Martin did more than what should be counted on from a guy like him. Great game by him.- 8/9 Game Two - Vs. KC Because Why Not
Yeah, I'd take that, even.- 8/9 Game Two - Vs. KC Because Why Not
There should be a rule that says you should be allowed to sweep doubleheaders.- Chris Sale?
Only if we can bring Drake LaRoche in as a coach. The guy's a true leader.- Tony's Wake Up Music
Maybe one in Spanish?- 8/9 Game 1 GT: Sox at Royals - Lynn vs. TBD (Tue 310CT)
At least until he goes back to Charlotte.- 8/7 GT: Sox @ Rangers - Giolito vs. Howard (135pmCT)
I feel like Fan Duel (or Draft Kings or whoever the gambling sponsor is) needs to show THOSE odds on the screen. That would be way more enticing to me.- 8/7 GT: Sox @ Rangers - Giolito vs. Howard (135pmCT)
Nice to see some hustle when we need that 7-run lead.- 8/7 GT: Sox @ Rangers - Giolito vs. Howard (135pmCT)
Pollock seems to thrive hitting leadoff. Time to move TA down in the order to let him get it right.- 8/7 GT: Sox @ Rangers - Giolito vs. Howard (135pmCT)
No, come on. He’s not THAT stupid. He’s going to move him up to the 9th spot in the order.- 8/7 GT: Sox @ Rangers - Giolito vs. Howard (135pmCT)
How dare he defy Menechino?- The official thread of unbridled second half optimism
Grandal with a nice double down the line. When’s the last time he had an CBH? Heck - last night was the first time I’ve seen Grandal smiling all season, seemingly. Eloy looks like he is starting to come into form. Also, nice 1-2-3 from Kelly and Hendriks.- What’s Vaughn’s offensive ceiling?

I got the sense that @wegner was being a little sarcastic.- Cease AL Pitcher of the Month again
I would think that the Silver Slugger and GG awards would cover the "All Pro" teams for position players, and Cy Young + Reliever of the Year would cover the pitchers' portion. ...though it would be cool to have a 5-man All-Pro rotation for each league (or as all of MLB)- Trade Rumors Catch-all
That is some great, hard-hitting reporting right there from the Journal Sentinel.- Cease AL Pitcher of the Month again
I feel like someone should give a raise to whatever GM made that trade for the Sox Oh wait....- The official thread of unbridled second half optimism

Yeah it seems like (other than "first half Carlos") we had a collection of #2 starters. Of course their numbers looked better, but my feeling going into the playoffs matches your sentiments above. Now we have a #1 starter and a bunch of question marks.- Why not Colas?
He has 52 plate appearances above Class A, in which he has a .500 BABIP. Don't get me wrong - he appears to be progressing well, but to suggest that he can jump in and contribute at the big league level on a contending team is misguided IMO.- Why not Colas?
I don't like the idea of rushing prospects. Not saying Colas isn't ready, but he's tearing the cover off the ball in a new league. Do we know what happens when teams adjust to his approach? Can HE make the adjustments he needs as a hitter? Essentially, how much of his success is due to talent + sheer hard work, and how much of his success is due to his ability to adapt? Because the big leagues are littered with guys who've made it here on talent and hard work, but won't stick because they don't know how to make the adjustments that the league is making around them. ...or is this kind of an outdated way of thinking, now that video, scouting reports, and statcast-type metrics are available for more and more levels of minor leagues?- Hahn talking at 5:30
