Taylor has been pretty great ever since coming to the Sox. Also, it's amazing how Davidson and Hawkins have gone absolutely quiet with the long ball.

Not even close

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 11:19 PM) Soxtalk said like 36-6 no to that deal. Santiago ERA is now 1.4 points better than Danks

It will be interesting to see if he gets to 40 homers this year.

Hawkins fading down the stretch, as he's really struggling hitting the ball out of the park of late.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) Didn't he only play 60 something game last year due to injury and the Cuban league is only 90 games. Has played in over 100 this year plus spring training, hopefully a day off or two will help plus dhing him more Hawk was saying he actually hopes they bench him during the Giants series so he gets 4 days off.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:51 PM) Oh yes, let's punish him by playing Leury. Sounds great to me. Actually it sounds like I'm the one being punished. Let's be honest, benching someone on this team for terrible play is a hollow gesture that means nothing, especially when punishing a player who factors nothing into next years team. For me, it more goes back to how he never once got benched for a dumb decision. The only one I recall the last two years was Rios. I'm not a huge proponent of benching someone if it's just a freak happening, but when it happens as frequently as it has with De Aza, something should be done.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:50 PM) Abreu is swinging at 100% of pitches and missing 100% of pitches. Looks gassed. I never would have thought he'd go this long without a homer after the first few months of the season.

Abreu is flying open on the fastball.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) Possible De Azaing A stretch of just horrific baseball by De Aza. Of course, he'll continue to get at bats and never suffer any consequences for his dumbass decisions.

.412 OPS since the ASB for Beckham with no homers

Hawk saying he loved the 3-0 green light last night is funny. Does he not remember that Beckham hit a weak grounder that the SS botched?

Beckham's mechanics at the plate are worse now than they've been all year. He's very upright, and doesn't seem to be getting his legs into his swing at all.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:31 PM) OK that is just bizarre. I love the proactive managing there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:24 PM) So you'd still watch when you believe "some guys" have quit? That is pretty awful honestly. If I thought that, I sure wouldn't waste my time. I especially wouldn't waste time complaining about it, while watching it. I watch to see the performance of the core guys. I have found myself changing the channel during Sox games for the first time all season this past week.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:23 PM) I'd make that deal in a second if they the Angels paid the salary. +100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) Do you honestly believe this team is finally going to stop giving Beckham at bats? I do believe it's possible, and if changes happened, I could see it after the road trip ends.

This offense has made scoring seem so difficult the last 6 games. It's led to some of the most boring games of the year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) God I hope not. I agree, but with Eaton out and Beckham just wasting at bats, I've seen crazier things.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 08:59 PM) There are an awful lot of guys on this team that are impossible to like. Yep, but Danks is only one who will likely be back next year. I wonder if we see Micah Johnson up soon to lead off?

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:52 PM) I agree trade him matt Davidson cant be worse them him. Davidson has been a complete flop this year. He's done nothing to get a starting spot handed to him.

Danks isn't even giving the team a chance of late. Also, Conor has played terrible defense for about a month now.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 07:54 PM) 100 pitches thru 5 for Owens. Good to see that Charlotte line up have success against one of the top prospects in the game. Except Davidson

Nice win! Sox dominate on Saturdays

Nice Conor!
