QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 02:25 AM) 2 months is probably still ~$5 mil. I'll be honest, I always thought player insurance was only handed out if the player missed the whole year. I've heard otherwise on here though.

FIRE GREG WALKER

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:18 AM) If Peavy's contract is insured...that really helps. If he comes back in May, you're not getting much money back at all then.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:15 AM) There has to be at least 10 NL pitchers with better offensive numbers than Rios. It amazes me how much we're paying him to be so terrible. But just remember, spending 30 million on Pujols (according to KW) is stupid when you can spend 30 million on Rios/Peavy.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:14 AM) not that wide it hasn't. this f***er is slobbering the knob. Rivera gets Maddux/Glavine in their prime type of respect from umps.

Been a strike all game Dunn.

Dunn going to bunt here?

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:04 AM) We won't, but if we actually get a guy or two on in the 9th can you imagine what Gordo vs. Riviera would look like? Gross. Prediction for 9th is: - Dunn pop up to left side - Rios 6-3 - AJP called strike 3, and he freaks out even though it's been a strike all night

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:02 AM) Some people really disliked Beckham's mechanics before he was with the Sox because of his large leg kick/timing mechanism, which potentially could make it hard for him to catch up to heat. And then his great contact rate in the minors and good rookie year made scouts feel like he could get away with it. His swing now is the football drill equivalent of throwing a football from your knees. I'm a big leg kick fan though, to be honest.

Way to pull that sinker Paulie.

Need PK to line one to the right field stands.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:55 AM) If Pierre starts tomorrow vs. Sabathia...I really don't know what to say. Of course he will. Lillibridge will probably play 2nd, and Castro will catch.

Buehrle starting the inning after 98 pitches. Nice effort by him, just that one pitch did him in.

At this point, Beckham's another failed Sox top hitting prospect under Walker.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:50 AM) Before they laid their paws on him... Beckhams swing mechanics Yet some people still think Walker's doing a good job. Terrible coach, but hey...at least players like to share a beer with him.

Juan seems to be striking out a hell of a lot more than usual this year.

I hope we never see this lineup again.

Holy hell, he wasn't even close to ready to hit that. What a terrible hitter right now.

Joba and Rivera in the pen for them tonight?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:39 AM) This elevation in velocity isn't "moving to the Yankees" and you know it. He took a year and a half off and finally let his arm heal more. No, I don't know it. I've seen enough of Rothschild to know how he coaches his pitchers. It's not always the best, as some see their arms fall off.

How in the hell do we play in the AL and have 6-7-8-9-1 in the order with 2 combined homers after 24 games?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:37 AM) What the hell? Colon can still throw 96? Where the f*** was this when he pitched with us? Cooper stresses command over velocity. For some it works (Thornton), others it doesn't (Masset)

It's like our players don't even read a scouting report. And Rios, please go back on whatever weight routine you used to be on. This warning track power stuff is tiring.

Ugh, he has no power at all. Too bad Konerko didn't get to 3rd on the single, as he would have made it without a throw.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:31 AM) DJ and Farmer said he didn't even attempt to go after it. Guy is a role model for all young SS out there. Cause it was a hit up the middle. And yes, he actually is a role model if you're looking to model your game after a player. His hustle is the only part of his game that's not overrated.
