You know what....I think he was out. Flow barely got him while he was b****ing I think

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2013 -> 07:29 PM) Hawk and Stone talking about a change in Dunn's hand position to keep them higher through the zone. Irrelevant, Sox suck 4 evar

Adam. Dunn.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 14, 2013 -> 06:55 PM) If you make a trade like that, you absolutely bench someone like Dunn. Right, just bench whichever guy is playing worse at that point. Try to spread the ABs around a bit, playing matchups, but Adams becomes your best bat at that position.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 14, 2013 -> 06:44 PM) Where would he play? You pick a guy for him to replace this season, then he can be our 1B starting next year

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 14, 2013 -> 05:02 PM) These are the numbers after the initial cup of coffee in roughly the first full year's worth of plate appearances .271/.347/.483/.831 - 648 plate appearances - .282/.344/.482/.826 - 532 plate appearances - .270/.347/.460/.808 - 430 plate appearances -

Alexei for Matt Adams is my favorite thing I've heard all day. Count me in.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ May 14, 2013 -> 04:46 PM) Not sure what team you've been watching but I feel like I've been watching the SAME ONE since then, just replacing Thome with Dunn. I will say this, I should correct myself: they didn't suck last year until the last month or so, that's true. Don't know how that happened, but they were exciting for a while. Other than that though, meh. Me? I'm tired of the "patchwork" and hoping to "sneak in" to the playoffs. I'm willing to sacrifice to play the long game. They also sucked until Mid-May last year, but we all know the season is never lost just 30-some games in.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 14, 2013 -> 08:06 AM) not only 36, but often injured. No thanks on Chase Plus we have several options there. The corpse of Keppinger, Gordon Beckham, Carlos Sanchez. We shouldn't have to buy a player there...unless it's Robinson Cano. I'd trade my first born for that dude on the Sox QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 14, 2013 -> 08:29 AM) I think this is a cop-out answer and is totally wrong. A very similar offense to this scored the 4th most runs in the AL last year. They are bound to heat up at some point, and there's no reason to rush to a decision. Shh...we're the worst team ever!!!! AJ Pierzysnki is the only reason that team was any good!!!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 13, 2013 -> 11:54 PM) Ha. He's part of it. But really. I still have nightmares about that '04 Detroit team. #wORSTmoSTBoringChampionshipTeamSINCE1979. The grizzlies are so similar. So sad that Westbrook got hurt. That's the only reason this boring ass team is going to the conference finals. You're like a baseball fan that thinks it's only fun to watch when people are hitting bombs

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 13, 2013 -> 09:47 PM) Phegley was highly touted for the bat when he was drafted, as a supp pick. He started well out of the gate too, then had health issues over a multi-year period. He's finally been healthy a full season last year, and offseson going into this year. That, too, will do magnificent things. We shall see. He's had two straight full seasons of sub-.700 OPS baseball. I'm rooting for him.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 13, 2013 -> 11:33 PM) They remind me of the '04 Pistons. And that's horrible. It's the Tayshaun

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2013 -> 10:59 PM) At this point, why not put De Aza as the DH and bench Dunn? Put Wise in CF. Partial answer: PK can't play 1B every day Full answer: PK can't play 1B every day and we owe Dunn lots and lots of money

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 13, 2013 -> 10:56 PM) Flowers? His head isn't in the game. Ramirez booted that ball, but it was no routine play and probably shouldn't have been an error. Flowers is probably the easiest player to bench in that he isn't hitting or playing D. Dunn isn't hitting well and hasn't played D, but he made a couple of plus defensive plays tonight.

Mike Conley is one gutsy dude. Can't believe how Memphis can dump Mayo and Gay and still have this kind of team.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ May 13, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) What can he possibly have in mind? EDIT: RV on sox miscues:"Eventually you get to that point where you don’t pay attention to what’s going on, we’ll find somebody else to do it.” -- Gonzo Probably talking about benching. Who could he be talking about though? The worst offenders defensively are our best hitters

#gritngrind proud to be a Memphian with how this team looks right now

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2013 -> 09:46 PM) As Hawk just said, "right now, we're just not a good team" We should all be thankful Ventura didn't sign an extension and this is PK's final season under contract. When it's like this, tough to blame anyone because you really have to blame everyone. Just gotta brave the storm and hopefully we turn things around shortly. I know we can start playing better defense as soon as heads get out of asses. The hitting may or may not happen, but we don't have to give up runs by not communicating and BS like that.

This team could use an off day

I know Conor is tough because he doesn't wear batting gloves

PH for Kepp. Ballsy Robin, I like it. Don't let the contract dictate your lineup

Sometimes I feel like Dunn going 0 for 3 is a good day. Could be 0 for 4!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) Wow, how did Rios miss that pitch Had him looking outside so much that he couldn't do anything but damn near hurt himself on the inside fastball

Alejandro's swing looks a bit more toned down today. Can't argue with the ADA-Alexei 1-2 punch so far

Still in it. Let's go bats!
