Crowds after this weekend will be low. Nice to see a catcher throw a guy out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 04:16 PM) No more Notre Dame a-holes! +1

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) As much as I like his offense, it's getting to the point where if Soto is catching, the pitcher is going to do bad. Team is under .500 nobody lighting it up record wise behind the plate.

So glad we keep Shark 3 complete s***ty starts.

Jeff has cost himself millions of dollars this year.

Cubs double of course.

Needed a big hit and nada.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:53 PM) I am not sure why people take "could be" when talking about prospects, and then get pissed when it doesn't happen. Those are ceilings, not promises. The vast majority of guys don't hit their ceilings. Point was Sox brass is terrible at evaluating talent period. Still today are saying 30/30 nonsense.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:46 PM) No but he doesn't need to be. 20/10 guy would be fine. He will probably hit 15 home runs this year and he will continue to get better. Again nothing close to what was advertised by the Sox brass on the great Avi. I agree with your numbers by the way.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) I am not going to try to convince everyone that Avi will be a good ball player. When he reaches his potential all his haters will act like they always knew he had potential I am sure. He will never be the 30/30 guy projected by management ever.

Adam can sit till September.

Sox 2-1 Avi made up for it.

Terrible 3-1 swing

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) Soto is catching. This game is in the bag. We want the Cup. Nice picture love it.

Thanks Avi

Avi is such a butcher.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 08:02 PM) Yeah I have accepted this already. Hopefully the Sox will be able to recharge and adjust so next year they can have more success and silence some of the noise. In my heart of hearts I would still be happy for Cubs fans if they won a WS though. It's a great feeling that every baseball fan should experience at least once. Not me a Sox win and a Cub loss is a great day to me. I hope the Cubs never win the World Series.

Hope he recovers nicely, hate to hear that.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 01:28 PM) Vin Scully is dreadfully boring. It's too bad everyone is too kind to tell the old geezer and put him out to pasture. I respectfully disagree, I watch MLB package Dodger games just to hear him call the action.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 06:11 PM) He made the playoffs 7 times in 15 years. Ken Williams wishes he had that resume. Exactly right.

When Cubs move to 670 they will never be called out for any statement at anytime. They all have a Cubby chubby right now. B&B producer involved shocking........NOT!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 11:52 PM) This nickname isn't as cute or as funny as you think it is. It's pretty tired at this point. Do not remember asking your opinion.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 11:46 PM) fangraphs has them as equally bad on defense LaDunn a much better defender.
