I dont think it is a crap shoot either. Washington deserves to be there. They have 2 of the best hitters in the game and terrific starting pitching along with a good manager.

In the book I read, during the game your main focus, is where the ball is being released from the pitchers release point.

Mechanics are for practice, not for the game. I read a book about the psychology of hitting and this point was made.

Awesome, I love small ball!

The Italian Combo...Bridgeport will be proud! Wait is Coop Italian? Well, they at least will both sound like Italian Chicagoans.

I love him. The guys on the Charlotte team with the most at bats knew how to draw walks! (With the exception of Seby Zavala) I love his quote on walks. Super excited!

Both Leury and Yolmer should both be released no matter if the arb price is bare bones low. Leury 139 K's to 21 BB Yolmer 117 K's to 44 BB We can find good bench players that put up good at bats and get on base probably within our farm system for league minimum salary. I do like both of these players though so if they do leave I wish them well. I love Sanchez personality, and I love Leury makes the sign of the Cross.

Rendon having a field day vs. LA in the NLDS.

Sign Rendon, move Moncada to the OF.

I guess your right. New manager, maybe, cut costs? They probably will pick up the 16 mil. and sign him. So much for wishful thinking.

Ok, not yet, he has a team option 16.5 mil l, 2 mil buyout...did that change?

You are kind of right, he only had 1 hit in July in 19 PA.

Lets not monkey around, get Rendon and Rizzo. R & R. The two best hitters on the market.

They never gave him full opportunity otherwise he would have!

The Sox need a brand new mentality at the plate which will probably mean a new hitting coach. Wait I read this wrong, they have parted ways with Steverson already, this is a good first move, I wish Steverson well. This team needs to be able to draw walks. Their strikeout to walk ratio is very bad, and the good teams in the MLB are just the opposite. Almost every Sox hitter strikes out 5 times to 1 walk. The best K to W was Ryan Goins with 44 Ks to 17 BB.

Thanks poppy, It's neat you noticed. ?

Mendick should be the every day 2B for the rest of the season. See what he can do. We know what Sanchez can do and it seems like Sanchez is a good clubhouse guy that can spot start, pinch run, pinch hit, here and there.

The difference between a good team and a poor one. Game one vs the Astros. Astros batters 10 bb to 5 ks. Sox batters 9 ks to 2 bb. Steverson has to go, this happens night after night.

It was only for about ones season, but I enjoyed Steve Sax

Yattah Boyz #38!

I don't mind the Minaya move. Minaya has to be able to get the job done there.

Dety was getting ahead of hitters all night, pitched well. Marshal came out firing. Lets add on to our lead!

I dont agree with this. Why even have these journeymen players then? He is performing, what more can we ask for? Goins is perfect for a spot start and utility role, rather then a younger player who needs more playing time and would benefit staying in the minors until ready for a full time ML role. As far as Mendick, I would send down Rondon, put Sanchez on the bench and let Mendick start for a month or two.

If Palka isnt going to get full time playing time on the ML team then let him keep raking in Charlotte. Call up Goins, he will help the team more in a limited role.

Call up both Goins and Mendick. Cordell is showing some life, but Rondon has not turned the corner, give these guys in AAA that are playing well a chance.
