I probably learn more about the White Sox watching the opposing broadcast. Hawk just isn't very educational.
-
BTW who is the Sox catcher this game? What do you know about him?

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) Oh hey Duke in the 8th.. at least we have the top of the order to face their closer Another guy I would have throw a baseball until Feb. Now he is proving me wrong.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) Atleast they were solo HRs. He made some bad pitches but he can fix that. He was ahead of hitters and giving up HRs. He's also facing the best team in the AL. I'd say it's a good outing.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 02:40 PM) Not cheap if they mean to make contact and make other team make a play. KC limits their strikeouts and fields a speedy team. Team speed forces a lot of mistakes.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 02:39 PM) Why make your catcher bunt with two catchers in the bench and an extended bench? I don't think there is anyone in the organization that can do this or instructors that can teach it.
-
The kids can't bunt.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 02:32 PM) More insulting worthless LaRoche at first laughing it up with Dyson. What's he suppose to do? Punch him in the head?
-
QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) So insulting to hear Hawk talk about KC specials when a guy like dyson gets an infield hit They Royals remind me of the Twins at the start of the century. Get a lot of cheap hits. Petrified should not be used again until February. He's a mental midget. I'm surprised Robin didn't follow him up with Duke.
-
Listening to the Royal broadcast. They were discussing the Sox problems. No leadership in the clubhouse.
-
Yay he got out of this inning.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 01:34 PM) Remember back in 2005, we had a 12-16 record in August and in mid-September we had a 4-10 stretch? The Royals aren't playing their best right now but their best is as good as anyone when the find it. Don't judge teams by what they're doing at their best or at their worst. 2 weeks later it can look very different. teams slump

Mike Olt dfa'd by Cubs, claimed by White Sox

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Sep 5, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) s*** man. At times I'm ready to move Sale, Abreu and Q and stockpile prospects and try and get this thing going long term. It's painful to watch us ruin the primes of those three. Which is what it seems like we'll do for the next three seasons. Maybe this is just the booze talking at this point lol. I'm sick of s***ty baseball run by s***ty people. I'm not trusting this organization with prospects. They do fine with pitching. They could trade Sale and end up with another Borchard, Owens, Fields and Anderson. The Mount Rushmore of Suck. I'd trade those 3 for 90% of the Cardinals scouting and development and throw in Buddy Bell as a bonus.
-
Ventura brings out both mental midgets of the pen. I'd use Duke in March.
-
If I was a KC fan I would be ticked at giving up these homers to an anemic offense.

QUOTE (skooch @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) Here's a crazy thought, if you're the Blue Jays or the Yankees do you consider trying to add John Danks for a potential playoff match up against the Royals? I don't think he would be allowed in the post season.
-
Danks is better than Shark.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 01:31 AM) I remember going to games there and feeling sorry/pity for the Royals. I was at that game when Miguel Asencio threw 16 consecutive balls to walk in a run. Now we have to feel sorry for the White Sox organization. To those of us who have lived and died with this franchise for the last 30 years, this is all very confusing — almost as confusing as rooting for a team that’s resting its regulars for the playoffs with five weeks left in the season. That the Royals are the anything of baseball is disorienting enough. For a generation, the Royals were props, redshirts existing only as plot devices. That they are now central characters in baseball’s drama is heady enough; that they are regarded as villains is icing on the cake. Your favorite team can inspire worse emotions than hatred. Pity, for instance. The irony is probably the only contact for most of the US this year with the White Sox (other than Chris Sale K's) has been Eazy-E incorrectly wearing an early 90's White Sox cap 3-4 years before it was even introduced. In that sense, I guess it's not a surprise. Whether it's Shoeless Joe Jackson's denial or C caps with "Piglet" tails that get confused with the Cleveland Indians, it has been a LONG LONG three years in the wilderness, and the likelihood of beating KC, Minnesota or Cleveland before 2018 is about the same as Kim Jong Eun being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for using an anti-aircraft missile battery to execute one of his top military advisors. So like after 20+ years the Royals are playing winning baseball. I don't get the placing of that organization on a pedestal.

Saladino could take over ss until Anderson is ready

I wonder where Alexei ranks among games played over 5 years compared to other MLB players? -
QUOTE (South Sider @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 08:01 PM) IMO Cooper is wearing out his welcome here too. He couldn't find a middle ground to work with Samardzija on? Their relationship should never have been this bad, and as his boss, that falls on Cooper as much as it does Samardzija. Give Cooper a QO too, if you ask me... hehe Does Cooper really have any success with veteran pitchers who had some success? He has more value working with younger pitchers. I wonder why Rodon has little minor league experience. Do they trust Cooper that much more than their farm system?

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 10:20 AM) I strongly suggest reading Steve Rosenbloom's column on the Sox today in the Tribune. It is 100% right on the money. When the executive VP says publicly he can't figure out what's wrong with the team while the G.M. is saying publicly that everyone is open minded in what needs to be changed you've got a serious disconnect...to say nothing of the disconnect between the organization and the fan base. Really good reading. The reality of course is that as long as JR owns the franchise there will not be much substantial change certainly not bringing in skilled people from outside "the family." Which means more losing, more irrelevancy in their own market and more fan apathy. Also one of the other Sox writers for Chicago Now has an interesting column on why Kenny Williams needs to go at the Tribune web site. Mark Anyone got a link for this?

I don't think this organization can identify or develop can't miss prospects except for pitchers. I would crown the Royals or Cubs as model organizations. A whole lotta suck for two decades and a World Series loss isn't great. The Cubs got some great trades - OK. People act as if they are in the post season. I find the Cardinals organization fascinating. They let a Pujols go, have injuries and they still know how to win. A couple years ago, Rosenbloom commented on Garcia, wait til he stops being a Tiger and becomes a White Sox. On Smarj, "Want ace money. Act like one."

QUOTE (harkness @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 11:44 PM) Any message board... of any team... in any sport that has 4 bad seasons in a row like this... You will find complaining/despair. We can't really change it but we can celebrate success... and lament disappointment Welcome to the interwebs Go to any fan forum of a winning team and fans b**** because they are not good enough. You should have seen a Pats board early in the NFL season after a loss.
