RIP, that umpire is getting helped off the field by the Blue Jays trainer.

That foul ball was dead center to his mask.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

missed the game. How did Urias look?

Not sure why they didn't pull the old number 34 out of "unofficial" retirement for him. Would be a license to print money.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

According to Adam Rubin, the Mets will pick up James Loney. I guess the Mets will pay the league minimum and this will also mean no mas Eric Campbell..thank god.

Loney is a major upgrade over Campbell in every aspect of the game.

 

[yankeehater]

Well this game is already fucking terrible.

I bet Campbell stays and Reynolds is demoted.

 

[AgentChris]

Call up Flores [backup 3B/1B], DFA Campbell and send down Reynolds.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Zobrist is a monster.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Man I was so worried Zobrist was going to be the type of FA signing where the guy gets paid and does jack shit but he has put those fears to bed over and over again

He's been a very consistent player but with the added protection of the Cubs lineup he's an absolute beast.

 

[Choomp]

Hearing Mets got James Loney. Could be a decent short term pickup, maybe he'll stick around too.

 

[zulux21]

good start, now add another 10 or so and maybe I will think the white sox can win this game.

 

[Doogdogg]

This is some horseshit umpiring.

 

[The Elite]

Stroman can't buy an out right now. Defence still looks sloppy as well.

 

[zulux21]

bleh jackson screwed up bad there. he didn't have to sprint back towards first and since he did and the guy dropped it he was dead trying to go to second.

 

[GK86]

Call up Flores [backup 3B/1B], DFA Campbell and send down Reynolds.

It should be that, but Campbell has something on Terry, so they will send down Kelly and Reynolds.

 

[Frozenprince]

I never thought they'd spend the money.

Can't wait to see Soup still get more playing time.

 

[Gouty]

Bu bu bu but hes good defensively!

Bring Merrifield back to the infield, put Dyson in left and fire Infante from a fucking canon.

 

[zulux21]

why wouldn't you walk hosmer :/

edit: they actually got him out... 1 out of 4 isn't so bad...
still.. why wouldn't you walk him with runners on second and third and 1 out

I knew Urias was going to be pulled up sometime soon, but I'm a little surprised they'd have him start on the road on a big stage like in New York. Figured they'd try to put him up against a weaker team than the Mets and in the comfy confines of Dodger stadium. But I guess trial by fire works too ;-) Either way, experience gained for Urias, and the Dodgers almost stole that game, except Baez happened :-p

 

[Chase17]

Falling apart here

Edit: oh, didn't see the news that clay is getting sent to the pen until now

Edit 2: and we've blown the lead

 

[zulux21]

so at this point I say there is a 5% chance the white sox win this.

the bullpen just needs to give up less than 6 runs in 4 innings >.<;

 

[CygnusXS]

Replay is trash. All the extra minutes and none of the correct calls.

 

[Dominican Power]

It kills the flow of the game.

 

[Malo]

Red Sox bullpen is imploding.

 

[JDHarbs]

wow. great throw by Cain

 

[CygnusXS]

It kills the flow of the game.

If they were getting calls right, I wouldn't care about pacing. But, here we are.

 

[zulux21]

that was an amazing play on a ball that should have been a routine fly ball.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Floyd will give you 1 HR Boston, promise

 

[jbug617]

Papi

 

[Chase17]

Floyd will give you 1 HR Boston, promise

Good call.

 

[Sanjuro]

Goddam

 

[bonesmccoy]

Floyd will give you 1 HR Boston, promise

Told ya

Edit: Josh Howsam just tweeted out why I said that.

Man it'd nice to have a not shit bullpen.

 

[jbug617]

Padres and White Sox discussing a James Shields trade.

Padres and White Sox discussing a James Shields trade.

don't know how I feel about that.

that is a lot of money for a 4th/5th starter.

I suppose as long as it's just money and not anything major from the farm it would be fine and could replace latos. though I suppose they would likely replace Miguel González instead.

edit: I guess the last year is actually merely a 2 mil opt out for the team so that isn't so bad. I figure Erik Johnson would be the starting point there as if he could translate his minors success to the majors he would be a great addition to a rotation.

edit2: I suppose at the very least he is a decent right hander, and given the white sox have 2.5 quality left handers (rodon is the half, he hasn't earned the right to be called quality yet) it would be good to have a stable right hander in the rotation as well. would pair nicely with carson fulmer if fulmer can get straightened out.

 

[Dominican Power]

Fucking Michael Piñata

 

[BigAT]

Pineda is such garbage.

 

[jbug617]

don't know how I feel about that.

Keith Law mentioned Tim Anderson as a possibility

 

[Malo]

DFA Piñeda.

 

[zulux21]

Keith Law mentioned Tim Anderson as a possibility

then screw that trade so hard.

no way in hell I would be happy with anderson or fulmer being traded for shields. Most other players would be fine, but not one of those two.

I'm still hoping the white sox call up anderson soon to bring some life into the short stop position as old man rollins looks like he needs a long nap. Anderson still needs to work on his defense a bit and learn how to take more walks, but he is still hitting over .300 and is dangerous on the basepath.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Game was interesting at least

Edit: holy shit. Martin didn't strike out. Travis didn't whiff. And whomever that 1b for Boston really has to make that catch.

 

[Chase17]

Burn it all down

I think it's time for Robbie Ross Jr.

Edit: that's a pretty bad loss

 

[Horsemama1956]

Holy shit Travis already making a huge difference.

 

[PROh1bited]

Lol Hanley.

 

[Parch]

Wow. Back and forth but the Jays steal that one. Didn't expect them to get to Kimbrel and didn't expect Martin to be clutch. Big win.

 

[zulux21]

shit.. this doesn't look good.
im sorry KC fans.

he looks like he is in a ton of pain.

hopefully it is nothing major.

at least he is walking off with help, but yeah, hopefully it's just a bruise and he will just be out a few days. he is one of the best catchers in the game and is fun to watch to play.
