Sale needs a quick inning here.

BIG STRIKEOUT THERE.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 03:41 PM) It's so nice being able to listen to the Cubs broadcast instead of Hawk. Intelligent and coherent baseball talk for once. You're not a true Sox fan if you don't like Hawk. Kasper is an idiot when it comes to knowing anything about baseball.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) As much as I hate bunting, Sanchez needs to be bunting every time in that situation. Now you give Lester the chance for the quick inning. Why would you bunt in front of the pitcher? That'd be silly even if the pitcher hitting was Carlos Zambrano.

That slider just wasn't fair.

I'm really happy for Saladino.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 11:44 AM) Time for Sale to show the other fans what a real ace looks like. Can't wait until Monday when cub fans begin talking even more about how they should trade for Sale or Q. Us Sox fans should have many laughs at the expense of typical dumb cub fans, as usual. GO WHITE SOX!!! We can't deny that Alcantara and Castro for Sale is an amazing offer.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) They'll each get three starts after the break in July, but they need to set the tone right after the break. Plus the long range schedule matches up well for Sale to get as many starts as possible. Sale's schedule: 7-17 vs KC 7-22 vs StL 7-27 at Bos 8-1 vs NY 8-7 at KC 8-12 vs LAA 8-18 at LAA 8-23 at Sea 8-28 vs Sea 9-3 at Min 9-8 vs Cle 9-13 vs Min 9-18 at Cle 9-23 at Det 9-29 vs KC 10-4 vs Det (last day of regular season if they need him) They should skip his starts against Minnesota so he can win the Cy Young haha.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) Bryant is going to run into one against Sale? No. Sale goes 7 shutout innings, then he is pinch hit for since he's over 100 pitches. Soler hits one in the eighth off of Duke.

Sale will have 12 strikeouts, and Lester will have 7. Sox win 3-1.

Sale needs to start as many times as possible if the Sox want to get back into the race.

Nice inning by Rodon there...keep it up.

That was so confusing.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) Carlos Sanchez and Kyle Hendricks get the first hits for each team Who woulda thunk it?

What a play. Wow.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) He was much more precise to the righties that inning than to the lefty. I noticed that as well. Rizzo is a good hitter though, so it's hard to judge Rodon just based on that 1 at-bat. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) Pitch count and repeating his motion will always be Carlos Rodon's problems. If he figures that out, look out Cy Young. I agree. I think he'll improve on both of those over time. He's still a rookie, even though it doesn't seem like it. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:21 PM) I fully expect he will figure that out eventually, and he and Sale, as long as they remain healthy, can battle each other for Cy Youngs. He's nasty as it is. When he figures out how to stay ahead of hitters, IMO he is going to be unreal. I really hope you're right. That would be so fun to watch on a yearly basis.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:18 PM) That didn't take long. 8 minute 1st inning. Rodon only threw 10 pitches too. If he can throw 12-14 pitches an inning consistently, he'll be really dangerous.

Nice pitch right there. Score some runs for him now.

He aced him right there. Nice.

Saladino reminds me of Brent Lillibridge for some reason.

QUOTE (JolietThunder @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) I don't want sox to get get rid of Beckham cause of his defense. RV should use him as defenisve replacement toward the end of the game. He shouldn't start more then 1 game a week. First time posting, been reading material here for past couple of years love the insight most SoxFan have. Been Sox Fan since '92. Welcome to the forum!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 02:38 PM) He was hitting the ball pretty damn well over the past 30 days. I have no problem with the move. I don't agree with putting him at third base though. Let Beckham play there since he's familiar with it and let Saladino play short.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 09:09 AM) I don't usually care for human interest stories in sports, but for some reason I root for Carroll and always root for him to keep that long reliever spot on the 25-man. Samesies.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) That leads to the conclusion you actually have to play him on a fairly regular basis otherwise he's almost guaranteed to be a complete waste? Exactly. Which in hindsight made the signing of Bonifacio a huge waste in the first place because he wouldn't have played everyday even if everything happened perfectly.

I feel bad for Hahn right now. He has to make so many tough moves. Even if he does one thing wrong, the entire fan base will crucify him for it. I'm glad I'm not a GM.
