  1. This is the second straight game the Sox have given us a free out with runners on 1st and 2nd. Why have a guy who is a poor bunter try to bunt? Smith got a single off Ervin earlier, just go up there and try to get another hit! I hope you're listening, Molly, 'cause I don't like stupid bunting.
  2. Hill's perfect game just got broken on an error... that has to be frustrating.
  3. Is this game going to last 2 hours? 'Cause I think we're on pace for something around that.
  4. Meanwhile Shields is starting this game off really well...
  5. Yes, I like this move! I've been waiting to see what this kid has to offer ever since he went on a tear in AA early this year. I wasn't expecting him to get the call up, so let's hope he can deliver!
  6. The White Sox have a reliever named Aaron Bummer warming up. This is your Bummer warning - lots of bad Bummer puns coming our way.
  7. I don't know what this 'team friendly extension' is about, but I think the Twins will have to bid with other teams if they want Dozier back in 2019 and on. He's probably going to command a 4 year $60M+ deal. I imagine they keep playing him through 2018 and decide by the end of the season whether they're willing to spend that kind of cash on him or go with somebody like Polanco/Gordon/etc. at 2B. I don't think he has enough trade value to ship him over the offseason. I'd rather try to win in 2018 with Dozier than get a mediocre prospect for him.
  8. He had thrownabout 40 pitches 4 days ago, so he was probably on a pitch count. He went about as long as I thought he would.
  9. Starting Gee was a very good idea [especially compared to Melville]... maybe he can stick around in that #5 starter position for a little while longer?
  10. According to Dick and Bert he was scratched from the lineup 15 minutes before game 2 started. Not sure why.
  11. Nice job Buxton!! Now if only Escobar wouldn't have tried to make that single a double, it'd be 9-0.
  12. I sure hope Slegers will be back. He's on track to start tomorrow in AAA (he would be pitching on short rest if he started today). Just swap Melville for Slegers and problem fixed.
  13. Busenitz has looked really sharp so far. The more he throws, the more he looks like a keeper.
  14. I was referring to the part where they stopped the game to flatten the mound at the request of the White Sox.
  15. We've had some odd delays this year, and here's another one.
  16. Sac flies aren't going to win this game.
  17. Going from a guy with 13.50 ERA to a guy with 15.30 ERA isn't super encouraging.
  18. Are we sure Gameday's "curveballs" aren't fastballs? They haven't recorded a single fastball from Melville.
  19. Colon is not looking good and is getting lucky with all these solo homers...
  20. They do not have any 40 man spots available. After Recker was outrighted, we had 38 spots. After Perkins and Slegers were added to the 40 man roster, it is full. Santiago to 60 day DL would make sense.
  21. Now it all makes sense... Chief is an elf because he can never die of old age!
  22. Can somebody explain to me how the D-Backs are paying Goldschimdt just $8.75M this year and $11M next season? Who signed off on that deal?
  23. Great game. It looked like another potential clunker down 3-0 in the 2nd, but everything turned around. Ervin did a great job to salvage the start and the offense just kept chugging along. I think Buxton is legitimately breaking out now. Our patience is finally going to be rewarded. Polanco has regained his mojo too, and Rosario continues to hit out of his mind. Good stuff!
  24. Same on the Twins cast, they have him at 96.
