fathom

Avi swinging at exactly what the opponent wants him to chase

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 18, 2016 -> 01:35 AM) They had to heat him up high and in. Instead that ball was right down the middle. Seems like they keep getting burned on fastballs up in the count

Pitch selection lately has made very little sense

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 18, 2016 -> 01:32 AM) the matrix? Come on jason He's pretty awful

More two out RBI. Defense and lack of clutch pitching killing them right now.

Aced him

Missing low with tons of 93 mph fastballs

Played that as bad as possible

Oh yay more bad defense

Amazed at how few people are at the game

Rodon at 98

Reds pitching is such a joke

It would be for pitching in my opinion. Someone like Jimmy Nelson is my guess.

Daryl Van SchouwenVerified account ‏@CST_soxvan Todd Frazier apparently the weather to some extent. Not in lineup tonight.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) Didn't really think about it until a few people brought it up on Twitter but have to wonder if this is a scheduled day off for Frazier or if something is up. Seems odd coming off a day off & a lefty who has struggled. Daryl Van Schouwen saying Robin likes to give players a day off following an off day http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/frazier...tand-vs-astros/

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 17, 2016 -> 09:09 PM) its called "placeholder until better option makes itself apparent" 25th man on the roster. No idea why everyone gets all worked up over him Might as well have someone that can either run (L. Garcia) or someone that can spell Abreu at 1b.

I'm really confused as to what the purpose of Sands is on this roster.

I'm all on board with taking Collins #10

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ May 17, 2016 -> 06:19 PM) He looked pretty cooked the last couple of years. As a flier no big deal but I wouldn't expect much to come of it for the Cubs. Rafael Soriano 2.0

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 16, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) they certainly were not, they were laughing about emptying out the farm for someone like Trout and saying it wont happen pretty much for that reason Follow Nick Shepkowski ‏@Shep670 ****IF**** Cubs/Angels worked out deal for Trout what is too much to give up for Cubs? Discussing on @SpiegelAndGoff From the parts I heard, they were talking about Schwarber, Baez, Torres, Contreras and Underwood possibly being enough with Jeff Passan.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 16, 2016 -> 08:59 PM) Even if that daily dish article wasn't serious, some of those proposals they had from other teams were so much better than the ones they had for the Cubs. Why the hell would the Angels want an injured DH, a guy hitting under .200, and a decent infielder that might K too much when they can get Cespedes and Matt Harvey from the Mets or 3 of Boston's best young players in Bogaerts, Bradley, and Betts? I also laugh at the idea that Adam Eaton, Carlos Rodon, and all of our best prospects is somehow the worst deal they can come up with. Angels wouldn't be looking for guys like Cespedes/Harvey. They'd want cost-controlled guys like Syndergaard and Conforto. The Red Sox to me easily have the best farm system of any team that would be a match, as they have top young pitching (Espinoza and ERod) as well as stud position players.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ May 16, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) Sources: Tim Lincecum closing in on a deal with the Angels. Giants and White Sox are out. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/732292801556185089 yay, even though it makes no sense for them to get him when they're also trading Trout away

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 16, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) They are making fun of it. Spiegel and Goff were discussing it like the daily dish trade proposal could be legit.

Of course Chicago sports radio today is talking about the Trout to Cubs rumors. Funniest part to me is that some people are taking a fake trade proposal on mlbdailydish as it if's the actual trade in question.

Why in the hell did the Pirates pull Cole?
