Why would they not bring him back? He is one of the best hitters on the team.

I just have the feeling Sox will cut bait on him his arbitration number will be more than Sox will want to pay.

True. So with AJ, the team usually underacheives, collapses, or gets embarrassed by a division rival.

 

Without AJ, they just flat out suck. Got it.

I love how you dismiss all the teams he played on that were good, including a WS champ, a division winner, and a few others that went down to the wire.

Pretty impressive that AJP is batting fifth for the Texas Rangers. Obviously he's not washed up. It's apparent Sox made a big mistake in letting him go. One could make a case that our record would be better if we had a decent catcher who could hit.

Haven't you said this exact thing before? Sounds kinda like bringing up Ozzie...

Did Hawk really just say Crede was on his way to becoming one of the best 3B in MLB history?

 

If he stayed completely healthy he would have certainly been one of the most BELOVED Sox players of all time.

 

That guy was one of the BIGGEST FAN FAVS I have ever seen.

 

Man I miss that guy. Just provided so many memories I will never forget, from his defense to his major clutch hitting.

 

Crede & Dye were def 2 of my favs.

U.S. Cellular is fun place to be tonight. The crowd of 31,891 is the biggest since Opening Day, when Chris Sale beat James Shields 1-0.

 

Such a great day that was.

 

Then right off the cliff....

I love how you think one player's presence in the clubhouse can prevent errors and dumb mistakes. The Sox have been pissing their pants in crunch time yearly since 2006, despite this godly presence in the clubhouse.

 

AJP is an above average hitting catcher, catches a great game IMO, and always gives 110%. That's why he is a solid baseball player, not some magical motivational ability.

Hawk really hates De Aza. The Sox should definitely skip a start or two of Sale's down the stretch

 

Come September there is no doubt in my mind I think they do.

 

Erik Johnson will be up here taking some starts & with the way Rienzo has been pitching he is going no where.

 

We all know Sale is the Ace.

 

Let's see Danks continue to round himself back into old shape & see Hector, Jose, Andre, & Erik make a lot of the starts down the stretch battling it out for next season.

Honestly I think Tank did the right thing.

 

He looked right at the Ump who was RIGHT THERE & threw his arms up for a second & gave him the look.

 

He then began to panic since when he looked at the Ump he made no decision.

 

TERRIBLE call from an Ump in PERFECT position.

Except he didn't do the right thing.

That's the silliest thing to come to such an absolute "period" conclusion on. Double digging means its a live ball ? Show me that in the rules.

No, it's really not. I'm a licensed high school and college umpire, and that's the rule. Period.
