Nice win. When you have Abreu in the lineup you win some 6-5 games. Lot of good things like Gillaspie getting another big RBI hit and Eaton coming through with the chopper hit. And Bella who had lousy stuff surviving a five-out ninth. The leadoff hitter should have been out on that liner to right. Who knows what would have happened had we gotten that out. Maybe a 1-2-3 ninth. Great win. It would have been meltdown mode blowing a 2-run lead in the ninth in opening game of a 4-game set. You guys may get rained out tomorrow if this front is headed your way. Royals game had no chance today. It's been raining for 11 hours straight.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 03:25 AM) Didn't want a Sale/LAA repeat. Belisario was giving up a lot of hard hit balls. Yes it would have been a very difficult loss.

Big win. Four-game series are scary. Nice job not blowing it. Abreu is a hero.

What's wrong with Bella fastball tonite?! It's not fast.

Torii is up? You've got to be bleeping me!

What an idiot. How do you take that pitch? Two out. Sox need a break and win in regulation.

Bella has nothing. Get him out of there.

Kinsler up and we can't walk him. We in trouble.

Inexcusable to blow a 2-run lead in the ninth at home in a big game. Damn.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 04:00 AM) De Aza might be the worst base runner I've ever seen. He's basically a faster Carlos Lee in the field and on the paths. He's f***ing atrocious. Stop listening to any stat that says otherwise and, for the love of God, don't use them in an argument. He also either is slow out of the box or just slow now. Cause that bunt tonight was perfect and he would not have beaten it out had the pitcher not made a horrific throw.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 03:59 AM) ADA takes way too much heat. He has produced as a Sox How so? He has stunk this year after stinking last year. That's not good.

Can you believe all the Hawks had to do was win a Game 7 at home and another Cup would have been Chicago's? Amazing. The Hawks would have clowned the Rangers.

Very weak, Mr. DeAza. Pathetic.

How bout a single between third and short? ---Edit: Well he moved the runners for Tank or DeAza.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 03:37 AM) For evaluating a one-off play where no replay is shown, sure, it's not ideal. For evaluating over thousands of plays, it's easily enough, particularly when combined with studying defensive metrics. They're not ideal, but looking at them over a 3-year period is more than enough to accurately surmise whether a player is obviously good or obviously bad. Viciedo is obviously bad. Reasonable post. It's not ideal, but it is possible to rule a player a lousy defender by watching on TV and listening to the announcers on the replay, etc. Tank is no Chet Lemon, that is for sure.

Abreu should start the all star game. Amazing to have a bonafide star on the Sox again. Edit: To go with Sale.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 03:31 AM) Sox 5-4 thru 7 I think we're up 6-4.

Damn, this would be a good win. I do not want to see the Sox blow this one.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 03:24 AM) What's the rule again? How many seconds? Believe it or not I think it's 12 seconds.

Beckham should be 4-for-4. Didn't he have a four-hit game earlier? I think I recall one.

I wish I could email the booth. Don't blame the college coaches, Hawk, blame the umps. There's a RULE on how long it takes to deliver a pitch. Enforce it.

Nice hit by Eaton off this lousy stiff reliever.

If Tyler can hit .250 he's a big leaguer. .220ish won't cut it.

Poor Tyler can't hit anymore. That 2-1 pitch was a cookie.

It's literally been raining since noon in KC. You guys gonna get this front soon?
