QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) Avi was hit in the left wrist Hopefully it was just precautionary. It would really suck if he had to miss the year if he broke his wrist. With how this season has been for us with injuries.. let's just say I'm holding my breath.

Oh well. Hell of a run.

Alright Abreu. Your the reason I'm still giving a damn about this game. Extend your streak.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 09:00 PM) He really isn't as terrible as some of you guys seem to imply. I don't think anyone here is implying or has even said that. In fact, I agree with fathom that he's been very surprising considering he went straight from A ball. He is a bit over whelmed still but it is expected.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 08:55 PM) Oh c'mon now, you've seen those opinions Hell, half of them think Reed was traded for Eaton. I'm including some people on this board as well as Hawk and Steve.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 08:53 PM) Looking like another loss for Nieto's record Part of it is coincidence. Part of it is a kid who should be in AA, still learning the league, pitch selection etc.

Well I hope Abreu gets a good pitch to hit in the 9th.

There's Daniel Webb!

Damn. I still can't be mad at Eaton there. He's fun to watch and is an XBH machine.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) No telling how good this team could be with some decent arms in the pen. The Jones, Lindstrom injuries really hurt them. I still think Jones would've been great as our closer.

That was April - May like defense from De Aza there. On the bright side, Abreu is probably going to get one more shot to extend his streak.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 08:24 PM) Belisario looking like he did in the last Carroll/Pino match-up In before Feeky telling JoshPR about his unlucky FIP.

And that walk probably ends Abreu's hit streak.

I f***ing love Adam Eaton. Hahn's best trade to date.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 07:40 PM) In 2 of Abreu's 3 Ab's he's taken 1st pitch fastballs right there. I'm sure even José was shocked. He's getting better at reading what a pitcher is gonna do with him. I dont think he was expecting them to go after him.

A damn shame Nieto can't see time in the minors. I honestly think he could be on the cusp at AAA at this point (as well as our best catching prospect).

After starting off 0-2, Avisail has had 3 consecutive hits stemming from yesterday. Edit: now another hit. He is 2-3 so far.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 06:31 PM) Gutsy to throw him a 3-2 breaking ball there. Good choice by the Twins. Honestly I am shocked they were aggressive and pitched to him with first base open. I was going to say Gardy has lost his marbles haha.

That ends Abreu's consecutive reached base streak.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 12:17 PM) With 6 scoreless innings tonight, Carroll could have an ERA under 4. Well that's not happening.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:13 AM) Hahn was on 670 this morning and said that it was for a long targeted player. He also said that it "could" be revisited in the offseason. I'm going with Yasmani Grandal. He was in the lineup and warming up and then was scratched for no reason. Sox have been interested in the past. I think this might be why.. well.. In his own words.

Martinez is an interesting prospect to keep an eye on. I know Jeff (Ozzie Ball) mentioned him in another thread as well. Plus fastball, good curve.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) Loney is a great Defensive 1B. I brought up Nick Johnson and somebody else brought up Casey Kotchman. That was me as his floor. Obviously, we're not hoping for that. :-)

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:12 PM) Jorge Soler having a monster year. If he stays healthy, he might end up being a top 20 prospect. He's the only other prospect who I'd kill to have in our farm not named Kris Bryant in the Cubs system. I'm very high on that kid. Outstanding potential.
