I wonder if the Adam LaRoche benching continues tonight with Avi at DH and TT or JB in the outfield

It's too late now. Just let LaRoche keep playing. What will it hurt? See if he can either dip below .200 and maybe retire or actually get hot. He should be fined for not going to left field in crucial situations. His hitting philosophy is ridiculous. How the Sox scouts thought that guy could help the team is beyond me. Waste.Of.Money.

Well they probably based it on the fact that he was pretty damn good for the previous years. It just didn't work out, like Dunn.

Can somebody ask the Elias or the Sox beat writers to check and see if the Sox lose tonight if it's the most times in a season they've been swept in 4 game series? Also the last time ANY TEAM has been swept in as many 4 game series in one season? I would think if they lose tonight it'll be the most 4-game series sweeps in one season since the 60s. Maybe it'll be a record. It's hard to lose 4 in a row to one team. Another reason Robin "should" be fired but won't be.

They have been swept in one 4-game series this season. I doubt two is a record.

I'd be willing to bet you it's at least 45 years that the Sox have been swept two four game series in a season.

It happened three times in 2013, all courtesy of Cleveland. 6-28 thru 6-30 at home, 7-29 thru 8-1 away, 9-12 thru 9-15 home.

All that's left for me then is what other team has gotten swept in two 4 game series in the same year and when? I think if Sox lose tnight Robin should be fired. That would be an 0-8 record in a pair of 4 game series. You can't win divisions doing s*** like that. Team is too erratic.

Let's go for that top ten pick in the draft, still hope Q has a good outing

What good is a damn draft pick? It's not like the Sox are close to winning anything with draft picks.

Yep, the Astros/Royals/Cubs all suck after getting high picks for so many years.

 

As for me, I definitely think Danks will be better the next 3 years than Rodon will be.

 

PLEASE WIN MEANINGLESS GAMES WHITE SOX!

Well if the Sox get a top 10 pick and say sign Jason Heyward or Justin Upton, they would give up a 2nd round pick, instead of a 1st round pick.
