Congrats to Timmy for double digits. Congrats to Shields for his 100th homer given up this year

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 08:28 PM) No doubt. At worst, top 3. Yep think Acuna will be 1, Vladito 2, Eloy 3 and Kopech in the 7-8 range

Something that's good and scary is that if you notice in the Clarkin video, Eloy is nowhere near as muscular as he will likely get

Rodon was great, Yoan was great, Delmonico was great and team still lost. Nearly perfect tank game

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 03:52 AM) I like this Bummer kid For tanking, sure. He's not even close to MLB ready.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 02:47 AM) Do the Sox really want Renteria in charge of this team? Fundamentals are horrible and he is the manager. Just get rid of him. If he wants to live and die with the bunt, then let him expire in the baseball sense of the word. Just think of Renteria as the kindergarten teacher preparing the kids for elementary school. He's here to develop the young players, end of story. When it's time to compete, who knows if the Sox pull a Cubs and bring in the higher profile manager.

This is special. Team is amazing fundamentally

Eloy killed one. 114 exit velocity

Get the impression Hawk hates Anderson. Oh well, not the first guy dominated by Kimbrel

Here comes squeeze

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 02:53 AM) What is the projected K potential for Engel vs Kimbrel? 65 pct? Now here is where you bunt

Awesome at bat

What is the projected K potential for Engel vs Kimbrel? 65 pct?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 02:48 AM) Tip of the cap to Rodon, that was fantastic His sequence on Benintendi with bases loaded was as filthy as you will ever see from a lefty

Rodon pitched like an ace tonight. Yoan has been superb defensively

That 0-1 pitch to Hanley was the worst frame job you will see

Great swing!

Sox Desperately need to find a good framing catcher. Rodon gets so screwed

Rodon has great stuff tonight

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 01:12 AM) Impressive at-bat by Nicky, in that situation, off of a lefty. He was hitting LHP really well the first half of the year in AAA

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 4, 2017 -> 11:52 PM) Anderson playing like he hopes this is the last week of the season. Threatening to go under the dreaded 600 ops line. Has no plan up there, Harrelson mentioned it last night when he should have been trying to move both runners over, continues to pull everything to left side on the ground. Readings numerous articles, he's understandably in a horrible place off the field. You are seeing it impact him on the field as well with his short fuse. He just needs to stay healthy and try to recover mentally during the offseason.

Heard today that Moncada doesn't have a hit on a pitch in the 90s yet. He really has to be more aggressive on pitches down the plate

James Fegan posted a lot of good vids for WSalem yesterday. Also made mention Collins said he was trying to fix the hitch but ditched it during season and will make adjustments in offseason.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 2, 2017 -> 04:31 AM) Leury, Engel, and Yolmer shouldn't have to fight for playing time while Anderson is starting every day. Theoretically Anderson should be getting every start, but it's painfully obvious a change is needed. With the swings he's taking, I will be pleasantly surprised if he hits in Charlotte. His swing is completely broken, as he can't pull anything with any authority. I can't believe they haven't moved him closer to the plate. Typical great coaching of young Sox hitters

Very nice hitting day on the farm. Stunning how all the hitting talent is not in Charlotte or Birm at the moment
