The vibe I got was Ricky was bitching about the pitch before Sanchez singled. And the ump literally bitched back at him as the hit was going up the middle.

Hopefully someone that can actually hit is replacing him.

As long as they get MLB ready players in return, I'm fine with them moving guys. Don't just dump guys for salary relief, and don't get prospects.

Like tommy said, they spend some- not even crazy- money on pitching, this team can contend for the division in 2020.

Operating with an absolute bottom of the scrap heap starting rotation, and they are missing two key offensive players. They are a thin team that had little room for error. And they lost Kopech and Dunning before the year. Rodon during the season, and their veteran signing was a total bust.

How about Colome to the Dodgers for Gavin Lux? Look like we are playing for a top 5 pick now.

Yeah I agree. Gerrit Cole needs to be target #1 in the offseason. But the real question in all of this is Jerry going to give the money/contract to pitchers that will be needed.

I know a closer on a bad team is a luxury, but I would ask the world for Colome. He is still under contract thru next season. If you get that haul for him, great. If not you have a pretty damn good closer to build your 2020 pen around.

No.

Jerry doesn't pay pitchers.

Frank's right. Castillo will be called back up.

This stretch fresh off the All Star break has been miserable.

Then this rebuild is going no where.

That's pretty much what everyone is worried about. Too bad, too, because we have some decent arms in the pen.

Reinsdorf won't pay for starting pitchers or proven managers.

Actually, Castillo was activated when Collins was sent back down...

_________________

Agreed. You get rid of Colome, you've created a brand new problem. One that is painful in terms of losses to learn and then expensive to solve.

_________________

Will they make Robert sign some long team friendly deal like Eloy before they bring him up?

_________________

Make him? I'm sure JERRY? held a gun to Eloy's head to sign a $40 million deal before he even played in an MLB game...

_________________

That is a good synopsis. Its been fun to watch the young guys that were brought up and all that and the nice stories about them. Personally I can't wait until they bring up some of the others in their system.

But any talk about contending has got to wait until they decide to spend some serious money. And that depends on the worst bleeping owner in sports, Jerry Reinsdorf.

Mercedes should have been brought up. Castillo is GARBAGE. He wasn't even hitting in the minors.

Keep it up, Reynaldo. Two more innings por favor.

First Step, break this losing streak. Second Step, get to 500. Third step, play in wildcard game..

Tonight is the start.

Let's hope so.

6 doubles and one triple so far.

Haven''t even thought about Engel in a month.

Sanchez keeps hitting balls out to Pham which confuse him.

somethin' else, this game.

You lose 7 in a row to bad teams, now u go into Tampa as a huge underdog and u deliver a big-ass blowout.

Nice catch there by Leury!

Horrible call by Farmio, but I'll take it

Thank you Rays for bunting. Appreciated.

Nice turn on the DP. Going to extra innings.

Great baserunning by Moncada. 2-1 White Sox

Yoan!!! Nice hit, Jose.....

Combination of great speed, baserunning, and the shift.
