What a terrible freaking call. Probably dumbest rule in baseball. With that said, another stupid defensive play

Anthony Rizzo approves of that slide

Haha what a weird inning

3 defensive blunders already. Between yesterday and today, the defense has made far too many mistakes.

Nice challenge by Texas.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 07:55 PM) That looked out on the replay, why no challenge? Frazier dropped it

Great play by Yolmer. Frazier embarrassing himself at first

Good defense all around on that play

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 06:30 PM) what a "twins" hit by Gomez...still a lapse by Q he should've gotten it and tried to shuttle at least Easy play for Frazier to come get and then tag Gomez

Hansen should be a top 60 level prospect. If he was drafted high last year like he was projected heading into the year, he would be top 20 with ease.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 06:39 PM) I'm with you...he sounds like a DH, but Fathom seems to think his bat is so good that he's still worth it. Not only is he a good hitter, but he's just so likely to be traded to an AL team it makes sense to speculate about him as a strong 3rd piece for Q

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 10:30 PM) Either Hansen does not hold runners well or Zavala has trouble throwing them out. A ton of steals already for the opponent. Can't hold runners on. He's even said he's focusing on the batters.

They run the risk of burning out their effective guys like Romero and Albers while waiting for a closer

Hansen facing a team with boatload of hitting prospects

Wow Timmy...looks so defeated. How about not putting him at leadoff?

At least Ynoa helped get Robert

Haha Smith is channeling his inner-Lew Ford

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 08:43 PM) He looked pretty defeated there. Not sure if that was a strike though, looked inside. 1 for last 23 with 16 k. Rough home stand for the "rebuild" hitters

Davidson having quite the struggle making contact on this home stand

Special defensive effort today...yikes. Wily gets very poor jumps

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 09:12 PM) Someone on the Sox made a bad play and now he is the worst defender to ever put on a uniform. Let's simmer down now To be fair, Anderson leads the majors in errors and Melky has been one of the worst defensive outfielders in baseball since he's been here

Cringe-worthy broadcast moment there about Beltre and Stone. Stick to the game!

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 07:21 PM) The whiffs, the errors, the contract. Joe McEwing has a lot of work to do to keep this guy from becoming Bee Bee Richard. Not worried about the contract with the Sox controlling the options if he busts. What's he's owed for next 6 years isn't crippling at all

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 07:19 PM) who wants to make Sanchez SS, Moncada the 2b and deal Timmy? Or try him in CF where his athleticism plays up

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) Agreed on all of this. It's a shame we can't combine TA's natural ability + athleticism with Yolmer's instincts and grace. If that were possibly, well, defensively at least you'd have peak Alexei Ramirez. Hopefully he's able to reach something close to that over the next few years. All the range in the world does nothing if you can't field the ball cleanly and/or make accurate throws
