Jose Abreu

Although I'd like a L tonight, it's nice to see Taylor, Sanchez, and Semien providing offense.

Good to have you back, Marcus

I guess Tyler's scared now that Phegley's up so he's gonna start hitting.

My dream scenario for the Sox this month would be for us to win every game Sale and Quintana start and lose all the others. In those wins, Abreu hits like crazy and wins the triple crown.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) Stone dropping Vmart hints Every Free Agency Rumor article I've read in the past week has predicted V-Mart to the Sox. I still think he re-ups in Detroit.

Stone has his Michael Taylors mixed up.

Do we have to wait until tomorrow for the full list of call-ups?

I strongly disagree. 2011 was terrible, but when I found out what he was going through with his son that year, I didn't hate him as much. 2012-2014, he did exactly what we signed him to do- he got on base at a great rate, hit home runs, and got RBIs. He was not signed to hit .280 every year.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 03:08 PM) I predict 4-4 with 2 jacks tonight. Because I can. He might not even hit 2 jacks the rest of this season. But the 4-4 is possible.

Come on...

Putnam has been the best reliever. Even Petricka has started to suck.

While Abreu and Eaton are steadily increasing their batting averages, Gillaspie has been doing the opposite. He's down below .300.

Is it 2007 Music Night at the park? Why are they playing Good Charlotte and Daughtry?

Your 2015 Cy Young Award Winner... Chris Sale! Your 2015 MVP Award Winner... Jose Abreu!

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 02:18 PM) Also gotta factor in Martinez, Cano, and Beltre when talking about the batting title. Altuve- .332 VMart- .330 Cano- .327 Beltre- .327 Abreu- .318 So ya gotta hope all 4 of those guys go into a bit of a slump. Another base hit. He's at .320 now. You don't necessarily have to hope for them to slump, but rather for Abreu to continue his pace. Wasn't he at .305 4-5 days ago?

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) Stupid question, can you tell me where you can look up stats by dates like that? QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...atting_gamelogs Or you can do that.

KKKKKKKKKKKK. That's 12 Ks.

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) Stupid question, can you tell me where you can look up stats by dates like that? Most use FanGraphs. I used BaseballReference, went to Tyler Flowers' batting page, moused over "splits", hit "2014", and it gave me his monthly stats. I had to add his hits and divide them by ABs, though.

Triple Crown Update- .318 (.014 behind Altuve) 98 RBI (4 ahead of Ortiz) 33 HR (1 behind Cruz)

Triple Crown Update- .318 (.014 behind Altuve) 98 RBI (4 ahead of Ortiz) 33 HR (1 behind Cruz)

KKKKKKKKK (9). Sale finally beats V-Mart.

I hate the wide belief that on 0-2, you have to be safe and pitch way out of the zone. All it does is elevate your pitch count. If you're going to try to strike him out, then don't wait until you've thrown 2-3 balls in a row.

Eaton just missed a triple. Nice catch by Hunter.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 01:30 PM) Felix has been pretty bad the last 3 starts. The problem is, Sale has looked pretty bad recently, too.
