  1. QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 06:36 PM) I just saw them bait him into that bases loaded K last night. I knew what was coming but he didn't seem to realize what they were going to do to him. He is prone to the outside and down curve and does seem to K quite a bit. I am thinking this is more his unfamiliarity with the majors and he will improve. I would like to see his average up a bit
  2. QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 03:19 PM) No love for Danks in here??? That was his 10th quality game in 12 starts. His ERA in those 10 starts is 2.86. Might not get the attention because his ERA overall is above 4, thanks in part to the 2 non quality starts where he gave up 15 runs, but IMO he's right up there with Q as our 2nd best pitcher. They both have 10 quality starts, only 12 other pitchers have more. I think Danksy is getting stronger and recovering from surgery nicely. He is doing a real good job and his efforts are paying off
  3. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 05:08 AM) And only a game out of last place. AL Central is a major suck fest again Suckfest or competitive balance? Look at all the races and in most the teams are close to each other in the standings. I think major league baseball expansion is possible and would enable us to get rid of the ridiculous interleague scheduling. Maybe we will see that decision made in 3-5 years?
  4. QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 01:44 AM) To me, Toronto is the obvious choice for Beckham if they trade him. Can we please not ruin a great night of Sox baseball with this trade Beckham and trade Ramirez and 3/4 of the team stuff We are in this to win.
  5. QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 06:41 PM) I just wonder what Rodon gains by waiting to sign? He signs now and there is a very good chance he gets a September call-up. He waits a month to sign and he delays free agency by a lot more than a month. How much over slot does he have to get to make it worth it? I think all he gains by not signing is a 4 yr college degree to use when his arm falls off. So I think you are on the right track, but a Sept call up might be a little premature.
  6. QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:54 AM) And todays 110 wasn't stressful whatsoever. Meh, he still pitched well enough to where he should have been out of that inning after 1 run. That ground ball to Lexi had double play written all over it and I still think Kendrick swung at that 3rd strike. Ramirez not getting the ball out of the glove for an error on a potential DP and the blown call by the ump were huge./ I also was quite stressed over the dismal 4 strike out performance by Abreu.
  7. I watched that game on MLBN last night. The bottom of the eighth inning was a nightmare. You can easily second guess any managerial decision that leads to such an horrendous outcome but it is really one with no easy answer. Sale was out there for the 8th. No problem, but when he gave up a couple hits I think a fresh arm from the pen would make sense. By the time the bases were loaded and Trout up it was like OK it is our best against their best. But, my feeling is at that point Sale was not at his best. He had thrown like 100 pitches and tiring while Trout was strong. It was not a good decision to leave him in the game, but it is what it is and we lost and it's over. Sunday is a new game and it would be great to win one before heading to Chicago
  8. I fail to see the infield "glut" that was referred to
  9. It's on WGN tonight. Let's ply better D and win one for me as I have no luck on TV
