Lol Shuck might be a 4th outfielder on a contending team but he should be starting on the Sox in Avi's place with Avi being 4th outfielder by committee.

Might pitch well but doesn't mean they will win.

Good call to push the finale of Mr. Robot a week.

Thompson because why the hell not. Shuck. But seriously, if he wanted to give Eaton a day off, why is he PH late in games?

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 11:18 PM) Really wanted the team to be .500 this year, thought that would give me some excitement of a wild card race late into the season. But outside of about 6 weeks of nice baseball, man. In some ways I'm very optimistic about this team, but putting it all together just seems so impossible. Firing Ventura and KW will be a good start. They are Trestman and Emery.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 10:29 PM) Doesn't matter, you have wanted him in if it meant Alexei was out, which is exactly what happened. Your wish came true and it still got a complaint from you. What about Sanchez batting second? Trayce playing everyday. Shuck playing more. Avi riding pine. Keep cherry picking though.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) If you don't care about Beckham batting 9th, you probably shouldn't have b****ed about him playing 5 minutes earlier. You are funny, I will give you that. I said, "I forgot s***ty Beckham was playing." Did I say Why was he playing? No I did not.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 10:17 PM) I can't bag on a manager for lineups when it sucks to begin with. It is what it is. Ventura doesn't even bother managing. Saladino batting first was a telltale sign. Last season he batted f***ing Jordan Danks in the number one spot. Jordan f***ing Danks!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 10:14 PM) When it was pointed out to you when you insisted Alexei never play what was left to throw out there, you said Beckham would be fine. Your are a classic whiner. You're* Beckham was 9th. I don't care about that. Saladino and Avi are both 9th hitters too. You can't have that many weak hitters in your line up and expect to win.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) He had a hit. I just find it funny you complain when they do the things you want. You cherry picking... So Ramirez is out. That's one change. What about the other changes I advocated? Sad attempt DA. Try again.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 10:11 PM) Just my humble opinion--we can stop digging into every little decision about lineups and pitching changes. The coaching staff already has proven to be garbage over the last few years. They gotta go, and if they don't, well, they'll get what they deserve in the W-L columns next year, poor attendance, and low TV and radio ratings. Listen, I try not to do often but the evidence is damning you don't bring back Ventura or his staff. Coop included. They just shat the bed this year.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 10:08 PM) It's call-up season, so who does Ventura/Cooper put into the lineup? Gordon Beckham, everybody! But no call-ups. Forgot s***ty ass Beckham was in the line up. So Beckham, Avi, Saladino Yikes.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) Trace Thompson in vs. The LHP and Soto DHing. Isn't DHing Soto something Robin was an idiot not to do before? Oh and just for you, Alexei not in the line up. He does what you want and you still moan. lMAO. Saladino leading off. I don't need to say anything else.

Ventura threw out a s*** lineup guys. It was hilariously bad.

He went at hitters too. I like that.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) Velocity as advertised? 99 a couple of times.

Nicely done Montas.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) I want to know the people's opinion of the Twins. While they've impressed me compared to what I expected them to be, I'm not impressed with them overall I guess. I really don't understand how they're playing this well. It's nothing new how they get timely hits considering they've done that over the past decade plus. They don't hit for average very well, don't have a lot o power. What they do is they don't leave people on base. They are way ahead of 2nd place for least runners left on base this year. It's unbelievable. They have a lot of young talent obviously, I just don't believe they're worthy of a playoff spot. They only have 1 winning month record wise all season. The twins just play fundamental ball. They are not very good but they play defense, move runners over, and get their timely hits it seems.

Yeah Sox are getting swept. Probably will lose all of them at KC but that's a good thing. Need that draft pick.

Well Webb wet the bed big time. It doesn't matter. Lose out!

Good job so far by the bullpen. The Twins are pulling a Sox.

Dozier struck himself out there. He would look good in a Sox uniform.

The Sox are just bad. Millone gets rocked usually.

Anyone know how they are getting DNA off a bullet?

I always bring my glove. It's fun.
