QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 09:19 PM) This might be the worst bullpen in Sox history once Swarzak is traded I guess we'll finally know what Nationals fans go through every game.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 09:15 PM) Surprised there was no steal attempt Why are you surprised? Renteria doesn't like running with guys, even ones with speed. He'd rather call for a bunt to move them over. I said it before, it's embarrassing guys like Anderson only has 7 SBs with his speed. I bet Moncada probably only finishes with like 4 when the season ends.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 09:12 PM) What an eye. Couldn't be more impressed Just so refreshing seeing a young player with patience at the plate. Been long overdue for us. The hits will come for him. Not even worried about that.

GREAT at bat by Moncada.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:49 PM) Fake news, he struck out in his 3rd AB after I posted I probably should of said "in the same game".

Melky 4-4.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:42 PM) Haha 3 true outcome! I'll take Reds version of Adam Dunn behind the plate with average defense. Why does it seem like every time you go in on a hitting prospect, they hit a homer the next at bat fathom?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:33 PM) Bunting is more understandable hitting RH against Alexander. The hits will come eventually if he keeps making solid contact. I must of missed Alexander being some stud reliever.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:32 PM) He should flat out be fired. Unless he's doing it to purposely lose. Seriously, I know fans always called for managers to be fired, but this is insane. If u are trying to develop Moncada why would u ask him to bunt? I mean there is absolutely no reason for it. I agree with you 100% and I think many here are too. Even DA who has a sarcasm with posters who want every manager/coach fired, hated the bunt call with Moncada.

Holmberg.. can't even get lefties out. Feel bad for him.

Oh darn again.

Oh darn.

Eloy just pinch hitted. Struck out, but breathe easy guys. Basabe goes yard. Starting to heat up a bit.

6th walk for Pelfrey.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) You don't like trying to give up an out for the red hot Yolmer? As you said earlier, he has been cold as ice for a while now.

If the sox for whatever reason believe they need to get a Spanish speaking manager for this team in the future with all the young latin talent coming up (and a couple currently here), fine... but unless he changes his philosophy and principles of statics, Renteria can not be managing this team when they're ready to compete.

Ricky sets Moncada up to fail and he still comes through moving the runners. Atta boy.

Renteria is bunting with Moncada up.. f*** off.

5th inning once again giving Pelfrey problems.

Melky a triple away from the cycle!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 07:08 PM) Nope, rather take a chance with him figuring it out than an A ball lottery prospect You're better than this fathom.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) He's been crushing ball last 50 games Royals ironically seem like one of the best fits for him too at DH.

Flete deserves to be in AA, but I think Sox want to keep him in high A to see if W-S can push for the second half playoffs.

Keep upping that trade value Melky!

QUOTE (Quin @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 06:26 PM) I'd be asking for Perez, Sierra and Ryan Helsley for Avi and Swarzak. Ha... well I guess it's good to aim high.
