Stupid play by Samardzija costs Sox a double play.

Not sure Schwarber wouldn't be the second best hitter on the Sox

Good lord, Schwarber looks incredible. Opposite field homer on 95 mph fastball

Carroll called up; Noesi DFA'd
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) Coop was boasting of the big plans he had for Noesi at Soxfest. A lot of people bought the hype. He does have talent, maybe bouncing around for a few more years may make something between his ears work a little better. The Sox didn't act like they had a lot of confidence in him this year. Extremely quick hooks, as well as skipping quite a few starts early on. I don't blame them, as he's just not a good fit for the Cell. He probably would fare much better pitching somewhere like San Fran

2015 MLB Catch-All Thread
The Cardinals have a great record, but oh man, their offense has completely faded the last month or so. They desperately need to acquire another bat before the Pirates/Cubs catch up to them.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 04:14 AM) Boston got Balttimore's #3 prospect for Miller at trading deadline last July and he was only a 2 month rental. If the Sox eat some of his salary, I think they can get a good piece for Robertson.

Gallo homered off of Kershaw. The new wave of Bryant, Gallo and Correa look incredible.

My view on managers in general- RV in particular
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 04:08 AM) Hate to say this but the Sox blew it last offseason by being loyal. When Maddon was available, it was time to put Robin in the TV booth with Hawk and Stoney; three man booth. Or 3 man radio booth. Or give him some job til his contract runs out. Loyalty is great, but when a star manager becomes available and your manager is Robin, you have to bid bye bye to Robin. Can't blame Hahn for trying with all the trades, but now it's time to trade the guys he acquired. Should be do-able. He left Tampa knowing he wanted to go to NL and manage the Cubs. Lots to be frustrated about this year, but the Sox would have never been an option.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 03:46 AM) The last 3 words of your post are perfect. "Start over again." That's all that needs to be said. Problem is if you really want to rebuild, then Sale/Quintana/Abreu need to be traded. By the time a rebuilding team would be ready to compete, their contracts will almost be up. There are too many crappy players in the organization to get enough prospects to make a rebuild work well

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 03:41 AM) I'm all for trading him, as he's worthless on this s*** team, but he won't get much. He'll get as much as Papelbon probably, which is a B level prospect and maybe another intriguing arm thrown in. His huge salary kills his value. Blue Jays or Nationals might be best fit. Can we trade him for Trea Turner?

Well, at least it hurts the Cubs. Hopefully Marte is ok. Time for massive changes for the Sox, what a failure by everyone in this organization,

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 03:16 AM) Why is he still here is the question. Why is Flowers still here? Why is Bonifacio? These guys make Bill James cry before he goes to sleep Bonifacio should be DFA and Thompson called up

Why in the hell is Sanchez being allowed to bat in that situation? I think I would rather see Samardzija

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 03:02 AM) He's not "awful." I'll list some awful pitchers. He's not one of them. Fathom I'm surprised you don't respect the guy for battling out there. His stuff is NOT trash. A lot of pitchers are trash. His stuff on occasion is better than average. He competes like HELL out there. I'll say it again. He's the LEAST of this team's problems and if everybody competed as he did the Sox might be in second place instead of the embarrassment of the AL. He's one of the worst starters in baseball the last 3 years. He's the textbook definition of an awful starter

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 01:54 AM) Say what you want about Danks ... He's the LEAST of this lousy team's problems. I for one respect the guy coming back from injury. He's an OK pitcher in my book. The eye test tells me he competes. I don't give a s*** what stats say about Danks. He's awful, nothing more needs to be said
