QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 10:17 PM) Their hitters execute. Don't get it twisted. Eventually if you execute enough you become more valuable and better

Wish we were as clutch as the Cubs

Why are they so scared of Beckham?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) Is it really that hard to go the other way as a professional hitter? For some. That hasn't been a strike all day.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) i was caught up in conversation for a while, but really nice game from Q. we needed that so badly. Should be one earned.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:55 PM) He's still only 23 and without the benefit of a full season in the Major Leagues, so you would think he does have time, with experience, to fine tune those tools and then recognize his talent. The problem I have at this point is trying to get him to do that underneath the pressure of being a middle-of-the-order hitter. He needs to be down around 7th in the order at this stage of his career. I agree with this. I just hope pitch recognition is something he can learn. Right now he's totally guessing. And most of the time he's guessing wrong

That splitter isn't though.

His fastball is so straight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:47 PM) Problem with Avi is Hahn and company treated him like a future superstar this past offseason. The lineup looks awful with the equivalent of a slap hitter batting 5th. He has the tools. Just cannot identify pitches. That's a huge problem. Hopefully he can develop that with experience.

The Cubs are pretty fun to watch

Avi is such a bad guesser. No pitch recognition at all. I really hope it's something he can learn. Right now he knows if he's going to swing while they are delivering the pitch

Nice. Never bunt Melky again.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:34 PM) How are we going to f*** this one up? Walk pop out. Dp

That's a poor relay for once.

There we go Adam

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:28 PM) I wanted that from the beginning. What team is he playing for right now?

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 08:43 PM) Cuz I was serious about Hodges. I loved emulating his shot in my driveway. Plus I said my favorite not the best.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:26 PM) Hard hit line smash to left, Gordon perfectly positioned, had to dive a little bit for the out. Batter before that tried to be a hero instead of popping a single. Ended up flying out did Soto. Ten feet shorter and that's a single. Can't ask for more than a squared up liner.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:25 PM) Can I get a description of Bonifacio's out? Laced liner caught at the knees running in a few steps by Gordon.

Dammit. Nice swing Emilio

That was the pitch. Whiff

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Anything is walking distance if you have the time. Literally never heard that one before.

The KC twins would hit a bleeder here. The sox will pop out with a whimper.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:18 PM) I bet they try to get this inning completed, and the tarp goes on. Too wet. Probably. It's going to pass though.
