What a weird off-season.

Like they made some really big moves but somehow still have huge gaps in their line-up and they brought Gordon Beckham back?

Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 7 April 2015 21:09 (nine years ago) link

mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 April 2015 21:43 (nine years ago) link

Yeah they've got some great players but the fact that they've still got dudes like Beckham, Gillaspie, Flowers, and Bonifacio playing regularly makes me nervous. And I am not very confident in Samardzija either.

worried about my man adam eaton

mookieproof, Tuesday, 12 May 2015 00:23 (nine years ago) link

Now on pace for five or six RBI this year?

Andy K, Tuesday, 12 May 2015 01:59 (nine years ago) link

And just like that Eaton comes alive.

Literally had this open about to complain about this team sucking when LaRoche hits a homer. Of course he does it off a reliever who's on my fantasy team.

fourth-inning double switch

Sale w/ 12+ K in 4 stright starts, first since Pedro in 2001

Matt Sussman, BP: It may be best for marketing purposes to advertise the rest of the season as "outdoor iceless hockey" and see how many Blackhawk fans they can lure into the ballpark.

Samardzija entered the eighth with 90 pitches and a four-run lead, left later that inning with 110 pitches and a tie. Great job, Robin Ventura.

Andy K, Sunday, 28 June 2015 20:21 (eight years ago) link

86, not 90.

Sale w/ 1st career hit off L Lynn

Eaton sees 13 pitches, productive groundout

Abreu bounces one up the middle off Kozma, 1-0

chris sale's walkup music is come sail away

i'm enjoying this game a lot, i've never really gotten much of a chance to watch sale pitch a full game

1992 ball boy (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 1 July 2015 01:29 (eight years ago) link

Sale and Pedro are now the only two guys ever to strike out 10+ in eight straight starts. (Really surprised Ryan never did it, Johnson and Koufax a little less so.)

he is a toughass mofo

i'd be the sox i'd look into a trade for Quintana as well.

9 IP, 0 earned runs, no walks and 8 K today.

Van Horn Street, Saturday, 25 July 2015 03:13 (eight years ago) link

only three games out of the wild card!

mookieproof, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 20:48 (eight years ago) link

I know, I was just looking at the standings and thinking they really aren't that far out of it, considering how shitty they've been playing.

Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 20:58 (eight years ago) link

the AL has been quite strange actually

Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 22:00 (eight years ago) link

Wonder if the hot streak means they'll hang on to Samardzija. If they win today (with Sale pitching) they'll be back up to .500.

Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 30 July 2015 15:25 (eight years ago) link

well, they're still playing the red sox, who plan to start steven goddamned right. sooooo they will win today, I'm guessing.

They've called up Trayce Thompson, who is Klay Thompson's brother.

Jeff Samardzija has joined Brett Tomko (2003) & Jaime Navarro (1997) as only pitchers in last 50 years to give up 9+ ER 3 times in one year
