Well I'm looking forward to watching Danks pitch on Friday

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2013 -> 10:12 PM) I disagree. Two thoughts on why: - they thought enough of Flowers' potential to give him a chance at being a full-time starter, so they think it's too early to give up on him in a year where they might be looking to unload at the deadline - if they make the move now, they open themselves up for criticism about letting AJ go Honestly I dont think they are ready to pull the plug on it yet and admit it was a mistake.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ May 22, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) I admittedly find it incredible that the Sox continue to trot out one of the worst catchers in all of baseball when the catcher in AAA has an OPS of like 1.050. I'd understand if the rest of the offense was setting the world on fire... Only a matter of time.

Nate Jones is just freakin bad and thats all I have to say about that.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2013 -> 09:54 PM) Oh trust me, I think he's awful. At best, he's a 2nd string catcher if the starting catcher can pound righties. He'd be a great complimentary player to someone like John Jaso. I know...Im just saying giving him an entire year to take a dump isnt going to help him or the ball club. I think its a matter of weeks before we have a new starting catcher.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2013 -> 09:50 PM) It should be all year, as you don't go into this season with this stupid plan they had if you're not willing to live with his struggles. You think he is going to magically fix his problems that he has had his entire career? I think at some point you have to realize that this is just futile and go in another direction.

Not so good pitching today

Alright I guess I better go buy lottery tickets. I could use a little spare change.

hahaha

This team is playing so much better....and screw you Joe Blanton

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) three Yeah your right

Two garbage bench players hitting back to back....that's a bold strategy cotton let's see if it pays off for him

Or pop up again...

Do something good Wise

Nice hit Gimenez

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) I walked away, what happened Tried to turn a DP...Hector didnt have his foot on the bag

Hector's been bad this inning. Lost complete control.

Apparently he can...bad play by Hector.

Wasnt close with any of those pitches

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2013 -> 03:39 PM) I'd be very surprised if Phegley's not up in the next few weeks if all the trends continue. Same....he's hitting really well in Charlotte

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) Gimenez for sure I understand. Its unfortunate that we have two turds at catcher

Yeah Wise isnt very good

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ May 17, 2013 -> 11:10 PM) Flowers got the 2nd life & chased the same pitch He's just bad at the plate folks...not gonna change that
