elrockinMT Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I am a bit concerned here in the bottom of the first. Verlander dominating with four K's in two innings and Sale appears off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Two double plays helped Sale. Verlander now with six strikeouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksnort Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'd take Saladino over Lawrie any day. Next year I would have Lawrie on the bench and Saladino the starting 2b...that's not gonna happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 12:52 PM) Or trade Lawrie. His ability to play third and second along with Saladino's flexibility you keep both. The White Sox don't have any depth to replace guys as we have seen this year and previous with crappy bench players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true...Saladino has been about the only good depth piece that has served the Sox well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Sale Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Wow, back-to-back HR's. Guess Abreu hitting is contagious. Great to see Abreu finally hitting now, esp. in a situation like this (against division rivals who know his weaknesses, good pitcher on the mound who is dominating the Sox, tie game). Would have liked it earlier, of course, but maybe getting this season back on track will allow him to get next year back on track as well. Maybe it's his son?

Dunt Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think in Saladino, Tilson, and Narvaez, you've established that you have some decent backups for next year (well not so much Tilson, but he sounds like his skill set will play nicely as 4th OF). What you really need is a DH, CF, and C. I would personally go in pretty big on the first 2 and then bring back Avila at C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) How has Sale looked today? He's given up a few hits, has had a few double plays turned behind him. Not cy-young caliber, but not bad either. Pretty good so far, no runs given up, that is, until the bullpen comes in to "relieve" him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he has looked real sharp but everytime the Tigers get threat going he gets a GIDP.
