fathom Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 8, 2015 -> 02:58 AM) Well, Jones looked fantastic. If he's healthy, an 8th-9th inning of him and Robertson is nasty. Yep, at this point, don't abuse him and get him comfortable in the set-up role going into next year. I actually do trust the Sox to handle him well.

fathom Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2015 -> 02:58 AM) His delivery reminded me of McCarthy. It's really quick and he flies through it. Didn't make me think of Danks. He's not as lanky so it's like he just starts and explodes forwards. Fulmer does everything quickly. He has an incredible pickoff move for a RHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2015 -> 07:58 PM) I can't see him changing his mechanics much, so I'm sure they'll keep him as a starter and just hope for the best. Oh I agree they want and badly need him to be a starter and a successful one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that having Bonifacio and Beckham on the bench to go with Leury is a complete joke. The reluctance of the Sox to cut ties with Bonifacio at this point of the season is crazy to me.

Dick Allen Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Game was lost in the 8th. Saladino missed 2 hangers one he didn't swimg at, Abreu didn't swing at one and struck out on a pitch a foot outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Danks did well but he was getting his pitches up and was laboring. Robin should've pulled him after the 1st 2 Royals got on base. Just say job well done and hope the BP does its job instead of insisting he go 6 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I'd PH for Tyler Flowers for the rest of his natural life. I mean how can someone who looks a. so clueless (for a catcher especially since they R supposed to have high IQ and pitch recognition by virtue of their position) b. so defeated c. so slow in his reaction time and batspeed d. so stiff in his stance e. so uncoordinated in his swing f. so uncharacteristically pull-happy wasn't Tyler Flowers K-Dub's crown jewel in the Javy Vazquez trade IIRC? Didn't he have an unusual natural power to opposite field, advance ability to draw walks and just general confident attitude? What the hell happened? RWS Roid withdrawal Syndrome doesn't explain for how pathetic he looks now. Part is definately the usual Sox coaching voodoo doing a number on his swing.
