South Side Fireworks Man

Dreaded leadoff walk. Let's see what they can do with this.

Conor redeems himself!

I thought for sure Tyler would drop the throw from Alexi.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) There better be a few changes after the game tonight. Very discouraging that there's been so little action. There will be nothing.

And now comes the regularly scheduled defensive meltdown.

They're not going to give Conor much to hit here.

Quintana, like Sale, deserves a lot better. Can they please get him a few runs?

I wish Hahn would have taken Iglesias for Peavey.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 02:07 PM) From what? Has never been anything special at the plate. He's a slap hitter they are trying to make into a power hitter. So far, he's just another player they misjudged their ability on. But he bears a slight resemblance to Miguel Cabrera!

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 02:04 PM) I'm not watching the game but how does a single not score the man on third Bloop hit to short LF, looked like ball might be caught.

Poor AB Avi.

How will the defense blow this one? Robertson better strike out the side to insure a victory.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 03:47 PM) Beckham still sucks. Hopefully a team will take him for late defense, and can finally close the book. I like Beckham as a utility infielder. His weakness is exposed when he starts too often.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) I wish each game had their own review crew, where they are proactive on any potential review. Replay is good. Getting as many calls right as possible is a good thing. They just need to be faster and better at it. Most bad calls in every ballgame occur on balls and strikes so then why not replace the home plate umpire with a pitch trax type system?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 03:30 PM) That is 2 challenges for the Rangers lost and If they want another just ask. It should be you lose it for game no exceptions. That makes so much sense that it shouldn't even need to be said, yet here we are. MLB is a joke.

Stupid replay system again. What a f***ing joke this is,

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) That's kinda my reaction too. Heck, aren't we ahead in this game because of a defensive miscue on a double play ball? Exactly.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) We want Micah! I want someone good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 02:19 PM) Overpowered by 91 mph fastballs was Sanchez. Again, what are they thinking keeping him in the lineup? I'm glad the Sox are so deep at middle infield talent. At least that's what I kept reading for the past year or two.

Takes strike three right down the middle.

C'mon Martinez, hit Sanchez too!

DP ball turns into two runs for the Sox.

Melky found a way to get on base.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 01:59 PM) I definitely think it does help but these shouldn't take 3 minutes. Maybe they should change it to where they can't use stop motion to review safe/out calls on the basepaths. Just use slow motion to review the play. If it's close enough to where you have to use stop action and look at it over and over then the call on the field should stand. Replay should only overturn gross errors by the umps. Otherwise, go all the way and automate the ball/strike calls to remove all of the human element.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 01:58 PM) Sox should send all there players to Academy camp for defense. They should send them to some other organization's Academy.
