Gotta question Francona there taking the bat out of Lindor's hands that inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 08:19 PM) 2 walks And one of those 3 total walks was intentional.

2 walks now for Moncada.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 07:20 PM) Moncada with a walk, stolen base. And a throwing error. That actually excites me more than him getting a hit (well, minus a homer). I was hoping the sox brass didn't take away what made him so intriguing as a prospect which is his ability to draw walks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 04:28 PM) We wouldn't have gotten Moncada for Q either. Nope. Just Benetendi at the time from reports.

Giolito's control went to s*** too. 3 hit batters. Final line: 4.1 IP 6 H 5 R 4 ER 2 BB 4 SO Dunning's night is done. Final line: 6 IP 4 H 1 R 1 ER 0 BB 8 SO

It's fun seeing the Knights average like 7 runs a game so far.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 06:21 PM) He's not a major leaguer with his bad spin rate at that velocity I don't mind the velocity loss if he has sick movement, ala Webb in his heyday with the Diamondbacks. But not both.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 06:03 PM) Oppo HR for Tucker He, like Moncada, has started off very well.

Twins first loss of the season!

https://youtu.be/1bj3LlepEnM Powerful stuff regarding Bickell and his fight with MS. At the end, I believe he's hinting at retiring after Sunday's game hence the emotional breakdown of not telling his teammates yet.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:50 PM) He need regular playing time in the field and he isn't getting that with the Sox until Frazier or Melky is traded. Yea I'd rather him light up AAA first. The kid still needs to develop.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:42 PM) Got to be impressed with the Twinkies OF defense I hope Hahn is taking notes. Bats on prospects is nice but give me the glove too.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:20 PM) Moncada has another single...think that's 7 He needs to start turning those into XBH. Can't complain about the start though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:06 PM) Shame on Hahn for putting Avi back in the outfield I'm still baffled why they didn't make him a LF. Even the defensive metrics, albeit small sample, favor him much better there.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 07:42 PM) Is that in stadium radar too? Thought that was just statcast. Pretty sure you are right.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) Another single and then took second on the throw. Might be the greatest singles hitter up the middle of all time. Hopefully we see those singles turn into XBH soon. But can't complain about the start.

Twins didn't win their 3rd game last year until April 17th.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 06:33 PM) There's more people at this game than there were at the Sox game this afternoon lol I wouldn't be shocked if the minor league game threads here are longer than the GTs on Pale Hose.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 04:12 PM) Still, it's good to see Davidson have a good first game. Give him a little confidence, and not see .000 on the scoreboard for 2-3 games. I'm probably one of Davidson's biggest fan on this site so I'm smiling ear to ear right now.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 10:17 PM) I think the sox should draft Jake Burger if he's still available. I think he's one of the best in this year's draft. Big fan of Burger, but I agree with Y2Jimmy, he would be a bit high at #11. Would love him afterwards though. Kid screams steal ala Alec Hansen.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 11:08 AM) Actually, going to change my pitcher to Blake Hickman, just because I like him and want him to get his career back on track. QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 01:20 PM) Pitcher: Bernardo Flores Hitter: Carlos Perez Out of all the names mentioned in this thread, these are the best ones. But its because these guys aren't already top 15 sox prospects who haven't had good years in the past.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 12:41 AM) Went on a first date tonight with a girl that I met online. She was really cool, we got along really well, talked for 3 hours at the restaurant, but I feel so shallow because what I didn't notice when she sat down, I noticed when we got up to leave. This girl has massive hips/ass. Like her upper body is maybe a little bigger than average, nothing that I am not ok with, but man, it honestly looks like she walks different because her hips are so big. I feel so bad. I'm going to keep talking to her and see her again to see if I can get over it, but I am already finding myself thinking of excuses to let her down for reasons other than that, obviously. ... the f***?! Pass her this way son.
