QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) Another vote for adios to Avi. Seems like a good guy, but this is baseball, not politics. Sox managerneeds to have an every game counts attitude, Avi has an option left. Send him down, It's beyond obvious he needs time with his new stance. Too bad Coats isn't left handed.Shuck will come back 1st when EJ gets sent back down. Most likely no other changes will be made unless Avila goes on the DL then we'll see Kevan Smith. But like others I wouldn't mind seeing Sanchez and/or Coats up. Sands would have to be waived and Avi sent down .Neither are late inning defensive replacements . Coats and Sanchez would improve defense and give the team more versatilty. Since neither Avi or Sands are hitting could be a wash offensively or even a plus.

That was beeee u ti ful !

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) Panik again. Man. Draws the penalty . Yes.

Damn thought Ladd had that.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) I would like to reference my point to "please stop losing 3rd periods" right now. Here Here ! No defensive shell . Be aggressive.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 06:48 PM) The Hawks should just always play like they are this period. #analysis I love it when you analyze.

Glad the Blues didnt check to see if Weise was offsides.

Stretch pass, Panik, Toews, TVR, TIED !

Pitching, pitching and more pitching and a tiny bit of hitting.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 03:09 PM) Lol thank you. What a stupid game. T'was a beautiful game.

Yea he pulled it back. It was gone, can tell by how his wrist bend over the fence.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) Nice start Rollins Damn my TV broadcast is way behind. Rollins hasnt even got the 1st pitch yet.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) Rollins has to do everything to knock that down and he didn't. I'm tired of his defense and lack of range I can't see how anyone blames Rollins at all there. He has to straddle the base if he wants to apply a tag. He just can't decide mid-throw that the throw is bad and move around. Thats impossible. All he can do is try to get the ball on the hop and it was a high hop . Not much of a chance at all to catch it .

Need a DP.

If that was a suicide squeeze instead of a safety squeeze it would ve worked,

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) He was out. His hand came off of the base. I think you're right . Even when the Sox have a steal they don't have a steal.

Q must be pinching himself thinking it's all just a dream. To all you dudes who were preparing for the worst talking sweep for the Rangers all i can say is

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 05:23 AM) I have a bad feeling about this series. Hopefully they prove me wrong. If I had a buck for every wrong good or bad feeling on this board of the 10 years I've been here, I'd be rich .

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 5m5 minutes ago Chicago, IL But Quintana is 0-1, 5.82 ERA (11 ER/17 IP) in his last three starts against the Rangers dating back to 2013. On the flip side he has a 1.84 ERA dating back to last September, his last 8 starts. Only Arrieta,Kershaw and Strasburg has been better in that time span.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 09:54 AM) Jose Abreu walked a ton in Cuba. Now supposedly he swings at everything. OBP in lower leagues can be deceiving. If they aren't throwing someone anywhere near close, it's easy to walk a lot. If it's just off the plate or the guy can be attacked by better pitching, sometimes those numbers drop big time. Tyler Flowers was an OB machine in the minor leagues. I don't know if this guy is any good or not, but I would take his walk totals with a grain of salt unless you have actually seen him play or read a legitimate scouting report. Yep , it's a lot easier to gauge that junk Cuban pitchers throw than the best pitchers in the world with the hottest lava and Thor's hammer.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) I love the way Panik plays He definitely earned himself more playing time with his performance last night.

Mike Milbury who's been criticized for controversial comments in the past, took a pot shiot at Pat Foley complaints about late game starting times.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) TVR and Seabrook haven't exactly played that well this series.But basically I think Quenville is being out coached.Blues seem to know the Hawks system very well intercepting a lot of passes thrown around the boards and gumming up the neutral zone when the Hawks look for the long pass. Need some Panarin/Kane magic to survive. Asked for magic and got it.

Kaner !!!!!!!!

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 10:17 PM) How the heck did they win the whole thing last year playing 4 defensemen for every game? TVR and Seabrook haven't exactly played that well this series.But basically I think Quenville is being out coached.Blues seem to know the Hawks system very well intercepting a lot of passes thrown around the boards and gumming up the neutral zone when the Hawks look for the long pass.
