QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2017 -> 10:16 PM) Goldschmidt would be a lot more well-known nationally if he played for the Red Sox, Yankees or Cubs. Hear ya....he just goes about his business and does things right. Hell of a player and teammate. Another guy I really like on the DBacks in Lamb. I've never really followed the DBacks all that much even living out here..but I really like this team they have and the new skipper.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:59 PM) Obviously he's a big step up from Robin. What will be interesting to me is if he'll still be around when the Sox become good again or will the Sox go out and try to get a "big name / big profile / history of success" type manager. I certainly hope not...but a lot depends. Too many variables to say whether they would or not right now...he's been great so far.

What a breath of fresh air over the staleness of Robin. Definitely B+....probably would have given him an A- if not for that amateurish bunting fiasco in Anaheim lol. I think this organization is very lucky to have him.

Would seem that Keuchel to the DL might be the kicker now...who knows if this will be a lingering problem.

This is outstanding news!!!!!

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 20, 2017 -> 09:11 AM) I also read this morning one column (I thought it was Heyman but I can't find it) that said Hahn may be "pulling back" from Robert. he better not be....

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 18, 2017 -> 09:14 PM) Always good to hear the Wimperoo! always one of my faves...and him and Hawk together are friggin great!

my mommy always just made a boo boo bunny with a wash cloth for those things...

When Moncada comes up I really don't see any point keeping him up if he has options. He's been atrocious so far this year at the plate.... great post btw Jake!

When he blew Trout away with a 99mph heater last night...it was one of the few times I've seen Trout overpowered. Just a nasty pitch. It really was a thing of beauty...

sorry but that was mickey mouse HS crap....all of it.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 16, 2017 -> 02:39 PM) This sounds very romantic. lol he is dreamy!

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ May 14, 2017 -> 04:20 PM) Juan Soto, Carter Kieboom, Severino Personally I would try to get Soto and Kieboom Personally a guy I like from the Nats is Stevenson...he could man CF for me any day.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 15, 2017 -> 07:09 AM) I can't see the Red Sox wanting to give up even more of their prospects. But for discussion purposes, what would a Quintana Frazier package look like? I assume Devers, Groome, Travis to start. Red Sox aren't giving up Devers...why give up the best prospect you have at a position of need for them? Just don't see it happening...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 9, 2017 -> 09:08 AM) It would give him a chance to work with Moncada a bit, but I think that is about the 20th option for the White Sox. I do think his new contract has something to do with this. He's trying to make the most simple plays look spectacular. He's still making the spectacular plays, and offensively it seems like he has been in swinging at the first pitch no matter what mode thinking it will be served on a platter like it is for many who have reputations of never swinging at the first pitch. He's trying too hard IMO to do too much. Hopefully, eventually he will calm down and slow everything down. I've said this all year long with my Dad...he just seems to be really pushing himself trying to justify the contract and has put a ton of pressure on himself. He'll settle down eventually once he gets past this mindset IMO...he's still young.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 4, 2017 -> 07:37 PM) I don't know about winning the division but the biggest mistake Sox management made while "going for ir" besides the half hearted effort of going for it was not firing Ventura. this and by A LOT!!! Renteria has been such a breath a fresh air actually having a capable person running the show. Loved Robin as a player...but good God he was absolutely the worst as a manager.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) I'd like to hear ptatc's take on Nate's throwing motion. It looks very hard on the elbow to me the way he moves he arm way away from his body then heaves it home. I will accept ptatc's take on the matter. I think he has always been an injury waiting to happen. yeah...I think this will always be the MO with Jones. Was hoping he'd skate thru the season healthy...and package him in a nice deal.

This team is actually fun to watch this year win or lose...no more being dulled to death from the dugout. Obviously some flaws...but the arrow is definitely pointing up IMO. Good lord those two jacks today from Davidson and Abreu were absolutely crushed. Love to see Davidson get more ABs instead of platooning. Nice job today. As to bmags point...I think Ventura's death took a big toll on them really...but yeah...they're back to being "the Royals" tho it seems.

Good lord that was hit hard....

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 3, 2017 -> 08:36 PM) Hawk in "everything about mlb sucks now" mode. Hard to listen to. Rather be listening to Hawk then these choads for KC....good God. Probably one of my least favorites in the league....

I'm more worried about his overall health. I honestly don't think he can see worth a crap anymore...and I'm not sure he's "melancholy"...but it's something. To ensue he doesn't really give a crap about this team is a little ridiculous IMO...

lol...not sure how this is even possible...but Frazier makes Abrue look like a Gold Glove

I'm fine either way. If they Sox bring him on board...yes...you have a professional player albeit not a great one to man CF. Maybe a change of scenery and the Cuban presence here will re-energize him. Cons: He's 29...what's the point?

still think at the end of the day...the Cubs make the most sense...for both teams. Their rotation is pretty meh besides Lester and Arrieta...and Hendricks looks rather pedestrian this year IMO. They can't keep trotting out Lackey out there. And honestly...would the Cubs back themselves into a corner or forced to give Arrieta a big contract?
