thanks ump.

mlb.TV IS f***ING TRASH. so frustrated this year. Can't even pull the game up at all.

I'm ready for this game to start.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 02:48 PM) He trashed the organization by saying the organization made me choose, and I pick my son over all of my teammates." The big point in the story is the he says KW asked him to dial back the kid's presence and he said no. He then states that KW told him that his son wasn't allowed at all. KW insisted that there was no comment that he wasn't allowed. You can believe who you want but considering others children have been allowed into the clubhouse since the incident, I'll go with KW's side. If that is the case Adam lied about the situation to make the organization look bad. The best part of the article is where he goes "I totally get it, nobody wants this to turn into a daycare" and then in the same breath "but Drake is the exception". Ok then.

He sucked ass on the field and he's a righteous SOB off it. I can see him rubbing guys the wrong way.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Nothing to get up in arms about here. Should have news on Anderson shortly but "it's no big deal." Bladder infection. He's been hanging with Harvey and his...friends.

what a quote from Hahn given the Laroche situation: Yea, guys were way too comfie. Coming off '15 the last thing the players should be saying is "let's try again with the same guys!" Definition of insanity and all that.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) but i will give you credit, for knowing and seeing what the FO refuse to acknowledge. my rhetorical question is this, why is that?? Probably because the .1 WAR you might get from Ishikawi over Avi against RHP really isn't worth giving Avi 200 more PA to either close the book on him or to see something in him worth keeping. It's not like Ishikawi is some righty masher, he's marginally better at best.

thanks rabbit. I def agree with their philosophy. Hard to argue with their success in developing pitchers. Now, if they could just get a Don Cooper for the position players...

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) Why does Chris Sale give up so many bombs? I think he gets tired by the time the 6th rolls around most games and he just DGAF he'd rather throw a 93 mph heater down the pipe and challenge a guy then try and nibble and end up walking him. The only thing keeping him from being the best starter in the game is durability and stamina so hopefully those improve.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 01:03 PM) I remember hearing that about Rodon, but he came up in mid-April. How did that happen? I forgot it might have been a "handshake" agreement they had on draft day. I really have no idea though Rabbit might be able to fill us in more.

Q leading the charge on the pitching staff. Some HR/FB luck to start but given how cold it's been the ball has not been carrying.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 12:00 PM) He thinks he'll be here in May. They will almost certainly try and avoid the super 2 designation. When would that be, first week of June?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) Out of curiosity, when was the last big trade made during the second week of April in MLB? Good question, was playing around with this tool for a minute. It's rare, that's for damn sure. Usually if any trades get done, they are for cash or a PTBNL.

lmao "that fat boy can move"

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) Wade Davis does not have Alber's athleticism, as displayed by the double play turned today. ... it was a nice play

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 07:31 PM) The Angels really aren't that good anymore (watch us get swept), but the Rays are the first real opponent the Sox will have this year. Oakland is 4-3 and looking good...partially because of the guys in the shark trade

well this is a nice change. Offense is going to be mediocre all year most likely but if the pitching and defense is this good, well, team might do something. Key will be making sure the offense is at least mediocre because the defense and pitching is legit it seems. Also, great baserunning today. Good job.

Matt Albers has a good Kenny Powers vibe going right now.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 05:52 PM) No one is saying Quintana's a perfect pitcher. But I think you're overstating his faults, blowing too many leads is not one of them. And Quintana is effective because of the nibbling, he doesn't have overpowering stuff. If he didn't nibble he wouldn't be good. exactly. Q is the man, appreciate having a top 20 pitcher in MLB as your #2.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) God damn it Avi. He's such a conundrum. Showed great patience the last PA and got a walk. This time, goes after the first pitch and pops it up... Especially KNOWING he just led off Lawrie with a breaking ball strike. I COME ON THINK. Avi just seems like a low baseball IQ player. He should have been taking all the way there unless it was dead red outside fastball that he can drive.

QUOTE (Chris Sale @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 04:47 PM) Talk about getting squeezed, compared to those first inning calls for Gibson... no kidding.

Then a nasty slow curve. Q is fun.

Q has such amazing fastball command.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 04:40 PM) Nice work by the Sox to make a break pay off again this year. Certainly seems they have more guys capable of putting the ball in play and giving a professional at bat when guys are on.
