QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 22, 2015 -> 04:11 AM) Bunting ahead of Avi makes it even worse. Or maybe LaRoche will make contact, lol. Hawk just hates this team, it's funny to listen to.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 22, 2015 -> 04:07 AM) I don't care who is on the mound, I don't think I can justify Melky Cabrera sacrifice bunting. Avi chases everything. Awful AB by him

Great base running by Saladino. Hawk with a poor call on that.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 22, 2015 -> 02:23 AM) Last week on Ballers the "You rather sell me a car, sugar tits?" had me dying. Also it's awesome that Rashard Mendenhall is a staff writer for the show. And Ricky is played by Denzel's son

Get him the hell out of the outfield. Same person that scouted him probably scouted Davidson

Sure looked safe

Miguel Sano looks like a beast to deal with for the Sox for years to come

He's almost under .200 now in his third year in AAA. Someone in the organization flat out blew their scouting of him. Davidson is the hitting equivalent of Nestor Molina.

Cubs in good shape to sweep their 3rd four game series in the last four weeks. The Braves lineup is terrible.

I watched the Anderson and Montas videos. You guys did incredible with these. I know I mentioned it in another thread, but Anderson had a significant number of swings and misses (especially on breaking pitches in the dirt). As for Montas, he looks bigger than usual.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) Of course they could. Would I like any starters traded ? No. How about prospects ? No let them develop . Who then who might bring someone decent back ? Robertson perhaps much like they did with Addison Reed only Robertson is not as cheap by a long shot. Not sure what the return might bring. Would be a bold thing to do but Sox might take a calculated risk that Jones can stay healthy and pitch effectively. Montas and Danish absolutely should be trade bait if other teams significantly value them.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) Mind you, I realize that could quite possibly turn around and bite you in the ass because Carlos may wind up being another Sale out there. Unless it's for Nolan Arenado, no way should they trade Rodon.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 05:34 PM) Ball hit down the line and called foul. Not reviewable? What? Does the writer just not know what he's talking about? I believe you can challenge fair/foul if ball lands in the air past the bag. Anything before the first/third base is umpire's judgment

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) Wait until Kenny leaves and Buddy Bell gets promoted to assistant GM. +1

Watched the great highlights that futuresox posted to youtube of Tim Anderson. Great stuff! Just have to hope he learns to lay off the breaking pitch in the dirt, as there were a lot of swings and misses in the 5 minute video. With that said, it would be great for the Sox to give him the full year in AAA next season.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 02:37 PM) Hopefully the LaRoche thing ends up being a big deal. That might be more important for 2016 then any of the others. As much as I hate watching him play and as much as I wish it was Thompson getting his at bats, I totally agree with you that a strong finish to LaRoche's season would be big.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 05:11 AM) Perhaps for the team but not for your blood pressure, Fathom. If I was going to root for them to lose I think I would have to simply avoid watching. At this point, by no means am I mad if they win. That's usually only last two weeks if they are eliminated

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 04:55 AM) Sorry all those rooting for the higher draft pick. If you want the Sox to suck the rest of the way why is it I see so many comments about how bad the Sox suck at everything, Wouldn't you be cheering when the Sox screw up ? Rather see them play good and barely lose than play awful and win. Monday was the perfect loss

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 03:22 AM) At least Saladino even with flaws is a better player/hitter/defender than Beckham. Beckham doesn't score from first on that double

How did the ump miss that? Incredibly obvious

Nice review here by Ventura

Wow that was pretty by Soto

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 04:12 AM) Never the fault of Sox management ever Hawk looks stupid with this s*** every losing series The whole organization is a joke right now

Avi overpowered once again on inside fastball. Insane amount of double plays this series by the Sox.

Hawk insinuating the umpires are trying to help the Angels
