Nice scoop by Abreu there.

Sox pitching is really struggling of late. Gonzalez doesn't seem to have much on his pitches.

Great post which backs up the eye test. His swing is way less fluid than last year and much more of an uppercut. I wonder if he developed some bad habits in ST when he was seeing the ball go over the fence a lot

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 16, 2017 -> 11:28 PM) Have read some really good things about Kieboom, mostly about his bat which I like alot. He's plenty good enough to headline a Robertson trade, IMHO. Saw on a fangraphs chat that a scout compared him to Tulo

QUOTE (hi8is @ May 17, 2017 -> 07:37 AM) Meh. I'll just respectfully disagree and leave it at that. ERA up to 3.21 after his good start. He definitely looks better this year, but he's one more bad outing away from having his ERA really balloon up.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2017 -> 06:31 AM) That year we signed Cabrera, Robertson, LaRoche, Bonifacio, Geo Soto, Beckham...NOT GOOD. Not to mention JB Shuck. Must be one of the worst free agent classes (at least 5 players) in recent MLB history. And there was the Samardzija disaster that year. Hahn is quite lucky JR is so loyal

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 17, 2017 -> 07:17 AM) I would like to reiterate what I said earlier that Melky can not get out of here fast enough. He's in contention for fWAR triple crown this year. 12th worst base runner, 10th worst hitter and easily worst defensive rating. Sounds like a #3 hitter to me

QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2017 -> 07:15 AM) He was fine in his first inning of work, that also wasn't a save situation. He got beat in his second inning, which usually never goes well for a closer, and again, nothing was hit hard. Give it a rest. He hung pitches badly to Valbuena and Marte in his first inning

QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2017 -> 06:10 AM) What ball was hit hard that inning? None but he didn't look good at all tonight. Couldn't put hitters away with two strikes. It's not a crushing performance for him but it was definitely as bad as he's looked.

Hopefully Nationals scouts are sleeping

Haha fitting end. Horrible defensive effort.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2017 -> 06:07 AM) What happened? It said both of those balls went to Leury Garcia. Cabrera just played them tentatively? Melky fell on a routine pop up

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 17, 2017 -> 06:05 AM) lmao Melky Worst player in baseball this year. Good thing he's batting 3rd

Melky is a freaking disgrace

Looks like last year where all the damage comes on fastballs vs Robertson

QUOTE (flavum @ May 17, 2017 -> 05:57 AM) Nice play! What an ugly, exciting game

Catch the ball omar. He ducked on the pitch

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 17, 2017 -> 06:50 AM) Timmy has got to start running out of the box. Way to take advantage of the mistake though. That might be his first career homer on a curve/slider

QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2017 -> 05:49 AM) Great to see from TA. Especially with what's gone on with him of late

Anderson!!! Hell yes

Sox infield positioning has been superb this year

Having Anderson bunt was the right call. All the crap after that with the bunt was ridiculous

Not enough juice on that one

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 17, 2017 -> 06:22 AM) sorry but that was mickey mouse HS crap....all of it. Looked like college softball

Hawk blaming Saladino?
