Balta1701 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) Two team options on a potential stud pitcher? That's fantastic. I can't tell whether this comment is describing Sale's contract or Quintana's contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananarchy Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 03:06 PM) I can't tell whether this comment is describing Sale's contract or Quintana's contract. They mirror each other. Quintana's is significantly cheaper. In each case, the sox have two cheap looks at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 No reason for Abreu to still be batting. Definitely hobbled, and game is out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple days ago someone suggested having him open up his stance. Sounds like a great idea to me. I still advocate 40 pushups every time he hits a ball to the right side.

They should. It sucks. And it's on the coaching staff for not getting his approach right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
