QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 05:14 PM) Buddy Bell just said Micah Johnson will be sent to Birmingham for their playoffs. Wow. Good for.Micah

Excited to see how Johnson, Danish and Montas do tonight.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 12:31 PM) Brad Goldberg to W-S. http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=2...sp&sid=t487 He certainly deserves the promotion

With the recent great outings Lindstrom has been having, I would imagine someone wants him to solidify their bullpen. With him clearing waivers, he can be traded to anyone.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 05:14 PM) It's the 16 BBs that's the issue for me. On a team with a strong lineup 1-7, then Ramirez's skillset works well batting 9th. The problem is we have too many low OBP hitters as it is. At some point, we have to remove some of these guys from the equation and Alexei is one of the more expensive variables. I still like Alexei, I think he has value, but his bat doesn't work well on our team IMO. LOL seriously? He's been the most consistent hitter all year on this team.

May starts off game 2 with a single and steals 2nd and 3rd. Barnum also with a double.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 04:29 PM) I see your point but my argument would be with the chance to compete next year. Why not keep our established closer, who is young, controllable for 3 more years after this and go from there. It all starts with pitching, if anyone is getting traded its Danks, Quintana or Santiago. Because of the emergence of Johnson and Rienzo

QUOTE (beautox @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) I'm simply saying that yes he is talented and young but he is a luxury on this team, especially because he could go to a team looking to contend for a world series title and bring the sox back a nice haul similar to what Boston gave up in acquiring Bailey(Reddick) and Melancon(Lowrie). I see your point but my argument would be with the chance to compete next year. Why not keep our established closer, who is young, controllable for 3 more years after this and go from there.

QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 04:14 PM) I know I'm suppose to be rooting for the draft pick, but I kind of like seeing my team win. I love when the Sox still win. Shows improvement, confidence in the young guys, and hope for next year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 04:10 PM) The Sox have a chance to compete next year, so they should get rid of their closer because only teams with a shot to compete need a closer? People wanting Reed out as closer just don't have a case. Jones is best for a set up role. And Webb needs to prove something in the show first before being named closer.

QUOTE (beautox @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 04:07 PM) I don't think he sucks, I just think he isn't a valued asset on a "retooling" team and that his high leverage innings could be replaced by the likes of Jones or Webb. The sox have an outside chance to compete next year, its foolish to keep an above average "closer" on a team that isn't expected to contend. How not? He's 24 years old, has been the closer for 2 years and with good and bad teams. People that think he's not a good closer don't have a case of replacing him. He has now saved 31 of 36 games. And 2 of those blown saves the defense was to blame.

Reed has a 3.36 era. His era would be in the high 1s if it weren't for the Mariners 5 run outing

May with a 2 run triple in the top of the 9th

Solid 2 innings of work from Lindstrom.

Great inning by Lindstrom.

Why is Petricka not in there? Ugh. Keppinger with an error.

Another quality start from a Sox starting pitcher.

Santiago pitches out of bases loaded jam. Kid has cahonas

Another great at bat by Garcia.

Braulio Ortiz struggling in High A so far this year. Micah Johnson is 0-3 and Hawkins is 0-2

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 02:24 PM) Santiago for Morrison is fair. Johnson for Morrison is stupid. Completely disagree.

Anybody else think that was an extremely lazy play by Willingham? I thought he could of held Phegley to a.single.

Lol wow. That was an athletic play by Santiago. Good throw by Phegley.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 02:06 PM) All right handed...Throw in McCann and Dunn to split up the RHers...Jeebus. That would be scary with everything clicking.

All I have to say is wow. If Tank figures it out next year. Him and Garcia might have the liveliest bats in the AL. The ball just flys off their bats. This is why I am excited for next year to go along with this pitching staff.
