QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 06:38 PM) As a 22 year old, Carlton Fisk hit .229 with a .763 OPS in AA. 2 years later he was ROY hitting .293 with a .909 OPS. Good stuff thanks

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 06:16 PM) For those with the ability to see into the future with such clarity, can I get the winning powerball numbers for the next drawing? Say he does hit around .210 this year. Who is the last Major Leaguer to hit that poorly in their first year of pro ball out of college and turn into a productive hitter? Actual question and not a statement.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) I still think Quintana has been screwed by the unannounced raising of the strike zone (low strikes getting called less frequently) that has caused him to experiment with other areas (high and inside). He seems to have corrected this by including the changeup more low? Think it was the 4th last night where I was sure he was going to give up a big hit because West refused to call anything low for him.

QUOTE (aryzner @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 05:22 PM) Not saying Eaton is/was a great teammate (thinking of the whole Drake LaRoche thing) but wasn't Montero one of the most vocal guys from the Dbacks bashing Eaton when he was sent to the Sox? Yes

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 04:54 PM) If he were hitting .330 and 15HR, I would not be complaining. Been saying that all year, rather he show he can project to be a big league hitter and core piece going forward. If the worst case scenario was that he was a slugging DH, that's better than what we are seeing at this moment.

Wow is Montero a horrible teammate

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 03:37 AM) Yay? Sure why not

Wow congrats to Abreu. Some good at bats late and who knows, maybe it makes Yankees want DRob

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 04:29 AM) This Hanson guy isn't very good IMO. Probably isn't but he's been pretty darn good for the Sox

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 03:23 AM) Anderson needs to get on base here, not try to jack a HR. The question is ... can he get on base here? Ha yeah right

Impressive way to possibly lose

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 02:47 AM) Didn't the defense let him down in his last outing? I'm not too concerned. Two cheap infield hits, two hard hit balls

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 03:45 AM) Swihart is worthless at this point Oh I know but Sox have tried to get him for years. I just want to see people blame KW

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 03:40 AM) He was so hot before the A's series. Now he's something like 1 for 18 or so. Poor Avi. Back to lousiness. Maybe he let the two-error inning turn him back into the old Avi. Once that idiot Ozzie took credit for his improvement, his season has gone to hell.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 03:38 AM) what a bum...release him... his ERA went up half a run...peripherals still look great, scouts aren't going to look at one bad outing and cap his value. No but that's now two bad outings in a row for a guy with no track record. Still wish they could trade DRob soon and see what Kahnle can do as closer.

Kahnle velocity down tonight. Nice job of hurting his trade value, crap

Vintage Q

So Kahnle is the pitching version of Avi, isn't he

Nice music Kahnle

I'm not sure Anderson has ever seen a slider in his life

Love the hook by Renteria here

Great job by Q

Charlotte is such a mess. Wouldn't mind seeing Moncada promoted soon

QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 01:38 AM) I truly get the concern for his ability to hit but his defense has made a huge stride very few are questioning if he'll be able to maintain behind the dish and that is massive, If he works that hard on his defense i can only imagine how much dedication he is going to put in an area of the game that has come easy to him for most of his college career. I've yet to see any non-Sox scouts say they think he's going to stick at catcher. I do agree with you he's made huge strides and the lack of exposure is probably causing national writers to not mention the improvements

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 01:00 AM) I don't think the scout at the game means much. There really doesn't seem to be a guy on Boston's roster that would be a good match for a trade. The White Sox would most likely get a minor leaguer. Just do Frazier for Swihart and move on
