fathom

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 03:30 AM) Sounds like the Cubs in their two bad games recently....one they managed to win, though. Brewers and Cards have disgraceful pens

Brewers bullpen just blew a 7 run lead vs Phils

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 03:25 AM) Has Moncada swung at a single pitch outside the strike zone in his three games? Crazy that he strikes out so much even though he never chases. Thought maybe one pitch against Maeda that was barely low.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 02:21 AM) I wonder if Renteria would have had the Big Hurt bunt during his MVP years. Yeah right, he wouldn't be a manager for a team with an MVP candidate

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 02:20 AM) Late 2007 may be worse Wow their stats were ugly but Jenks still existed

Moose must have done his Pilates for his contract year

This might be the worst bullpen in Sox history once Swarzak is traded

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 03:15 AM) Surprised there was no steal attempt Nope, only way to advance on bases is via the bunt

QUOTE (Quin @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 02:14 AM) Rex Hudler on Moncada: "He's like the Royals' Raul Mondesi" He's high....again

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 02:14 AM) Already getting respect from umps on those close calls. 1/9, two walks, triple, no K's. Couple really nice swings against LAD with no positive results. And at least Melky can be easily traded now, if there's any benefit of tonight. Um he got screwed by ump that AB

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 03:12 AM) GREAT at bat by Moncada. Can't believe he didn't fall for the quick pitch changeup

What an eye. Couldn't be more impressed

How have the Brewers not upgraded their pen yet

I legit feel bad for fellow Sox fans that want them to win this year

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 02:51 AM) Melky 4-4. Easily could have had a cycle

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 02:50 AM) The bunting with Yoan was a bad decision. Your six hitter is up with two men on and you're going to have him bunt? I understand implementing a system, a style but that was just a bad move. It helps Yoan in his development to get opportunities to swing with men on, not bunt. But why is that the system? That's ridiculous in the AL in our park

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 01:46 AM) 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? Fake news, he struck out in his 3rd AB after I posted

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 02:46 AM) What did Hawk say about two bunt attempts? I am stuck with KC feed. He said Yoan has a good baseball face. The last two games have been some of Hawk's worst

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 01:44 AM) You want a team concept, have Moncada hit the ball to the right side. You could tell after the first pitch his bunting acumen is about as good as Paulies time from home to first. Team concept is putting players in positions to succeed. Agreed completely

Haha 3 true outcome!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 01:39 AM) Renteria is trying to inculcate a team concept, right or wrong. Similarly, there was a lengthy debate on the Score today saying not even Lopez should come up this year to be around a losing atmosphere...so two sides to every coin. Personally, I believe Lopez, Giolito and Fulmer would all benefit from being around Cooper. I also believe they (the young starters) SHOULD have strong enough constitutions to weather the bullpen blowing most of the leads they do get. So sick of the team concept excuse. He pulled same crap with the Cubs. He needs to go coach girls high school softball

Hahaha

Giants won today

Haha

Sweet good thing he played for one run. With Swarzak out tonight, you probably want more than a 3 run cushion
