This base running is absolutely ridiculous. Is McEwing just a mute over there?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:26 AM) I hate the fact just because of his crap contract fans have to watch this guy pitch every 5th day. No replacements ready...even the replacement for Noesi has huge question marks.

Sox 27th in ERA with an ERA over 4.50 now. Seems like the first inning has contributed to a lot of those issues.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:23 AM) So sick of Danks............Oak sucks against LHP but not Danks. Weak fastball up and away to Butler seems like the perfect pitch for him to drive. It's ok, Sox aren't familiar with him.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:22 AM) Just pains me to see what Danks is now. Was a big fan of his since the DVD trio in the minors. Just counting down the starts until his contract is expired. Sadly, that extension has really killed the franchise the past few years.

And Danks has the Sox down 2-0 after 4 batters. This pitching staff kinda sucks

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:18 AM) I have no stats to back it up but I feel like he swings at the first pitch an awful lot and doesn't have a lot of success with it 2-10 on the season

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:16 AM) Should have let Danks get that No chance, placed perfectly. Danks is naturally slow off the mound to the right side due to where he ends up on his pitches.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:11 AM) Melky has been a disappointment to me Needs to start getting more extra base hits and hitting LHP. 2 doubles and a HR on the season is troubling.

It will be interesting to see if either the Cubs or Cardinals cash in their chips to get Hamels. Both have a glaring hole in their rotation.

Tigers won first two in St. Louis, as Cardinals had 3 horrible base running plays. Miggy has found his power stroke again for the Tigers.

And the Cardinals are on their way to losing another game to Detroit because Heyward forgot how to run the bases.

Typical atrocious defense by a Cubs opponent, and the Pirates are something like 1-15 with RISP. The funny thing is that Maddon has made some horrible managerial decisions the last few days, but has been bailed out.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 16, 2015 -> 06:46 AM) If his hand hit it he would have been out. He just had a bad play all around. Well, if he hit the ball and they didn't call it, Hawk might have finally attacked an ump

3 very clutch game-winning hits for Avi on the season

If there was ever a place where a rundown would get botched, it's in Oakland. Instead, Eaton/Alexei/Abreu handled that perfectly

Easy victory!

Don't throw that slider inside here

Just hope it's nothing serious for Robertson.

Nice recovery!

Wow, Robertson not available

Bad throw and he's still out. Awful slide

Hawk says Scribner did a good job....ya, minus the whole giving up the go-ahead hit

Eaton BARELY stopped that ball in the OF. Almost some really bad luck for him there.

Whew...Ventura lives to see another day
