QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 25, 2016 -> 05:10 PM) Hire a real manager. Heck, give Renteria a shot. I'd take Renteria...maybe that's why he was brought in...in case this team fell flat on it's face again. That being said...some sort of change is needed. My first move would be s***canning Steverson....if for nothing else to start making people accountable and serving as a wakeup call.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) Huh? I don't want Avila catching really. Those 2 positions aren't dependant on each other lol If you're slotting a "non-hitter" in the lineup given tne current roster...Id much rather it be Jackson than Avila is the point.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 9, 2016 -> 06:16 PM) Might as well let play May in center and bat 9th. I'm sure he could put up Jackson offensive numbers for league minimum with better d. BS...I'd rather have Austin Jackson playing CF than Avila catching. And it's not even close....

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:21 AM) Even with Avila back, Navarro should get the bulk of the playing time, IMO. He's much better offensively and not that much worse defensively. This. I thought Avila was getting WAAAAAAY too much PT before he got hurt anyway.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 2, 2016 -> 09:41 AM) Shelby Miller is averaging fewer than 4 innings per start, has a 1:1 K/BB ratio, and boasts an 8.49 ERA. That trade has the potential to be the most lopsided in decades. It's exciting. Yeah...I still can't believe they gave up Swanson for the love of God. Dude his .333 his first 21 games in High A...got pushed up to AA and is only hitting .450 in his first 5 games. That trade's gonna hurt for a long long time...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 4, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) ESPN, this is the worst. seriously...these asshats are the worst by far.

QUOTE (Scoots @ May 4, 2016 -> 06:45 PM) He's here to play defense. As long as he does that, I'm fine with him batting .220 on the year. Other players can pick up the offensive slack. He gets enough hits to get by. If the team were losing, it would be another story, because he is basically hitting like Tyler Flowers (with a little more graceful swing, mind you). this. Plus...what's the alternative?....put Sands out there more? I don't want Eaton moving anywhere. His D makes up for any current shortcomings at the plate IMO. He'll be fine...

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 3, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Wait, didn't Boston just use their challenge? exactly...wtf do you even have a set number of challenges if a manager can come out and whine. I used to be all for replay...but honestly it's turned into a f***ing waste of time. I can live with the "human factor".

lol....geezus christ.

wow...nice throw!

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) *Man loses father* Fan response: S***! We have to use a nother player for 3 days. UGHGHG. I hope he gets some family time. ^^^ this...you'd hope it'd put things in perspective a little...but no. Heart goes out for Robertson....sorry to hear it.

he misses Drake...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 05:38 PM) Just another massive scouting blunder. Funnier aspect is they thought he could play CF and touted as "Miggy Jr"

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 05:19 PM) Bringing in no insurance in case Avi flopped was simply inexcusable. I will never understand having Sands on the roster coming out of ST instead of a lefty bat. Things will improve for this offense, but the pitching will fall back to earth as well. yeah...I'm about to start the Nick Markakis bandwagon thread before the Braves have a fire sale. He's owed what?...$30-31M for 3 years or something?

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) This team just looks like it has confidence, that's something I haven't seen out of the Sox in awhile. Once Frazier heats up with the bat we could see these guys really scare some opposing rotations. Exactly...confidence AND enthusiasm. You bring in guys like Lawrie, Navarro, Frazier, Latos, Avila...and have some of the hungry kids...it's bound to happen. This is a really good group and nice mix IMO.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 04:26 PM) If Frazier would start hitting, this offense would be fine. The only real hole would be at Catcher, which is acceptable. well...in Dioner's defense...his first two at bats he smoked the ball...just right at people. His second at bat I thought was a sure double...and was a great catch.

yeah...this is fun. Pitching has just been ridiculous and it's nice have a real live 3B!!!!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) But in all seriousness, Bauer should pay for it. shouldn't the Indians pay for it?...since he's their "property".

QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) I'm not entirely sure why Rollins is entitled to all this play time when he is coming off of an awful season and has very diminished range at SS. I simply don't support starting somebody his age at SS. The Sox have an above average defensive SS in saladino. He had a good spring and has had minor league success. Does anybody argue that Jimmy Rollins provides more on field value? Screw veteran entitlement. Play the player who helps the team more. Thought? Does Jimmy ride the pine soon? I really don't understand this thread at all?!?...seriously? Did you have the pleasure to get out to Spring Training and witness any games? Rollins brings a leadership...an on the field QB presence this team has needed for a while IMO. You miss a cutoff...he'll let you know. I actually think that's maybe a little tiny part of the perceived Eaton rift. Love what he brings to this team. And like DA said...he's already won a game...so you want him to ride the pine?

I really can't stand the Cubs like most...but this really does make me sad seeing him go down like this. Easily my favorite player on the Cubs with my inner desire to have him on the Sox one day. Sucks for Schwarbs...he was fun to watch. I kinda cringed when "the genius" Maddon put their prized 3B out in left after Schwarbs went down...not sure I'd be doing that too much anymore the Genius Joe.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) So far Rodon has looked better than Q and Sale IMO. I don't know...Sales besides one inning was ok. Not gonna knock any of these starts so far....

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) I love having a real-life 3B. just thinkin' that...and not have to worry about it for a while.

Nice grab Adam!!!

was that Jimmy patting Eaton telling him nice job before the break there for you conspiracy theorists?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) He really called that? hahaaaa...I can't quit laughing.
