greg775 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Why would you trade people think anybody would want Frazier. Poor guy's middle name should be .198 or.202. That's his ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a time when he doesn't look that way? Occasionally. I was lucky enough to sit free (Amazon account friend of a friend) 6th row right behind home plate when the Sox played the Mariners here. He was in a nice groove, staying back on the ball, recognizing off speed stuff. He got the same curveball in that game and drove it oppo field gap for a double. That breaking ball, that Stone described as a "knee buckler" but that Hawk (and myself) immediately thought was a meat ball (and to be fair Stone's perspective is valid, but Hawk, and in my s*** career, we hit, not pitched) he would have hit 400 feet if he was in a groove. Instead he didn't even swing. Problem is Todd's "grooves" are getting shorter and shorter. Luckily he's still very good at 3B so he should have some trade value.

greg775 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 MLB.com has to think of a better way to make advertising dollars than play the same commercial every f***ing half inning. I will NEVER buy the product because of some b**** singing, "I'm gonna retire early; I'm gonna save some money!" f*** you! Nice hit by Avi.

chitownsportsfan Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 You can here in Stone's voice that he enjoys talking to a guy that actually knows the game a bit. No offense to Jason, who bring a positive attitude and professional demeanor, but there's something to be said for having played imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm just old but this team reminds somewhat of the early 90's sox. We actually have some talented young position players coming up. Pitching remains to be seen.

It's interesting that you say this because I've found Stone to be far more energized during the Benetti broadcasts. I think working with someone who's more willing to engage in conversations and actually has knowledge of other teams has brought the best out of Stone.

I think he is enjoying having the best of both worlds....he gets Hawk, who knows the game, but he gets Jason as well, who isn't quite as serious all the time. This is probably as happy as he's been in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
