Avi! Such a great offspeed hitter.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:49 AM) My god if we lose this game by one run. Blown call at home stings

Time to play America's Favorite Game...Avi clutch weak flare to the outfield

Wow, rocket by LaRoche! Heck of a swing. Kinda surprised Abreu wasn't close to scoring.

Let Beckham hit here

Nice run and hit. Wouldn't mind seeing that more with Melky up.

Great turn by Sanchez

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:23 AM) Hes on the Cubs I don't think they'll trade him during the season, now that they're competitive. Most likely, he'll be gone this offseason. If I had to guess, Alexei/Tulo to Padres/Mets makes the most sense.

Ha, of course. Looks like he was out

Beautiful throw? It hopped 6 times

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:13 AM) If the season spirals out of control at some point, then I think you start Johnson at 2B, Sanchez at SS, Smith at C, and give Thompson some time in the OF. Anderson is not close to being ready IMO. Unless he develops some patience in the second half of this season, he'll need to start next year at AAA. I actually agree about trying to get Sanchez and Johnson as many at bats as you can if things get real bad.

Not one of Avi's better games. Offense just dead since Conor's RBI single.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:03 AM) I think I'm one of the few that would like to see the younger guys get some shots this year. I think its time to build while we still have Abreu, Sale and Q under control. Avasail coming around is a bonus as well. I'd like to deal Alexei as part of this. You think Anderson is the SS of the future? I know you said you liked him the other day.

Angel Hernandez really sucks

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:54 AM) Do you not think his stuff is ready? Slider is all world. Fastball is above average but he needs to be able to throw it for strikes. I don't think he will ever be a big changeup thrower.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:50 AM) You seemed fine with it when he was cruising through 3. He hung one slider and paid the price. I have been saying they rushed him since they called him up. Just didn't make sense from a development stage. I was happy they only kept him in the bullpen for a few weeks.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 16, 2015 -> 03:49 AM) He had two starts and two walks in each. There was an exhibition game where they said he couldn't throw strikes.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:47 AM) 6IP last game. That homer f***ed him up tonight, he was cruising until then. He needs to understand his stuff is good enough to challenge teams He got away from his slider, and then started hanging it

I will never understand why they rushed him this year. He was struggling to throw strikes in a few of his Charlotte outings (one exhibition included)

This command has no prayer of consistently working at this level

His command is atrocious...not going to give him much of a chance to go longer than 5 innings most games.

Hahn just dominating now

0-5, 2K for Anderson His average looks decent, but it's been a disappointing offensive season for him.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 16, 2015 -> 03:35 AM) Only saw it once but should Avi have left that get to the wall? Probably not, but I doubt it would have mattered. He's so incredibly slow out there.

Can't walk so many guys at this level. He really needs to be in AAA to work on his command.
