Sanchez You have improved a lot young man. But you can go F*** yourself with that last at bat. That was some little league BS at bat right there.

QUOTE (Saufley @ Aug 29, 2015 -> 07:39 PM) Get used to it because when Hawk leaves he's probably the replacement. He probably should learn that when you tag first force is off at 2nd.. .and stuff.

Chuck is a nice guy.. But all those people earlier this year praising his skill.. I'm not sure what you are smoking but its some good stuff.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 11:21 AM) I just don't understand this logic. Trayce is older than Avi and put up inferior numbers in the minors. Why do people all of the sudden think he's the answer? Because he's played good for the few games he's played? He put up low .700 OPSs in AAA. The odds of him just suddenly figuring it out at the ML level are not that high. I need to see at minimum another 200 PAs before I even consider beginning to make any sort of judgment on him. There is a lot of logic to this. I agree that its too early to know. BUT Avi Garcia in 3 seasons has never looked as good as Thompson has. The ability to take pitches. The ability to pull the ball with authority. All start with those... there are more.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) Boston lineup had a bunch of players that were not on the team in June. But they took 2 of 3. huh? Boston is 16-23 since the all star break... They have been bad all year...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) Avi showing why he's a gigantic bust tonight. Can't touch a fastball above the belt. When's the last time him or Abreu pulled a fastball to LF for a homer? Abreu is better when he drives the fastball to right. When he tries to pull the fastballs he hits a lot of grounders to short.

The thing is if this team could have made a little winning streak they could have had a chance. tonight is a reminder of how much of a failure the coaching staff is. A game they really needed against a bad team. And this is what they produce.

Avi's AB's are comical sometimes... He takes the first pitch.. like he is being patient. Then swings at every pitch after regardless.

eaton is good player... but he strikes out too much.

I've never seen a bigger bunch of F*** ups at getting the runners in from 3rd. It's mostly on the players... but the coaching staff is also utterly failing find the motivation or pressure removing. Big time failure all around in that category.

Samardzija and not even close. Cocky weasel looking loudmouth (and Notre Dame guy... and I hate Notre Dame) Owned the white sox a couple games so we get him and I'm thinking this guy could be good and bring some "tude." But has been a utter joke. #1 for me strongly at the moment.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 20, 2015 -> 12:17 AM) It's ok man... breath. This team blows and is going nowhere. I rather them just tank for a better draft pick at this point. Oh I believe they are going nowhere for sure.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 20, 2015 -> 12:14 AM) I had the Angels feed. They showed his foot hit the bag before LaRoche's. He was out. I'm sorry you don't like the results but it is what it is. I guess I'll take your word for it because no "feed" I saw was conclusive.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 20, 2015 -> 12:06 AM) LaRoche was f***ing out. Ventura should not go out there to argue a blatantly moot point. No off day tomorrow. One more with the Angels. I want the Sox to bleed out, they need talent. Tank the s*** out of this season now! You must have a different camera at home... none of the ones I saw could you tell if the guy's foot was hitting the base.

La Roche needs to retire tomorrow. Go the F*** away What a big ball of dung.

Robin just doesn't have a good feel when to take the pitcher out. He leaves them in too long so often. We didn't lose this game because of Robin... but man he is just not that good.

I think he could be our closer... his stuff is more closer-ish then Robertsons.

So far great... but yeah waaay too early.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) There has to be a little to pitchers being better with certain catchers, but it's hard to imagine it's 2-7 runs a game. Yeah there is something there... but how it could be quantified to make any decisions; hard to imagine. I would agree that Flowers (though these stats don't show this in every case) is a better manager of pitchers. How much or if it really is significant is another matter (though the coaches seem to believe it).

God no.

Hard to make any real conclusions from those stats... Looks like an exercise in randomness.

Let's hope they can salvage one... that game last night was straight brutal.

What's pretty clear from this thread.... The announcers that people like or don't like... it's all personal preference and style choice. It's always been this way... some people love the vanilla robots, some people love the clowns or the pricks.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 09:52 PM) To be fair to Shark the last two teams he faced were the best team in the AL and the hottest team in the NL. Not like he got rocked by Boston and Colorado. 15.43 Era in august... don't care if he is facing the 1927 Yankees.

at the time of the trade deadline he wasn't really doing that great and I'm guessing we weren't getting offered enough.
