QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 12:40 PM) After today the Sox will be officially halfway through the season. As a fan, it feels like the it's going to be a really long second half, at least until some of the youth shows up.

f***ing cubs taking advantage of the system. Smart really.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 05:13 PM) That was not Melky"s fault Yikes. That was a brutal play. Bad jump, slow footed, bad mental judgement, it had it all.

He missed it by a foot. Dude, I've been there in LF, but that was DIII level.

lmao, clown show melky, should have caught the ball then turns it into a 3 base error.

Not even cooper can get Ynoa's wild ass fixed.

i hate to keep pointing it out but that is yet another player anderson rounds off, catches off to the side, and throws on the run. STOP IT. Set your f***ing feet. Catch the ball under belly button. Reset your feet and throw. Know who is running. He had him by 15 feet. One time out of 20 he throws that ball away or misses it because of poor fundamentals. On a play a MLB SS needs to make 99.9% of the time, not 95%.

Reverse Jinx!

PH Kevan Smith. LMAO

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 03:49 PM) I'd say Narvaez has the best plate discipline. The fact he can have 1/1 K/BB rates despite having 0 power is very impressive. True, that said, Yolmer can actually hit as well as work a count, at least moreso than Narvaez.

Yolmer Sanchez is probably our most patient hitter. That's something.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 03:43 PM) Davidson having quite the struggle making contact on this home stand He looked pretty defeated there. Not sure if that was a strike though, looked inside.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 03:12 PM) Someone on the Sox made a bad play and now he is the worst defender to ever put on a uniform. Let's simmer down now He's like -40 fRAA as a Sox. I mean, he's a f***ing butcher. He makes Avi look like prime Mike Cameron.

I'm so ready to see some youth called up in the pitching staff. Hopefully in the next couple weeks we see Reynaldo. I'd rather see him go 5 innings than some washed up 5th starter.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 02:48 PM) Sort of feel like it flies under the radar how awful Melky is. People constantly rag on Frazier even though he's a **significantly** better player. You're right about that. Melky seems like a hard worker and a fun team mate but his value 1 WAR because of his awful defense. I have no idea how this guy ever played CF. Youth I guess.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 02:22 PM) excellent tag plays by Sanchez on back-to-back days. Just sayin. Yolmer is the man. I'm so happy for him and his family. He's established himself as a 10 year utility guy if nothing else. Hopefully he can turn into a solid regular.

A good 1B makes that play so much easier. Konerko would have made the adjustment with his feet much smoother. Jose is down to -8 runs at 1B this year. I think the DH penalty on fangraphs is about 10 runs. So find someone that can f***ing not be -10 runs at 1B and make Jose a DH next year please.

Anderson made that play without any hassle but FFS dude start using good fundamentals. He catches the ball off his left foot way too often. I'm as high on TA as anybody defensively as he has everything you can't teach, including "go get the ball" instincts, but fundamentally he's a disaster this year.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 07:16 AM) We won yesterday to make it two in a row. If we win today, it's called a winning streak, it has happened before!

Yes, hell yes! This team deserved a walkoff, glad to see it. Can't lose every game. Couldn't have happened to a better guy as well!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 09:37 PM) Pelfrey has given up five runs and has played with fire every inning This could be a sox madlib. [s***ty veteran starter] has given up [> 3

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 07:51 PM) Kevin smith looks like an extra in a 90s baseball movie Hits like it too.

Raise that trade value Todd. Get hotter than s***.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 08:25 PM) That is not how I'll choose to rember Beltre lol, that is quintessential Beltre though. The man is not afraid to look the fool. It's part of his charm. I love the dude, one of my favorite players.

Yolmer is a vacuum.
