QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) Two superstars, a few above average players....and then a bunch of mediocrity. The good news it that the best players on the team are the core going forward, and the mediocre players probably won't be around next year. As long as Sale and Abreu continue to play well, and Eaton/Q/Danks perform decently, then it's not a lost season in my mind. The only question is how many seasons of those guys careers can you afford to waist? I'll give this team maybe another week before I join the dump players bandwagon.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 08:19 PM) It's not fun, but they're paying the price for horrendous player development, especially on the offensive end. This is a rebuild, and I bet they predicted a top 10 pick for next season coming into the year. I'm sure they did but its better if they dont get it.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 08:18 PM) Ya it sucks but this year was a wash anyways Showing progress is good. Finishing with another crappy record causes more damage.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) Right now, baseball prospectus has them projected as the 7th worst record in the majors after 162. Finishing with crappy records is so much fun. Why dont we bring it all down? Get this team moved out of Chicago.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 08:11 PM) Might as well have one more s***ty year and get a top pick. Christ he were go again

Well losing 2 of 5 starters at the start didnt help. Forget Paulino but Johnson struggling was really bad.

Go away Flowers

2 walks for Hawkins.

Man are we lucky to have Jose Abreu

Yeesh

So we get swept by KC but sweep the Giants....interesting

Tigers are no longer the division leaders

Tank!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) Nieto has the catching gear on and is getting loose. NO idea what is wrong with Flowers. He isnt accustomed to being on base. Probably pulled something.

Nice job Adam!

good lord that at bat was too close for comfort

Just throw him fastballs. His swing is so late.

and captain strike out at the plate

f*** you De Aza...what the hell was that?

That's alot of Cubans

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) That was a hanging offspeed pitch. You sure? Looked like a fastball at the last second when I switched back to the broadcast. Looked right down the middle of the plate.

That's how you hit a fastball Tyler

Yes Gordon!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 07:57 PM) BTW, the pitchers have more singles this month than Flowers does. Flower's probably has more strike outs than they do though
