Sale gets out of it.. but as per usual he tends to get hurt on his fastball.

anyone know where you can find the stats for players getting the runner in from 3rd and less then 2 outs? They have graphics in the game but I can't find it anywhere.

As soon as I give Abreu Props he fails at getting the runner in from 3rd like 5 straight times.

I haven't seen enough of Saladino to make any final judgements on him... not even close.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 06:33 PM) I fill out surveys for the Sox year after year. They still haven't picked up Mike Trout like I have asked. lol

filled out the survey...

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 09:57 AM) If nothing else, it made baseball fun to watch again for about 10 days. So true.... but HEY IF WE SWEEP THE ANGELS! yeah not happening.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 11:08 AM) The Sox should've claimed him...SMH. This team is still in contention, why not go for it? Not sure if serious...

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 04:24 PM) Cle (30-39)- 11-7, 2-17, 9-10, 8-5 Det (27-41)- 6-12, 7-12, 9-10, 5-7 KC (24-45)- 6-12, 9-10, 6-13, 3-10 Min (35-34)- 14-4, 8-11, 9-10, 4-9 116-159 (.422) That's like a 68-94 team against your own division. Over 275 games. Everything is ok though. My God that is bad.

Robin Ventura's record vs the AL Central has to be so bad.

I was kind of down on him earlier...and he still gives away too many at bats.. is scary to think how good he could be if he gets more patient. .296 12th in the AL 21 HR ties for 13 in the AL 67 RBI 9th in the AL Probably 70% of the reason I watch the Sox right now is because of him.

I think South was agreeing with you for the most part... Robin used to argue a little bit but anymore he just bends over. I'd love Robin to coach my 5 year old kid but not the White Sox.

My only thought is that Robin thinks being nice to the umpires means they will give you more calls... I've watched enough Tom Izzo to know that it doesn't work that way.

told my buddy about Laz Diaz and he went off on how bad he is.. and my buddy is a giants fan. This guy sucks a lot.

I seriously grab Abreu and say come with me this guy owes you an apology... don't say anything just come with me. I would have then demanded he apologize only with a lot of swear words... the umpire would prob just walk away but I would berate him.. Just to show my guy I'm going to stand up for him.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 8, 2015 -> 09:03 PM) I'd have to agree since my previous post I sounded like a pissed offed manager going after the ump. It wouldn't change the outcome... but it's one of the many things that drives me crazy about Robin and the rest of them. They just bend over and take it..

Jose finally plays it smart and lays off a bad pitch and the umpire rings him up. Jose needs to say something.. SOMEONE needs to say something. Will it change the outcome? no but that I what we do.. we just shrug and walk away. That's our energy.

I just don't get it.. If I'm Robin or Cooper or anyone I'm out there throwing down on that. No way do I just walk out the ball park on that S**** No way. That umpire is a joke.

No coach could ever keep their job in any sport as bad as this team is playing right now and after 3 losing seasons. I don't blame it all on Robin.. but the experiment is over. Need a fresh start... this is painful and we can't do this again next year.

Shark is all bark and no bite. I thought he was some kind of tough guy with iron grit. But he sure likes to trickle games down his leg. Fraud it appears. I'm going to guess the white sox were shopping him and didn't get any good offers because teams are seeing how bad he is SEVENTEEN HOMERUNS he has given up on the season.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 10:15 PM) Game was lost in the 8th. Saladino missed 2 hangers one he didn't swimg at, Abreu didn't swing at one and struck out on a pitch a foot outside. I swear this team leads the universe in not swinging at hanging breaking balls.

QUOTE (L. Ron Paultard @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 10:00 PM) haha, "Bad Body Language" has been practically the White Sox motto since the Franco-Prussian War. to those who follow this sorry team, just based on numbers and optics, how on earth has Todd Steverson and Robin not get fired like in May or early June. Talk about textbook definition of "unprepared + deer in headlights" collective look Mercy! This is the truth... I've never seen a team that played so scared and without confidence. Robin is a laid back dude... but his teams do NOT play laid back. It's a joke.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 09:50 PM) Second and third nobody out and that happens? LOL. Saladino - overmatched, whiff. Abreu - clueless on the strikeout pitch way outside of the zone; waved at it like a complete stiff. Melky - nice little drive to right; Royals have Sox scouted perfectly; Rios makes it look harder than it was. LOL. Failure. Bad teams don't score in that situation; we have a bad team! Abreu REALLY has to fix some of his horrible at bats. They guy gives away 30% of his at bats and still almost hits .300. It's ridiculous

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 09:50 PM) At least Trayce is 2-2. I have higher hopes for him than I do Saladino. ehhh... Trayce looks pretty stiff up there. Can't say I agree with that.
