QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 6, 2017 -> 11:16 AM) Our shortstop and right fielder lead the world in errors at their respective positions. Our first baseman is up there in errors himself and is below-average defensively. I like Delmonico's bat, but not sure it makes sense at this point in time to introduce yet another such defensive liability into the mix on a regular basis, particularly when a guy like Rodon is trying to turn the corner on potential ace status, and with the young guys Lopez and Giolito soon to arrive. Replace the SS with a better one - like Leury.

Site is still messed up. When I'm done reading a thread and click "GO" to get back to the list of threads on Pale Hose Talk it takes me off site to http://dnserrorassist.att.net/search/?q=ht...9169%26&t=0.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2017 -> 10:34 PM) Theoretically Anderson should be getting every start, Yeah, in Charlotte. Leury has shown promise and the Sox should see if he can be a productive starting SS. He has the tools and may prove to be the best SS for the Sox future if given the chance. At least he deserves an extended look. Anderson was given his chance and looks like he needs a lot more work on all aspects of his game in the minor leagues.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2017 -> 10:19 PM) Couldn't agree more. Anderson seems defeated on and off the field. It's just been a lost year and he's definitely gone from a core piece of the rebuild to a huge question mark. Leury, Engel, and Yolmer shouldn't have to fight for playing time while Anderson is starting every day.

Crap. Smith thrown out at plate.

Atta boy, Nicky! First base hit.

I'd like to see Leury Garcia start at SS for the rest of the year. Let Timmy grow up in AAA for the rest of this season.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Aug 1, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) Grab some bench Tim and while you're there, grow up. Get that chip off your shoulder young man. Anderson strikes out then stares down the pitcher and acts like he wants to fight while being restrained by Steverson causing both benches and bullpens to clear. Bush league.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 10:22 PM) I was feeling relieved about the injury before being reminded that Schwarber had a "knee contusion" last year that ended up being a season ending torn ACL/LCL. You never know for sure this soon.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 10:11 PM) Davidson could use another Gatorade shampoo and rinse... There it is!

Matt! Sox win!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 10:06 PM) Ricky's boys just won't quit. Ricky Ball - It's an attitude!

Here comes some more replay review nonsense.

Yolmer! Yoan who?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 09:04 PM) Actually Jason was making a good observation and argument for Willy having caught that ball. He made a real giidcsludinf catch and seemed to have control. Stone Pony was the voice of reason regarding the stupid rule Those Germans have a word for everything.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 08:50 PM) Maybe it's jut a really bad bruise That's what happened to Ordonez.

Shades of Mags and Willie Harris.

I enjoyed watching Melky play for the Sox. I wish him nothing but the best. I hope he contributes to a World Series title this year and earns himself a ring.

Beautiful play by Saladino to start the double play!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:33 PM) Adios Melky. You were a great team player, a very good hitter and a decent fielder. QUOTE (Soha @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) I'm going to miss Melky. Hope he kicks ass in KC. QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:54 PM) Going to really miss melky QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) Out of everyone that was traded, I will miss Melky the most. Idc what people say, he was a leader and the best personality, and he hit like crazy. Royals will definitely get a boost from him. I like Melky and wish him all the best in KC. I hope the Royals win the World Series this season and Melky provides some clutch heroics.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2017 -> 02:19 PM) He might snort the foul lines.

QUOTE (napa_soxfan @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 11:36 PM) Where are the "haters" coming from? Timmy's mind?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 10:02 PM) Tweeting from the locker room about not feeling the love seems very immature, especially considering how a huge part of the fan base he given him a pass for his miserable season. Poor Timmy feeling sorry for himself. Seems he's got some growing up to do.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 09:28 AM) I know it's not their fault at all, but it's not like the Sox did anything worthwhile when they had Eaton, Sale and Quintana on one team. Great pieces to have, but pointless if your owner/management weren't going to put the necessary pieces around them. And that's where the problem arose. Now we just have to trust the same organization to rebuild. When these prospects hit the big league club, will they put the necessary pieces around them or will we be back to square one? Only time will tell.

QUOTE (GermanSock @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 09:33 AM) The outlook for teams with a good farm is very good but the cubs were pretty much a best case outcome. Yep.
