Quin Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Quintana's bad luck ran it's course for at least one game. Abreu is coming alive. Feels like he's about to go on a tear. Bonifacio will likely be the first DFA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Nice job Robin! You personally made the guys hit some timely homers! Sweeping the Astros feels way better than sweeping the As. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 A 3 HR game ? Yes please. Great pitching for both teams but Sox just a nudge better. Broom ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Another great pitching performance. Hopefully Samardzija can continue this Friday in Tampa. Way to go Q! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sox defense let Q down once again but he was able to overcome it. Our rotation is looking good. If only Erik Johnson can keep it up and eventually replace Danks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I think Shuck has earned some more playing time as well. Here's a plan: DFA Boni (someone will claim him and maybe more than one, work out a trade pickup 500k whatever, he's not being used properly and he sucks anyways) Call up Micah Micah and Sanchez form a semi strict platoon and Sanchez is the primary backup at SS instead of Beckham. Shuck and Soto now start 2-3 times a week. ___________ This team really needs to squeeze every damn bit of WAR they can out of this pile of suck they have at 2B and C. Who cares about development right now make the damn 2nd wildcard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Fun game, fun series to watch! Sweeping 1st place teams is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 FWIW, over the past 2 seasons, his partial one last year and now this one, Avi's isoD is like .60 That's pretty good. He gets hit quite a bit and he takes just enough walks that combined with his high average (I think he'll always hit at least around 280, with some seasons up around 310) that's going to result in a OBP of around 350-380. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Beautiful night at the ballpark perfect weather. First five innings seemed to take forever. Nice timely homeruns. Got lucky with Q left him in one batter too long. Base running is terrible Vince Coleman needs to be reassigned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Since being 8-14, they have played 4 over .500 without playing well. Rodon in the rotation helps. Sale, IMO, getting up to speed after missing spring training helps. Q is been much better lately. Get Samardjiza going, some guys starting to hit better, and who knows what happens. As great as everyone wants to make out the AL Central, each team has some major flaws. The fact that the Sox probably have a much better record than they should I find encouraging. They have to regress to the mean which would mean some guys are really going to be playing pretty well soon. There is no question in my mind Melky will be much better. Eaton will be much better. Alexei will be much better. Abreu will be much better. To me the key is Samardjiza. If he starts pitching like they thought he would when acquired, it is going to be hard to beat this team. That would be 4 top guys. It is so funny how little respect Q gets. The advanced numbers say for the past 3 1/2 seasons, he's been just as good as Jon Lester. Yet he makes more than $100 million less, and is younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 It got a little ugly on Tuesday night, but that was an impressive sweep. If Samardzija gets going, this team has an opportunity to get real hot. Starting pitching could be the best in the league the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet he makes more than $100 million less, and is younger. This is how I see it. There's certainly no guarantee that all the stuff the should happen actually will happen, but we are far, far from the point where the team has no chance to win. We're 58 games into a 162 game season and two under .500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Just reminds me of every season ever, where we are hovering 2 games above or below 500, 4-5 games out and thinking "well if we just put together one hot run!". Would be nice to see that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to see that happen. That's very true. This is the time to get hot--right now. If they get to 42-39 at the half point, I think a second half 46-35 for 88 wins is a possibility...especially if they're in a position to pick up a bat in late July. So 14-9 starting tomorrow night. Get hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
