What are you referring to?

It's a day to remember him, but after seeing the documentary and his quality of life, more relieved for him than anything.

Let's just hope the husband to wife handoff is better than in Argentina.

I'm actually surprised it's only 40%

Worth it for last line.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 07:31 AM) This was all kinds of awesome. But the same can be said about Hillary in a way. She will say whatever you want to hear, and then do whatever she wants. For example, this being a baseball website, how she morphs into a Cubs fan whenever she's in Chicago. Clinton has run on basically the same platform as 8 years ago minus all of the health care items. She has had 3-4 major policy pushes this campaign that get zero coverage. She's been in public policy on a national level for 25 years.

That shocks me as every great falls update I see Zangari 0-4 3 ks since his demotion. Where are the good Zangari tweets.

I don't want to use more resources on acquiring a reliever until we are 10 games over again.

QUOTE (Nixon @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) That kind of symmetry / major character deaths are probably cribbed directly from GRRM and Robb's wife wasn't present at the Red Wedding. Yeah probably right.

Man what a disaster year 2 for him.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) It's a small sample but he is moving in the right direction at least. I didn't mean to imply I wanted him in the rotation, I completely agree that he shouldn't be there yet. I am pleased with his performance, I'm not disappointed in him at all. His strike percentage last game was 62% which is good. I just want to make sure he is learning how to survive in the strike zone and isn't just expecting these weaker hitters to constantly chase. I'm sure he could be okay in the bullpen now I just don't want to rely on this guy moving up this year as soon as he has a little bit of success.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 09:14 AM) So, House Democrats stage a sit in. Are they in 3rd grade? Oh, and they're obstructionists right? Liberals out there must hate that, right? Can't say I'm shedding a tear at "obstructing" vacation time. That's not really preventing the country from paying its debts. It's trying to get a bill to the floor. But, yeah, both sides.

Is Bossard going JUCO or regular?

I can't believe he's not meeting with Washington.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) Fulmer has 39 K in his last 29 IP, has cut his walk rate to just 8% over that period too. ERA over that stretch is still uninspiring (4.34 ERA), but the peripherals are starting to look good for him (only 1 HR in that stretch too), which is encouraging. EDIT: Those numbers don't include his latest start last night, 7 shutout innings with 7 K and 2 BB. What is that though, 4 starts? Even last game looked like he through just over 60% for strikes. I am glad he's doing well but I don't think he's shown enough yet to move him to the MLB for our fifth starter.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) I'm kind of digging Beck in the bullpen. Also, don't look now, but Carson Fulmer is starting to figure things out. Really want to see Fulmer get his K's and strike percentage up before moving up. I am very happy Beck came back from injury strong, but I really wish we could get more K power pitchers in pen. Maybe him going all out gets his velocity up and gets more swings and misses, but I wish he could have made it as a starter. Would have made a lot of things easier if Erik Johnson and Beck panned out.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) I agree with all this. But the Sox are probably due for an injury to a major player or two like most teams. So they have to be able to compensate with a very limited bench. I think they desperately need to find another 4/5 SP. I don't even know who comes up if one of the 5 starters hits the DL. I guess Beck would be the 6th starter on the depth chart Ranaudo/Beck/Carroll. Not good.

More than personalities, I think it has more to do with our horrendous training staff record.

Seems kind of loose. Robbs wife getting stabbed in the belly a thousand times started it off, and I think of Robbs death more of by crossbow.

No Washington?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 11:22 AM) Would be smart to give us another guy who can play 3B/1B on the roster. We can start Saladino in the field more and start DHing Frazier, Abreu, and Lawrie sometimes then other games start Davidson at DH Right, he would be much preferable from that standpoint. I wouldn't mind giving the guy a drink of the bigs. He's hung in there. Has to be a mind trip to be so close to your dream and it falling apart.

I have to stop and think in my head which brother it is each time. I know in concept more than name (i.e. we have the worse one).

Perhaps they could pull a costanza, and just show up at the next EU meeting acting like nothing happened. What us? Quit? Naw. What's next.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) Niko's first season: Awesome! Niko's second season: Disappointment Can we try and see what he is now that he'll likely be the 2nd or 3rd option on offense instead of the 4th or 5th? You mean last year? He can't finish at the rim, he can't rebound, he can't defend, he can't play the 3 or the 5, and he can't rebound. He also fouls too much, tries to bail himself out with flopping and has not stopped pump faking. He's 25, he's played 2 years. He started over 1/3 of the season last year. If he was going to improve he would have done it last year, the year where he shot 40% from 2.
