Is this a new section? I've never noticed it before.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 11:07 AM) as much as i like the idea, the sox are still on line for 2 lousy contracts. Danks and Adam L. some 30+ millions dollars. for to start the new season. Both of them are out the door after the 2016 season. The Sox just have to pay them for the rest of this year and next year and then they'll have a lot more financial flexibility after that.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 04:55 PM) I wouldn't move Abreu. I would in the right deal.

TRADE EVERYONE

Game over. Sale hasn't even pitched that bad, but this is the worst offense team I've ever seen.

This team sucks.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:13 AM) Sox had been playing well before the break, winning series after series. As expected, they are back to their Sox ways post AS break. I predict the inevitable 3 of 4 losses to KC. Today's game 5-1 Royals. Sale won't give up 5 runs... But it wouldn't surprise me if he went 8 shutout innings and then the bullpen gave up 5 in the 9th, haha.

I would've much rather seen Bonifacio go than him.

I figured I'd try my luck at making another game thread. Go Sox! Go Sale! It'd be disappointing if the Sox couldn't win this game with Sale on the bump.

That is surprising.

This team doesn't deserve to win anything.

Soto is so much better than Flowers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:42 PM) Quick poll: Will Avi be thrown out somewhere on the basepaths? Yes.

I'd do Q for Puig straight up. Then Puig can take over right field full time and Avi can be a DH.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 12:17 PM) Yes they were. Myself included. If he could hit .220 in the majors, he'd have a long career. That's how good his defense is. You could say the same thing about Carlos Sanchez. Unfortunately some guys just can't hit at the MLB level.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 11:46 AM) I just did a tally 4 starts - danks 1 start - Q (the awful,horrible postponed in the 7th KC royals tie game in 35 degrees and pouring rain) 2 starts - Noesi 1 start - Rodon No games from our #1/#2 pitchers The only Sox game I've been to this year was Sale's season debut. I guess I got lucky.

Shark, Putnam, and Duke to the Yankees for Betances and Gary Sanchez.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) Mike Musary ‏@Muzzkill7 10m10 minutes ago @CSNHayes According to Baseball Prospectus, Chris Sale leads all of MLB in Pitcher Abuse Points, so an extended break is not a bad thing. What does that even mean? Is that some sort of advanced metric?

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:11 AM) oh man, that mean this makes the other debate moot. or is it mute??? ummm I have no idea what you're trying to say.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:06 AM) He'll start Sunday. I think they wanted to keep it open just in case he got in the game Tuesday and wanted to have an option. Personally, I would have had him starting in 3 hours, but that's just me. Is this confirmed or just speculation?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:30 AM) Doubt that is true. Doesn't DRob have 3 years left on his deal after this year and $30+ million owed to him? I just don't see a team taking on his full contract unless they're REALLY desperate for relievers.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 07:14 AM) Another theory. They're trying out Montas on MLB pitching to see how he holds his own. If he does well, they'll try him out in the closer role and move Robertson to a contender before the deadline. No one will take on Robertson's contract unless the Sox pick up most up the money. That's not worth it. The Sox should keep him for now.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:10 AM) Hahn said this morning on the radio that Sale will likely start on Sunday. He said he feels great and is ready to go. So TIFWIW That's a good sign. However, Sale seems like the type that wants the ball every time out even when he isn't fully healthy, so hopefully he isn't pitching hurt.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 16, 2015 -> 04:47 PM) Wish we had a history with Eric Byrnes. He's absolutely ridiculous but I love every second of it. Also...I Imagine Hawk and Byrnes as a tandem....wow lol.
