fathom

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 09:22 PM) Who's watching the game? The number 2 hitter on Las Vegas is fantastic

So Danks and Sanchez get to hit, but not ADA? Ha

Avi made it real close at first

Thought that was long gone

QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 07:35 PM) I think we will acquire a left handed bat to platoon with Flowers and Nieto will start the year at AAA to get some at bats and work on defense. No problem with Flowers as the platoon guy with a solid lefty hitter. I don't think Flowers should be the starter next year.

Abreu with some good at bats

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 07:30 PM) Inconsistent playing time will do that Yeah, seems he has lost his concept of the strike zone. It will be interesting to see if they send him to AAA next year or keep him as the back up

Nieto struggling of late

If the scores hold up, Sox will only be 2.5 up on Cubs. With Edwin out of their rotation, things could get interesting.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 08:09 PM) Avi needs to stay back on those breaking balls and take them the other way. Which he typically does, he's just out of sorts in his last 6 at bats. At least he gets to face a lefty tomorrow.

Avi looks sluggish. Did last night as well

It's about time to give Dunn's at bats to someone else

ADA with nice base running

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 07:54 PM) How long was his fly out? Routine, 20 feet from track

If this team tried hard enough, they can earn that 6th pick

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 06:11 PM) Garcia can't get his hands in on a belt high fastball and then rolls over the next pitch for his 6-3 special. A lot to like about Avi, but I am nowhere near as big on him as most of the people around here. I have always thought of him as a strong complimentary player, but not likely all star caliber. If he is your 5th best hitter in you lineup, you should have a good offense.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 06:54 PM) lol Missed it, what happened on error

Avi looks way more comfortable against LHP than RHP

I would love to see Mitchell get a call-up in a few weeks. It's worth seeing if the changes at the plate are legit. http://cltknightsinsider.blogspot.com/2014...-hit-steak.html

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 03:16 AM) I don't think he needs to be replaced, but when s***ty hitters didn't hit, it used to be blamed on the hitting coach. Why when s***ty pitchers get lit up, isn't it on Cooper? He also never seemed committed to the idea of Hector Santiago being a starter, and he would easily be the 3rd best starter on this team.

Chicago radio on Monday should be full of meatheads calling for Urlacher to return, etc.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 02:06 AM) Special Teams, stop sucking This is unreal

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 01:13 AM) They seemed really intent on not giving Semien time at SS earlier this season but he's gotten a decent amount of time there since Saladino got hurt. I'm not sure what that means for him. It seems like they want him to become a super utility guy. I don't think it's the worst idea, as Gillaspie can't hit LHP and Johnson (assuming he'll be the 2nd baseman of the future) struggles against them as well.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 04:03 AM) He gets a pass until he gets a team that should win. I mentioned it before, according to Soxtalk, the LF sucks, the CF is good but is always hurt, the RF sucks, the 3B might be OK, the SS needs to be traded, the 2B is awful, the 1B is awesome, the C sucks, the DHs and bench need to go away. The bullpen is awful, and at least 40% of the rotation is garbage. Only green sox could manage this team to 130 wins. It's amazing how nearly every pitcher has underachieved this year, yet Cooper receives very little criticism on here. People probably just love his radio interviews.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 02:38 AM) Briggs is so slow anymore. Peanut looked gassed after the 4th play of the game.
