QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 09:42 PM) Conor Gillaspie has been en fuego this week. 5 for 13, 2 doubles, 3 RBI's and walk, .385 BAA Pulls his regular season OPS up to .680. Funny how joining a playoff team and fighting for your MLB career will inspire you...same happened with DeAza. 24 XB hits for the White Sox in just 3 games. Crazy. Doesn't seem like Alexei has 19 doubles this year. Or having a few days off for a guy that never really seems 100% and is relatively weak for a MLB player.

good job Carlos got the job done.

about time they got another XBH. Bunch of bums.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 09:40 PM) A young man pressing Yea I think so. I love the kid hope he succeeds obviously but he needs a day off.

One thing I like about Avi he plays hard.

Avi is all sorts of messed up.

Usually this stuff would really piss me off but a good offense can paper over a lot of dumb mistakes.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) He will learn. Sometimes it takes players a few years to really understand how to hit in the MLB. I would not give up on him at all He's got next year to prove it either way. Viciedo '14 part two basically.

Pretty nice pitch from Q right there kudos to Tyler for calling it.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) More power can be had by opening up your stance as well. Avi doesn't generate nearly enough torque for a man his size. When is the last time he got his hands extended and powered through a ball for a HR? Maybe that Detroit series 2 months ago.

that didn't take long.

Avi is really pulling off the ball I think Hawk is right he's gotta step further from the plate and maybe try and use an open stance.

helluva play by flowers gotta give credit where it's due.

LOL! From the red sox forum "don't really shoot yourself porcello with your aim you'd miss and take out ortiz"

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) Can't complain about not converting with the bases loaded and one out. Not when we scored 6 runs in 3 innings. Yea Jose had a pretty good AB just missed clearing them by what, 2 inches?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) Sanchez has hit on every level. He's going to stick here. I've been a fan for awhile of his game. I really wish the Sox would have broke camp with him instead of Micah but water under the bridge at this point.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) Reminds me of what people say about that Cleuluis Rondon kid we have in single-A. Except for him, it's a .220 AVG. Thing is tho Sanchez has hit fairly well in the high minors. I expected him to get the bat knocked out of his hands and that's what happened the first two months but based on his AAA stats the kid does have some bat speed.

nice take from a young hitter right there.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) It's amazing the difference in Sanchez's offense when he first came up and over the last month. Kid is on fire! It'd be so nice if he could keep hitting enough to stick at 2B going forward. all the kid has to do is hit 260/300/350 and he'll stick as a regular. His glove plays with that line in today's MLB.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:19 PM) He's got $80 million worth of reason for me not to lol....kidding aside it must be an awful feeling. He's lucky he's got the MLBPA behind him and not the NFLPA otherwise he'd have been cut long ago.

With an out I believe Sanchez will over take Flowers in OPS. LOL

WOW!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 07:10 PM) His problem is much deeper than something a couple mental days will fix. His problem is that he needs to make strong contact and maintain a near 300 average to have value. He sucks right now but he's also 24 with tools and if he was hitting 320/350/500 in Charlotte he'd be everyone's favorite. But he's getting MLB experience and you never want to write a 24 year with under 1000 MLB PA off that has the pedigree that Avi does. He's the least of this team's long term issues IMO. Yea he's not currently part of the solution but he's also not making jack s*** and can easily be jettisoned if they are suddenly looking at contending this year or next year.

Come on Avi. Man.

way to take your walk Jose.
