fathom Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 02:44 AM) We're giving up on Sanchez already? No, but he always seemed to be the least likely of the three minor leaguers to be a big league starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 09:27 PM) Marcus Semien You think we'll turn over 2-3 infield spots this winter? Marcus at 3B, Sanchez/Johnson 2B, Alexei SS? I think Connor is here to stay, at least through 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 09:41 PM) He played injured all year. I'm not saying he's a lock to be great right away, but he was on the fast track, and they'll have room for him. If it was all year, it didn't hold him back too much at AA. Marcus is absolutely raking at Charlotte, assuming his BB:K ratio is somewhat improved when he comes up from his previous MLB level, I'm giving him the inside track. Give players time to master a level. Stop rushing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 28 games for Abreu to make a Triple Crown run. Could you imagine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This is the kind of game I'm not too bummed out about losing. The core pieces rake, and the main thing that loses us the game is the performance of a non-core piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the type of game I wanna see for the rest of the year and would be perfectly content if we lost every single game that's left.

flavum Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Agreed on the losing thing. I want Sale and Rodon to win, but 90 losses should get the Sox a top 8 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a whole lot of effort out there by the veterans. The fans gave up on this team about 25 games ago, so might as well get the highest pick possible.

kapzk Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Felix Hernandez getting rocked tonight, 4 Hr and 5er given up so far in 4 innings ... anyone think there's a possibility Sale can take the Cy Young away from Felix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, and Kluber is probably ahead of Sale. Going to be tough to win a Cy with 27 starts unless the numbers are way ahead of the other pitchers.
