would have still left him in.

Complete game would be awesome.

Keep the kid in.

QUOTE (AlSoxfan @ Sep 19, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) Rodon at 71 pitches after 6 innings...not to bad He's also throwing harder too.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 19, 2015 -> 08:26 PM) Plenty of time to piss this one away. Ventura is working on it.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 19, 2015 -> 06:52 AM) with the idea of last place, in what, division, league or the whole of baseball. Division.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 06:01 PM) Greg does get ripped for saying a lot of things that actually wind up being correct. He goes way out there sometimes, I think he would admit that, but he usually as close as anyone when measuring accuracy. He's very passionate about the Sox and for the insults aimed at him he is one of the most civil posters here.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Sep 19, 2015 -> 08:18 AM) Last game we had posters thinking the Twins knew something that was tipping his pitchers. They must have shared w the Indians. I think he is just running out of gas down the stretch. He has had a hell of a season so I wish they would let him take it easy for the next few weeks. He is the franchise and they need to keep him healthy. Put him in bubble wrap for the off season as well since he got injured before the season started.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 07:44 AM) Remember when Y. Ventura quick-pitched Eaton and it led to that brawl? And Samardzija was in the middle of it all, and most of us loved him for it? How times have changed... Not me. I could care less for the macho bulls*** in baseball. Stop getting b**** slapped in the game.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 07:06 PM) Balta, I get you wouldn't give him a 3 or 4 year deal, but there will be at least one GM willing to do so. This is Major League Baseball, stupid contacts are given out every year. We'll offer him the QO, he'll reject, and then sign a multi-year below his expectations with some team. Probably the Yankees cause Jim Hendry is there. Guys rarely go from potential seven figure contracts to being limited to one year offers because of single bad year that had nothing to with injuries. His stats are not that great.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 01:52 PM) You don't think the Sox would have taken better care of him than the Yanks last year? If they were to spend that kinda money on starter from Japan, they'd ease him in and they would be good at it. In Japan the season is shorter and probably some other things that makes playing in MLB a shortened career. The Sox were willing to pay Fukadome more money than the Cubs. There was only one Japanese player that ever stood out in MLB. I think they are high risk.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 09:12 PM) Thank God those Sale runs were unearned. I was cringing at the thought of his ERA before I saw the box score. I check his Ks. He's 2nd in baseball in that stat. Shutting him down denies him a chance at being the leader in Ks. It may not be popular with the treating pitchers like glass crowd but it may be a goal he wants to achieve.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) Quietly Perez has twenty homers in an overall disappointing season for him. $7 million over 5 years. Best bargain in baseball. Meanwhile, Cueto the latest example of NL stars looking suddenly human in the AL. Ironic that two main players who fizzled for them this year, Frasor and Alex Rios, both played for the Sox. That will go unnoticed in the Sox organization.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) They're probably going to be too afraid to trade him due to the blowback/White Flag spectre so Quintana gets dealt instead. I don't think they trade him either.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) Seriously. Surprised people still complain about Cooper and pitch counts. We've had a terrific run under Cooper with the lack of major injuries to the starters. He knows what he's doing. He's hard to replace unless you find someone better. The Sox never replace with someone better. They look for a former favorite player from the 80s and 90s.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) Like I said earlier...that's exactly what we should be doing with him right now. He's got 2 starts left. Work him the last 2 starts and hopefully that builds his arm up next year so that maybe next year or even 2017 we don't have to worry about a "dead arm" hitting him in July. Didn't he have high pitch counts in April?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 07:59 PM) The Sox do have a lot of holes Catcher also is a huge hole to me. I think that is the toughest one to fill for any team. It's not a glamorous position.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 07:17 PM) Sale should have been shelved 2 weeks ago. Most of the usual suspect in the lineup. This is not "young player friendly" organization, especially with Cooper and Ventura in the dugout. But I'm sure glad Melky loves Robbie as manager. I hate this attitude. Pitchers are not glass. Has MLB become this pussified?

According MLB, Sale has no earned runs. Is that right?

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) i agree. they have been looking and when jones went down last yr. no other pitcher was able to step up. and Jone is not that guy and neither was that dude they traded to AZ

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) Also, I think what you mentioned is why it's disappointing they didn't unload Robertson last month. You can easily acquire a closer for cheaper/less years going forward if you start to make some progress in talent acquisition this offseason. No reason to pay huge money for Robertson given his struggles this year. I highly doubt he'd get the same amount of money if he was a FA this offseason. I bet Hahn listened to offers and is not the sumpin for nuttin guy. I disagree about getting a closer for less and be effective. Otherwise they would have done it.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) It pisses me off, that's for sure. Sick of bad defensive players. Would rather see how Sanchez could hold up at short and Saladino at 3b. They're potentially part of this future, Olt isnt. I guess the organization knows what they have in those two.

QUOTE (AlSoxfan @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 04:35 PM) yep..another good game by Q and another no decision. I know wins mean little in today's game but come on. Maybe Robin should let him win his own games. Robertson is starting to join the mental midgets.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 06:00 AM) 1. Avisail* 2. No, you can't just make someone a third baseman. Especially someone with his athleticism. The organization has done stuff like this before. They tried to turn Viciedo in playing 3rd. Even Cora couldn't do anything with Fields. I never understood where the Sox ever thought this would work. You might be able to do this with someone is who is extremely talented in baseball but the organization never gets or can recognize those players. They even try this with veteran players playing positions they are not use to and sometimes it effects their overall play. He is the fans' new whipping boy. I wonder if that would be the case if the veterans weren't so unproductive.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) It's absolutely annoying to me how the Twins go hitless 3 or 4 innings in a row, then have a huge inning. They're 23rd in overall batting average, yet 4th in average with RISP. Wasn't that their MO before?
