Look how much easier the Twins RF made that play look.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:12 PM) The swirling wind brought it back into fair territory and away from Abreu. I think Avi Garcia thought he was going to collide with Jose Avi just lumbers. Didn't look like he called it either. That's Avi's ball 100% even if it stays foul Abreu shouldn't even be in the area frankly.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:10 PM) Garcia is just the bane of my existence. He's everything you dont want in a baseball player. He's value is never going to be anywhere good enough because his defensive value is in the absolute s***ter. It's amazingly bad. I've defended this guy so much over the past few years. Can't do it anymore.

All the 2nd hand does on a play like that is get in your way. You can tell Avi plays with zero confidence defensively. You don't need two hands, this isn't little league.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:06 PM) I know it's a rebuild...whats the point of having Garcia in the OF? losing -- seriously, that's all I got.

I'm sick of Avi, DFA him. That is not a hard play.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:57 PM) Anderson needs to work on laying off the high pitch Yes he does.

Huh, SS was playing well in the hole and couldn't get it, we'll take it. 1-0 Sox.

Would have been safe easily.

why would you not send TA right there? Come on.

Very nice slide.

oppo field rope for TA on a high fastball.

dad gumit. Just got it a tad too on the handle. Tyler has had an impressive start.

Holland looks good.

Damn, TA just showing off the full package on that put out. Laser beam on the throw and easy range to round it off.

Todd with a great play to his left to start. Still has great reflexes even if the arm and range have fallen off some.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 12:16 PM) Right now, you call the Royals and trade them Robertson for 2-3 minor leaguers. They are desperate for bullpen help and he might save their season. Other than that, you are not going to get much for any of our guys. Nobody wants Frazier before free agency, ditto Melky and Av and Soto. Nobody wants anybody except Q. But you have a desperate team in the Royals. Robertson might save their season. I can guarantee that if Melky, Soto and Todd are better than replacement (and they should be) they will have value in July. Not a lot, but certainly would return like a B- prospect, especially if the Sox pay some freight. Stop worrying and enjoy the season. We can't lose really. If they suck, great, if they don't suck, that's cool too.

While I am fully on board with the tank and rebuild, I am rooting for the Sox to win up until it's obvious they aren't any good. If they want to make that July or August instead of May I'm fine with that. If the team is winning more then expected it's because guys are having solid seasons and increasing their trade value or are proving good players for the next playoff team. If Matt Davidson wants to go ahead and hit 250/320/440 I am not arguing but cheering.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 04:50 PM) What is: holy s*** thanks, lmao!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) I'm also somewhat getting the opinion this Tigers team...may not be very good. Indeed. At least the Sox realize where they are on the win curve.

What a f***ing quick bat Jose has at times. Getting the barrel on that ball was impressive.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 04:46 PM) Avi has had a decent game too. I like the hustle today. Bunting may in the second with the runner on 3rd made my day. Team looks energized. I think some of them are glad RV is gone.

The melk man!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 04:42 PM) I see where you're going with this. You want to destroy the source of the gif in order to destroy the gif itself? Or, at least that's what I'm hoping for. I mean I just want to know if that's a sox fan or what.

I'm rooting for a great draft pick as well but if this team plays .500 ball into June I'm not going to complain at all. It's more fun to watch wins, let everything else sort itself out and if the club is winning that means most likely that 1) the vets are raising trade value and 2) the kids are developing into strong players. Great double play!
