chitownsportsfan Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 05:07 PM) Seems 90% of his big hits this year have been on offspeed pitches. The fastball in on his hands or just under them...those are the balls he hasn't been able to turn on. for sure he has a long swing at times. Gets himself in trouble. He's still young I'd be shocked if he never had at least one 120 wRC+ season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Wow. Shark is f***ing terrible. Good luck to which ever team pays him. Hahn and Kenny can't be watching him thinking let's pay this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DashFan Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Thank goodness Shark was greedy enough to turn down the Sox attempts at signing him long-term. That deal would already look bad. I'd rather have Danks' contract any day. Edited August 14, 2015 by DashFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Well, you could see that coming leaving the bases loaded last inning. The Sox are reaching the point that getting stuck with Samardzija next year is actually becoming a real possibility. Six homers for the Cubs in their last seven innings. Fowler with four xb hits alone in his last 4. Edited August 14, 2015 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 10:12 PM) Seriously this asshole comes out and says the team is just fine and we can compete for a Wild Card. Then pitches like garbage. As much as I like his offense, it's getting to the point where if Soto is catching, the pitcher is going to do bad.

whitesoxfan99 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 04:12 PM) Samardzija has been a complete bust. It's getting to the point that I don't think you can risk giving him a 15 million dollar option to re-establish his value. It would be insane not to make him the qualifying offer. Best case is he declines it and if he accepts it you are on the hook for only one more year. Would be remarkably stupid not to make him that offer.

Start us off right Melky. We get a couple guys on and Hendricks is really in trouble and in danger of being pulled in the game. Quick inning and suddenly he's in a groove that could carry him a couple innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
