QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) We have our closer and rest of the team we need for 2017 bro....

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) His mechanics suck at the plate. He jams himself so much, and he is unable to turn on anything because of his approach. He can't catch up to a fastball besides to occasionally slap one to right field... when he does get around on a fast ball its usually a groundball to shortstop. He pops up hanging breaking balls... Oh and he leads the majors in swinging at balls out of the strike zone....

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) Kahnle had 7 strikeouts and 9 walks in 9.1 IP. Why put him in that game? Combination of a horrible bullpen and a clueless manager. A great recipe for victory.

Kahnle is pure garbage.. time to trade him for some scissors for Sale..

11 Home runs and almost August. My favorite is the dude that said he is only hitting 20 pts below his career.... some interesting math going on there...

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:19 PM) someone wake robin to try and make a statement If I'm Robin I'm getting tossed on that BS third strike to eaton... But maybe he didn't see it...

Some people really have their head buried in the sand on Abreu... It's not time to give up on him.. but not only is his bat mediocre... his glove has become horrible. Yikes

dropped his ERA from 31 to 5.17..... Keep that trend

Wow has this guy turned it around. Someone figured something out...

Well.. bullpen blow late game lead.. but win in bottom of the 9th. If it works... keep it going... Saladino has played amazing for as little as he sees the field.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:16 PM) That would be kudos from the great Hahn Well half the bullpen is injured also... I mean Hahn has whiffed a lot also don't get me wrong..

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:13 PM) Thank you once again Robin. You continue to amaze me with the ways you come up with to blow ballgames. You may be the worst manager in the history of MLB. while I don't think Robin is a good manager... look at the trash he has to send out of the bullpen... When your big go to is Matt Albers... your in trouble.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) Hitting him early isn't bad if he has his good stuff. I agree... we can't let first pitch fastball just go by.

Arrieta is one of the best... but Shuck swung at a ball that was so far off the plate outside... Can't do that crap with a great pitcher.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 11:53 PM) Looking at the box which doesn't say much, was there a reason that Q didn't stay in there longer? I just find Robins use of the pen more of an addiction than managing. To me it's the pen where most of the mental midgets roost. Quintana was at 117 pitches.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) Go away Why.. finishing over .500 seems like a win atm...not even being facetious

It is hard to find a great closer though.. look at Rosenthal for the Cardinals and some others. They often go up and down. One thing that is very clear though.. Robertson is not worth the large contract he has.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) Since this thread was created, Robertson has given up 7 runs in 4 innings. Maybe it should be deleted? That righteous indignation.... usually happens that way.

couple dramatic wins in a row...

wasn't fantastic last year... and now not fantastic this year...

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:42 PM) He probably would have resumed after the first one. Ridiculous they don't just suspend this now. They should suspend it. Not sure if Sale would have pitched again.. they tend to be careful with him.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) Hopefully, making his team pay for his immaturity will make an impression on him. With the multiple rain delays... I doubt Sale would have pitched more than 2 innings anyway.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:21 PM) Looks like a suspended game is a possibility. Terrible night for the Sox. Ehh... I've seen more terrible.. but we were weak in the clutch offensively like usual.

this game is going to be suspended until tomorrow

bennetti started talking about how the tigers haven't scored when Martinez was intentionally walked... dude needs to stop that crap
