BigHurt3515 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) I'm happy with the lineup as constructed. I'd prefer Dunn behind Abreu and I don't like putting Gillaspie in a position (after Eaton) where he is bound to see more LHP. Where he is, his non-power hits can drive in the runners ahead of him. I don't understand why Dunn should be 4th.. Gillaspie has a better chance of knocking in Abreu then Dunn IMO.. All I know is Gillaspie should not be batting 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shysocks Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) well it worked out, Danks made good pitches. Was actually a pretty textbook move, Avila has never hit lefties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) Imma go on the record and say this is an awful move by Robin. We'll see how it plays out. Outmanaged by Robin Ventura on Soxtalk. The shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Leave Danks in to get one more out so we can advertise him as having an ERA in the lower 4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Reports that Tigers might lead for Price. I would prefer they don't get him, as they have the money to bring him back (assuming they'd let Max go then). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't take what I said out of f***ing context like you do everything else. It was a throwaway freaking comment mostly based on how John Danks is throwing BP. It's pretty textbook to favor that matchup with a dangerous righty and 1st open. The way John was pitching my gut said no matter how good the platoon matchup Avila would make him pay. Well Danks made 3 good pitches and got out of it big f***ing deal either way. Good god man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1dog Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 01:55 PM) Conor should be hitting second. I don't care if he's left-handed. When you have a guy with a .370 OBP batting 6th and the rest of your lineup sucks, you're doing it wrong. Beckham protects Conor though. Always cracks me up when I see that. Robin is clueless. He's like the Tyrone Corbin of baseball managing with his lineups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like freeing up Rios' salary got us Abreu. Freeing up Peavy's salary did that. I think the Sox wanted to let Viciedo develop, but that hasn't exactly worked out.
