  1. QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 10:57 PM) crap. mixed up the merge. Sorry elrockin It's all good if we win
  2. Ruin the space cadets night with a Sox win
  3. QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2017 -> 08:08 PM) Beck is awful gave up another homer. Tigers are up 9-0. This is uglyvl in morecl ways than one. We are getting no hit through six by a guy with an ERA that was close to 6.00
  4. Covey gave up five runs in three innings. Beck comes in and they score two more and get that homer that Beck seems to give up every time he comes into a game 7-0 Tigers in the 5th and we don't even have a hit yet
  5. Wild and inexperienced and we are already down 4-0. It's what you get with a Rule V draft player from AA ball. Hopefully he develops in AAA next year
  6. 13 pages on Engel. That's interesting. Last night Renteria praised him but said he was a work in progress
  7. It would be nice if Covey gets that win. Walking too many hitters and the long ball has been his downfall
  8. QUOTE (Real @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 11:41 PM) what kind of glove is Moncada wearing on his left hand? is that due to his collision? I doubt it since his injury was a bruised knee
  9. Kid Lopez is going to have to learn to keep his concentration and intensity when he gets a big lead
  10. QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 04:31 PM) I kinda want to know something actually changed. His delivery kinda looks like his old one though. Do you think though that the crazy delivery helps him succeed?
  11. We need a bullpen next year. So frustrating to what these guys give up homers
  12. QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 09:59 PM) Dude for the millionth time, what is the point in potentially crippling the rebuild before it gets off the ground extending a guy who looked like a DFA candidate before this year when its not motivated by existing payroll constraints? This is not 2014 where we had a full roster in place with very little budget to work with. We don't need to make risky hail mary signings like this anymore. Let him prove himself over more seasons and if he deserves it he will get paid. The end. What are you talking about and who are you talking about? DFA candidate?
  13. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 06:33 PM) Trading him is only plausible if another team cooperates and pays up to get him. It doesn't do any good to trade him for someone who it would take a miracle for them to outperform him. There is no need for a salary dump. To me, Hahn would like to sell him high if he could. But kudos to Avi for having a great year. Whether it's "sustainable" is for everyone to argue, but he already has sustained it a lot longer than anyone would have thought. He's still learning. We will see what happens, but in baseball, sometimes things change. Todd Frazier is a walk machine now. Who would have thought that? I have to wonder about the mindset of some fands who continually call for the trading of our performer and then complain about young players who struggle. Avi Garcia is the prime example. He is young and always had talent. It took him awhile to put it together. He has this year and has not only sustained it but gotten better. Of course anyone and everyone is available at the right price but you need to build a winning team around a core group of veterans. Jose Abreu and Avi Garcia fit that category. Tim Anderson will be entering year three in the bigs. You don't trade unless it makes the team better than it was before the trade. Plus money should not be the Sox issue at this time. Plus I wouldn't mind the Sox looking at Todd Frazier gain in the off season. Davidson can play 3B-1B and DH and so can Todd. Plus the numbers are similar. We have no one in the minors quite ready for the jump yet.
