If he's not gonna be used here why is Petricka even on the roster?

RV asleep at the wheel again. He's obviously gassed.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 02:54 PM) Actually it hit Lawrie maybe both but I know it hit Lawrie so not totally Sands fault. It's Sands' fault he has to do a better job reading the throw. He's tagging and 1/3 of the way and when he sees it over the cut he's sprinting to 2nd and in easily. He didn't do any of that.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 02:53 PM) I kinda like the junkbally Latos. Reminds me of latter day Freddy. Little bit, I made the comp to present day Colon earlier in the year.

Nice to see the other team pop up a middle of the pipe 87mph "heater".

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 02:47 PM) Sands getting thrown out probably cost us a run. Sigh... Why was he not tagging and going halfway? Soon as the ball missed the cutoff he should have been into 2nd. Not good running and compounded by the awful decision to go for it once he saw the bobble.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) 16.3 BB%, 14.5 K% at AAA last year Well there ya go. I'm surprised how MLB pitchers seem to want to nibble around him. I'm sure the book soon will be to challenge him with fastballs up.

Once again the Rangers making a pointless delay.

Ya know, Sands seems to have a pretty good eye.

ok, let's not do a safety squeeze this time.

Good god, not sure what's worse "cinco de miller" or Benetti's awful attempt to "translate" miller into "spanish". Jason needs to turn down the kitsch at times. It's a long year dude.

wow, I got an ex that went to homewood floosmoor. In fact, I'm pretty sure her dad was the assistant principle. This was 10 years ago tho.

really annoys me how Stone never admits he's wrong. THey had no shot, good throw or otherwise.

Nice navarro!

f***ing beltre

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 01:31 PM) Thought that was gone off the bat Me too. RF was surprised as well. He's way out in front, zero power right now. also, Indians have said it's a left hamstring injury for Carrasco. Dunno if that's it. I'd be hesitant until the MRI especially given he was unable to put any weight on it. If it's a hamstring, it's a bad, Jozy Altidore like one in the World Cup a few years ago. I'd expect him to miss at least a couple months.

Jose needs peds or something yikes.

Zero babip luck this series other than that rollins looper.

I had no idea that latos had this good of off speed stuff. He looks good.

Another pointless delay frombthe rangers dugout.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 01:11 PM) Looked like hamstring If it is its a full tear and not much better. Zero weight on the leg was carried off by teammates. He is not coming back any time soon.

I think carlos carrasco just blew out his knee. Very similiar to the garett richards injury. Wow what a bad break for the tribe.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 07:26 PM) why is it that some people panic so quickly and gibe up on players? If Avi Garcia, et al, is batting a buck nothing at the all-star break then maybe we have to make a move. More than half our hitters are batting below the Mendoza Line 18 games into the season including our big two of Abreu and Frazier well those guys have track records of mostly excellence. avi has a track record of mostly suck.

Don't look now but using the projected standings plus current standings hybrid Fangraphs has the sox at 42.4% playoff odds and that is 3rd best in the AL!

They gotta get Rollins off short more. He almost cost them today but he's left at least a half dozen plays out there this year already. Not talking errors but plays a good defensive MLB makes. Stopping that ball and then turning the DP in the Lawrie snag are just two examples from today. also special dumbass RV move of the day today letting Duke pitch to Beltre. I mean, ok, it worked out but that is playing with fire giving Duke such high leverage against the platoon advantage. But, a win is a win and although the warning signs are there for this club to sink back to mediocrity there are also enough positive signs to think maybe they are a 86-90 win club. One thing is for sure and that is that Melky is doing his best poor man's version of Mike Trout right now. He's putting it together in all phases. Worth .7 fWAR already if not more after today. DH is a problem but there will undoubtedly but many DH types floating around at the deadline. Just somehow get enough out of it in the meantime. Just feel bad for Avi he's overmatched right now and needs to see AAA to clear his head. His adjustments haven't stuck at the MLB level maybe they will at AAA. He's still fairly young but right now he's not a MLB hitter. Make him hit his way back.
