So we get swept by KC but sweep the Giants....interesting

Tigers are no longer the division leaders

Tank!

http://blog.thenewstribune.com/mariners/20...g-with-jackson/ Looks like the Mariners made some progress with Jackson. They are using the same strategy we are.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) Nieto has the catching gear on and is getting loose. NO idea what is wrong with Flowers. He isnt accustomed to being on base. Probably pulled something.

Nice job Adam!

good lord that at bat was too close for comfort

Just throw him fastballs. His swing is so late.

and captain strike out at the plate

f*** you De Aza...what the hell was that?

That's alot of Cubans

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) That was a hanging offspeed pitch. You sure? Looked like a fastball at the last second when I switched back to the broadcast. Looked right down the middle of the plate.

That's how you hit a fastball Tyler

Yes Gordon!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 07:57 PM) BTW, the pitchers have more singles this month than Flowers does. Flower's probably has more strike outs than they do though

Tigers are 9-19 since May 18th. Twins just had 17 scoreless innings....everyone except for KC seems to be slumping

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 07:39 PM) The WSox need to start getting more power from everyone besides the 1B/DH combo. 8 games and counting since someone besides Dunn/PK/Abreu has homered The black holes at the bottom of our lineup need to start hitting

Danks showing some life

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) Abreu did not hit that ball very well at all and still made it to the track. Yeah I thought it was a for sure pop up. Then it kept drifting...

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 06:34 PM) Can't start Nieto two games in a row because actually putting the ball in play some how and getting on base a couple times a game is frowned upon in this line up.. Striking out is the only way to go.. We went through this last year too...they arent going to make a change unless Flower's shows zero signs of life in quite a few games.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2014 -> 01:41 PM) We told him to use something besides "password" for his password. Or 12345...that's the same combination on my luggage

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 04:22 PM) I don't get it. Am I supposed to keep waiting for 10-game winning streak? Ain't happening, and I've been pretty optimistic all season. Now it's time to get Rodon signed, get some international players in the fold, and make some trades to get better for the future. No one said anything about a 10 game winning streak. But its not surprising to see you get excited about losing. Good news is you arent the only one.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 04:17 PM) I think for the first time today, I'm looking forward to the trade deadline and what they can hopefully get done. Now there's a surprise

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 08:59 PM) Matters what they think of Semien at SS, but if this team falls back by the deadline, he is far and away their best trade chip. If you can get someone like Glasnow and more, you have to consider it. Only problem with that is it may push your clock back. Glasnow is in high A right now.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 08:58 PM) I'm telling you that Flowers has been better than the player you wanted to sign for a bunch of money. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/saltaja01.shtml 2013 was Saltalamacchia's highest WAR season at 2.9. I just don't see the value in essentially buying high here. I also think it's silly to assume that in 3 years this team will have developed a catcher, because I don't see it in this org as we speak. So why pay for a guy on the wrong side of 30 when it's not guaranteed his replacement is there in 3 years as you argue. Take the savings you're getting (from a guy playing better according to WAR) and use those dollars elsewhere? When did I guarantee a replacement? Boy you like putting words in my mouth dont you? I said its time to find one. That's the one thing your getting is time. Right now you have no replacement and no time. Flower's is on a 1 year contract and you have absolutely no depth. The free agent market looks horrible for this position. Now what?
