Donaldson is lighting them up

2/4 “balls” were strikes. WTF

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 07:44 PM) Missed his last AB, so this is more a delayed statement from earlier, but I’ve always been baffled about why Moncada excites people. Strikes out waaaaay too much. Think Kopech will be the actual prize from the Sale trade, and it won’t even be close. Also, is there anyone left who thinks Saladino doesn’t suck? I called that one a while ago. I wish I would disagree but f***, there’s something about Moncada that concerns me. It just feels like with every 433 foot HR into 25 mph winds in KC he has 3-4 rough games at the plate. I really, REALLY want to be wrong.

Garcia hit that one to god damn Quebec

Nice catch

At this point I’m not even upset with losses. I just picture the lineup with Jimenez and the rotation with Kopech, and then I get excited

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:37 PM) Come on Yoan. Was too eager there to try and elevate the ball and got put in a bad spot. He’s either really eager or really patient.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 05:35 PM) But second is for guys who advance the runner not guys who drive the ball like Avi. But Saladino and Anderson "advance the runner?"

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 11:52 AM) I guess the Sox were laughing about it according to Fegan's postgamer. Watching live I thought it was a pretty redass move from Donaldson considering it was a 340 ft flyball hit into the right spot. I had no idea Boston was whistling for nice defense. I'd be a bit annoyed as well. You know, I heard a loud whistle for 2-3 seconds after Yolmer's nice play late in the game, and I just figured it was a moronic fan blowing a whistle. Evidently it's Boston, something I never knew.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 09:19 AM) I also will be at Wrestlemania. Going with two buddies who love Wrestling and I'm more of a passive fan. Mostly going out of my love for New Orleans, but I am super pumped. I've been to an ALCS game, two NFC Championships, multiple hockey playoff games and a few NBA playoff games but nothing will ever beat being at WrestleMania 22 live. The coolest sporting/entertainment event I've ever been to. I can't imagine how awesome it would be sitting with 80k people rather than 13k. Have a blast!

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 12:22 AM) He's a better than AAAA hitter, but his fielding is just...yikes. He'd be good in the AL, for sure. He can rake. Yeah that career OPS of .809 and BA of .224 is really raking.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:32 AM) Blake Rutherford is the poor man's Ryan Sweeney. So he.. sucks?

All I said was if they traded Abreu I’d ask for a ton since he’s so damn good. It’s not like they lost 1 game and I was insinuating that they should trade him. My post came right after his double

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:43 PM) Top 10 in all of baseball or organizational top 10? Top 10 in baseball I doubt, maybe top 50. But I’m asking for multiple top 10 from a single team no doubt. A great hitting 1B/DH? I’m asking for a top 10 prospect. Better than the Eaton package

People keep bringing up trading Abreu. If they trade him, you have to ask for a top 10 prospect and then some. He’s great

Fun fact: the warning track in Toronto is painted turf. It’s not actual dirt

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:29 PM) This guy shouldn't be a set-up man Isn’t Jones the SU man?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:10 PM) Daryl Boston and some guys laughed at Donaldson. Sometimes people in baseball are too uptight. It doesn’t make him any less of a prick

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:05 PM) Didn't greg call Castillo a bum today? Never fails. The guy who hit 282 last year & is a beast as a defensive catcher. Yeah.

Eat s*** Donaldson

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:00 PM) That he's an idiot What do you expect out of someone who was drafted by the Cubs

Man Donaldson is a f***

Not going to win many games scoring 1 run. Scoring a single run against Jaime f***ing Garcia isn’t ideal. Good start from Lopez.

Lopez is starting to miss his spots.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 06:40 PM) Lopez looks great. As does Garcia. These 2 guys are dealing
