QUOTE (1dog @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 02:17 AM) I am about to give up on Viciedo. Can he not pick up ANY curveball and just not swing? If he throws 3 for a strike, just go sit down. Then there's Flowers. Christ. Sox are awesome at developing hitters.

Flowers is comically bad right now. He is swinging an invisible bat.

Is it the same adjustment Erik Johnson has made back in AAA?

Viciedo not even close. Thankfully he will face a LHP tomorrow.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 02:56 AM) Trade Alexei for what and why? Matters what they think of Semien at SS, but if this team falls back by the deadline, he is far and away their best trade chip. If you can get someone like Glasnow and more, you have to consider it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 02:50 AM) It's almost as good as their infield is bad. Alexei makes way too much sense for them

Sox really struggled with RISP the last two games

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 02:21 AM) Guthrie has nothing tonight. Just can't get the big hit so far. And immediately strikes out 4 in a row

Guthrie has nothing tonight. Just can't get the big hit so far.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 02:08 AM) What the heck was Hahn thinking by not giving us veteran insurance behind Flowers? Especially this year. I know he thought his shoulder was part of the problem(apparently his track record didnt mean anything). But last year was a huge red flag. My guess is that he wasn't planning on contending this year and wanted to give Flowers one more shot.

Flowers is fine as a platoon catcher facing mostly LHP. He has no business facing so many righties.

Doesn't get much worse than that AB

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 02:00 AM) Lol he is so bad. Way too much playing time

Shocking K

Arrieta dominating again tonight. Seems like the hit on both their big trades last year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 01:44 AM) Exactly. Were you expecting him to add 2 mph each year or something? I didn't expect his numbers to regress, especially his batting average against. He's keeping the ball in the park, but he's giving up a lot of hits compared to his career.

Batting practice for KC.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 01:32 AM) Yes it was. There was nothing in his stuff that suggested he was the type of guy that was going to have a sub three ERA or anything. Didn't he add like 2 mph last year

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 01:30 AM) Development? I can't see how anyone would really expect anything more than what we saw out of him last year. To me that was as optimistic as I ever really thought possible for Quintana. He made a big leap from rookie year to last year. It wasn't out of the question to hope for more.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 12:27 AM) That remains to be seen If they don't sign him, then Hahn has no business being the GM. With that said, he will sign.

Q has just been awful since the Gillaspie error in LA. His lack of development this year is disappointing.

The attendance has been bad this year, but is anyone surprised? Last year was a terrible year for the organization, and that resulted in a loss of interest in the team by a portion of the fan base. I actually believe this year has been very good so far in terms of generating some excitement towards the organization. It's nice to see that Abreu and Sale jerseys are on sale at sporting goods stores instead of Konerko and Beckham. The Sox have two superstars to promote to their fans right now, and hopefully they add to that core in the next few years.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 03:02 AM) This will be all you hear the next few days is his first CG. No...they'll talk about the Heat sucking

Wow, gigantic strike zone

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 03:58 AM) If he does not lay off that pitch he will never hit over .270 Fine with me as long as he hits 40 homers
