What the f*** could possibly compel Robin to bat Avi 5th?!

Certainly seems like they are running out of time. I'm still hopeful they work something out with the Red Sox and sell off some BP arms.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) Have they shown Frazier at all in the dugout? If he's sick with the flu, you think they might actually send him home to prevent it from spreading?

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Kaplan brought up something on the radio this afternoon I laughed at, but I'm still thinking about it 2 hours later, which I'm not sure what that means.. Tom Ricketts calls up Reinsdorf and says "Listen, a World Series is vital to us this year, and we think Sale is the final piece. We just signed Theo to an 8 year deal, but we'll trade you the contract of Theo and his staff for Chris Sale." I honestly didn't know what to think. Kap is literally the walking definition of verbal diarrhea.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) @twinkietown The Twins are reporting on the scoreboard here that Carlos Beltran has been traded to the Indians... Interesting for the Indians if true I haven't seen anything else anywhere. That would be funny if that's how it broke. Way to go scoreboard guy, way to go.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) I'd rather see him start in the minors than have him in the bullpen in the majors at this point. Same. Doesn't make sense to call him up with the team in the position they are in. If they were in 1st place and needs bullpen help, MAYBE...

Here's hoping we see Sale go 8 IP 1 ER 8K's - shut those losers down.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) So is Chris Sale some kind of evil genius? It's like the Ozzie effect or something. Never would have guess they'd sweep the Cubs at home. I just hope it doesn't throw a wrench in the rebuilding plans that actually seem to be in play this year.

Rookie move by the rookie. Gotta keep Shields on a short leash here.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) Weird isn't it? I'm guessing he's hurt. Doesn't seem like a big piece unless it's somehow with Q for Mocada+ That's what I was thinking, he's a replacement or throw-in. But we're probably just overthinking it.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) Injury? Gameday didn't say. It was a defensive substitution and then they shuffled Peter and Muno around.

Posted this over in the Trade Winds forums as well, but Sanchez was pulled early in the bottom of the 3rd for Delmonico. Anyone got any ideas the reason behind that? Seems odd to pull him so early. #HugWatch?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) Robertson? He has two and half years of control right? Correct.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) The White Sox are caught in hell as they have what everyone wants, starting pitching. They have enough to win a world series. They just can't figure out how to get hitting and defense to help that out. Their bullpen is too mediocre to win anything. Even with Putnam and Petricka they imploded.

Well, here's hoping he at least can pull off a QS against the Cubs. That should let teams realize he still has something in the tank against their deadly lineup.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 03:09 PM) #Padres making progress on trade involving Andrew Cashner, sources say. He may be dealt before start tonight in Toronto. https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/758030626922659840 Will be interesting to see who gives up what for him. Hopefully not a team in the Sale/Q sweepstakes.

The more I think about this, the more I have to wonder... What the hell is Sale going to do when the Sox blow it up at the deadline and he isn't moved? Is he going to burn down U.S. Cellular because he won't be able to win on an even s***tier club?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) Robin to sit Saladino tomorrow. You can take that to the bank. Haha, you know it. Stupid is as stupid does.
