OK now they can turn 3.

Heblows

Can I propose a rule that we stop mentioning Madrigal as a part of a championship team until his OPS at A-Ball is no longer bouncing around .700?

Bump

This Alonso experiment needs to fucking end.

This is what a lot of games are going to be like in a year or two. Keep the faith.

Alright, let's bring in Fry now so we can have a comeback win in the 8th.

Charlie Tilson's WAR? 🤔

Did we just turn a triple play?!?!

HOLY SHIT I CALLED THAT

This too. I don't even get satisfaction when we get good Nova, I don't even care.

I could see Eaton being a biter to be honest.

Lol Eaton calling drake LaRoche the team leader was one of the most embarrassing things I've been in the professional baseball world. Good on Frazier for calling out his bullshit.

Good timing with me bumping this thread yesterday and Yoan's golden sombrero. The thing is, even with the 4ks he's still way above where I thought he would be at this point in this season Can't wait to see what he does as a 24 year old.

I think you guys are overreacting about a really small sample size. Everyone has a couple bad games and nobody was touching Verlander last night. He'll be fine.

If we're putting together the list, somewhere at the top of it needs to be Robin Ventura. This mess happened under his "watch". IMO he checked out starting in 2013 and the fact that all this is still going on is a testament to how much of a problem that became.

Yeah, we heard about this feud. I had no idea Jimmy Rollins got into it with Lawrie. Lawrie is one guy if I was looking for a fight, I would avoid. He seems like he could go way nuts.

Let’s get a win. somehow.

wow grand slam and triple play only happens roughly once a decade. Send the game ball to the HOF.

Yep. Let's hope Moncada becomes a perennial 30/30 guy.

Locking this one down is huge. Then they can go for the series split with Giolito tomorrow.

I truly believe this team has moved out of abjectly awful into mediocre

That ball was crushed. Holy shit.

Two doubles now for Robert.

Forbes 2-2, 2B, 2 BBs, R.

I said this several weeks ago. Last night Steve was talking about how fast he works. Said you would think other guys would learn from watching Verlander work fast.

Boom goes Abreu !

It just took 36 seconds in between pitches. Cmon baseball you can do better.

Yea that wasn’t my point at all

Here ya go, you vultures

Alonso crushed that one

At least Gio has turned it around in a big way. If we were getting more 2018 Lucas things would be very grim.

Unfortunately, this is where professional scouting is even more important. I can't honestly say that this is an organizational strength.

Counterpoint: He will absolutely be around.

After last off-season, I'm never getting my hopes up again. Just going to wait for the "Sox agree to sign/sign (insert player name here) to deal" headline. Edit: not until Jerry is gone at least.

I tell ya what I'd pay good money to see Sale and Eaton fight. Sale has an obvious reach advantage but if Eaton gets him on the ground it might be Eaton that emerges the winner.

He said catchers

Or they could have a power hitting catcher and a light hitting 2nd baseman. There's no best way to do it. The whole is what matters.

It would be awesome if more players did this. Well, probably not from a baseball standpoint, but from a 'I don't like the old rich guys who run baseball teams' stand point.

I feel this is a common occurrence with Reinsdorf owned teams. You see ridiculous stuff like this all the time with the bulls. Paxson grabbing Del Negro by the tie, the players temporary mutiny against Boylen this year. There are plenty of other examples as well.

Seriously. It's the ultimate worst case scenario. I despise everything about Boston but you are not a true Hawks fan if you are rooting for fucking St. Louis. So go Boston I guess... and hope it's going to be their last title for the next 50+ years.

This fucking quote: Yes, it is crazy Adam.

What does this have to do with the games played today my man?

Honestly, I’m glad all the players involved are gone, from Rollins and LaRoche who were washed-up and should have never been signed, to Frazier who was mediocre with the Sox, to Eaton who is a man child but quite honestly contributed most to the current state of the Sox by performing and getting traded for three players. LaRoche’s son should have never been allowed in the clubhouse as if he was a player. Rollins was right about that. And why did the Sox even give a player of LaRoche’s ilk special privileges anyways? 😂

I want to pretend this is stupid and I’m not interested, but this is fantastic and has greatly enriched my day.

I've said it before and I'll say it again- baseball is a game and it's fun. Benetti is having fun The alternative is someone like Hawk who's completely miserable, thinks that his opinions are facts and b****es all game long Hawk might be better if this team is good in 2020 and 2021, yet even then, Benetti is really good in close games and on big calls, so I imagine he'd be the same way for a consistently competitive team

So you're essentailly going to counter a 350 PA clip with a 14 day sample size? Come on, guy.

Accurate:

How can you say that? This guy is much better than Ken.
